Wallpaper is having a moment.

Every job is quoted individually because rooms vary so much — a small powder room and a stairwell with a large-repeat paper are completely different projects. Labor is typically the largest line item and is priced by complexity, not by the hour. The paper itself is a separate cost that depends entirely on what you choose (rolls run from around $80 to $400 and up). Most straightforward powder rooms are quoted within a day of reaching out.

You buy the paper — it’s your budget and your choice. We’ll help you find options, calculate exactly how many rolls you need (accounting for pattern repeat and waste), and tell you where to order. Once it arrives, we handle everything from there. If you’ve already found a paper you love, we’re happy to work with that too.

Most rooms take a single day. A simple powder room can be done in a few hours; a large dining room or a room with a ceiling typically takes a full day. More complex projects — stairwells, bookcases, multiple rooms — may take two days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we quote the job, so you can plan accordingly.

Yes, we can remove existing wallpaper and prep the walls before hanging new paper. Removal is quoted separately since the condition of what’s underneath is hard to predict until we start. Older paper or walls in rough shape may need additional skim-coating or priming, which we’ll flag before the project begins. We’ll never paper over a wall we’re not confident in.

Yes. Peel-and-stick has come a long way and can look great when hung correctly — the key is proper wall prep and careful seam alignment. It’s a good option for rentals or spaces where you want flexibility. That said, for permanent rooms we usually recommend traditional paste-the-wall paper for a cleaner, longer-lasting result. Happy to talk through the tradeoffs for your specific project.

It depends on the texture. Light orange-peel or skip-trowel textures can sometimes work with thicker papers and the right adhesive. Heavy knockdown or popcorn texture will show through most wallpaper and really should be skim-coated first for a professional result. We’ll assess your walls during the initial visit and give you an honest answer — we’d rather tell you upfront than hang paper that won’t look right.

Two to four weeks ahead is usually comfortable for most projects. That said, the bigger constraint is often paper lead time — once you place your order, most paper ships in 7 to 14 days, and some specialty or imported papers take longer. If you have a deadline (a party, a move-in date), reach out as soon as you know so we can work backward from it. We’ll always tell you if something isn’t realistic.

Absolutely. If you’ve already purchased paper, send us the product details and we’ll confirm it’s a good fit for the space before we schedule. A few things we’ll want to know: the total number of rolls, the pattern repeat, and whether it’s paste-the-wall, pre-pasted, or peel-and-stick. If you’re not sure you bought enough, we’d rather flag it now than run short mid-room.
