Before your wallpaper installation even begins, proper preparation is what ensures a flawless final result. At Carlson Paint & Paper, we take the time to get every surface ready the right way. This includes full site protection to keep your home clean and protected throughout the process. Floors, furniture, and surrounding areas are carefully covered so you can feel confident that your space is being respected from start to finish.
Surface preparation is just as important as the installation itself. We use dustless sanding systems to smooth out walls while minimizing airborne dust, keeping your home cleaner and healthier during the prep phase. Any imperfections, such as dents, seams, or previous damage, are addressed by spackling and sanding to create a smooth, uniform surface. Wallpaper will highlight flaws if they aren’t corrected beforehand, so this step is critical.
We also apply the proper wallpaper primer, which helps the paper adhere correctly and ensures long-term durability. A properly primed wall not only makes installation cleaner and more precise, but it also allows for easier removal down the road if you ever decide to update your space.
To make the process even easier, we can often provide a phone estimate to get your project started quickly. By discussing measurements, layout, and the type of wallpaper you’ve selected, we can give you a solid idea of what to expect before scheduling an on-site visit if needed.
With the right preparation, tools, and attention to detail, your wallpaper installation will not only look incredible, but it will last.
