Steven Romanelli recently installed grasscloth wallpaper in my apartment. This is a particularly difficult wall covering to do and it was done expertly. Mr. Romanelli is a perfectionist and excellent craftsperson. He was punctual, pleasant in his manner and a true professional in his craft.
Response from Steve Romanelli Wallcovering

"What a pleasant surprise. Thank you for your generosity. The customer picked grass paper from Thibaut - pronounced (tee - bow) one of the oldest and finest wallpaper companies in the USA."

The experience with Steve was great, from beginning to end. He first asked me several questions about the job, the wallpaper, the building, the wall, etc. to make sure he was prepared for the job. He showed up on time, did everything we asked for and did a great job putting up the wallpaper. He also completed the job exactly when he said he would. Best of all, Romanelli Wallcovering also had some of the most competitive pricing.

Steve is very precise and methodical and took considerable care to do a great job. He is an expert at his craft and sets his standards very high. I thought his price was on the low side considering all that he did. Steve even painted areas where replaced light fixtures left large circles on the ceiling-- and that was not specified as a part of the original job. When hiring Steve, don't expect a quick job but expect an excellent one. Be sure to budget enough time for him to give you his exemplary work product.
Response from Steve Romanelli Wallcovering

"Thank you for your review. The "old" wallpaper that was stored for 20+ years ago came out looking great. Your work had a lot of plaster fixing - more then a few areas where the builder did not use drywall tape on the seam between two sheets of drywall. I corrected what was never valid from the day it was built to something acceptable/ not noticeable and will last decades. Yes - do not expect a quick job. I will get the work done within the time frame that it is supposed to be done - sometimes right to the last hour."

Steve Romanelli wallpapered an accent wall in our Brooklyn apartment, first prepping it with liner paper. The paper we used was custom-ordered and expensive and the walls in our building are old and uneven, so we worried it'd be hard to get right. We could not have been in better hands. Steve is incredibly detail-oriented, conscientious and transparent about his fees, methods, and every aspect of the work. We couldn't be happier with the meticulous end result.

We get so many compliments on our wallpaper. The other day, my husband and a guest were walking around the dining room for a couple minutes trying to find the seams. They eventually noticed a couple and then marveled at how perfectly connected the pattern was. Steve also did such a good job on the chair rail that it looks as though it's always been there. Steve is a perfectionist and was at our house more days than he'd expected to be because he wanted the job to look great despite the peculiarities of the walls and windows. (Our house was built in 1925.) If your priority is that someone will finish the job quickly, he might not be the wallpaper hanger for you, but if you want a job that will look perfect for years, it would be hard to find someone better.

My main compliance is professionalism...(I cannot comment on other aspect as we did even met each other). If you think my job is disorganized, and you can't understand it, why not take more time communicate with your customer and try to understand the nature of the job? Also, How can you say the job is disorganized when we haven't even met? We don't plan to start the job until Oct (we plan to give a month time to have everything ready before the job starts...) . Granted there maybe moving pieces as we go along the process, but it is shocking to me that Steve can easily turn down a customer and I need to start search for another company to fit my renovation schedule. It is understandable if you don't want to come out Saturday on Labor Day Weekends, maybe make the decision a little earlier than 10pm the night before?

Steve was a consummate professional through the entire job--excellent communication, punctuality, and above all--craftsmanship. I had an unmistakable sense of his dedication to his craft. We love the final product, but more to the point--Steve helped realize what we envisioned for our new home with great care.
Response from Steve Romanelli Wallcovering

"Wow that is one sweet review - thank you. "dedication to his craft"- yes that is true and "love the final product" thanks to "Hygee and West" - fun wallpapers designs by artists/ some from NYC."

It didn't - he never got back to me one way or another.

Response from Steve Romanelli Wallcovering

"It took awhile to get to the customers home. I did speak with her on the phone about a week before the visit. She mentioned on the phone that she did not see it going past $1000.00 to do the work. When I got there I did sample her paper in the bath to determine the best way to remove it. The bath was medium size/ full walls and wrap paper in to and above a window and a door. After figuring a rough estimate it appeared to be ten single rolls and the removal for the wallpaper. Not a small foyer: this hall was past her dining room and was the connecting hall to all the other living areas/ bedrooms etc. The hall was about 25' feet long in two sections and with seven doors to paint. Paint walls/ all ceilings/ all trim/ doors and frames. Add remove the wallpaper/ patch walls/ primer and put up new wallpaper. I told her this way more then $1000.00 and would take multiple days for two workers. I told her right at the time of the visit as nice as I could that she could not afford my services."

Steve answered all of my emails, questions and concerns. He was able to provide an estimate through email which was incredibly convininent, and was able to come that same week to complete the job. Steve did an excellent job with the wall paper mural and took additional time to explain the process of removal without damaging my wall for when I decide to remove it. I was completely satisfied with his work and I will most definitely keep his number for future projects. I already shared his information with a friend! Thanks Steve.

Steve arrived on time and worked diligently throughout the day. Our walls were a bit bumpy with an uneven ceiling but he did an amazing job. We are so happy and would definitely use him again.

The wall paper job that Steve did for us is absolutely perfect.  The wall paper I chose is textured, with a busy pattern, and my ceilings are high.  So although the conditions were somewhat difficult, Steve did an amazing job, and finished in one (long) day of about 9 a.m. to 6:30 pm.  Its not even possible to see a seam where the different pieces of paper meet.  I would absolutely recommend Steve.

Steve replied to our message within hours and offered to set up an appointment the next day, Sunday. He made sure to clarify details at every interaction. He gave us a written (PDF) quote up front detailing price, tools used, and services rendered. He brought his own drop cloths and work table. He set our expectations clearly, due to the slightly uneven nature of the wall and offered as many options as he could to make sure it came out looking good. In the end, we were impressed with the quality of the work and very happy with our new mural. He left the work space clean and clear. If we decide to wallpaper anything else we will definitely call Steve.

"Yes this man did contact me about a small job - one wall in a bedroom. In his message he said "I would like to get this installation done asap" his words/ exact quote. I am going to list two factual pieces of information that you can see right here on this page. 1. He posted his "review" on April 16, 2015. 2. Work was completed: April 14, 2015 This man contacted me ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY SEVEN DAYS AGO - caps lock - before his "review". He wrote to me way back on July 30, 2014. WELL EXCUSE ME! Apparently it took 195 days to get that wall all finished up. Hope it looks good. I always call or email everyone that contacts me with reasonable offers for new work except: A robot. False. Misleading. Cruel. A few other things (trade secrets let us say) that can not be listed here. In his message he listed his number with a "718-" local area code. I checked my phone logs on two phones. One was clear - I did not call on that phone. The other only lists 150 days on the phone and 90 days on my account online. I emailed the phone company for records and I got this truly ridiculous email back from silly sell ya' a phony phone corporation: "Hello Steve, Thank you for contacting us through BLAHblahsoblah.com. I'll be happy to assist you with your concern about phone records .You can check the record online at BLAHblahsoblah.com ,we only have the same information on the system that is available on the website and we don't have a ways to send you a copy of it through your e-mail. If you will need that information for legal purposes, You can ask lawyer to get a subpoena about the request and we will connect them over to our Corporate security who handles legal matters. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reply back to this message or you can give us a call at and we'll be happy to help you out. Thank you for being a valued BLAHblahsoblah.com customer. Louie D." Everything except the name and missing number is exactly cut and paste from the BLAHblahsoblah.com email. Two odd things about this: 1. Subpoena? Subpoena yourself Louie D. 2. By admitting that getting a lawyer to subpoena yourself (ridiculous) that of course the phone call records exist - my phone records - back to the first call made/ received. BLAHblah.com corporation does not want to spend a penny more then they need unless THE LAW tells BLAHblahsoblah.com to act lawfully. What a joke some corporations have become. I am not sure if I telephoned the man who wrote the "review" but I am going with it is possible. BLAHblahsoblah.com not real. http://www.blahblah.com for real url. Funny url. Most websites used to look like blahblah.com back in the last century."

The job was done to perfection.  From the moment I hired Steven, he began researching the company I purchased the wall paper from, and finding out what the job required.  He came with everything he needed, and took special care to cover any furniture in the vicinity of his work.  He proceeded to paint my wall a dark brown so it would match the paper.  I had no idea this was needed, but he clearly knew what he was doing.  By the time the job was done, I was ecstatic.  It looked so beautiful and flawless.  Steven had been worried that I hadn't ordered enough paper, but he managed to make it stretch.  It was magical.  You would be foolish to hire anyone else.  He cares deeply about his work, and will not be happy unless it's done right.  This is the only man I would use for wallpapering in the future.

Overall experience was positive and it went very well. I made the request for service on a Friday, and was looking for someone to come that weekend (as my previous arrangements fell through at the last minute). Steve was very responsive and was able to fit me in that Sunday. He was punctual and did a great job--the wall looks great.

Steve is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, punctual and transparent: We had to push back the installation date because he needed to finish another project he had committed to earlier. He was completely honest in sharing the end of date of the other project, giving me a fair estimate when he could start, which I completely appreciated. He worked quickly, efficiently and the result is utter perfection. I could not be more pleased with the results!
