Preservation mindset & plaster expertise
Working with older homes requires a delicate touch and specialized knowledge. We approach historic properties with a preservation mindset. Older plaster walls often present unique challenges, such as cracking or uneven surfaces. We expertly repair and smooth these walls, using breathable, mold-resistant primers that respect the integrity of the original structure while providing a perfect base for new wallpaper.
Pricing factors
Every project is unique. When we provide a quote, we consider several key factors to ensure accuracy and transparency:
- Total square footage of the installation area
- Condition of the existing walls and required prep work
- Type of wallpaper (e.g., standard vs. delicate grasscloth)
- Complexity of the space (high ceilings, numerous cutouts)
- Need for old wallpaper removal prior to installation
Timeline & prep checklist
To ensure a smooth installation process, here is what you can expect and how to prepare:
- Clear the area: Please remove small furniture, wall hangings, and switch plates.
- Timeline: Most standard rooms are completed in 1-2 days.
- Drying time: Allow 24-48 hours for adhesives to fully cure before moving furniture back against the walls.
- Ventilation: We recommend keeping the area well-ventilated during and immediately after installation.

FAQ
Common questions about this service.
Can you wallpaper over old plaster?
Yes, but it requires extensive preparation. We repair cracks, skim coat for smoothness, and apply specialized primers before hanging paper.
How do you handle lead paint concerns?
If lead paint is suspected, we follow safe work practices to encapsulate the surface without creating hazardous dust during preparation.
Will modern wallpaper damage my historic walls?
Not if properly installed. We use specific primers (wall sizing) that protect the wall surface and allow for easier removal in the future.
Do you restore existing historic wallpaper?
We specialize in the preparation and installation of new wallpaper. We do not typically restore antique paper that is already on the wall.
How long does prep take on an older home?
Wall preparation in historic homes often takes longer than the installation itself, sometimes requiring several days of patching and curing.
Can you match period-specific reproduction papers?
Yes, we frequently install high-end reproduction wallpapers and understand the specific handling they require.
What if my walls are very uneven?
We use skim coating techniques to create a smooth, plumb surface, which is essential for a professional wallpaper finish.
Do you work in historic districts like Winter Garden?
Yes, we have extensive experience working in the historic neighborhoods throughout Central Florida.
