It is hard to know just how many layers of wallpaper are actually on your walls if you are not the original owner of the home.

Can a Professional Paint over Stubborn Wallpaper?
There are some extreme cases where the wallpaper in your home has been on the walls so long or the layers of glue have created a scenario where the wallpaper just cannot be removed without causing permanent damage to your walls. In this case, your best option is to paint over the existing wallpaper. However there are a specific set of steps that must be taken before you immediately begin to brush paint over that horrific looking floral pattern of wallpaper that you have been staring at. McKay’s Painting knows the appropriate steps to take when painting over wallpaper so the end result is a clean clear surface that no longer looks like there was ever wallpaper there.
