Portland Wallpaper Experts
Wallpaper Installation Done Right, All Over Portland
Portland's housing stock is unlike anywhere else in the Northwest, and it demands an installer who respects it. The Craftsman bungalows and Foursquares of Laurelhurst, Irvington, and Alameda carry original lath-and-plaster walls that are rarely flat and never forgiving; the condo towers of the Pearl District and South Waterfront pair concrete and skim-coated drywall with strict building access rules; and the Victorians of Nob Hill hide a century of paint layers under their picture rails. Robert's Wallpaper Installation works across all of it every week, adapting surface prep, adhesives, and technique to each wall rather than forcing one method onto every home.
Our climate matters too. Portland's long wet season pushes indoor humidity in ways that punish shortcuts — unsealed seams lift, and the wrong paste fails within a couple of winters. That is why we prime with moisture-appropriate sealers, specify low-VOC adhesives that Portland homeowners rightly insist on, and steer you toward materials that hold up in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. It is also why removal jobs here need patience: steaming and stripping decades-old paper from plaster without gouging it is slow, careful work, and we treat it as the foundation of the finish rather than an afterthought.
Whether you are papering a single accent wall in Sellwood-Moreland, restoring period-appropriate patterns in a Ladd's Addition historic home, or fitting out a storefront downtown, the process is the same: exact measurement, honest fixed pricing, meticulous prep, and seams you will not find without looking for them. We hang everything from budget-friendly non-wovens to designer grasscloth, silk, murals, and commercial Type II vinyl — and we are happy to advise on pattern scale and material choice before you order a single roll.
We also travel well beyond the city core. Homeowners and businesses in Lake Oswego, West Linn, Beaverton, Happy Valley, and Camas book us regularly. If you are anywhere in the Portland metro and want walls done properly the first time, call (971) 318-4447 for a free on-site estimate.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Most Portland projects run between $400 and $1,200 per room depending on wall condition, material, and pattern complexity. Grasscloth, murals, and high-repeat patterns sit at the upper end. We confirm an exact fixed price at a free on-site estimate before any work begins.
Either works. You can supply your own paper, or we can source it through our trade accounts, which often means designer books at better pricing. If you supply it, we tell you exactly how many rolls to order so you avoid dye-lot mismatches.
Yes. Much of our work is in Craftsman bungalows and Foursquares with original lath-and-plaster walls. We skim-coat, sand, and prime with the right sealers so the paper bonds cleanly and the wall’s history stays protected underneath.
A single accent wall usually takes half a day. A full room takes one to two days including surface prep. Larger homes and commercial spaces are scheduled in phases, and we give you a firm timeline in writing with your estimate.
Yes. We handle full removal — stripping, adhesive wash-down, wall repair, and priming — whether or not we install the new paper. Clean removal is the step most DIY jobs get wrong, and it is the foundation of a flawless finish.
It can if the wrong adhesive or unsealed edges are used. We use moisture-appropriate primers and adhesives, seal seams properly, and recommend the right materials for bathrooms and other humid rooms, so paper stays flat through the long wet season.
Yes. Robert’s Wallpaper Installation is fully licensed and insured for both residential and commercial work in Oregon and across the river in Washington, and we can provide certificates of insurance for condo buildings and commercial properties.
We serve all of Portland plus the surrounding metro, including Lake Oswego, West Linn, Beaverton, Happy Valley, and Camas across the river in Washington. If you are nearby but not listed, call us — we likely cover your area too.
