Wallpaper installation services in New Jersey

From a single bathroom to a full office buildout, RCP Wallpaper covers every room and every space.

What we hang

Materials that need an installer who has hung them before

Most of what goes wrong with wallpaper goes wrong because the material was treated like every other material. Grasscloth does not behave like vinyl, a mural does not behave like a repeat pattern, and silk punishes a mistake that a peel-and-stick panel would forgive. These are the ones we work with regularly.

Grasscloth and natural fibers

Sisal, jute and hemp bonded to a paper backing. There is no pattern repeat to line up, so the craft is in the sequencing: panels are reversed to even out the natural shading between rolls, and paste never reaches the face — on grasscloth a smudge does not clean off.

Wall murals and panel sets

Numbered panels that form one image. The wall gets measured and checked for square before the order goes in, because a mural is cut to your wall specifically. Half an inch of drift across six panels is visible from the doorway.

Fabric, silk and textiles

Linen, silk and paper-backed textiles are the least forgiving surfaces in the trade. They go over a liner where the wall calls for it, and the seams are double-cut so the weave reads continuous instead of stopping at every panel.

Commercial vinyl

Type II vinyl for corridors, lobbies and hospitality — the weight that survives carts, cleaning crews and daily traffic. Double-cut seams and the correct primer are what keep the edges from lifting a couple of years in.

Designer and non-woven papers

The papers interior designers specify, where a single roll can cost more than the labor to hang it. Most are non-woven: they hang paste-the-wall and strip dry years later, which is the difference between a repaint and a drywall repair.

Peel and stick

Removable panels for rentals, nurseries and anything meant to change in a few years. Easy to underestimate: the adhesive telegraphs every bump underneath, so the wall prep matters more here than on a traditional paper, not less.

Working with an interior designer or bringing your own paper? Send the spec sheet with your quote request — the material decides the prep, the adhesive and the seam method, so it is worth knowing before we price the job.

The team behind the work

About RCP Wallpaper

RCP Wallpaper does one thing: wallpaper. Not a side offering tacked onto a painting business, but the actual specialty — which is why the crew has spent over ten years on the details other contractors rush past.

It shows in the reviews. Clients keep naming the same things: pattern repeats that line up, seams you have to hunt for, and a room left clean when the work is done.

The part nobody photographs

Wall prep, pattern alignment, and seams

A wallpaper job is judged on the day it finishes and again five years later, and those two verdicts are decided by different things. The first is the pattern. The second is everything that happened to the wall before the paper touched it.

01

Wall preparation

Old paper comes off, holes and cracks are filled and sanded flat, and the wall gets a wallcovering primer — not the leftover paint primer. That primer is what lets a panel slide into position while the paste is still wet, and what lets the paper strip off cleanly years later without tearing the drywall face. Textured walls get skim-coated or lined first, because texture reads straight through the finished paper.

02

Pattern alignment

Every roll is checked for match type — straight, half-drop or random — and the vertical repeat is measured before the first cut, so the pattern is not discovered short halfway up a wall. The first panel goes to a plumb line, never to the corner, because no corner in a real house is plumb. Where the pattern has to break, the break lands where the eye does not travel.

03

Seam finishing

Seams are butted, never overlapped, and double-cut on vinyl and textiles so the two edges meet exactly instead of shadowing. Paste that reaches the surface is cleaned while it is still wet. Corners are cut and restarted on a fresh plumb line rather than wrapped around — wrapping a corner is what sends a pattern running downhill across the rest of the room.

Got questions?

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers about the process, pricing, wall prep, and on-site visits.

How much does wallpaper installation in New Jersey cost?

There's no flat rate: wallpaper installation in New Jersey is priced by room size, wall condition, and the material you pick. Send the form with a few details and you get an exact number before any work begins.

Do you remove old wallpaper before installing new paper?

Yes, removal is part of the service, along with any wall repair the surface needs. Old paper, adhesive residue, and minor drywall damage all get handled before the new material goes up. Skip that step and it shows in the finished seams.

What types of wallpaper do you install?

RCP Wallpaper installs regular, pre-pasted, peel and stick, grasscloth, vinyl, and fabric wallpaper. Each material has its own technique, and the approach shifts to match what you've picked. Not sure which one fits your space? That's exactly what the site visit is for.

How long does a typical installation take?

Most single rooms wrap up in a day, though larger commercial spaces or detailed patterns can run longer. It really comes down to the size of the space and the wallpaper you've chosen. You'll get a time estimate with your quote.

Do you work on commercial properties, not just homes?

Yes — offices, restaurants, and retail spaces get the same treatment as any home. Commercial jobs often run on a tighter schedule, and the crew plans around your business hours when that matters. The attention to detail doesn't change either way.

What areas do you serve?

All of New Jersey and the New York service area. Call or text to confirm coverage in your area.
