Getting Wallpaper Installation Right the First Time

Wallpaper is unforgiving of shortcuts. Uneven walls, poor adhesive work, or rushed seams show up immediately and only get harder to fix the longer they're left alone. Painting By Eli treats wall prep as seriously for wallpaper as for any paint job, which means:



  • Walls inspected and prepped before any paper goes up
  • Surfaces smoothed and repaired so seams lay flat and even
  • Careful pattern matching at seams for a clean, professional look
  • Proper adhesive application suited to the specific wallpaper material
  • Attention to corners, outlets, and trim for a finished edge throughout
  • A final walkthrough to confirm the result before the crew leaves

Wallpaper Removal Without the Wall Damage

Removing old, outdated, or damaged wallpaper is often more delicate than hanging new paper. Pulling it incorrectly can tear into the drywall underneath, creating extra repair work that wasn't part of the original plan. Painting By Eli's crew removes existing wallpaper carefully and preps the surface underneath so it's ready for whatever comes next, whether that's new paper or a fresh coat of paint.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wallpapering

  • Can you install wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

    It's generally not recommended, since old wallpaper can bubble or shift underneath the new layer. Removing the existing paper first typically produces a more durable result.

  • What if there's damage to the wall underneath old wallpaper?

    Since sheetrock repair is handled in-house, any damage found during removal, such as tears, holes, or uneven patches, can be repaired as part of the same project.

  • How long does wallpaper typically last before needing replacement?

    Well-installed wallpaper can last well over a decade depending on the material and how the room is used, though high-moisture areas may need attention sooner.

  • Do you work with wallpaper I've already purchased?

    Yes, wallpaper supplied by the client can be installed, and guidance on suitable materials can also be provided during the estimate if you haven't purchased yet.

  • Is wallpaper a good option for bathrooms or kitchens?

    Certain moisture-resistant wallpaper materials work well in these spaces, and this can be discussed during the consultation based on the specific room and ventilation.
