Older Walls, Plaster Prep & Preservation Mindset

Chicago's historic bungalows, Greystone two-flats, and Victorian homes present unique challenges for wallpaper installation. Many were built before drywall existed — their plaster walls require specialized preparation that modern installers often overlook.

Plaster Wall Assessment

Before any installation, we assess the plaster for stability, moisture damage, and surface irregularities. We repair cracks with appropriate compounds, stabilize loose sections, and apply a skim coat where needed to create a smooth, even surface.

Preservation-First Approach

We believe historic homes deserve wallpaper that honors their character. We work with period-appropriate patterns, traditional paste formulations, and techniques that allow future removal without damaging the underlying plaster — preserving the home's integrity for generations to come.

Pricing Factors

We don't publish flat rates because every project is unique. Pricing depends on:

  • Room size and number of walls
  • Wallpaper type and pattern complexity
  • Current wall condition and prep required
  • Accessibility and ceiling height

We provide free, detailed written estimates with no obligation. There are never any hidden fees.
