A professional
paperhanger will guarantee that a wallpaper installation
will stay for years. However the professional wallpaper installer has no
control over the layer of wallpaper underneath that some one else
installed. That wallpaper should be removed.
Just because the
old wallpaper seems tight now does not
mean it will stay tight for a new wallpaper installation. Wallpaper
expands when wet and contracts as it dries, causing a lot of
pulling
force on the surface permanently.
Therefore to guarantee a QUALITY
wallpaper installation...the professional wallpaper
installer must use good wallpaper removal techniques and start with properly
prepared walls.
There are many
places to learn how to remove wallpaper.
HOMETIME
is an excellent place to start, but use caution and use good
wallpaper stripping methods. Also the surrounding areas must
be properly protected. A
damaged wall or water soaked floor can cost more to repair than hiring a
professional in the first place.
A professional
wallpaper stripper can usually get paper off unprimed drywall with
minimal wall damage.
