Q: What is the best paint to paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>While you could conceivably select <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sheen-confusion-choosing-best-paint-finish.htm">any paint finish</a>, paintable wallpaper tends to look its best with a flat or eggshell finish. A higher gloss paint might make the texture pop more, but it can look a bit dated once the paint has dried. And don&rsquo;t worry about whether a water-based latex paint will loosen the wallpaper. Paintable wallpaper has a coating that prevents this from happening, so using latex paints without applying an oil-based primer to seal things first is fine.</p></div>

Q: What is the downside to peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn&rsquo;t last quite as long as traditional wallpaper. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-last.htm">life span of peel-and-stick wallpaper</a> is about five years, depending on the quality of the wallpaper and how well you prep the wall before applying. The good news is that, because of its shorter lifespan, peel-and-stick wallpaper is a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain walls after wallpaper removal?

• <div><p>Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.</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: Can I hang wallpaper over textured wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that&rsquo;s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding. </p></div>

Travis was very responsive. I hired him to repair a number of items on a house I recently bought, from patching cracks in the chimney to venting my dryer to an exterior wall to replacing handrails and baseboards. I needed drywall repair as well, which he does not do, but he had someone come in,...
