Our Installation Process

Every residential project follows a proven step-by-step approach that ensures consistent, high-quality results regardless of room size or wallpaper type.

1. Initial Consultation: We visit your home, assess wall conditions, discuss your design preferences, and take precise measurements.
2. Material Planning: Based on measurements and pattern repeat, we calculate exact material quantities to minimize waste.
3. Wall Preparation: We clean, repair, sand, and prime your walls to create the ideal bonding surface for your chosen wallpaper.
4. Cutting and Layout: Each strip is cut with careful attention to pattern alignment, accounting for ceiling height variations.
5. Installation: Using professional-grade adhesives and tools, we apply each panel with precision, ensuring bubble-free adhesion.
6. Detail Work: We carefully trim around outlets, switches, windows, and architectural features for a clean, finished look.
7. Final Inspection: A thorough walkthrough with you to confirm every seam, corner, and edge meets our quality standards.

Materials and Surfaces We Work With

Our installers are experienced with every wallpaper type and wall surface found in residential properties throughout the Philadelphia area.

• Vinyl wallpaper (solid vinyl, vinyl-coated, fabric-backed)
• Non-woven wallpaper
• Grasscloth and natural fiber wallcoverings
• Silk and textile wallpapers
• Peel-and-stick removable wallpaper

We install on drywall, plaster, painted surfaces, lightly textured walls, and previously wallpapered surfaces (after proper preparation).

Feature Walls and Pattern Matching

A single accent wall can completely redefine a room's character. Our team specializes in creating stunning feature walls that serve as focal points in living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and entryways. We pay particular attention to pattern matching, ensuring that large-scale designs flow seamlessly across multiple panels without visible breaks or misalignment.

For complex patterns with large repeats, we plan the layout so that the most prominent design elements are centered on the wall, creating a balanced and intentional appearance. This level of detail separates professional installation from DIY attempts.

The cost of residential wallpaper installation depends on several variables specific to your project. We provide transparent, itemized quotes so you understand exactly what you're paying for.
