Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our wallpaper installation services in Miami.

How much does wallpaper installation cost in Miami?+

Wallpaper installation costs in Miami typically range from $3 to $9 per square foot, depending on the complexity of the project, wall condition, and wallpaper material. Factors that affect pricing include wall preparation requirements (plaster repair, skim-coating), the type of wallpaper (standard vinyl vs. delicate silk), room accessibility, and pattern matching complexity. Pricing can also vary by project type, such as residential wallpaper installation or commercial wallpaper installation. We provide free detailed estimates for every project with no hidden fees — what we quote is what you pay.

How long does wallpaper installation take?+

A single room typically takes 1–2 days, including wall preparation and installation. Larger projects or rooms requiring extensive prep work (such as wallpaper removal, plaster repair, or skim-coating) may take 3–5 days. Complete home installations are usually completed within 1–2 weeks, including historic home wallpaper projects. We provide a detailed timeline estimate during your free consultation so you can plan accordingly.

Do you remove old wallpaper before installing new?+

Yes, we offer complete wallpaper removal services. In most cases, old wallpaper must be removed and walls properly prepared before new wallpaper can be installed. Installing over existing wallpaper can lead to bubbling, peeling, and an uneven finish. We use commercial-grade steamers and eco-friendly solvents to remove old paper and adhesive residue, then repair and prime the walls for a perfect foundation.

What types of wallpaper do you install?+

We install all types of wallpaper and wall coverings, including vinyl, grasscloth, silk, non-woven, peel-and-stick, fabric-backed, custom digital murals, metallic foils, and commercial-grade Type II wall coverings. This includes both residential wallpaper and commercial wallpaper applications. We can work with any material you choose from any manufacturer or retailer, or we can help you select the right option based on your room's conditions, traffic level, and design goals.

Do you work with plaster walls in older Miami homes?+

Absolutely. We specialize in historic home wallpaper installation and have extensive experience with plaster walls common in neighborhoods like Shenandoah, Little Haiti, and Coral Way. We use specialized alkali-resistant primers, professional skim-coating techniques, and gentle preparation methods that protect original plaster while creating a perfectly smooth surface for wallpaper adhesion.

Are you licensed and insured?+

Yes, Miami Wallpapering Service is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage on every project. This protects both you and our team in the unlikely event of any incident during the installation process. We are happy to provide proof of insurance upon request.

What areas do you serve?+

We serve the entire Miami-Dade and Broward County region, including Little Havana, Flagami, Allapattah, Coral Way, Little Haiti, Brickell, Liberty City, Downtown Miami, Upper Eastside, and Shenandoah. If you are unsure whether we serve your area, please call us at (954) 466-1565 — chances are we do.

How do I prepare my room for wallpaper installation?+

We recommend clearing furniture away from the walls (about 3–4 feet of clearance is ideal) and removing any wall decorations, nails, picture hooks, and switch plate covers. Our team handles all wall preparation including cleaning, priming, and repairing imperfections. We also lay down protective drop cloths to safeguard your floors and any remaining furniture during the installation process.

Do you offer a warranty on your work?+

Yes, we stand behind every installation with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If any issues arise related to our workmanship — such as seam separation, bubbling, or adhesion failure — we will return to address them at no additional cost. The specific warranty terms and duration are outlined in your project agreement before any work begins.

Can you help me choose the right wallpaper?+

While we are professional installers rather than wallpaper retailers, we are happy to provide expert guidance on material selection based on your room's conditions, traffic level, moisture exposure, and design goals. We can recommend materials that perform especially well in Miami's humid subtropical climate for both residential spaces and commercial spaces, and connect you with trusted wallpaper suppliers, showrooms, and interior designers in the area.
