Our Installation Process
- Consultation: We visit your home, measure the space, discuss your design vision, and provide a detailed written estimate.
- Material Selection: We help you choose the right wallpaper type, pattern, and adhesive for your specific walls and room conditions.
- Wall Preparation: We clean walls, fill holes and cracks, sand rough spots, and apply the appropriate primer for optimal adhesion.
- Precise Cutting: Each strip is measured and cut to account for pattern repeats, ensuring seamless alignment throughout the room.
- Expert Application: Our installers apply each strip with care, smoothing out air bubbles and ensuring tight seams.
- Trimming and Detailing: We carefully trim around windows, doors, outlets, and moldings for a clean, professional finish.
- Final Walkthrough: We inspect every seam and edge with you to ensure your complete satisfaction before we leave.
Feature Walls and Pattern Matching
One of the most popular residential wallpaper trends is the feature wall — a single wall that serves as the focal point of a room. Our installers are experts at creating stunning feature walls that draw the eye and define a space. We pay meticulous attention to pattern alignment, especially with large-scale geometric or floral designs where even a slight misalignment becomes noticeable.
For full-room installations, pattern matching across multiple walls and around corners requires advanced skill and experience. Our team ensures continuous pattern flow throughout the room, creating a cohesive, professional look that sets our work apart from less experienced installers.
Materials and Surfaces We Work With
- Non-woven wallpaper (easy to install and remove)
- Paper-backed vinyl (durable and moisture-resistant)
- Grasscloth and natural fiber wallcoverings
- Silk and textile wallcoverings
- Peel-and-stick wallpaper
- Murals and custom-printed wallpaper
We install on drywall, plaster, painted surfaces, and previously wallpapered walls (after proper removal and preparation).
Wallpaper Aftercare Tips
After your installation, proper care ensures your wallpaper looks beautiful for years. Avoid touching the wallpaper for 24 to 48 hours while the adhesive fully cures. Clean with a soft, dry cloth or a lightly damp sponge depending on the material type. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For rooms with high humidity, ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture damage.
Pricing Factors
The cost of residential wallpaper installation depends on several variables. Room size and ceiling height determine the amount of material needed. Wall condition affects preparation time — walls with significant damage or texture require more prep work. The wallpaper material itself plays a role, as delicate materials like silk and grasscloth require more careful handling. Pattern complexity also matters, since large repeating patterns generate more waste during cutting.
We provide transparent, detailed estimates during your free consultation so there are no surprises.
Timeline and Preparation Checklist
Most residential rooms can be completed in one to two days. Before our team arrives, we recommend:
- Moving furniture at least three feet from the walls
- Removing wall art, mirrors, and curtain rods
- Covering floors near the work area with drop cloths
- Ensuring the room temperature is between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit
- Providing clear access to the work area
