Our Installation Process
Every residential project follows a structured process designed to deliver consistent, high-quality results:
- Initial Consultation: We visit your home, assess the walls, take measurements, and discuss your design preferences and material options.
- Material Selection Guidance: Based on the room's purpose, humidity levels, and traffic, we recommend appropriate wallpaper types and adhesives.
- Wall Preparation: We repair cracks, fill holes, sand rough spots, and apply primer to create a perfectly smooth surface.
- Precise Measurement & Cutting: Each strip is measured and cut with allowance for pattern matching, ensuring minimal waste.
- Professional Application: We apply wallpaper using proper techniques — smoothing out air bubbles, aligning patterns, and trimming edges cleanly.
- Detail Work: Corners, outlets, switches, and trim areas receive careful attention for a polished finish.
- Final Inspection: We walk through the completed work with you, ensuring every seam is tight and every pattern aligns perfectly.
Feature Walls & Pattern Matching
Feature walls have become one of the most popular ways to add personality to a room without overwhelming the space. A single wallpapered wall can serve as the focal point of a bedroom, living room, or dining area, creating visual depth and interest.
Our installers excel at pattern matching — the art of aligning repeating designs across multiple strips so the pattern flows seamlessly from one edge to the next. This skill is particularly important with large-scale prints, geometric patterns, and murals where even a slight misalignment is noticeable.
We also provide guidance on which wall to feature, considering natural light, furniture placement, and room proportions to maximize visual impact.
Materials & Surfaces We Work With
Our team has hands-on experience with every major wallpaper type available today:
- Vinyl wallpaper: Durable, moisture-resistant, ideal for kitchens and bathrooms
- Non-woven (fleece): Easy to handle, breathable, great for bedrooms and living areas
- Grasscloth: Natural texture, eco-friendly, adds warmth to formal spaces
- Silk and fabric-backed: Luxurious finish for master bedrooms and dining rooms
- Peel-and-stick: Removable option for renters or temporary installations
- Custom printed murals: Large-format photographic or artistic designs
We also work on various wall surfaces including drywall, plaster, painted surfaces, and previously wallpapered walls (after proper removal).
Aftercare & Maintenance Tips
Once your wallpaper is installed, proper care ensures it looks beautiful for years. Here are our professional recommendations:
- Allow 24-48 hours for adhesive to fully cure before touching or cleaning the surface
- Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth or vacuum with a brush attachment
- For vinyl wallpaper, wipe gently with a damp sponge and mild soap if needed
- Avoid placing furniture directly against freshly installed wallpaper for the first week
- Keep rooms well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup behind the wallpaper
- Address any lifting edges immediately — a small amount of seam adhesive can prevent larger issues
Pricing Factors
The cost of residential wallpaper installation depends on several variables. We provide transparent, detailed estimates so you know exactly what to expect:
- Room size: Larger rooms require more material and labor time
- Wall condition: Walls needing extensive preparation add to the project scope
- Wallpaper type: Specialty materials like grasscloth or silk require more careful handling
- Pattern complexity: Large repeats and intricate patterns take more time to align
- Obstacles: Windows, doors, outlets, and architectural features add complexity
- Removal of existing wallpaper: If old wallpaper needs to come down first
We never charge hidden fees. Your estimate includes all preparation, installation, and cleanup.
Timeline & Preparation Checklist
Most single-room residential installations are completed within one day. Here is what to expect and how to prepare:
- Clear furniture away from walls or move to the center of the room
- Remove wall decorations, shelves, and outlet covers
- Ensure the room is accessible and well-lit
- Have your wallpaper delivered before the installation date (or we can coordinate delivery)
- Plan for the room to be unavailable for 24 hours after installation for curing
For multi-room projects, we provide a phased schedule so you can plan around the work.
