Frequently Asked Questions

All the time — interior designers and custom home builders are the core of our business. We handle designer wallpaper and specialty materials with the care their projects demand, and we're comfortable working directly with your client or your team. Designer trade inquiries welcome.

Yes — natural fibers are our specialty. We install grasscloth, silk, cork, bamboo, hemp, abaca, and other specialty wallcoverings that most installers won't touch. Every install gets meticulous surface preparation, premium adhesives, and master-level pattern matching.

Yes. Silk is one of the delicate specialty materials we install regularly, along with grasscloth and other natural fibers. Silk demands flawless surface prep and clean handling — it's exactly the kind of work we built our reputation on.

We serve Austin and the Texas Hill Country, including Westlake, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Spicewood, Dripping Springs, Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, Georgetown, Pflugerville, and Tarrytown.

That will depend on a few things. 1) Dimensions of the space desiring wallpaper. 2) The wallpaper selection itself. This is because there aren’t standards of width or length with wallpaper rolls. Some are sold in single rolls. Some double or even triple rolls. And those aren’t standardized, either. Some rolls are sold in 5-yard increments, 8, 9, 10, 11 yards, or even longer. Some common widths are 17-inches, 20.5”, 21”, 24”, 27,” 36”. Then, finally, there is 3) the factor of the pattern. Horizontal and vertical repeats vary on just about every paper. This is why it is important to know the wallpaper selection before indicating how much must be ordered.

There are so many types of wallpaper that this answer could go on for hours, but what we mainly install in residential homes is traditional, non-pasted wallpaper on a non-woven backing. It’s classic, timeless, and importantly breathable. Non-woven wallpapers will last for 10-15 years, and sometimes much longer.

We install many naturals such as silk, bamboo, cork, hemp, grasscloth, etc. They have a beautiful and distinct look!

As a reminder, we do not install peel-and-stick products. They are not wallpaper!

Shop with us and we can help you save 10-15% off of retail pricing! There aren’t many retail shops anymore throughout the United States, and that includes Central Texas. If you are working with an interior decorator, they can help you navigate designing your space. We also are trade members with many wallpaper manufacturers and can help with purchasing. We can likely save you money on the purchase of materials.

Depending on the project, we will charge by the square foot or roll. We're third-generation wallcovering installers — a family craft since the 1960s — and many call us because they know we are the best. We are not the cheapest wallpaper installation company, but we deliver on quality and efficiency, and we desire to create the friendliest and most professional experience a client can have!

That depends on the current condition of the wallpaper. Preserving damaged wallpaper is an art. Our focus is to prevent future damage by incorporating a dead-matte varnish to protect the wallpaper.

That can vary greatly. Some installations are a half day. Some projects will take a full day or even a week or more. Some jobs have multiple rooms and spaces, and the degree of difficulty and artistry needed on some papers can take a significant amount of time.

We proudly use Roman Products’ adhesives. They are superior and used on even the most premium papers. All of the adhesives we use are USDA® Certified BioBased Products.

A good rule of thumb is to move furniture and articles at least six feet from the walls. One of the things that separates the professionals from amateurs is a pasting and booking table. We will also require a 10’ x 15’ space for staging and booking the wallpaper.

Our two-year workmanship guarantee covers defects related to the installation of your wallcovering. If an installation-related issue arises within two years of completion, we will inspect the concern and, if determined to be workmanship-related, correct it at no additional labor cost.

This guarantee applies to installation workmanship only and does not cover manufacturer product defects, material failure, moisture or humidity conditions, building movement, improper surface preparation performed by others, or normal wear and tear.
