  3. Surface Preparation: We thoroughly prepare your walls by filling holes, sanding imperfections, cleaning surfaces, and applying the appropriate primer for your wallpaper type.
  4. Precise Measurement and Cutting: Each strip is carefully measured and cut with attention to pattern repeat and matching, minimizing waste while ensuring perfect alignment.

  7. Final Inspection and Cleanup: We inspect every seam and corner, clean up all materials, and walk you through the finished result to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Materials and Surfaces We Work With

Our installers are experienced with a wide range of wallpaper materials and wall surfaces:

  • Vinyl wallpaper: Durable, washable, and available in countless patterns. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas.
  • Non-woven wallpaper: Easy to handle and remove, with excellent breathability. A popular choice for bedrooms and living rooms.
  • Grasscloth: Natural fibers woven onto a backing for a warm, organic texture. Perfect for creating a sophisticated, earthy atmosphere.
  • Silk wallcovering: Luxurious and elegant, silk adds a refined touch to formal dining rooms, master bedrooms, and entryways.
  • Fabric-backed vinyl: Combines the durability of vinyl with the texture of fabric. Suitable for both residential and light commercial applications.
  • Murals and custom prints: Large-scale images and custom designs that create stunning focal points in any room.
  • Peel-and-stick wallpaper: Removable options for renters or those who like to change their decor frequently.

Feature Walls and Pattern Matching

One of the most popular trends in residential wallpaper is the feature wall, also known as an accent wall. A single wallpapered wall can transform an entire room, adding depth, color, and personality without overwhelming the space. Our installers are experts at creating stunning feature walls that serve as the focal point of your room.

Pattern matching is where our expertise truly shines. Complex geometric patterns, large-scale florals, and intricate damask designs all require precise alignment from strip to strip. Our installers take the time to ensure every pattern repeat lines up perfectly, creating a seamless look that makes the wallpaper appear as one continuous design across the entire wall.

Wallpaper Aftercare Tips

After your wallpaper is installed, proper care will keep it looking beautiful for years. We provide every client with aftercare guidance specific to their wallpaper type. General tips include avoiding direct sunlight on delicate materials, using a soft damp cloth for cleaning vinyl wallpapers, and addressing any lifting edges promptly with wallpaper adhesive. For specialty materials like grasscloth and silk, we recommend gentle dusting with a soft brush and avoiding moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can wallpaper be installed in bathrooms and kitchens?

Yes, with the right material. Vinyl and vinyl-coated wallpapers are moisture-resistant and ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. We recommend avoiding natural materials like grasscloth in high-humidity areas.

How long does residential wallpaper last?

With proper installation and care, quality wallpaper can last 10 to 15 years or more. The longevity depends on the material, wall preparation, and environmental conditions in your home.

Do I need to prime my walls before wallpaper installation?

Yes, priming is essential for proper adhesion and easier future removal. We include wall priming as part of our standard installation process.

Can you wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

We generally recommend removing old wallpaper first for the best results. Installing over existing wallpaper can lead to bubbling, peeling, and an uneven surface. Our wallpaper removal service ensures a clean slate.

What is the difference between pre-pasted and unpasted wallpaper?

Pre-pasted wallpaper has adhesive already applied to the back and is activated with water. Unpasted wallpaper requires separate adhesive application. We work with both types and recommend the best option based on your specific project.

Can wallpaper be installed on textured walls?

Textured walls need to be smoothed before wallpaper installation. We offer skim coating and sanding services to create a smooth surface. This extra step ensures the wallpaper adheres properly and looks its best.

Do you offer wallpaper for rental properties?

Yes, we install peel-and-stick wallpaper that can be removed without damaging walls, making it perfect for rental properties. We also offer traditional installation for property owners looking to upgrade their rental units.

How do I choose the right wallpaper for my room?

Consider the room's purpose, lighting, size, and existing decor. Lighter patterns can make small rooms feel larger, while bold designs create dramatic focal points. We offer free consultations to help you make the perfect choice.
