The short answer
WallStyle Installers hangs wallpaper in Medley, FL homes, from single rooms to hallways, bathrooms and ceilings. We inspect and repair walls, choose products suited to Miami-Dade humidity, and install with matched patterns and crisp edges.
Medley is a compact town in Miami-Dade County, about 18 miles north of where WallStyle Installers is based, and we make the drive regularly to paper rooms for local homeowners. Some want a whole bedroom done in a soft print, others a bathroom in a durable vinyl, a hallway in stripes, or a dining room ceiling. Each job starts with the same honest look at the walls, because the paper is only as good as the surface under it.
What we check on the walls
Every room in Medley has its own history. Some walls have been repainted many times, some carry leftover paste from earlier wallpaper, and some have patches from moved outlets or removed fixtures. We check for each of these before quoting a schedule, because each one changes the prep.
- Glossy paint that needs deglossing or a bonding primer
- Old adhesive residue that would keep new paste from setting
- Cracks, nail pops and taped drywall seams that could telegraph
- Damp spots on exterior block walls or below windows
- Out-of-plumb corners and wavy ceilings that affect pattern layout
Matching products to Medley rooms
Not every paper belongs in every room, especially in a climate that is warm and humid most of the year, with the heaviest moisture from May through October. For bathrooms and kitchens we usually point people toward solid vinyl, which shrugs off splashes and can be wiped down. Bedrooms, living rooms and offices are ideal for non-woven papers, which hold their size when pasted and strip off in one piece years later. Traditional printed papers and specialty finishes such as metallics, flocks and natural fibers are best kept to dry, air-conditioned rooms with little contact.
If you have already chosen a paper, we will look at the label for its installation instructions and tell you if the room is a good match. If it is not, we will suggest a similar look in a more practical material.
Installation day, start to finish
We arrive, protect your floors and furniture, and switch off power to any outlets we will be cutting around. Walls are repaired, sanded and primed with a primer designed for wallcoverings. While that dries, we check every roll for the same batch number and look for printing flaws before cutting.
Strips are cut with extra length for trimming and hung from a plumb line. We match the pattern at eye level, where mismatches are most noticeable, and plan the room so the final seam ends in a low-visibility spot such as behind a door or above a cabinet. Seams are rolled flat, edges are trimmed straight, and paste is cleaned off trim, ceilings and the face of washable products. Cover plates go back on, and we leave the room tidy.
Bathrooms and small bedrooms are usually a single day. Larger rooms, tall stairwells and ceilings are planned with extra time and the right ladders or platforms.
Keeping new wallpaper in good shape
Run the AC at a steady setting for a few days so the adhesive can cure evenly. In bathrooms, use the exhaust fan during and after showers. During hurricane season, which lasts from June 1 to November 30, a long power outage can let indoor humidity build up; once power is back, cool and dry the house before opening windows. If storm water ever soaks a wall, let it dry completely and have the paper checked before any repairs.
Around Medley
Our installers also work in Hialeah Gardens, Doral, Hialeah, Miami Springs and Sweetwater. Send photos of the room and the paper you like, and we will help you plan the job.
A few details make that first conversation more useful: the room's rough dimensions, whether the walls are painted drywall or plaster over block, the brand and pattern name of the paper if you have one, and any spots that worry you, such as a stained corner or a wall that always feels cool to the touch. With that information we can tell you whether prep is likely to be light or involved, roughly how much time to set aside for the job, and whether the product you picked suits the room before you spend money on rolls.
