Top Wallpaper Installation Questions We Get
Hanging wallpaper looks simple until a pattern stops matching or paste bleeds onto your trim. These are the five questions Atlanta homeowners bring us most often — and the straight answer to each.
What will my wallpaper job actually cost?
Once we measure the room with you and look at the paper you've chosen, you receive one fixed written price, itemized so nothing is hidden. The figure you approve is the figure you pay — no surprise add-ons once hanging begins.
Can you take down old wallpaper before hanging the new?
Yes. We strip the existing paper, clear away leftover adhesive, and repair whatever the old layer was hiding, so your new pattern lands on a smooth, sound wall instead of a lumpy one.
Will the pattern actually line up at the seams?
That's the whole craft. Our installer plumbs the first drop, books each panel, and matches the repeat across every seam and around every corner — so the wall reads as one continuous design, not a grid of mismatched strips.
Who is doing the hanging — a sub I've never met?
The same in-house OVO installer who starts your room finishes it, with a project manager you'll know by name checking the work. We don't hand your keys to a rotating roster of strangers.
Will paste and trimmings end up all over my house?
Floors and furnishings are covered before the first strip goes up, excess paste is wiped as we go, and the room is put back in order each evening — so the space stays livable while we work.
How a Professional Wallpaper Installation Actually Goes Up
A wallcovering reads as flawless or amateur for reasons most homeowners never see, because they happen before the first panel touches the wall. Every OVO install starts by measuring the room and the pattern repeat so we order the right roll count and waste as little paper as possible. Next the walls are made ready: we skim and sand rough spots, patch nail holes and old seams, and roll on a quality wallpaper primer that both seals the surface and gives the paste something to grip — and, just as important, lets the next owner strip the paper cleanly years from now. Only then does hanging begin. Our installer plumbs a true vertical line, hangs the first drop to it, then books each panel, sets it, and smooths every bubble and ridge toward the edges with a flat blade. Seams are matched along the repeat and rolled tight, corners are wrapped rather than butted, and excess is trimmed clean at the ceiling and baseboard. It is slow, exacting work, and it is exactly why the finished wall looks like one continuous piece of art instead of a column of strips.
Why Neighbors Across Atlanta Hand OVO Their Wallpaper
Plenty of crews can stick paper to a wall. Far fewer leave you with seams you can't find, a price that never moved, and a warranty in writing. Here's what sets an OVO wallpaper job apart.
A Price Locked in Writing
You get one fixed written quote after we measure the room and review your paper, itemized down to what shapes the figure. Approve it and that's the bill; extra rolls or wall repairs never appear as a surprise once the work starts.
Walls Prepped to Hold the Paper
Lasting results start beneath the pattern. We strip old layers, skim and sand rough spots, prime the surface, and correct the flaws the previous wallpaper hid, so your new design lies flat and bonds the way it should.
One In-House Installer, Start to Finish
The OVO craftsman who hangs your first drop hangs your last, with a daily on-site project manager confirming every seam and corner. No anonymous subcontractors, no handing your home to whoever was available that morning.
A Written 5–10 Year Warranty
We stand behind the install in writing, with the term set by the materials and conditions of your project. If a seam lifts or a panel peels within that window, we make it right — the same promise behind every OVO finish.
Wallpaper Removal Done Right
Taking old wallcovering down is often messier than putting new paper up, and a rushed strip job can gouge drywall and leave adhesive that ghosts through the next finish. We dissolve and lift the old paper, clear every trace of paste, and repair the wall beneath — so you start clean whether the next step is fresh paper or paint.
Free Design Consultation
Pattern, scale, and placement are hard to picture from a small sample. Our free consultation helps you match the wallcovering to the room’s light, proportions, and the rest of your home — so the wall you commit to is the wall you’ll still love years from now.
Choosing the Right Wallcovering
Not all wallpaper hangs — or wears — the same way, and the material you pick shapes both the look and the labor. Standard pre-pasted and non-woven papers are the most forgiving and the most budget-friendly, ideal for bedrooms, offices, and dining rooms. Vinyl and vinyl-coated wallcoverings shrug off moisture and scrubbing, which makes them the right call for powder rooms, kitchens, and high-traffic hallways. Grasscloth and other natural-fiber papers bring unmatched texture and depth but demand an experienced hand — the seams are visible by design and the material is unforgiving of paste stains, so it is no place for a first-timer. Peel-and-stick papers are popular for renters and quick refreshes, though they hold best over smooth, well-primed walls. And large-scale murals turn a single wall into a focal point, but only line up correctly when the panels are sequenced and hung in exact order. Whatever you choose, we will tell you honestly how it behaves on the wall and confirm the roll count before anything is ordered.

What Wallpaper Installation Costs Across Atlanta
What a wallpaper project costs comes down to the room's size, whether old paper has to come down first, the condition of the walls beneath, and the type of paper you choose — a hand-printed or grasscloth pattern asks more of the installer than a standard pre-pasted roll. The tiers below are typical ranges for planning only; we lock your exact figure into a fixed written quote once a free in-home visit lets us see the rooms firsthand.
Small Project
A powder room, single accent wall, or compact entry, typically $600–$1,500. Best when you want one bold statement wall or a small space wrapped in pattern.
Medium Project
A full bedroom, dining room, or office, typically $1,500–$4,000. Covers all four walls, with old paper removal and wall repair folded in where needed.
Large Project
Multiple rooms, a stairwell, or premium grasscloth and specialty papers, typically $4,000 and up. Built for whole-home pattern schemes or demanding materials that require extra care to hang.

Accent Wall Ideas That Work in Atlanta Homes
A single papered wall is the highest-impact, lowest-commitment way to use wallcovering, and it is where many of our projects start. Behind a bed, a grasscloth or moody floral headboard wall sets the tone for the whole room. In a dining room, a deep botanical or chinoiserie panel turns dinners into something memorable. Powder rooms are the boldest play in the house — small enough that even a dramatic large-scale pattern feels delightful rather than overwhelming. Home offices gain depth and quiet from a textured neutral behind the desk, the wall everyone sees on a video call. And a two-story foyer or stair wall hung in a continuous mural greets every guest the moment the door opens. We will help you read the room’s light and proportions during your free consultation so the accent lands as a focal point, not an afterthought.

All Wallpaper Installation FAQs
Most single rooms are hung in a day or two, depending on the wall condition, whether old paper has to come off first, and how intricate the pattern repeat is. You'll have a firm timeline before we start.
Yes. We strip the old paper, dissolve and clear the leftover adhesive, then patch and smooth the surface beneath — leaving it ready for fresh paper or a coat of paint, whichever you choose next.
Either works. Many homeowners pick their own pattern and we hang it; others lean on our free color and design consultation to choose. We'll confirm the roll count so you never run short mid-wall.
Yes — every OVO install carries a written warranty of five to ten years, with the term set by the materials and your project's conditions. If a seam lifts within that window, we return and correct it.
Always. We measure your rooms in person, review your paper, and leave a firm written price the same visit — no pressure and no obligation.
Most single-room removals run $400–$1,200, depending on how many layers are on the wall, what was used to hang them, and whether someone painted over the paper at some point. Older homes and double-layered walls take longer to strip cleanly. We quote removal as its own line item so you can see exactly what it adds, and we always repair and prime the wall afterward so it’s ready for whatever comes next — fresh wallcovering or paint.
Yes. Grasscloth, hand-printed, natural-fiber, and large-scale mural papers are some of our favorite work, and they are exactly the materials you do not want a first-timer learning on. The seams on grasscloth are visible by design, the material stains easily from paste, and panels often need to be sequenced for color consistency. Our installer handles them slowly and deliberately, which is why they belong with a professional rather than a weekend project.
Paint is faster, cheaper, and the easier choice for large or frequently changing spaces. Wallpaper costs more up front but delivers texture, depth, and pattern that paint simply cannot — and on a single accent wall it transforms a room for a fraction of a full repaint. A good middle path many Atlanta homeowners take is one papered feature wall with the remaining walls painted in a complementary color. Because OVO does both under one roof, we’ll give you a straight recommendation for your specific room rather than steering you toward one or the other.
In almost every case, yes. A proper wallpaper primer seals the drywall, gives the adhesive a consistent surface to grip, and — critically — makes the paper far easier to remove down the road without tearing the wall apart. Hanging paper directly on bare or freshly patched drywall is one of the most common causes of seams that lift and removal jobs that destroy the wall. We prime as a standard part of every install.

| The U.S. wallcovering market continues to grow as homeowners shift toward textured accent walls and removable papers over flat paint. | Grand View Research, Wallpaper Market Report, 2024 |

| A single statement accent wall is consistently ranked among the highest-impact, lowest-cost interior updates for resale appeal. | National Association of Realtors, Remodeling Impact Report, 2024 |
| Improper removal of old wallcovering is a leading cause of drywall damage during interior remodels, often adding repair cost to the next project. | National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), 2023 |
| Wall prep and priming are cited by professional installers as the single biggest factor in whether wallpaper seams hold over time. | Wallcoverings Association (WA), 2023 |
"Wallpaper is one of those jobs where the difference between professional and amateur is measured in millimeters. A seam that’s a hair off, a pattern that drifts a quarter inch over eight feet, a bubble you only notice when the afternoon light hits it — those are the things that make a wall look cheap, and they all trace back to prep and patience. We prime every wall, we plumb every first drop, and we match the repeat across every corner like the wall is one piece of fabric. And we take old paper down the right way too, because a sloppy removal ruins the wall for whatever comes next. Do it properly and a wallcovering can look perfect for a decade or more. That’s the standard we put in writing."— Sebastian Thomas, Owner, OVO Painting
