Can you put peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling?

• <div><p>Peel-and-stick wallpaper isn’t the best choice to cover wood paneling. Because paneling has a textured, uneven surface with grooves and peel-and-stick wallpaper has weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper, you’d need to do a significant amount of prep work to get the wallpaper to lay flat and adhere properly. Peel-and-stick wallpaper works best on painted or primed drywall without a textured finish.</p></div>

Q: What types of wallpaper are available?

• <div><p>Many types of wallpaper exist, from removable peel-and-stick options to more permanent options that involve pasting. You can also find wallpaper that you can paint over, wallpaper with a texture, and wallpaper made from various materials, such as vinyl. Some types of wallpaper are washable, which can be a great option for kitchens or if your household has small children.</p></div>

Q: How much does wallpaper installation cost?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hang-wallpaper.htm">cost of wallpaper installation</a> is around <b>$550 per project</b>, or between <b>$200 and $1,500</b>, for most homeowners. Since projects and application areas vary wildly by size, it&rsquo;s usually more helpful to have an estimate per square foot, which is between <b>$1 and $7 per square foot</b>, or an average of <b>$4 per square foot</b>. Project prices can fall above this range, though, especially if you purchase custom wallpaper or a luxury product. The best way to get an estimate for your project is to have a professional inspect your space and provide a quote.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint do paintable wallpapers need?

• <div><p>The color of the paint, its opacity, and the depth of the texture on the paper all affect how many coats of paint you need to apply to paintable wallpaper. You'll need at least two coats of paint to ensure even coverage. Don&rsquo;t be surprised if you need to apply three coats if the embossing is very deep or if you use a dark color.</p></div>

Q: Can you put peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling?

• <div><p>Peel-and-stick wallpaper isn&rsquo;t the best choice to cover wood paneling. Because paneling has a textured, uneven surface with grooves and peel-and-stick wallpaper has weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper, you&rsquo;d need to do a significant amount of prep work to get the wallpaper to lay flat and adhere properly. Peel-and-stick wallpaper works best on painted or primed drywall without a textured finish.</p></div>

Q: Why did my peel-and-stick wallpaper fall off?

• <div><p>Your peel-and-stick wallpaper can fall off for multiple reasons, including high humidity levels, extreme temperature changes, poor installation, and even the wall surface. Textured walls can prevent the adhesive from fully sticking to the wall, making it more likely for the wallpaper to peel off. Low-quality wallpapers with weaker adhesives are also more likely to fall off prematurely. </p></div>

George's estimate was the lowest of all three that we got, and we wondered whether his quality would suffer as a result-- but he got such good reviews on Angie's list that we decided to take a chance, and are very glad that we did. George did a lot of the work himself (carpentry, painting,...
