WALLPAPER INSTALLATION PRICING

What is the cost to install wallpaper?

We show you in our wallpaper installation pricing guide below!

We’ve got two different layouts:

1) We have individual pricing for popular types of wallpaper projects, with photo thumbnails.

2) The same info is in a spreadsheet of the cost to hang wallpaper, at the bottom of the page.

Please remember that these are “ballpark” figures!

A lot of factors can affect how much it will cost to hang wallpaper in any particular project. Your numbers can go up from here, if yours is a tricky paper to work with, or we have installation challenges. See our notes, below the chart!

**TIP: Don’t forget to add the cost to purchase your wallpaper into your project planning!!**

We don’t sell wallpaper here at Paper Moon Painting, but we can refer you to local showrooms who do, plus we have a comprehensive guide to where to buy wallpaper online. Now, on to the wallpaper installation pricing guide!

What Factors Affect the Cost to Install Wallpaper?

1. The dimensions of your space.

Not only does this dictate how much wallpaper you need to buy, but also the installation cost itself. Naturally, larger spaces will cost more to install, but a key factor here is the height of your walls. Most wallpapers are designed to accommodate walls that are 11′ high or less. With higher walls, you’re forced to order extra wallpaper to cover the extra height. But apart from needing to buy more wallcovering, it’s physically more challenging to hang wallpaper on taller walls, so most wallpaper installers will reflect this in your pricing.

2. The existing texture on your walls.

It’s easiest to install wallpaper on walls that are what we call “wallpaper ready”, meaning that the texture on the walls is perfectly smooth (what the industry calls a “Level 5” finish). If there is currently wallpaper on your walls, we’ll have to deal with the existing wallpaper. And if your walls are textured, such as with an “orange peel” texture which is common in most Texas homes, we’ll need to smooth those walls fisrt to get a professional result.

3. The type of wallpaper being installed.

Is yours a specialty wallpaper? Is it made of silk, or hand-painted, or a photo mural? Wallpaper ranges from tissue-thin hand-made papers to heavy-duty commercial vinyl wallcoverings. Thinner, more fragile wallpapers are actually more difficult to work with. And don’t get us started on heavily textured or embossed papers, such as wallpapers covered in glass beads or mica flakes! They’re a nightmare to cut and unbelievably heavy to install. (But they sure look pretty!) In general, wallpapers that are hand-painted, metallic, fabric, or “untrimmed” will require a pricing adjustment. Your wallpaper installation pricing will be affected by wallpapers that are harder to work with.

4. Miscellaneous factors.

There might be other variables that affect your particular wallpaper installation pricing, such as ease of access to the space or whether you’re outside our usual service area. We’ll be clear on all these when we give you an estimate!

We take a lot of factors into account when we estimate the cost to install wallpaper in your project! Hopefully the chart above serves as a basic guide, so you can plan and budget accordingly.
