Explanation: This is a question we hear a lot. We hear it from people who just moved into a house with wallpapered walls they don’t like, and we hear it from folks who some years back decided to do a wallpaper job but now aren’t thrilled with the appearance. The rumor you often hear is that you can’t paint over wallpaper, that you have to go through a massive stripping effort before paint can safely be applied. This is only true in some instances. If the wallpaper is peeling or showing other signs of adherence problems, you’ll have to determine if a good sanding job will solve the problem. A full-scale stripping job might be necessary, but then it might not, so don’t automatically run out and arrange for this service. In most cases, as long as the wallpaper is uniformly stuck to the walls, there’s no need to strip. But you do need to take certain measures in painting over it.
