How We Work

A measured, transparent process

Our installation methodology has been refined over twelve years of practice across the Twin Cities. Every project follows a deliberate sequence designed to protect your home or business while delivering a finish that endures.

01

Site Visit & Measurement

We arrive on time, measure every wall to the eighth-inch, and discuss surface conditions, lighting, and pattern direction with you in person.

02

Wallcovering Selection

If desired, we guide you through reputable mills and brands, advising on durability, light-fastness, and pattern repeat to suit your space and budget.

03

Surface Preparation

We skim coat, sand, and prime the substrate so the finished wallcovering reads flat and seams disappear under raking light.

04

Precision Installation

Hand-trimmed edges, double-cut seams, and meticulous pattern matching turn raw rolls into a finished, museum-grade surface.

05

Walk-Through & Care

We complete a final review with you, leave the site cleaner than we found it, and provide written care guidance for the chosen material.

Common Questions

Quick answers before we talk

A few of the questions we hear most often. For more detail, visit our full FAQ page.

How much does professional wallpaper installation cost in Minneapolis?

Pricing depends on substrate condition, material complexity, and ceiling height. Most residential single-room projects fall between $600 and $2,400 for installation only, exclusive of the wallpaper itself. Request a free, no-obligation quote after a site visit, or learn more about our service options.

Do my walls need to be prepared before installation?

Almost always, yes. Smooth, sealed, primed walls are essential for a flawless finish. We typically skim coat textured walls, patch any imperfections, sand to a Level 5 finish, and apply a wallcovering primer before hanging a single drop. Historic homes often require specialized plaster stabilization and surface preparation techniques.

How long will the installation take?

A standard accent wall takes 4 to 6 hours. A full bedroom or dining room generally requires 1 to 2 days, including prep. Commercial projects are scoped individually and can run several days to weeks depending on scale. Contact us for a detailed timeline estimate.

Can you remove old wallpaper before installing new?

Yes. Our wallpaper removal service uses commercial-grade steamers and enzymatic strippers that remove old papers and adhesives without damaging the underlying drywall, then prep the surface for the new installation in the same visit.

Yes! We serve the entire Twin Cities metro: St. Paul, Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Woodbury, Coon Rapids, and as far north as St. Cloud. Check our complete list of service areas to see if we reach your location.
