Mastering the Art of Installation

Precision Wallcovering Experts

Hanging high-end wallcoverings leaves zero room for error. A single trapped air bubble, a mismatched geometric pattern, or an incorrectly pasted seam can completely ruin thousands of dollars of designer materials.

At Empire Painting Contractors, we don't treat wallpaper as an afterthought—it's a specialty. Serving New Jersey and NYC, our master installers expertly handle the most demanding materials. From delicate natural silks that stain easily to heavy 54-inch commercial vinyls, we ensure perfectly plumb lines and invisible seams every single time.

The Empire Advantage

Why Our Installations are Flawless

Meticulous Wall Prep

Wallpaper highlights wall defects; it doesn't hide them. We meticulously skim coat, sand, and apply specialized primer (sizing) to ensure a perfectly smooth substrate and optimal adhesion.

Exact Pattern Matching

We are experts in complex drop matches. We meticulously calculate the repeat and align intricate geometric or floral designs so the pattern flows seamlessly across the entire room.

The Right Adhesives

Using the wrong paste can permanently stain delicate fabrics. We identify exactly which clay, clear, or heavy-duty adhesive is required for your specific material type.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We highly advise against hanging new wallpaper over old wallpaper. The moisture from the new adhesive can reactivate the old paste, causing both layers to bubble and peel off the wall. We offer professional wallpaper removal and wall prep as part of our service.

Absolutely. Grasscloth, silk, and natural linens require a highly specialized approach because they cannot be wiped clean if adhesive gets on the front face. Our master installers use strict "clean hands" techniques and specialized pastes to flawlessly hang these delicate materials.

Yes, but not immediately. Wallpaper must be applied to a completely smooth surface; otherwise, the underlying bumps will telegraph right through the paper. We solve this by applying a Level 5 skim coat over your textured walls to create a perfectly flat canvas before installing the paper.
