Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove pre-pasted wallpaper?

• <div><p>To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you&rsquo;ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.</p></div>

Q: Will peel-and-stick wallpaper damage walls?

• <div><p>For the most part, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-damage-walls.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper doesn't damage walls</a>. However, there may be some cases when damage does occur. For example, if you try to rip the paper off the wall, you may pull away some paint at the same time.</p><p>The walls can also be damaged if they aren't prepared properly before you add the wallpaper. For example, if the coat of paint is too fresh when you put the wallpaper on the walls, it can peel away as you remove the paper. </p></div>

Q: How do you remove unused wallpaper paste?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it&rsquo;s in by letting it dry. If it&rsquo;s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it&rsquo;s water-soluble, don&rsquo;t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.</p></div>

Q: What are common challenges in wallpaper removal?

• <div><p>Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.</p></div>

Hugo did a fantastic job. Had a lot of brush removed but found lumber under brush and removed it too. The price was reasonable and the job he did was great. I would definitely use Hugo for a job well done!

From Sales to Installation, The Brothers That Just Do Gutters' team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They kept us aware of each and every step in the removal of the old gutters as well as the replacement process. We would definitely hire them again if the need arises.
