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: Can you wallpaper over wallpaper?

• <div><p>It depends: You can wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but you should never wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper. This non-recommended method will cause the new wallpaper to fail to stick, which can lead to bubbling, imperfections, and even mold growth between the layers of wallpaper. Consult a professional wallpaper hanger to determine your existing wallpaper type or remove the current wallpaper and paste residue so that the new wallpaper will adhere properly.</p></div>

Q: How long does peel-and-stick wallpaper last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-last.htm">How long peel-and-stick wallpaper lasts</a> depends on a few factors, including the conditions in the room, the quality of the wallpaper, and the wallpaper's application. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but you may decide to remove it sooner. Under ideal conditions, it can also last for much longer.</p><p>Factors that may shorten the lifespan of peel-and-stick wallpaper include high humidity in a room (such as a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper.</p></div>

Q: How many times can you wallpaper over wallpaper?

• <div><p>Most experts would not recommend hanging wallpaper over existing wallpaper more than twice. Even if the walls are in good condition and primed well, that third layer of wallpaper could cause problems with adhesion. Unless you like bubbling paint and peeling wallpaper as an interior design choice, it&rsquo;s better to remove at least one existing layer before adding any more to a wall. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-paintable-wallpaper.htm">paint over existing wallpaper</a> if you select wallpaper that is designed to be paintable. This type of paper is meant to add texture to walls. Alternatively, if you have old wallpaper you&rsquo;d like to cover up, you can often paint over that instead of removing it. However, it needs to be smooth, damage-free, and non-textured. Otherwise, any bumps, tears, and texture will show through the paint.</p></div>

They do great work--they're honest, thorough and skilled, but the wait time is consistently very long, even for simple inspections. A couple of times I've had to go to the counter and ask about my car--they'd forgotten to get me when repair was complete. I recommend dropping off your car to pick...
