How long does professional wallpaper installation take?
A single accent wall typically takes 3–5 hours from prep to cleanup. A full standard-size room is usually one full day, while large great rooms, stair runs and ceilings can take two days. Wallpaper removal can add a half-day to a full day depending on what's already on the wall.
Do you handle wall prep, priming and patching?
Yes. Proper prep is the difference between a wallpaper job that lasts 15 years and one that lifts in 18 months. We size new drywall, prime over old paint, and skim-coat patched areas so the surface is flat enough to read the pattern, not the wall.
Can you remove old wallpaper without damaging the drywall?
Almost always — that's the standard we work to. We score, steam and use mild solvents where appropriate, then re-prime the wall. Older homes with unprimed drywall under the original paper need a more careful approach; we'll flag that during the quote.
Do you install grasscloth, silk and other delicate materials?
Yes, we install grasscloth, silk, paper-backed natural fibers, peel-and-stick murals, traditional pasted papers and Type II commercial vinyl. We adjust adhesive, prep and trim technique per material.
Do you work on commercial projects?
Yes. We've installed in offices, hospitality, healthcare and retail across the Selma, Sanger and Fresno area. We're comfortable working off-hours, around tenants and within a general contractor's schedule.
How do I get a quote? Do you charge for it?
Quotes are free. The fastest way is the contact form on this site or a call to (559) 249-1999. For most rooms, we can quote off photos plus rough measurements. Larger or commercial jobs get an in-person walkthrough.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We offer a written workmanship guarantee covering seams, lifting and pattern alignment under normal conditions. We don't warrant manufacturer defects in the wallpaper itself, but we'll help you handle a claim if one comes up.
Which cities and towns do you serve?
We're based in Selma, CA and regularly work in Clovis, Reedley, Sanger, Coalinga, Parlier, Kerman, Kingsburg, Mendota and Orange Cove. If you're in Fresno County and not on that list, ask — we likely still cover you.
Can you help me pick the right wallpaper?
Absolutely. We'll talk through room use, lighting, scale, and which materials hold up in kitchens, bathrooms and high-traffic spaces. We don't sell wallpaper, so our advice is honest and project-first.
