Paper Kat did a great job on the guest bathroom. The paper I selected was a busy pattern. PaperKat matched the edges extremely well and now the bathroom looks beautiful!

Katherine with Paper Kat did a phenomenal job installing the wallpaper for my new office and showroom space. I was amazed at how fast she was able to get the job done, and her attention to detail is simply amazing. She is a delightful person to talk to and I will be hiring her for any of my wallpaper installations in the future. Thanks so much!

Terrific experience! Months in advance of paper hanging, Kat offered to come to our house and measure rooms to insure our wallpaper order was accurate. She offered a very reasonable quote upfront to prime/paper and made no adjustments to it after the project ended. Kat cheerfully answered our many questions along the way, and was flexible to work around our sometimes unpredictable remodel schedule. She holds herself to high standards and has a strong work ethic: she was punctual, provided high quality service, and even added extra touches we'd never considered … the wallpaper looks fabulous! A true pleasure to have in our home for a week, we highly recommend PaperKat!

It’s not easy to find a professional paper hanger these days, so I was thrilled to find Kat on Angie’s List. I contacted her and she got right back to me. She came out and told me how much paper I would need and gave me an estimate. We picked an installation day that was convenient for us both and Kat was good about keeping in touch. She was prompt and very friendly, and it was obvious that she was an experienced professional. She did a great job and her rates are very reasonable. I am thrilled with my wallpaper and working with Kat was a great experience! If you have a wallpaper project look no further, she’s fantastic!! I’d use her again in a minute.

Kat was amazing! She was responsive through phone calls and texting. Was meticulous not only about planning the project (ensuring that the right about of wallpaper was purchased), but also about execution. After pricing out other companies, Kat was BY FAR the most reasonable in rates. My husband and I had just moved into our home when I was 8 months pregnant and needed these jobs completed quickly. Kat was timely and extremely professional while working in the house. She kept the space clean and was extremely sweet! Her work is fantastic -- she hung two types of wallpaper, both containing a very intricate design, and did a beautiful job. She even covered the outlet covers, which added an artistic touch. Her work is superb in quality and I would hire her again for sure!

Katherine was professional and meticulous. She got to work immediately and didn’t stop u til the job was completed and everything was cleaned up. The pattern was very intricate and she matched it perfectly. The room looks fabulous, we couldn’t be happier

She did really beautiful work! I was very nervous about who I hired because the paper was extremely expensive, but she installed it perfectly.

Superb work and really good value. It was a complicated pattern but Katherine hung it no time and the bathroom looks fantastic. She sized the wall and hung the paper. She is also a very pleasant person

It went great! Kat is not only great at installing wallpaper, she is a pleasure to work with! She was organized and efficient and left the space as clean as she found it. I'll be using her again and highly recommend her to other. I've never had wallpaper installed before, but I found her rate to be very reasonable.

Katherine from PaperKat was extremely punctual and professional. She was able to wallpaper an angled wall where another contractor said he couldn't do it. I am very pleased with my new bathroom. I will hire her again to hang paper in our dining room.

Kat did a great job hanging the wallpaper we selected.  She even considered placemat of the love birds so they were at or just above eye level and easy to spot/enjoy.  (Love birds show up in the design every so often.)  She did a great job at a reasonable price.  We would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others.

The installation went extremely well, Kat arrived around 10:30am and worked until the install was complete 5:00pm. She took her time with the installation of the wallpaper as it was a difficult wallpaper to install. The outcome was/is beautiful the paper still needs to dry for 24 hours however it really looks great. Kat was very professional and friendly I would highly recommend her services to any of my friends or colleagues.

Kat did a fantastic job installing our wallpaper..   Putting new wallpaper in our entry way revitalized the entire downstairs.  We found Kat to be very skilled, meticulous and friendly.   The wallpaper we choose was very difficult to hang, it is geometrical and heavy.  Kat was very diligent on the prep and installation, the end result was exceptional.  She is also a very nice person.  We will definitely use Kat again.

Kat Harley is the quintessial professional. This is the second time that she has put up wallpaper for us and we are
completely delighted with her work and work ethic. Kat first came out to assess the situation and advise us on  the number of required rolls. Then, she emailed the very affordable cost. She worked here for two days starting by priming the walls before 
hanging the paper. Her work was meticulous and carefully executed. We were also pleased by her  attention to detail and her
effort not to make a mess. Finally, Kat has a warm and engaging personality.
Without a doubt, the highest possible recommendation!

She did an unbelieveable job.  In the entrance I wanted the design to be centered on one area.  She did it, looks perfect.  I plead guilty to being a little bit of a perfectionist and Kat did a perfect job.  She is a wonderful person to have in your home as well as a superb wallpaperer.  I plan on using Kat again on a few other projects.

Kat came in the morningand was completely finished that day. She did a beautiful job and left everything clean and neat. She recommended and scheduled a painter who was also skilled and affordable. Our bathroom now looks beautiful at a reasonable cost.
