Common questions

Wallpaper installation FAQ

Do you install wallpaper that I already purchased?

Yes. We can install customer-supplied wallpaper after discussing its material, pattern repeat, condition and the room where it will be installed. Bringing the product early into the planning conversation helps us prepare the wall and layout correctly.

How should I prepare a room before wallpaper installation?

Please remove fragile décor and provide reasonable access to the walls. We will discuss furniture, wall prep, old wallpaper and any room-specific needs before the installation date. See our wallpaper removal service when an existing covering is involved.

Can wallpaper be installed over textured walls?

Some light textures may be suitable after the right preparation, but a wallcovering should not be expected to hide a pronounced texture or damage. We assess the existing surface and recommend smoothing, lining or priming when those steps support the material.

How long does wallpaper installation take?

Timing depends on the room, surface preparation, pattern complexity, material and access. A single accent wall differs substantially from a multi-room project or commercial installation. We provide a realistic sequence after the project details are reviewed.

Do you remove existing wallpaper?

Yes. We offer careful wallpaper removal and wall preparation so the next finish begins on a clean, sound surface. Our removal approach is focused on protecting drywall and identifying repairs that should be handled before installation.

Can you work in historic homes?

Yes. Historic homes, especially in St. Paul, often benefit from a preservation-minded plan for plaster, older trim and detailed rooms. We inspect surfaces and talk through the preparation before committing to the installation sequence.

Do you install commercial vinyl wallcoverings?

Yes. Commercial vinyl is one of the materials we plan for offices, high-traffic areas and other commercial environments. The project discussion includes wall conditions, scheduling, durability needs and the layout around brand or architectural elements.

Which Twin Cities areas do you serve?

We serve Minneapolis, St. Paul, Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, Maple Grove, St. Cloud, Woodbury, Eagan and Eden Prairie. Visit our service areas hub for location-specific wallpaper installation information.
