The short answer
WallStyle Installers serves Kendall, ZIP 33176, about six miles from our Miami base, in condos, townhouses and single-family homes. We handle building logistics, removal, wall repair and installation of paper, vinyl, grasscloth and murals.
Kendall covers a wide stretch of unincorporated Miami-Dade County, and the part we serve in ZIP code 33176 sits about six miles from the WallStyle Installers shop. Within that one ZIP you will find condominium buildings, townhouse communities and single-family streets, sometimes within a few blocks of each other. Each housing type brings its own logistics. A condo job may hinge on building rules and elevator access, while a house may hide decades of paint and patches under the surface. We plan around both so the day of installation runs smoothly and the result lasts.
Condo and townhouse projects
Many Kendall condominium associations set working hours, require advance notice for contractors, or ask that elevators be padded when materials come up. We are glad to work within those rules. Let us know what your management office needs, and we will plan the delivery of rolls, ladders and drop cloths accordingly.
Condo walls are often drywall over steel or wood studs, with concrete on exterior and demising walls. Those concrete surfaces stay cool under constant air conditioning and can show slight moisture on humid days, so we check them before choosing a primer. In units with large windows, sun exposure is another consideration, since some papers fade faster than others in strong light.
Single-family homes in 33176
Houses in this part of Kendall frequently have block exterior walls with plaster inside, along with drywall partitions added during remodels. It is common to find a different surface on every wall of the same room. We test each one, because a glossy painted plaster wall and a freshly taped drywall wall need different preparation to hold paste equally well.
Older homes may also carry several generations of decorating underneath the current paint. Wallpaper Removal and Wall Preparation and Repair are often the bulk of the labor: stripping old layers, washing off residue, filling cracks, skimming rough patches and priming the whole surface.
Questions worth asking any installer
Whoever you hire, a few questions will tell you a lot about how the job will go. We are happy to answer every one of them for your project:
- Will you inspect and measure the room before I order material?
- How will you deal with the old paper or paint underneath?
- Which primer do you plan to use, and why?
- How do you handle pattern matching at corners and around windows?
- What do you need from me to prepare the room?
- What happens to the schedule if a storm is forecast?
Choosing materials for Kendall's climate
South Florida has no truly dry season. The months from May through October are hot, humid and full of afternoon thunderstorms, and November through April is warmer and drier. Rooms that run AC all day are friendly to Grasscloth Wallpaper Installation and other natural fibers, while kitchens, bathrooms and laundry areas call for Vinyl Wallcovering Installation.
For renters or anyone who likes to change things often, Peel and Stick Wallpaper Installation is a reasonable option on smooth, primed walls. Accent Wall Installation and Mural Installation are popular in living rooms and bedrooms, and Ceiling Wallpaper Installation can make a small powder room feel intentional. Hurricane season, June 1 through November 30, mostly affects scheduling: if a storm approaches, we reschedule rather than leave fresh paste in a home that might lose power.
Commercial work and neighboring areas
Kendall has no shortage of offices, medical suites and shops, and Commercial Wallcovering Installation covers durable, cleanable surfaces for those spaces. We can phase work to keep a business open.
From Kendall we also serve South Miami, Coral Gables, Cutler Bay, West Miami and Sweetwater, so clients with homes or businesses across several of these areas can coordinate visits. Standard Wallpaper Installation of traditional rolls is available everywhere we go.
