Grasscloth, murals, specialty papers, and traditional wallcoverings installed over careful wall prep — glue removal, patching, skim coat where needed, primer/sealer, clean seams, and careful pattern matching. Tyler on every job. Serving Temecula Valley and the Coachella Valley.

A professional wallpaper installer prepares the wall before anything goes up — glue removal, patching, skim coat where needed, and the right primer or sealer — then hangs the paper with matched repeats, tight seams, and panels aligned across corners and outlets. That last part is what a 6,000-square-foot mural like the one above demands: every panel has to land within a fraction of an inch of the last one, or the image breaks.
Wallpaper is unforgiving — bubbles, misaligned seams, lifting edges, and pattern mismatches all telegraph a rushed install. Tyler handles installation and removal himself, with the same prep discipline behind our cabinet work: walls are smoothed, sealed, and ready before any paper goes up, and old wallpaper comes down methodically to limit wall damage underneath.
The owner, on your wall
Hand-smoothed seams, adhesive kept off the face, panel matched to panel. The person who quotes your job is the person hanging the paper.

What we hang
Paste-the-back and paste-the-wall papers in vinyl, non-woven, and paper substrates. A strong fit for high-traffic halls, baths, and full rooms where you want the wallcovering to stay put.
Jute, sisal, seagrass, and linen wallcoverings bring rich texture and organic warmth — and they demand real material judgment. Seams show by design, panels vary naturally, and adhesive has to stay off the face — laid out so the texture reads intentional.
Pro install prevents bubbles, drift, and lifting edges. We prep and prime the wall so the adhesive grabs and holds.
Large-scale focal points that live or die on panel alignment. We measure the wall, plan the layout, and match panel to panel so the scene reads as one piece — like the Palm Springs installation at the top of this page.
The biggest difference between a professional wallpaper job and a problem install is wall preparation. Wallpaper shows every imperfection — bumps, nail holes, old glue residue, texture inconsistencies — and they all telegraph through the paper and ruin the finished look. Before any wallpaper goes up, we:
Wallpaper installation cost comes down to six factors: the material class, the condition of the wall before prep, the complexity of the room and its pattern matching, whether old wallpaper has to come down first, how the material is sourced, and whether it's one accent wall or a full room. Every estimate starts with those six, not a flat per-room number — get a free, no-obligation estimate and Tyler will walk the wall with you before quoting anything.
Because those six factors vary so much room to room, Tyler prices every wallpaper job after seeing the wall and the material — in person or from photos you text him — instead of quoting a number sight-unseen. For the full breakdown of each factor, see the wallpaper installation cost guide.
Old wallpaper removal damages drywall when it's rushed or scraped aggressively. Parallel Painting removes wallpaper in six steps, each one built to protect the wall underneath instead of tearing into it.
A scoring tool perforates the top layer of the old wallpaper so remover can reach the adhesive underneath instead of sitting on top of it.
Professional-grade remover or a wallpaper steamer softens the glue bond so the paper releases from the wall instead of tearing the drywall face with it.
Once the adhesive has softened, the paper comes off in sections, working slowly so the drywall paper facing stays intact.
Leftover adhesive is cleared from the wall so it doesn't telegraph through new paper or paint, or interfere with primer bonding.
Any gouges, torn drywall paper, or uneven patches from the old install get skim coated and sanded smooth.
A wallpaper-appropriate primer or sealer goes on last, sealing the surface and creating the right bonding layer for new wallpaper or paint.
Text a few photos and Tyler will tell you what it will take before the visit.
Wallpaper gets the full attention it deserves here — material judgment, wall prep, removal, patching, primer or sealer, layout, careful pattern matching, clean seams, and a steady hand with specialty papers and grasscloth. It's not a side service we squeeze in between paint jobs; it's one of two things Parallel Painting builds its name on, and the Palm Springs mural above is the scale of project we take on. If the room needs surrounding wall paint, trim touch-ups, or drywall repair after the wallpaper plan is set, Tyler can fold that into a complete room refresh. Owner-operated by Tyler Fowler.

We also specialize in Italian 2K cabinet refinishing — a factory-grade, sprayed finish with HEPA-vacuumed sanding and dust-controlled containment. Same standard: Tyler on every job.
See Cabinet RefinishingWallpaper shows the wall underneath it. Nail holes, dents, adhesive residue, texture, torn drywall, and uneven patches all telegraph through the finished paper or create seam and adhesion problems. Before installation, Tyler assesses the wall, removes residue when needed, patches damage, skims where needed, sands smooth, and uses primer or sealer when the wall and material call for it.
Yes. Parallel Painting installs traditional paste-the-wall and paste-the-back papers, grasscloth and natural fiber wallcoverings (jute, sisal, seagrass, linen), large-format mural wallpapers, specialty papers, and peel-and-stick when the material and surface are a fit.
Yes. Old wallpaper removal starts with scoring, applying professional-grade remover that dissolves the adhesive, and careful scraping without gouging the drywall underneath. After removal, Tyler smooths the wall, skim coats where needed, and primes or seals so it is ready for paint or new wallcovering.
Accent walls are typically completed in a single day. Full rooms with four walls at standard ceiling height generally run one to two days, depending on material type, pattern complexity, ceiling height, and any wall prep required. Murals and specialty papers take longer; Tyler gives you a realistic timeline before starting.
Yes. Tyler works with designer-sourced and customer-supplied wallcoverings. Bring your designer's spec or material and Tyler will confirm whether the wall is ready and what prep is needed before installation.
Parallel Painting installs wallpaper across Temecula Valley and Southwest Riverside County (Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Fallbrook) and the Coachella Valley (Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, La Quinta).
Powder rooms need a moisture-appropriate material — vinyl-coated or non-woven wallpaper handles the humidity swings from a nearby sink far better than paper-backed products. Grasscloth and other natural fiber materials can work in a powder room, but they need a fan that actually vents moisture and are a poor fit for a room with no ventilation, since natural fibers stain and can loosen at the seams with repeated humidity exposure. Tyler reviews the room's ventilation before recommending a material.
Ask about wall prep standards (does the estimate include patching, skim coat, and primer, or just hanging paper), pattern-match and seam proof (can they show finished work with tight seams and aligned repeats), experience with designer-sourced and specialty materials like grasscloth and murals, and whether the work carries a written estimate you can hold them to. Parallel Painting's installer is owner Tyler Fowler, CSLB Licensed #1015608, on every job personally, with wall prep as the first step on every estimate.
Wallpaper itself isn't exposed to outdoor heat, but desert homes create indoor conditions that stress an install if the wall isn't prepped correctly — dry air pulls moisture out of adhesive faster, and sun-facing rooms show seams and wall defects more than shaded ones. The material and adhesive choice, plus correctly sealing old glue residue before the new paper goes up, are what keep a Coachella Valley installation looking clean long-term.
