"This was my first time having wallpaper in my home and Town & Country Interiors was wonderful. They helped me figure out how much to order, responded promptly and flexibly for scheduling, and were affordable for installation. I would definitely use them again for future wallpaper projects and would recommend to anyone."

"Sebastian and Johan did a phenomenal job on my living room wallpaper project. Everything - from start to communications to finish - went very smoothly and well. I am particularly impressed by their attention to detail and their willingness to go the extra mile to do good work. The installation required some wall repair and painting the room white before hanging the wallpaper, and Sebastian and Johan handled it all with a positive attitude, enthusiasm, and professionalism. I would hire them again in an instant. The room looks fantastic!!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Michael and his assistant, Jose, did a superb job painting and wallpapering a study and bathroom. My husband said it was the best wallpapering job he'd ever seen. We used a difficult pattern and he matched it perfectly, even when we were down to our last wallpaper ends, trying to finish a spot above a door. They were prompt, worked a full 8-5 day, and were as unobtrusive as possible while working. We highly recommend him."

"I had one room completely blueboarded with new plaster and then painted. I would give that a 10. I also had a hallway ceiling replastered and painted. Also a 10. I wanted to paint the walls in the stairwell which had wallpaper. Contractor chose to remove the wallpaper and paint instead of new plaster. The walls weren't in great shape and the painters didn't smooth some bad patch work so I had some areas that don't look great. When I pointed them out and expressed unhappiness, he simply said "Bad walls." So I'd go with a 7 for the stairwell. Overall good job."

"Jay worked with me on the costs per room on the request for proposal broken down by my Must Haves, Should Haves, and Nice to haves. Of painters who gave me quotes, his was broken down correctly. After the job, the quality was great and the cost was reasonable. I have also hired his team to do my gutters and other handy work. I would highly recommend meeting and getting quotes. They do everything and extremely friendly"

"Seriously, look no further, Jimmy is your guy! Jimmy recently wallpapered our dining room, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Ill start by saying particular does not come close to describing my level of attention to detail. Our wallpaper pattern is intricate and required a plan to get it right. Jimmy took the time to discuss areas which might be of concern before getting started. For example, we have about an inch of clearance below crown molding and above the window trim. Jimmy was incredibly patient, even changing out a strip that I was focusing on. Seriously, it is perfect, I could not find a pattern issue even if I tried. Jimmy went above and beyond papering our simple white light switch covers. The compliments are pouring in! Not only was Jimmy professional, arriving on time, using his own tools and supplies, and straightening up at the end of the day, but he was very personable. He was so kind teaching me about his craft and we had great conversations about Ireland. His rates are very competitive. Of note, I had already obtained the paper before hiring Jimmy. He came to our home and completed the job in one day."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

Both paint and wallpaper can work in a bathroom, provided you choose high-quality products in either category. Washable vinyl wallpapers can stand up to bathroom humidity without peeling, as can semi-gloss or gloss paint finishes. However, if you’re someone who likes to redecorate often, paint may make it easier to change colors or designs more quickly. If you want full humidity protection and cleanability, tile or stone works better.

It’s possible to hang your own wallpaper, but the process is tedious and potentially frustrating, and it can be challenging to get seams to line up and look clean and professional. Plus, depending on the type of wallpaper you’re installing, using too much or too little adhesive could cause damage to your drywall or plaster, peeling, and bubbling in the final product. It’s usually a better idea to hire a professional wallpaper installer to do the work for you, as the relatively low cost is justifiable, if only to avoid damage to your walls.

Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it’s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You’ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.

Yes, you can apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling, but it requires significant preparation for a good result. Peel-and-stick wallpaper has a weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper and works best on smooth, non-textured surfaces like painted or primed drywall. Because wood paneling is often textured with grooves, any flaws in the underlying surface will likely be visible after application. To prepare the paneling, you must ensure the surface is free of cracks, holes, and protrusions by filling any indentations and sanding rough spots to create a smooth surface. An alternative is to remove the paneling and apply the wallpaper directly to the underlying drywall or plaster, provided it is in good condition.
