Wallpaper Installation in Des Moines

Wallpaper installation is a craft that goes far beyond simply pasting paper to a wall. In Des Moines, where older neighborhoods like Beaverdale feature original plaster walls with subtle imperfections and newer developments like Arbor Peaks offer smooth drywall, the process must be adapted to the specific surface. Proper installation begins with a thorough assessment of the substrate: old wallpaper must be completely removed, walls must be cleaned of adhesive residue, and any cracks, holes, or uneven texture must be filled and sanded. For Des Moines homeowners, especially those with historic properties, this preparation is critical because plaster walls often have uneven surfaces or layers of paint that can cause new wallpaper to bubble or peel if not addressed.

The installation itself involves measuring and cutting strips to match the pattern repeat precisely, applying the correct adhesive for the wallpaper type (whether it is vinyl, grasscloth, or a textured non-woven material), and hanging each panel with careful attention to alignment. Seams must be rolled flat without stretching the paper, and corners require special techniques to avoid wrinkling. In Des Moines’ climate, where humidity can fluctuate dramatically between summer and winter, the adhesive and wallpaper must also acclimatize to the room’s environment before installation to prevent future lifting. This attention to detail is why wallpaper installation in Des Moines properties is not a weekend DIY project—it requires a trained eye to ensure the pattern flows continuously across the room and that the finished look remains intact for years.
