Frequently Asked Questions

How long does wallpaper installation take?

Most single-room installations take 1-2 days depending on wall condition, pattern complexity, and room size. Larger projects or rooms requiring extensive prep work may take 3-5 days. We always provide a timeline estimate before starting work so you can plan accordingly. For commercial projects, we can schedule work during off-hours to minimize disruption.

Do you remove old wallpaper before installing new?

Yes, we offer complete wallpaper removal services. Old wallpaper must be fully removed and walls properly prepared before new installation to ensure adhesion and a smooth finish. Our removal process protects your drywall and leaves surfaces ready for fresh wallpaper or paint.

What types of wallpaper do you install?

We install all types including vinyl, non-woven, pre-pasted, grasscloth, silk, fabric-backed, custom-printed murals, and specialty textured wallcoverings for both residential and commercial settings. Our team has experience with every major wallpaper brand and material type available today.

Do I need to prepare my walls before you arrive?
