Common Questions About Wallpaper Installation

How much does wallpaper installation cost in New York?

Wallpaper installation costs in the New York area typically range from $3 to $9 per square foot, depending on the wallpaper material, wall condition, and project complexity. Specialty materials like grasscloth, silk, or hand-painted murals may cost more due to the additional care required during installation. We provide free, detailed quotes for both residential wallpaper installation and commercial wallpaper installation after an on-site assessment so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

How long does a typical wallpaper installation take?

A single room typically takes 4 to 8 hours, depending on size, wall condition, and the complexity of the wallpaper pattern. Larger projects involving multiple rooms or commercial spaces may take 2 to 5 days. We provide a detailed timeline estimate during your free consultation and work efficiently on projects like home wallpaper installation and office wallpaper installation to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Do you remove old wallpaper before installing new wallpaper?

Yes, we offer complete wallpaper removal services. We always recommend removing old wallpaper before installing new material to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish. Installing over existing wallpaper can lead to bubbling, peeling, and an uneven surface. Our removal process uses professional-grade steamers and solutions that are safe for your walls.

What types of wallpaper do you install?

We install all types of wallpaper including traditional paste-applied papers, pre-pasted options, peel-and-stick films, vinyl, grasscloth, silk, linen, metallic foils, hand-painted murals, and commercial-grade wall coverings. Our installers are trained in the specific techniques required for each material type, including historic home wallpaper projects, ensuring optimal results regardless of your choice.

Do you serve areas outside of New York City?

Absolutely. We serve the entire New York metropolitan area including Newark, Jersey City, Yonkers, Paterson, Elizabeth, Toms River, Clifton, New Rochelle, Passaic, and Union City, plus many surrounding communities in New Jersey and Westchester County. Contact us to confirm service availability in your specific location.

Can you install wallpaper on textured or damaged walls?

Yes. Our wall preparation process includes smoothing textured surfaces, repairing cracks and holes, and applying appropriate primers. For historic properties with aged plaster, we use specialized techniques including skim coating and mold-resistant primer application as part of our historic home wallpaper service to create a smooth, stable surface for wallpaper application.

Do you offer a warranty on your installations?

Yes, we stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If any issues arise with the installation within the warranty period, we will return to address them at no additional cost. We also provide care instructions to help you maintain your wallpaper and extend its lifespan.

How do I prepare my room before the installation?

We recommend clearing furniture away from the walls and removing any wall decorations, outlet covers, and switch plates. Our team handles all wall preparation, priming, and cleanup as part of the installation service. If old material is present, we can also include wallpaper removal before installation. We protect your floors and remaining furniture with drop cloths during the work.
