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’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: Is hiring a wallpaper removal specialist worth it?

• <div><p>Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.</p></div>

Q: How do I remove a wallpaper border?

• <div><p>Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.</p></div>

Q: Is removing wallpaper difficult?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wallpaper-removal.htm">Removing wallpaper</a> can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it&rsquo;s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it&rsquo;s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.</p></div>

Q: Can mold grow behind peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren&rsquo;t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It&rsquo;s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling. </p></div>

Sonja responded quickly and professionally, charged a fair rate and did a phenomenal job! Highly recommend and will call on her again for any and all future wallpaper projects in my home. There are just some things that are better to hand over to a pro than try to DIY, and this is one of them....
