"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!!"

"Marcio's team was outstanding. Needed a ceiling replaced to cover water damage, and older tile blocks, and entire apartment wallpaper removal. Marcio did outstanding work at a competitive price. They were in and out in a single day plus a few hours. Great cleanup and care was taken. Arrived at 7AM to start work. Showed up when promised. I highly recommend Marcio and Master Plastering & Services. I'm looking at additional work for this team. Thank you!"

"Jay's men arrived on time every day, were extremely polite and professional, and did a fantastic job. My walls were not in good shape and they repaired and prepped them so well they now look like New. I am very pleased with the job they did and believe the price charged was reasonable. I would definitely use this company again."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Having dated, peeling, or otherwise damaged wallpaper can decrease the value of your property, so removing that before listing your house is nearly always a good idea; however, since wallpaper tends to be a personal style choice, potential buyers may or may not love your aesthetic as much as you do.

Love the look of wallpaper but want to consider property value as well? Stick with something that is easy to change. If you are thinking of selling soon, make sure your wallpaper hanging is on-point and looks professional with no crooked seams, evenly matched patterns, and minimal bubbling or other imperfections.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

Textured or patterned vinyl wallpaper designs are the best option for hiding imperfections. Embossed designs or faux finishes like brick, wood, or linen textures are especially effective at camouflaging dents, cracks, or uneven surfaces. Avoid smooth, shiny finishes, as they can highlight flaws rather than conceal them. 

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.
