Wallpaper Done Right
Wallpaper is making a serious comeback — and for good reason. A single accent wall with the right pattern can completely transform a room in ways that paint alone cannot. But wallpaper is unforgiving. Bubbles, misaligned seams, peeling edges, and pattern mismatches are all signs of poor installation. That is why hiring a professional matters.
At Parallel Painting, Tyler handles wallpaper installation and removal with the same precision and prep discipline we bring to every painting project. Walls are smoothed, primed, and ready before any paper goes up. Patterns are aligned meticulously. Seams are invisible. And when old wallpaper needs to come down, we remove it cleanly without damaging the drywall underneath.
Wallpaper Installation
We install all types of wallpaper — from traditional paste-the-wall papers to modern peel-and-stick options. Here is what we work with:
Traditional Wallpaper
Paste-the-back or paste-the-wall papers that deliver the most durable, long-lasting results. Available in vinyl, non-woven, and paper substrates. Best for high-traffic areas, bathrooms, and full-room applications where longevity matters.
Grasscloth & Natural Textures
Grasscloth, jute, sisal, and linen wallpapers add rich texture and organic warmth to a room. These materials require careful handling — seams show by design, and adhesive must be kept off the face of the material. We have the experience to install them cleanly.
Peel-and-Stick
Popular for accent walls and rental-friendly installations. While marketed as DIY-friendly, professional installation eliminates the common problems: air bubbles, uneven alignment, and edges that peel after a few weeks. We prep the wall surface properly so the adhesive actually holds.
Mural Wallpapers
Large-scale mural wallpapers — landscapes, abstract art, botanical prints — create dramatic focal points. These multi-panel installations require precise alignment across panels to create a seamless image. One panel off by even a millimeter and the illusion breaks.
Wallpaper Removal
Removing old wallpaper is one of the most dreaded home improvement tasks — and for good reason. Done wrong, you end up with torn drywall, gouges, and a wall that needs significant repair before it can be painted or re-papered. We handle removal methodically:
- Score the surface to allow removal solution to penetrate behind the paper
- Apply professional-grade wallpaper remover that dissolves adhesive without damaging drywall
- Careful scraping that removes paper and adhesive residue without gouging the wall surface
- Wall smoothing and skim coating where needed to repair any damage from the original installation
- Priming the wall so it is ready for fresh paint or new wallpaper
Why Wall Prep Matters
The biggest difference between a professional wallpaper job and a DIY disaster is wall preparation. Wallpaper shows every imperfection — bumps, divots, nail holes, texture inconsistencies. They all telegraph through the paper and ruin the finished look.
Before any wallpaper goes up, we:
- Fill all nail holes, dents, and drywall imperfections
- Sand the surface smooth — no texture bumps or rough patches
- Apply wallpaper-specific primer that creates the ideal bonding surface
- Ensure walls are completely dry and clean before installation begins
- Check walls for level and plumb — out-of-square walls require pattern adjustments
