Wallpaper Services in Salt Lake City

A few things we've learned hanging and removing wallpaper across the Wasatch Front:

• Old plaster walls need extra prep. The Avenues, Capitol Hill, and Federal Heights homes are full of original plaster walls that don't accept wallpaper paste like modern drywall. Proper sizing and primer steps are non-negotiable — skipping them causes seams to lift within months.
• Removal in older homes is rarely simple. Many SLC pre-1960 homes have three to five layers of wallpaper applied directly over each other, sometimes with paint between. We use steam and chemical strippers depending on age and substrate — and budget extra time for plaster walls.
• Dry climate affects paste cure. Salt Lake's low humidity speeds adhesive cure, which is great — but also means we have to work fast on each strip. We acclimate rolls in your home for 24 hours before hanging to prevent shrinkage and seam gaps.
• Trends are coming back. Once dismissed as dated, wallpaper is back in Salt Lake interiors — especially powder rooms, accent walls, and dining rooms. We're hanging more in the Avenues, 9th & 9th, and Sugar House than we have in 15 years.
