Wall area, adhesive type, and how much skim-coating the walls need drive the cost most. The painter who quotes the job sets the final price after seeing the space in person, so it is worth comparing more than one written quote before you sign.

Lake San Marcos sits in an inland valley microclimate with warmer summer afternoons than coastal cities and HOA-managed paint palettes throughout. UV fade on south walls drives the repaint cadence more than any other factor here. Inland wallpaper is typically drier and comes off easier than coastal.

You can, but it's almost always worse. Paint reactivates the seams, which then telegraph through. The paper edges curl at the perimeter. Moisture in a kitchen or bathroom lifts the whole sheet. Short-term savings, long-term redo. A painter quotes paint-over only when removal would destroy the drywall.

That's common on old papers installed directly over unprimed drywall. Independent painters skim-coat the torn drywall paper with joint compound, sand it smooth, prime with Gardz, and paint. Adds half a day and some cost but the wall comes out cleaner than before.
