Wallpaper at altitude needs more thought
Dry mountain air shortens working time on traditional adhesives. Seams and corners that would be forgiving at sea level can lift or curl in a Breckenridge home. Right adhesive selection, longer dwell times, and proper substrate prep handle it.
Prep is where the job wins or loses
We sand, fill, and prime walls, even walls that already had paper on them, so the new adhesive is bonding to a stable surface. Texture gets skim-coated smooth before paper goes up.
What we install
Pasted papers, peel-and-stick, grasscloth and natural fiber, vinyl, large-format murals, and removable papers. Pattern matching at corners and ceilings is part of the job, not an upcharge.
Removal is half our wallpaper work
Mountain homes from the 80s and 90s often have multiple layers to come off. Homeowners trying to DIY it usually call us mid-frustration. We remove cleanly, repair the wall surface, and either re-paper or hand the prepped wall back for paint.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you remove old wallpaper?
Yes. Wallpaper removal is half our wallpaper work. Mountain homes from the 80s and 90s often have multiple layers, and DIY removal usually goes badly. We strip cleanly, repair the wall surface, and either re-paper or hand the prepped wall back for paint.
What kinds of wallpaper can you install?
Pasted papers, peel-and-stick, grasscloth and natural fiber, vinyl, large-format murals, and removable papers. If you have a specific paper picked out, we can work with it. If you don't, we can recommend brands that hold up at altitude.
Will the seams hold in dry mountain air?
Yes, if it's installed right. Dry mountain air shortens working time on traditional adhesives and seams that would be forgiving at sea level can lift in a Breckenridge home. We use the right adhesive, longer dwell times, and proper substrate prep so the install lasts.
Can you wallpaper an accent wall and paint the rest?
Yes. Accent walls are common in mountain bedrooms and powder rooms. We coordinate the paper with the surrounding paint color, match trim, and finish the room as one piece of work.
Do you handle pattern matching at corners and ceilings?
Yes. Pattern matching at corners, ceilings, and around windows and doors is part of the install, not an upcharge. We plan the layout before we start so the pattern lands where it should.
