Wallpaper Services
Professional wallpaper installation and removal for walls that express your style. Precise pattern matching, seamless application.
Service Details
Wallpaper is the wall covering material that best expresses personal style and taste in interior design. Whether it is modern geometric patterns, warm floral prints, trendy marble textures, or classic stripe designs, wallpaper creates decorative effects that paint alone cannot achieve. BangBang Painting provides complete wallpaper services including installation (hanging), removal (stripping), and post-removal wall restoration and painting.
Wallpaper installation is a highly technical skill. It requires precise cutting, accurate pattern matching, tight seams without lifting edges, and elimination of bubbles and wrinkles. Large-pattern wallpapers especially demand precision in pattern alignment that directly affects the final result. Our wallpaper specialists have years of experience handling all types including non-woven, paper-backed, vinyl, and premium handmade wallpapers (grasscloth, silk, etc.).
Wallpaper removal also requires professional technique. Improper methods can damage the drywall paper face, leading to extensive skim coat repair afterward. We use professional removal tools and solutions combined with steamers to soften adhesive, efficiently removing wallpaper while protecting wall surfaces. After removal, walls typically need adhesive residue cleaning, damage repair, skim coating, and only then can painting or new wallpaper application proceed.
In New York, many pre-war apartments and brownstone townhouses have multiple layers of old wallpaper. Some walls may have three to five layers from different eras — applying new wallpaper or paint directly over them is never a good choice. We recommend thoroughly removing all old layers, repairing the underlying wall, and then proceeding with new decoration. While this involves more work, it ensures lasting, beautiful results.
We also offer wallpaper selection advisory services. Based on your space dimensions, lighting conditions, decor style, and budget, we can recommend suitable wallpaper brands and patterns. We are familiar with major NYC wallpaper suppliers including Phillip Jeffries, York Wallcoverings, and Brewster Home Fashions, helping you find the best value options.
