The Lost Art of Paperhanging 

There has been a strong trend in recent years away from paper wallcoverings toward painted faux finishes. But lately, I am starting to see more requests for wallpaper. Wallpaper comes in all sizes, textures and finishes. Because it is expensive, a paperhanger needs to be experienced and precise to avoid wasting paper. A top quality wallpaper installation results in a smooth, seamless wall and good adhesion. It starts with a properly prepared wall and takes the structure of each room into account. Walls that are out of plumb become more noticeable when wallpapered and pattern matching becomes crucial. From small bathrooms, accent walls, decorative borders to entire rooms, wallpaper can provide instant drama. As a bonus, it can mask minor imperfections in plaster and drywall. Once you've chosen the perfect paper, give me a call for a free quote.

Wallpaper Removal 

Removing wallpaper is not for the faint hearted. You never know what you're going to find under there. If the walls were not properly prepared before the paper was applied, the wallpaper glue will have absorbed into the wall, and removing it might pull off some of the top layers of the wallboard. To avoid the chore of removing wallpaper, previous owners may have painted over it. This makes the job of removing the paper even more tedious and time consuming. If the thought of spending your entire weekend stripping wallpaper does not appeal to you, call me for a free quote.
