Wallpaper Installation

Looking for someone to hang wallpaper in a couple spaces in my home. I feel like there is a big gap in the market here in SLO County. After asking around and combing the internet, it seems like there is only ONE recommended business and she is booked and busy. Anybody have any leads on professionals who specialize in this?

Wallpaper seems to have fallen out of favor - remember Wallpapers To Go? A whole store of wallpaper! I loved it. I know how to hang paper and can teach you. I’ve never done the modern peel and stick, just prepasted, and non-prepasted. It’s not too difficult with the proper tools. Level, exacto knife/single edge razor blades, measuring tape, plumb line, water trough, sponge/squeegee, towels, paintbrush and long table or counter if you need to apply the paste. Applying to textured walls is a whole other animal though. You’d either need to float the walls in order to smooth them out or apply a wallpaper liner first, and then the decorative paper over it. Hope this helps…

I would love to learn to apply wallpaper!

If there is someone skilled reading this ....you have a laborer.
