Wallpaper projects in Burien
Burien has many mid-century homes along with waterfront properties and newer housing downtown. Texture and existing wall coverings are the two things that most often affect the work here.
Burien homes and what they need
Common home types: mid-century ramblers, waterfront and view homes near Seahurst and Three Tree Point, newer townhomes and apartments downtown.
Orange peel and knockdown texture can show through thinner wallpaper and murals, so the wall may need a skim coat first. Existing wallpaper, paneling or painted-over paper also changes the preparation. Telling us about these up front keeps the estimate realistic.

Wallpaper Installation in Burien: Texture and Existing Coverings
Burien has many mid-century homes, waterfront properties near Seahurst and Three Tree Point, and newer housing downtown. In these homes, two things affect wallpaper work most often: wall texture and what already covers the walls. Both decide how much preparation is needed.
What we review before quoting a Burien project
Before preparing a Burien estimate, we check:
- Wall texture. Orange peel and knockdown texture can show through thin wallpaper and murals.
- Existing coverings. Old wallpaper, borders, paneling or painted-over paper.
- Room photos and measurements. Width and height of each wall, plus windows and doors.
- The selected wallpaper. Thicker papers hide more; thin papers and murals need smoother walls. See skim coating before wallpaper.
Texture and the skim coat
A skim coat is a thin layer of joint compound spread over the wall and sanded smooth. It covers texture and small imperfections so wallpaper lies flat. Not every project needs it: heavier papers can go over light texture, while thin papers, metallics and murals usually need a smooth surface. We recommend it only when the wall and the material call for it. See wall preparation.
To check texture yourself, shine a flashlight across the wall at a low angle and take a photo — the pattern shows clearly.
Mid-century and waterfront homes
Mid-century ramblers often have original or later wallpaper in kitchens and bathrooms, sometimes painted over. Removing it first gives the new paper a sound surface; see wallpaper removal.
Kids rooms and nurseries with murals are popular projects; murals are ordered to size, so measurements come before ordering. See murals versus repeating wallpaper.

What affects the cost of wallpaper installation in Burien
Every estimate is based on the actual walls and material, so there is no single price per roll or per room. These are the factors that change the scope of a Burien project the most:
- Wall area and height. More strips take more time, and walls over about 10 feet need planks or scaffolding.
- Preparation. Removal of old paper, repairs, skim coating and primer are separate steps that can take as long as the installation itself.
- Material. Grasscloth, heavy vinyl, unpasted traditional papers and murals take more care to handle than standard nonwoven papers.
- Pattern and layout. Large repeats, drop matches and rooms with many windows, doors and corners take more cutting and planning.
- Access and timing. Furniture, fixtures, building rules and fixed deadlines affect how the work is scheduled.

Frequently asked questions
Do all textured walls need a skim coat?
No. Heavier papers can go over light texture. Thin papers, metallics and murals usually need a smoother surface.

Sometimes, after the grooves are filled or the wall is lined and primed. Send photos so we can review it.
Do you install murals in Burien?
Yes. Send the mural link and wall measurements before ordering so we can check the size and panel layout.
Can wallpaper go over textured walls?
Light texture can work under some heavier papers. Thin papers and murals usually need a smoother surface, so we may recommend a skim coat.
