Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we require a 50% deposit to secure your installation date. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the project. For larger commercial projects, we can discuss customized payment schedules.

Proper wall preparation is essential for a long-lasting installation. We handle all prep work, including patching holes, sanding rough spots, applying primer, and removing old wallpaper or adhesive residue. Wall prep is included in our estimate.

While we're not interior designers, we have extensive experience with all types of wallcoverings and can advise on material suitability for your specific walls and environment. We can also recommend trusted design partners in the New York area if you need full design consultation.

We recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance for residential projects and 2–4 weeks for commercial work. During peak seasons (spring and fall), scheduling further ahead is advisable. We do our best to accommodate urgent requests when possible.

Yes. We stand behind our work with a 2-year warranty on all installations. If any seams lift, bubbles appear, or edges peel due to workmanship issues, we'll come back and fix it at no charge. This warranty covers labor only — material defects should be addressed with the manufacturer.

Pattern matching is one of the most critical aspects of wallpaper installation, and it's where our experience really shows. We carefully calculate pattern repeats, plan seam placement to minimize waste, and ensure patterns align perfectly across walls, corners, and around obstacles like windows and doors.

Absolutely. We frequently work on new construction projects throughout the New York area. New drywall requires specific preparation — including proper priming and curing time — to ensure the wallpaper adheres correctly and can be removed cleanly in the future. We coordinate directly with builders to ensure timing is right.

We assess the wall condition, repair any cracks or loose plaster, and use appropriate primers and adhesives to ensure a perfect result. Learn more about our historic home services.

Yes, we install all types of wallpaper, including peel-and-stick (self-adhesive) varieties. While peel-and-stick is marketed as a DIY product, professional installation ensures bubble-free application, perfect alignment, and a finish that looks seamless — especially on large walls or around tricky obstacles.

Yes, but material selection is important. We recommend vinyl or vinyl-coated wallpapers for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens. These materials resist humidity and are easy to clean. We'll advise you on the best options during your consultation.

We understand plans change. If you need to reschedule, please give us at least 48 hours' notice and we'll find a new date at no charge. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the scheduled installation may be subject to a cancellation fee.
