Our Residential Installation Process

Materials and Surfaces We Work With

Our residential installers are experienced with every major wallpaper type available on the market today:

• Non-woven (fleece-backed) — The most popular choice for residential projects; paste-the-wall application makes installation efficient and repositionable.
• Pre-pasted paper — Activated with water, ideal for DIY-friendly patterns, though professional installation ensures a superior finish.
• Vinyl wallpaper — Durable and moisture-resistant, perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-humidity areas.
• Grasscloth — Natural woven fibers that add rich texture and warmth to living rooms and dining areas.
• Textile and silk — Luxurious materials that create an elegant, upscale look for bedrooms and formal spaces.
• Custom murals — Large-format printed designs that turn an entire wall into a statement piece.

We install on drywall, plaster, painted surfaces, and even previously wallpapered walls (after proper removal and prep).

Feature Walls and Pattern Matching

One of the most popular residential requests we receive is the feature wall — a single accent wall designed to serve as the focal point of a room. Feature walls allow homeowners to experiment with bold patterns, rich textures, or dramatic colors without committing to an entire room. Our installers specialize in creating feature walls that look intentional and polished, with perfectly aligned patterns that draw the eye exactly where you want it.

Pattern matching is where professional installation truly makes a difference. Whether you have chosen a large-scale floral, a geometric repeat, or a subtle stripe, our team ensures that every strip aligns precisely with the next. We calculate pattern repeats before cutting, minimizing waste and guaranteeing a seamless visual flow across the wall.

Aftercare for Kitchens and Bathrooms

Wallpaper in moisture-prone rooms requires special attention both during and after installation. For kitchens and bathrooms, we recommend vinyl or vinyl-coated wallpapers that resist humidity and are easy to wipe clean. We apply moisture-resistant primers before installation and ensure all edges are sealed properly to prevent peeling.

After installation, we advise homeowners to allow 48 hours for the adhesive to cure fully before exposing the wallpaper to steam or moisture. Regular maintenance is simple: wipe down with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. With proper care, kitchen and bathroom wallpaper installed by our team will look fresh for years.

Pricing Factors for Residential Wallpaper Installation

The cost of residential wallpaper installation depends on several factors. We do not publish fixed prices because every project is unique, but here are the main variables that affect your estimate:

• Room size and wall height — Larger rooms and taller walls require more material and labor time.
• Wall condition — Walls that need extensive repair, skim-coating, or old wallpaper removal add preparation time.
• Wallpaper type — Specialty materials like grasscloth, silk, or custom murals require more careful handling.
• Pattern complexity — Large pattern repeats generate more waste and require more precise alignment.
• Number of obstacles — Rooms with many windows, doors, outlets, and architectural details take longer to complete.

We provide free, detailed estimates with no hidden fees. Contact us to schedule your consultation.

Timeline and Preparation Checklist

Most single-room residential installations are completed in one to two days. Here is how to prepare your space for our arrival:

• Remove wall art, mirrors, curtain rods, and decorative items from the walls
• Move small furniture out of the room; slide larger pieces at least three feet from the walls
• Clear the floor area along the walls being wallpapered
• Ensure the room has adequate ventilation and lighting
• If possible, keep the room temperature between 65°F and 75°F for optimal adhesive performance

Our team handles all wall preparation, protection of your flooring and remaining furniture, and complete cleanup after the job is done.
