Seamless Application for Flawless Walls

Professional wallpaper installation in Greenwich, Connecticut for homes, offices, and accent walls.

Wallpaper that bubbles, peels at the seams, or shows visible pattern mismatches makes a room look unfinished no matter how carefully you chose the design. Many homeowners in Greenwich attempt installation themselves only to find that lining up patterns, avoiding air pockets, and keeping seams invisible requires more precision than expected.

Gunderson Flooring and Design installs wallpaper with careful attention to measuring, cutting, and aligning each strip so patterns match perfectly and seams stay tight against the wall. The service covers vinyl, fabric, textured, grasscloth, and specialty wallpapers, and applies to full rooms, accent walls, and commercial spaces throughout Greenwich where appearance and durability both matter.

What Proper Installation Looks Like in Practice

The walls are prepped first by filling holes, sanding rough spots, and priming the surface to ensure the adhesive bonds evenly and the paper does not lift over time. Each strip is measured and cut with extra length to allow for pattern alignment, then applied from top to bottom while smoothing out air bubbles and pressing seams flat with a specialized roller.

Once the installation is finished, you will notice seams are nearly invisible, patterns line up perfectly across strips, and the surface feels smooth without ripples or bubbles underneath. The room looks cohesive, and the wallpaper sits flat against the wall even in corners and around trim where alignment is trickiest.

Different wallpaper materials require different handling, with vinyl being the most forgiving and grasscloth requiring extra care to avoid tearing or stretching during application. Textured and fabric wallpapers need precise seam placement because misalignment is more visible than with printed patterns. If your project involves high-moisture areas such as bathrooms or kitchens, adhesive selection and surface prep become even more important to prevent peeling or mold growth behind the paper.

Concerns Homeowners Bring Up Before Starting

Before committing to wallpaper installation, most people ask about prep work, how long the job takes, and whether certain wall conditions will cause problems.

How do you prepare walls before installing wallpaper?
Walls are cleaned, patched, sanded, and primed to create a smooth surface that helps the adhesive bond evenly. Proper prep prevents bubbles, peeling, and pattern misalignment once the wallpaper is applied.
What types of wallpaper do you work with?
Gunderson Flooring and Design installs vinyl, fabric, textured, grasscloth, and specialty wallpapers for both residential and commercial projects in Greenwich. Each material requires different handling to achieve clean seams and smooth application.
Why do wallpaper seams sometimes become visible over time?
This usually happens when walls were not properly prepped, adhesive was applied unevenly, or the paper was stretched during installation. Correct prep and technique prevent seams from lifting or becoming noticeable.
How long does wallpaper installation take for one room?
Most single rooms are completed in one to two days depending on wall condition, pattern complexity, and the type of wallpaper being installed. Larger spaces or intricate patterns may take longer to ensure proper alignment.
What happens if the wallpaper pattern does not match at the seams?
Pattern mismatches are avoided by carefully measuring and cutting each strip before it goes on the wall. If a mistake occurs, the strip is removed and replaced to maintain a seamless appearance across your Greenwich space.
