"Sarah and her apprentice did a fantastic job installing our wallpaper. They were professional, friendly, personable, and very detail-oriented from start to finish. We had a very specific wallpaper that required expert installation, and they handled it beautifully. The pattern alignment and overall finish came out excellent, and you can tell they take real pride in their work. We would highly recommend Sarah and her apprentice to anyone looking for high-quality wallpaper installation. Five stars!"

"James bailed us out and provided expert service. We had multiple contractors cancel on us last minute, but James was understanding of the challenges our space came with. He installed our custom wallpaper in one day, and stayed a bit longer than planned to also apply a layer of sealant to protect the wallpaper. We will definitely be having James back if we have any further wallpaper needs and highly recommend him to anyone else who needs this service."

"I was impressed with his demeanor and would have had him to do all my wallpapering, however, I have a problem finding businesses that carries wallpaper now. However, if I do find the wallpaper I want, I certainly will call him for the job. I gave a 5 as I know that he would have done an excellent job as he also make suggestions of items to take care of while doing the wallpaper job."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

No, you don’t need to apply paint primer to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn’t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won’t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.

Darker walls may make tight bathrooms appear even smaller, but one dark accent wall can really make a bathroom pop. Wallpaper with a dark background can add intrigue and sophistication. Still, if you’re looking to open the room up and give it a modern, airy feeling, light colors may work best for your needs. Although there are some popular and unpopular opinions, there’s really no “should” when it comes to personal design choice. 

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.

You should be aware of the current wallpaper and interior trends before hanging it, especially if you are planning on selling or listing your home soon. Do people in your market tend to prefer bold designs and accent walls, or does having a simpler print all over seem like a better idea? Lastly, you want something that appeals to your aesthetic preferences; hanging wallpaper is an investment of your time and money after all.
