How long does wallpaper installation take?
A single room typically takes one day to complete. Larger projects or rooms requiring extensive wall preparation may take two to three days. During your free consultation, we provide a detailed timeline specific to your project scope and wall conditions. Factors that can extend the timeline include wallpaper removal, plaster repair, and complex pattern matching. We always communicate clearly about scheduling so you can plan accordingly.
Do you remove old wallpaper before installing new wallpaper?
Yes, we offer professional wallpaper removal as a standalone service or as part of a new installation project. Proper removal is essential for achieving a smooth, long-lasting result. We use specialized techniques to protect your drywall or plaster during the removal process. In most cases, we recommend removing existing wallpaper rather than installing over it, as layering can lead to bubbling, peeling, and an uneven finish over time.
Can you install wallpaper on textured walls?
Yes, we can install wallpaper on textured walls, though preparation is key. Depending on the texture type and severity, we may need to skim-coat or sand the surface first to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finished appearance. We assess wall conditions during our free consultation. Our team has extensive experience working with the various wall types found in Buffalo homes, from smooth modern drywall to heavily textured plaster in older properties.
What types of wallpaper do you install?
We install all types of wallcoverings including vinyl, non-woven, pre-pasted, paste-the-wall, grasscloth, silk, fabric-backed, cork, metallic, and commercial-grade materials. Each type requires specific handling techniques that our experienced team has mastered. Whether you are looking for a durable commercial vinyl for a high-traffic space or a delicate silk for a master bedroom, we have the expertise to deliver a flawless result.
Do I need to provide the wallpaper or do you supply it?
We work both ways. You are welcome to purchase your own wallpaper, or we can help you select and order from our network of premium suppliers. We can also advise on quantity calculations to ensure you order the right amount with appropriate overage for pattern matching. Many of our clients appreciate our guidance on material selection, especially when choosing between different substrates for specific room conditions.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, Wallpaper Hanger Fruit Belt is fully licensed and insured. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage, protecting both our team and your property throughout every project. This gives our clients complete peace of mind knowing that their investment is protected from start to finish. Learn more about our company.

We serve the entire Buffalo metropolitan area including Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Tonawanda, Niagara Falls, West Seneca, North Tonawanda, Lockport, Lackawanna, Eggertsville, and Depew. We cover all of Erie and Niagara counties for both residential and commercial projects.
How do I prepare my room before wallpaper installation?
We recommend removing wall decorations, moving furniture away from walls, and ensuring clear access to the work area. Our team handles all technical preparation including priming, smoothing, and any necessary repairs. We provide a detailed prep checklist when you schedule your installation. For historic homes with delicate trim or millwork, we take extra precautions to protect architectural details during the installation process.
