Residential Wallpaper Installation

Our Process

We have refined our residential installation process to ensure consistent, high-quality results while respecting your home and your time. Here is what you can expect when you choose us for your project:

1. Initial Consultation & Assessment: We evaluate the condition of your walls, discuss your chosen wallpaper material, and identify any potential challenges such as complex architectural features or existing damage.
2. Detailed Estimation: You receive a transparent, comprehensive quote outlining the scope of work, timeline, and costs, with no hidden fees.
3. Room Protection: Before any work begins, we carefully protect your floors, furniture, and fixtures with clean drop cloths and plastic sheeting.
4. Surface Preparation: This critical step involves repairing minor imperfections, sanding the walls smooth, and applying a high-quality wallpaper primer to ensure optimal adhesion and future removability.
5. Precision Installation: Our skilled installers carefully measure, cut, and apply the wallpaper, paying meticulous attention to pattern matching, plumb lines, and seamless joints.
6. Finishing Touches: We carefully trim around baseboards, crown molding, outlets, and switches for a crisp, professional finish.
7. Final Inspection & Cleanup: We conduct a thorough walkthrough with you to ensure your complete satisfaction, followed by a meticulous cleanup of the workspace.

Materials & Surfaces

The world of residential wallcoverings is vast and varied. Our team has the expertise to handle virtually any material on the market, understanding the unique requirements and adhesives needed for each:

• Traditional Paper: Classic and versatile, requiring careful handling to prevent tearing when wet.
• Solid Vinyl & Vinyl-Coated: Highly durable and washable, ideal for high-traffic areas, kitchens, and bathrooms.
• Grasscloth & Natural Fibers: Luxurious and textural, requiring specialized cutting techniques and clear adhesives to prevent staining.
• Silk & Textile Wallcoverings: Elegant and delicate, demanding the highest level of installation expertise and pristine wall preparation.
• Flock Wallpaper: Featuring a raised, velvety texture that requires careful smoothing to avoid crushing the pile.
• Foil & Metallic: Highly reflective surfaces that require perfectly smooth walls, as they will highlight any underlying imperfections.
• Custom Murals: Large-scale, multi-panel images that require precise alignment to create a cohesive picture.

Pricing Factors

We believe in transparent pricing. The cost of your residential wallpaper installation will depend on several specific factors related to your unique project:

• Room Size and Wall Height: Larger rooms and high ceilings require more time, materials, and specialized equipment like scaffolding.
• Wall Condition: Walls requiring extensive patching, smoothing, or skim-coating will increase the preparation time and overall cost.
• Wallpaper Material: Delicate materials like silk or grasscloth require more time and specialized techniques compared to standard vinyl.
• Pattern Complexity: Large pattern repeats require more careful planning, precise cutting, and often result in more material waste.
• Architectural Features: Rooms with numerous windows, doors, archways, or built-ins require more intricate cutting and fitting.
• Removal of Existing Wallpaper: If old wallpaper needs to be removed before the new installation, this will be factored into the estimate.

Timeline & Prep Checklist

To ensure a smooth and efficient installation process, we provide a clear timeline and a simple preparation checklist for homeowners:

• Clear the Room: Please remove small furniture, fragile items, electronics, and wall hangings from the room prior to our arrival.
• Provide Access: Ensure our team has clear access to the work area and a designated space to set up our pasting table and equipment.
• Climate Control: Maintain a consistent, moderate temperature in the home, as extreme heat or cold can affect the adhesive curing process.
• Pets and Children: For their safety and our efficiency, please keep pets and small children away from the active work zone.
• Timeline Expectation: A standard bedroom feature wall typically takes one day. A full room may take 1-2 days. We will provide a specific timeline for your project during the consultation.
