Wallpaper projects in Kent
Kent combines large residential neighborhoods with a busy commercial and industrial valley. We take on home projects and commercial interiors.
Kent homes and what they need
Common home types: family homes on East Hill and West Hill, older houses near downtown, townhomes, apartments and commercial spaces in the valley.
Many projects here are a mix of removal and new installation. Stripping old paper is a separate step with its own preparation: the adhesive is washed off, the surface is checked and repaired, and then primed. Knowing whether removal is involved lets us estimate the full scope.

Local tip: Not sure whether the old paper can stay? Send a close-up of a seam and an edge. Paper that is peeling or bubbling usually needs to come off before new wallpaper goes up.
Wallpaper Installation in Kent: New Wallpaper, Removal or Both
Kent has large residential neighborhoods on East Hill and West Hill, older homes near downtown and a busy commercial valley. Many projects here combine removal of old wallpaper with new installation, and knowing which applies to each wall is the first step in planning the work.
What we review before quoting a Kent project
For a Kent estimate, we look at:
- New wallpaper, removal or both. Each wall may need different work. Tell us which walls have old paper.
- Condition under old paper. Some paper peels off cleanly; some takes the drywall face with it and needs repair.
- Wall texture. Textured walls may need a skim coat for smooth or thin papers.
- Commercial requirements. Business hours, material specifications and access for commercial wallcovering.
What wallpaper removal involves
Removal is a separate step with its own preparation. The old paper is scored or peeled, the backing and adhesive are soaked and scraped off, and the wall is washed. Any torn drywall paper is sealed so it does not bubble, then patched, skimmed where needed and primed. Only then does the new wallpaper go up. See wallpaper removal for details.
If you are not sure whether the old paper can stay, send close-ups of seams and edges. Paper that is peeling, bubbling or painted over usually needs to come off; see removing painted-over wallpaper.
Homes and commercial spaces in Kent
Family homes on the hills are often from the 1970s through the 2000s, with textured drywall and sometimes old paper in kitchens and baths. Townhomes and apartments are newer and usually need only light preparation.
In the valley, offices, showrooms and other commercial spaces use durable vinyl wallcoverings that can be installed around business hours.
Which services fit common Kent rooms
| Room or space | Typical service | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen or bath with old paper | wallpaper removal | Adhesive residue, moisture |
| Living room | wallpaper installation | Accent wall placement |
| Textured bedroom wall | wall preparation | Skim coat for thin papers |
| Kids room | wall mural installation | Mural size |
| Office or showroom | commercial wallcovering | Durability, hours |
What affects the cost of wallpaper installation in Kent
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 Kent 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
Can new wallpaper go over old wallpaper?
Usually not. Old paper can loosen under new paste and show seams, so it is normally removed first.
What if the drywall tears during removal?
Torn drywall paper is sealed, patched and primed before new wallpaper, so the surface is sound.
Do you work in Kent offices and showrooms?
Yes. Send the material details and access hours, and we will plan the work around them.
Can you remove old wallpaper and install new in one project?
Yes. We remove the old paper, repair and prime the walls, then install the new wallpaper. The estimate lists each step.
How much does wallpaper installation cost in Kent?
It depends on the wall condition, the wallpaper type, the pattern repeat and how complex the room is. Send photos, measurements and your wallpaper details so the estimate reflects your actual walls. Call or text (206) 380-4118.
