Everything you need to know before we start your project — materials, pricing, prep, and what to expect on installation day.
We install most types of wallpaper, including non-pasted, pre-pasted, peel and stick, vinyl, non-woven, fabric, grasscloth, and other wallcoverings. Before starting the project, we ask you to send us a link to the wallpaper or a photo of the label so we can check the material, roll width, roll length, and any specific installation requirements.
Yes, we install peel and stick wallpaper. However, it is important to understand that the quality of this type of wallpaper depends heavily on the manufacturer. Some brands have weak adhesive, and the wallpaper may start peeling after a few days or weeks. We are responsible for the quality of the installation, but we cannot guarantee the quality of the factory adhesive.
For a long-lasting result, we usually recommend non-pasted or paste-the-wall wallpaper installed with professional wallpaper adhesive. Peel and stick wallpaper can be a good option for temporary solutions, rental homes, or small accent walls, but it is not always as reliable as traditional wallpaper.
In most cases, wallpaper should be installed on smooth walls. On textured walls, bumps and uneven areas may show through, and peel and stick wallpaper may not adhere properly. If the wall has a heavy texture, additional surface preparation may be needed.
Yes, in most cases primer is recommended. Primer helps the adhesive work properly, improves adhesion to the surface, and makes wallpaper removal easier in the future. This is especially important for new walls, repaired walls, or walls with poor-quality paint.
Yes. Please clear the work area, move furniture away from the walls, and remove decor, shelves, and small items. If possible, it is also best to remove mirrors, towel bars, fixtures, and anything else that may get in the way of a clean installation.
No. We will take care of that ourselves.
The time depends on the size of the space, type of wallpaper, number of corners, doors, windows, outlets, and the complexity of the pattern. A simple accent wall may take a few hours. A powder room or small bathroom often takes most of the day because there are many corners, fixtures, and small detailed areas.
A powder room may look small, but the installation is often more complicated than a regular accent wall. These spaces usually have many inside and outside corners, a sink, toilet, mirror, light fixtures, towel bars, and other obstacles. That is why pricing depends not only on square footage, but also on the complexity of the work.
The price depends on the type of room, wall size, pattern complexity, number of corners, windows, doors, outlets, and the condition of the wall surface. For an accurate estimate, we need photos of the space, wall measurements, and a link to the wallpaper you selected.
Yes, in most cases we can provide a preliminary estimate based on photos or video. It is best to send photos of all walls, a full view of the room, wall measurements, and a link to the wallpaper. For more complex projects, an on-site estimate may be needed.
Please send:
Yes. Our wallpaper roll calculation service is $50 for a remote calculation and $100 for an on-site calculation. You can also calculate the number of rolls yourself using online calculators. We always recommend ordering a little extra material because being short even one roll can stop the entire project.
Pattern repeat is the distance before the wallpaper design repeats itself. If the pattern is large, extra material is needed to match the design from strip to strip. Because of this, you may need more wallpaper than a basic square footage calculation suggests.
Sometimes it is possible, but it is not always recommended. It depends on the condition of the existing wallpaper, how well it is attached to the wall, its texture, and the type of new wallpaper. In most cases, the best result comes from removing the old wallpaper and properly preparing the wall.
Yes, old wallpaper removal is available, but it is a separate service. The time and cost depend on the type of existing wallpaper, the number of layers, and the condition of the wall after removal.
Before wallpaper installation, walls should be smooth, clean, and dry. Holes, cracks, peeling paint, old adhesive, and uneven areas can affect the final result. If needed, the wall should be repaired, patched, sanded, and primed before installation.
Yes, wallpaper can be installed in a bathroom if the room has good ventilation and the wallpaper is suitable for that type of space. It is important to understand that high humidity can affect some types of wallpaper, especially peel and stick.
No, we do not provide wallpaper installation on ceilings.
Yes, but these areas usually take more time. If items can be removed or moved away from the wall, the result will be cleaner. If access is limited, the installation may be more difficult and take longer.
For the cleanest result, it is best to remove anything that gets in the way of the installation. In some cases, we can carefully work around these items, but it usually does not look as clean as installing the wallpaper underneath removed fixtures.
If the issue is related to the installation, we can check it and fix the problem. However, if the wallpaper is peeling because of weak factory adhesive, poor material quality, humidity, wall texture, or poor-quality paint on the wall, that depends on the material and the surface.
We guarantee a clean and professional installation. However, we cannot guarantee the quality of the wallpaper itself, the factory adhesive on peel and stick wallpaper, how the wall paint will react, or hidden surface issues.
Usually, clients purchase the wallpaper themselves. We can help with advice, roll calculations, and recommendations on the type of material, but purchasing the wallpaper is the client's responsibility.
For a reliable and long-lasting result, we usually recommend high-quality non-pasted or paste-the-wall wallpaper installed with professional wallpaper adhesive. These options usually give a better result than cheap peel and stick or pre-pasted wallpaper.
Seams can be visible because of the wallpaper quality, material thickness, dark wall color underneath, uneven walls, printing issues, or the design itself. We install wallpaper as carefully as possible, but some materials naturally have more visible seams than others.
Yes, accent walls are one of the most popular options. They are a great way to quickly change the look of a room without remodeling the entire space.
Yes, we work with expensive and designer wallpaper. Before installation, we carefully check the material, pattern, direction, repeat, and manufacturer's instructions.
Please send us photos of the space, wall measurements, and a link to the wallpaper. After that, we can provide a preliminary estimate and offer the earliest available time for installation.
Free estimate. Same-day service available in Charlotte and surrounding areas.
