Q: What’s a good alternative to a magnetic paint wall?

• <div><p>If you need a stronger magnetic surface, or you need to use a different type of paint in the room (like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/waterproof-paint.htm">waterproof paint</a> in a damp basement), there are other accessible options. You could fit a steel panel over the wall, try magnetic wallpaper, or apply chalk paint instead. </p><p>If you want an inexpensive shortcut, hang a pinboard or chalkboard on your wall. These removable options are ideal if you&rsquo;re a renter who can&rsquo;t repaint or plan to move in the near future.</p></div>

Q: Should I overlap seams when hanging wallpaper?

• <div><p>No. If you overlap seams, the wallpaper will not come out flat. In addition to possibly throwing off your pattern match between rolls, overlapping seems necessary. If wallpaper is properly acclimated, and temperature and moisture conditions are optimal during installation, there is no reason to fear shrinkage as it dries.</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>

Q: How long does wallpaper last?

• <div><p>Wallpaper lasts an average of around <b>15 years</b>, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest&mdash;sometimes 20 years or more&mdash;while a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper</a>, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.</p></div>

Q: What are the downsides of textured walls?

• <div><p>While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they&rsquo;re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. </p></div>

"
Removed a window Air Conditioner that was installed with no intention of being removed! All went well, except they did not put down any protective covering on the rug in the area. About 2 pints of old dirty water spilled out onto the rug, but they worked diligently to clean it up. If you didn't know it had happened you would not notice it on the rug.

He tightened up some outdoor flood lights that had become loose. He checked the other set, just to make sure. Also, he repaired a downspout that had detached. A very clever repair that has worked perfectly since he did it.

Overall the work was completed satisfactorily.
