Wallpaper removal and wall prep
Prep starts with removing old paper and adhesive. We patch imperfections, sand smooth and apply primer so your wall covering has a clean base. We never hang wallpaper over an existing layer.
Hang and match the pattern
We measure the repeat and cut each strip before applying adhesive. As the paper goes up, we line up the design across strips, smooth out air and roll the seams.

Wallpaper Installation & Removal in Sandy Springs
Sandy Springs homeowners are bringing wallpaper installation back into homes that have not seen it since the 1980s. Whether your Riverside ranch is getting its first accent wall or your Hammond Hills split-level needs old floral patterns removed before something new goes up, professional wallpaper services here mean knowing how to handle both removal and installation in the same room. We work in Mount Vernon, Glenridge, and the Perimeter Center condos regularly.
Local Housing & Architecture
Your Sandy Springs home likely has textured walls, old wallpaper underneath, or both. Mid-century ranches in Mount Vernon and Hammond Hills were finished with orange peel or knockdown texture that prevents wallpaper adhesive from making full contact. That texture has to be skim coated smooth before any paper will hold. Newer townhomes in Glenridge and River Chase have standard smooth drywall that accepts wallpaper primer directly. Many older homes also have two or three layers of existing wallpaper from previous owners, and each layer traps moisture differently during removal. We assess every wall before starting so there are no surprises halfway through your project.

What Sandy Springs Homeowners Should Know
Textured Walls? We Skim Coat First.
Two passes of joint compound over orange peel or knockdown texture, sanded smooth, then primed for a proper bond.
Old Wallpaper Layers Removed Clean
We steam every existing layer, repair drywall damage from old adhesive, and prime before your new pattern goes up.
Condo HOA Rules? We Handle It.
Elevator scheduling, hallway floor protection, and work-hour compliance so your association has zero issues.
For Sandy Springs homes with popcorn ceilings next to wallpapered walls, have the ceiling line masked with painter's tape before trimming wallpaper at the top edge. The uneven texture makes a clean cut difficult without a guide. If your home in Riverside or Huntcliff was built before 1978, get any existing wallcoverings tested for lead paint before removal begins. For Perimeter Center and Glenridge condo owners, check your HOA guidelines on contractor access hours and hallway protection requirements before scheduling. We coordinate with building management on freight elevator times and floor protection so your project runs smoothly without association complaints. If you are choosing between peel-and-stick and professional paste-the-wall installation, know that peel-and-stick curls at the edges within 6 to 12 months in Atlanta's humidity. Professional installation on properly primed walls outlasts it by years and removes cleanly when you are ready for a change.
“Pattern matching is where wallpaper installations fail or succeed. You have to measure and cut every strip before adhesive ever touches the wall. A millimeter off on the first strip compounds into a visible mismatch by the time you reach the fourth. We measure twice, cut once, and never rush the setup.”

More Answers Before You Book
Can painters in Sandy Springs remove wallpaper and paint smoothly? Any recs?
Yes. OVO Painting handles full wallpaper removal, wall repair, priming, and painting as one project. Painting over wallpaper almost never works well, so proper removal is the right first step.
Who offers color consultation and painting services near East Sandy Springs?
OVO Painting includes a free color consultation with every project. One of our designers brings sample boards to your home so you can see how colors look under your natural light, not under the fluorescent lights at the paint store.
Before you book a wallpaper installer
How much does wallpaper installation cost in Sandy Springs?
Installation labor is approximately $5 per square foot. A single accent wall typically costs $400 to $600; a full room is $1,000 to $2,000. Wallpaper is priced separately. Removal and wall repair add $2.75 per square foot when needed. Your fixed written estimate lists labor and materials separately.
How much does it cost to wallpaper a 12x12 room?
Allow $1,750 to $2,000 for installation labor, plus the wallpaper. That estimate assumes 8-foot ceilings and roughly 350 to 400 square feet of wall space after allowing for doors and windows. The pattern, ceiling height and surface condition affect the final quote.
Why is professional wallpaper installation worth the cost?
The price covers more than hanging the paper. Our wallpaper installers repair and prime the surface before measuring each cut and applying adhesive. This process helps prevent lifting edges and mismatched seams.
Is wallpaper better than paint for Sandy Springs homes?
Choose wallpaper when you want texture or a pattern; choose paint when you want to change colors more easily. You can also use both: paper on an accent wall and paint on the remaining walls. We can handle both and talk through the options at your walkthrough.
Can you remove existing wallpaper before installing new paper?
Yes. We strip the old paper, remove the adhesive, repair the surface and apply primer so it is ready for new wallpaper. Removal and wall repair cost $2.75 per square foot and appear separately in your estimate. We do not hang paper over existing wallpaper.
What types of wallpaper do you install?
We install residential wallpaper, including grasscloth, silk, printed papers, vinyl and peel-and-stick, as well as commercial wallcoverings. Vinyl resists moisture and cleans easily, making it an option for kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms. Peel-and-stick can suit accent walls or rental homes, but it still needs a smooth, primed base. Grasscloth and silk need extra care during cutting and application. At your walkthrough, we discuss your chosen wallcovering and the preparation it needs.
How long does wallpaper installation take, and can I stay home?
Most single rooms take one to two days. Significant wall preparation can extend that to two to three days. You can stay home while we work. Floors and furniture are protected, and we clean up daily so the rest of your home stays usable.
What if I am not happy with the installation?
You walk the room with your installer before sign-off. We correct anything that needs attention and give you your 5 to 10-year written warranty. If a seam lifts or an edge fails afterward, call us. We return to make it right at no additional charge.
Can wallpaper go over the textured walls in my Sandy Springs home?
Not directly, and this is the number one reason DIY wallpaper fails in older Sandy Springs homes. The orange peel and knockdown textures common in Mount Vernon and Hammond Hills prevent the adhesive from making full contact with your wall. We skim coat the textured area with joint compound, sand it smooth, and apply a dedicated wallpaper primer. This creates the flat, sealed surface that wallpaper needs to bond properly and last for years.
How do you remove multiple layers of old wallpaper without damaging my drywall?
We use commercial steamers to soften the old paste, then carefully scrape each layer with wide blade scrapers angled to protect the paper face of your drywall. Homes in Hammond Hills and Mount Vernon with multiple wallpaper layers take longer because each layer traps moisture differently. After removal, we skim any gouges or torn paper face before priming for your new wallpaper. Your walls come out smooth and ready.
Is peel-and-stick wallpaper a good option for my Perimeter Center condo?
It works for short-term accent walls, but it curls at the edges within 6 to 12 months in Atlanta's humidity. If you are investing in a pattern you love, professional paste-the-wall installation on properly primed drywall outlasts peel-and-stick by years. We also remove it cleanly when you move, with no residue, no wall damage, and no security deposit issues.
