How much does wallpaper installation cost in the San Francisco Bay Area?

What types of wallpaper do you install?

We install all types of wallcoverings, including traditional paper-backed vinyl, non-woven wallpaper, grasscloth, silk, fabric-backed vinyl, peel-and-stick, commercial Type II vinyl, and custom-printed murals. Our team has experience with both residential and commercial-grade materials designed for high-traffic environments.

How long does wallpaper installation take?

A typical single-room installation takes one to two days, depending on wall preparation needs and pattern complexity. Larger projects, such as full-home or commercial installations, may take several days to a week. We provide a detailed timeline during your initial consultation so you can plan accordingly.

Do you remove old wallpaper before installing new wallpaper?

Yes, we offer complete wallpaper removal services. Removing old wallpaper is essential for achieving a smooth, long-lasting result. Our team uses steam stripping and eco-friendly chemical solutions to safely remove existing wallcoverings without damaging the underlying drywall or plaster.

Can you install wallpaper on textured walls?

Yes, but textured walls typically require additional preparation. We can skim-coat or sand textured surfaces to create a smooth foundation for wallpaper adhesion. This is especially common in historic homes with plaster walls or older drywall with orange-peel or knockdown textures.

What areas do you serve in the Bay Area?

We serve communities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including Oakland, Fremont, Hayward, Concord, Berkeley, Antioch, Richmond, Daly City, San Mateo, and San Leandro. Visit our service areas page for more details.

Do I need to prepare my walls before wallpaper installation?

We handle all wall preparation as part of our service. This includes cleaning, priming, filling holes or cracks, and smoothing imperfections. Proper preparation is critical for wallpaper longevity, and our team ensures every surface is ready before installation begins.

How do I choose the right wallpaper for my space?

Choosing the right wallpaper depends on the room's function, lighting, existing decor, and your personal style. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms, we recommend vinyl or non-woven options. For living rooms and bedrooms, the full range of materials is available. Our team can provide guidance during your free consultation.

Is wallpaper installation messy or disruptive?

Professional wallpaper installation is a relatively clean process. We protect your floors and furniture with drop cloths, and our adhesive application methods minimize mess. For commercial projects, we can schedule work during off-hours to avoid disrupting your business operations.
