A pattern you love on the wall can make your whole room feel different. But a single misaligned seam or a bubble you can't smooth out ruins the look forever. We hang wallpaper the right way — straight, matched, and smooth.
Franklin Park Painting installs wallpaper across Downers Grove, IL starting at $299 per room. The price includes wall prep, pattern matching, trimming, seam rolling, and cleanup. Most rooms take one day. Free estimates and licensed, insured work.
Wallpaper looks incredible when it's done right. When it's done wrong, the seams show, the pattern doesn't line up, and the bubbles never go away. Here's how we do it so you never have to think about that.
We roll every seam flat and tight. No peeling edges. No visible lines where one strip meets the next.
Every pattern gets matched at the seam. We cut for the pattern, not just for the wall. It makes the room look custom.
Smooth walls first. We patch, sand, and prime so the paper sticks and stays.
We use a smoothing tool and proper pressure on every strip. Bubbles get worked out before the adhesive sets.
Old wallpaper coming down? We strip it, prep the wall, and hang new. See our Downers Grove services for removal details.
We've hung wallpaper in the old homes near the Grove and the new builds off the main roads. The age of the house changes how we prep — and we know which approach fits each neighborhood.
Downers Grove homes have different wall surfaces. Some are plaster, some drywall, some have old paper layers underneath. We've seen it all and know how to handle every one. Our crew is based in Franklin Park, about ten minutes from you.
Wallpaper installation is one of the services we offer across the area. Check our Downers Grove painter services page or see the full Cook County painting service area.

Some people want one dramatic wall. Others want a full room. Some are updating a rental unit or an office. We handle all of it the same way: careful, clean, and done right.
One wall or four walls. We match the pattern, trim the edges, and make sure the design flows the way it should. No awkward cuts. No visible joints.

Wallpaper is unforgiving. Every step matters. Here's exactly what we do to make sure it looks perfect.
We look at your walls, measure everything, and check for any issues before we give a price.
Old paper removed, walls patched, sanded, and primed so the new paper sticks properly.
We lay out the pattern before cutting so the design flows and the seams land in the right places.
Strips are cut to exact wall height with extra at the top and bottom for clean trimming.
Paste applied evenly, paper booked to activate the adhesive. No dry spots, no glue blobs.
Strips hung plumb, seams rolled flat, bubbles worked out while the paste is still wet.
Excess trimmed at ceiling, baseboards, corners. Glue wiped off surfaces.
You look at every seam and edge. Anything not right gets fixed before we leave.
If the left side sounds like your room, the right side is what you get when we leave.
Old wallpaper with visible seams or edges lifting. Sometimes the previous owner's work was just rushed.
Edges that are invisible. Rolled flat. The pattern flows without interruption.
Someone hung it without matching the pattern. The repeats don't connect. It looks off no matter where you stand.
Every strip aligns. The pattern follows across the wall naturally.
Cracks, nail holes, and rough surfaces. Paper won't hide them. They show right through.
We patch and smooth everything. The paper goes on a wall that's ready for it.
Some installers quote low and charge extra for pattern matching or prep. We include it all from the start.
"The seams are invisible. I can't even tell where the strips meet."
