Q: Can you wallpaper over existing wallpaper and how many layers are recommended?

• <div><p>In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common.

If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.</p></div>

Q: Can I put up my own wallpaper?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to hang your own wallpaper, but the process is tedious and potentially frustrating, and it can be challenging to get seams to line up and look clean and professional. Plus, depending on the type of wallpaper you&rsquo;re installing, using too much or too little adhesive could cause damage to your drywall or plaster, peeling, and bubbling in the final product. It&rsquo;s usually a better idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-questions-ask-when-hiring-wallpaper-pro.htm">hire a professional wallpaper installer</a> to do the work for you, as the relatively low cost is justifiable, if only to avoid damage to your walls.</p></div>

Q: Can you use peel-and-stick wallpaper in a bathroom with a shower?

• <div><p>While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>Yes, you can apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling, but it requires significant preparation for a good result. Peel-and-stick wallpaper has a weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper and works best on smooth, non-textured surfaces like painted or primed drywall. Because wood paneling is often textured with grooves, any flaws in the underlying surface will likely be visible after application. To prepare the paneling, you must ensure the surface is free of cracks, holes, and protrusions by filling any indentations and sanding rough spots to create a smooth surface. An alternative is to remove the paneling and apply the wallpaper directly to the underlying drywall or plaster, provided it is in good condition.</p></div>

Q: Do walls have to be perfectly smooth for peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-put-wallpaper-on-textured-walls.htm">apply wallpaper on textured walls</a>, the peel-and-stick variety won&rsquo;t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.</p></div>

I had Jose come back to paint one door and sand and stain another that we hadn't thought of in the first round. Everything was great.

"The new kitchen turned out wonderful with the help of Chapman-Lockwood’s help on color and material selection. The work included new cabinets, granite countertops, remodeled two bathrooms, repairing tile flooring and paint. In short, half our house was demoed and rebuilt. Chapman-Lockwood was recommended by a neighbor that is very picky. The contractor’s crews were always on time and worked hard all day. Their work exceeded my expectations.
