While painting over wallpaper is technically possible, we generally recommend wallpaper removal for the best long-term results. Here's why: 1. **Adhesion Issues** - Paint may not properly adhere to certain wallpaper types 2. **Pattern Visibility** - Wallpaper seams and textures often remain visible through paint 3. **Future Removal Problems** - Painted wallpaper becomes significantly more difficult to remove later 4. **Moisture Concerns** - Water-based paints can reactivate wallpaper adhesives, causing bubbling Our professional team can efficiently remove existing wallpaper, repair the wall surface underneath, and apply a proper primer before painting. This approach ensures the smoothest finish and longest-lasting results. However, in some specific situations where removal is impractical, we can discuss specialized techniques for painting over wallpaper.
