What to know about Wallpaper installation
Hanging wallpaper is a preparation trade wearing a decorator's clothes. The visible skill is in plumb strips, matched patterns and seams you cannot find, but the outcome is decided earlier, by what the paper is being asked to stick to. Wallcovering telegraphs every ridge, patch and fastener beneath it and will not bond to a dusty, glossy, chalky or damp surface, so the wall is the job and the paper is the finish.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size of the area and ceiling height
- Condition of the walls, trim or siding
- Amount of prep and repairs
- Number of colours and coats
- Paint quality
- Access, including stairwells and upper floors
How to choose wallpaper installers in Washington
- Ask how the painter will prepare the surfaces, since patching, sanding and priming matter as much as the paint.
- Get a written quote that lists which rooms or surfaces are included, the number of coats and who supplies the paint.
- Ask how they'll protect floors, furniture, landscaping and anything they can't move.
- In older homes, ask how they handle old paint that may contain lead.
- Look at recent work, paying attention to clean lines at ceilings and trim.
Questions to ask wallpaper installers before you hire
- What prep work is included, such as patching, sanding, caulking and priming?
- How many coats are included, and what paint will you use?
- Are ceilings, trim, doors and closets part of the price?
- How will you protect my floors, furniture and plants?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance?
- What happens if I notice touch-ups needed after you finish?
Wallpaper installation permits in District of Columbia
Some wallpaper installation work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Painters guide
Hiring a painter in the United States means hiring two things at once: a finish and a work method. The finish is what you see, and it comes down to preparation, the number of coats and the care taken at edges.

Interior Painting guide
Interior painting looks like the simplest job in the house to buy, which is why it is so often bought badly. The coating itself is a small part of what you are paying for.

Exterior Painting guide
An exterior repaint is a maintenance job disguised as a cosmetic one. The coating is what stops water reaching wood, and the part of the work that determines whether it lasts happens before any colour goes on: washing,…
