Is painting over wallpaper a good idea?

• <div><p>It’s best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wallpaper-removal.htm">remove wallpaper</a> rather than paint over it. You should only paint over wallpaper if removing it would damage the wall, the surface is relatively smooth, or there are minimal problem areas—such as slight peeling and lifted seams—that you can fix easily. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it can create more problems if the wallpaper is in poor condition and you don’t properly prep the area for painting. Depending on the state of the wallpaper, color, and textures could show through, and moisture from the paint could loosen the adhesive, causing unsightly bubbling.</p></div>

Can a handyperson fix a hole in the wall?

• <div><p>It depends on the construction of your wall. Most handypeople can fix small holes in drywall. If your wall is plaster or brick, more significant damage may require a drywall contractor or a mason. Hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-common-handyman-prices.htm">handyperson costs</a> less than a more specialized type of contractor, but they’re not trained in all types of wall repairs.</p></div>

We paid this contractor a large sum to repair our retaining wall. 6 months afterward it looks even worse than it did before the repair. We attempted on multiple occasions to give Dan a chance to make it right, but there is no response or follow up in the past couple of weeks. The only reason...

I was able to contact Phillip by phone right away. He had a full schedule and said it would be a few weeks before he could work me in. That was fine. He called me a few couple of weeks later and set up a time to come to my house and do the work. He showed up on time, worked real **** ** a hot...

I noticed a damp carpet in one of the bedrooms this weekend. Being a little bit of a do-it-yourself sort of person, I checked the A/C drains and bathroom plumbing adjacent to the bedroom. I discovered water behind the commode around the water supply pipe. I gathered the tools to remove the...

"Randy quoted a price for the job and that is exactly what it came to. He brought receipts for the materials that he purchased for the job as he said he would do. He said he would be at the job at 8 AM and he was there at 8 AM. He said the job would last one day, it lasted one day. He even called and let me know that they forgot to do something and would be back the next morning and he was. On a personal note, Randy knew I was going in for cancer surgery. He called and asked how I was doing from the surgery. I have never had a person who has done work for me care so much. Would I hire Randy and Chris again? I am going to in the next few weeks. I was very pleased."

"Do not hire?.We hired him to replace a wood fence and porch lights. Light project went ok, but not the fence replacement. He installed a fence post which was out of square. The fence boards he claimed were good quality, cracked next the day from too much pressure. He used 8 ft boards instead of 4 ft. It took him two weeks to return to replace the fence post and six new boards which cracked the next day. He blamed Home Depot for defective boards. He chose their product and blamed Home Depot. I told him he should pull the boards off and cut to 4 ft and re-install. He said he wood for more money. I told him no it was his responsibility to fix it. He never returned. Me and my spouse pulled the boards off, re-cut and re-installed. I should not have listened to his sales pitch."
