Wallpaper projects in Tacoma
Tacoma has a large stock of older homes alongside new condos and commercial buildings. Many projects here involve plaster walls, old wallpaper and detailed trim.
Tacoma homes and what they need
Common home types: historic homes in the North End and Stadium District, Craftsman and mid-century houses, condos at Point Ruston (Ruston), commercial buildings downtown.
Older Tacoma houses often have plaster walls and several layers of wallpaper or paint. Plaster can be papered well once it is sound and primed, but cracks and loose areas need repair first. Photos and measurements let us discuss the preparation and how long the work will take.

Wallpaper Installation in Tacoma: Older Homes, Plaster and Commercial Spaces
Tacoma has one of the largest stocks of older homes in the region, especially in the North End, the Stadium District and around Proctor, along with new condos at Point Ruston and commercial buildings downtown. Many Tacoma projects involve plaster walls, layers of old wallpaper and detailed trim, which shape both the preparation and the schedule.
What we review before quoting a Tacoma project
For a Tacoma estimate, we review:
- Wall type. Plaster or drywall, and whether the surface is sound.
- Old layers. Wallpaper, borders and paint layers that may need to be removed.
- Trim and details. Picture rails, wainscoting, crown molding and built-ins that the paper has to meet cleanly.
- Measurements and product. Wall sizes and the wallpaper details, so we can check quantity. See our wallpaper roll calculator.
Wallpaper on plaster walls
Plaster can be an excellent base for wallpaper once it is sound. Cracks are repaired, loose areas are secured or patched and the wall is primed so the paste bonds evenly. Old wallpaper on plaster can usually be removed with soaking and scraping, and the surface is then washed and checked. See wallpaper removal in older homes.
In older homes, check under switch plates and outlet covers — you can often see how many layers of paper and paint are on the wall, which helps us estimate removal.
Historic homes, condos and businesses
Dining rooms, entries and stairwells are classic spots for wallpaper in Tacoma’s older homes, and they often have tall walls and detailed trim. See wallpaper for stairwells and tall walls. Condos at Point Ruston (in neighboring Ruston) and downtown usually have smooth drywall and building rules for access.
Restaurants, shops and offices often want feature walls; see commercial wallcovering.

| Stairwell | wallpaper installation | Tall walls, long strips |
| Plaster walls with old paper | wallpaper removal and wall preparation | Cracks, loose plaster |

What affects the cost of wallpaper installation in Tacoma
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 Tacoma 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.
