Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in your wallcovering service?
Moorhouse Coating provides professional surface preparation including Level 4 drywall finishing, old wallpaper removal, damage repair, premium primer application (ROMAN PRO-977), and wall liner installation when needed. We then coordinate with our certified installer partners who handle material acclimation, adhesive application, pattern matching, and professional installation. You get a single point of contact managing the complete project.
Do you install all types of wallcovering?
Yes, we support all wallcovering types: Commercial Type II vinyl (54-inch width), premium grasscloth and natural fibers (seagrass, jute, bamboo), fabric wallcoverings (linen, textiles), and decorative wallpapers. Each material type receives appropriate surface preparation and is installed by specialists experienced with that specific material.
How long does wallcovering installation take?
Timeline depends on project size, material type, and surface condition. A typical residential room (200-300 sq ft) with standard preparation takes 2-3 days including prep work and installation. Commercial projects vary based on square footage—professional crews can install 340-400 sq ft per day under standard conditions. Grasscloth requires additional time for 24-hour environmental acclimation before installation.
What surface preparation is required for wallcovering?
Proper surface preparation is critical for wallcovering success. We provide: (1) Drywall finished to Level 4 smoothness, (2) Complete removal of old wallpaper and adhesive residue, (3) Repair of holes, cracks, and surface damage, (4) Premium wallpaper primer application (ROMAN PRO-977), (5) Wall liner installation for grasscloth and premium materials. Surfaces must be clean, smooth, dry, and free of mold or mildew.
Can you remove existing wallpaper?
Yes, professional wallpaper removal is one of our core services. We completely remove old wallpaper and all adhesive residue, repair any surface damage caused during removal, smooth and prep the surface to Level 4 finish, and apply appropriate primer. The surface is then ready for new wallcovering or painting.
How much does wallcovering installation cost?
Costs vary by material type and project scope: Budget vinyl: $1.50-$4.00/sq ft (prep + materials + installation), Mid-range fabric: $4.00-$9.00/sq ft, Premium grasscloth: $8.00-$22.00/sq ft. Commercial projects typically have lower per-square-foot costs due to economies of scale. Use our wallpaper calculator for a detailed estimate based on your specific room dimensions and material choices.
What's the difference between commercial and residential wallcovering?
Commercial wallcovering (Type II) is designed for high-traffic durability, cleanability, fire ratings, and safety compliance. It typically uses 54-inch wide vinyl with specialized commercial adhesives. Residential wallcovering includes decorative wallpapers, grasscloth, and fabric options focused on aesthetics and design. We handle both commercial and residential projects with appropriate materials and installation methods for each application.
Do you serve all your locations for wallcovering?
Yes, wallcovering services are available across all our locations: Phoenix, Los Angeles, Dallas, Denver, Seattle, Austin, San Diego, Portland, and surrounding areas. We maintain certified installer partnerships in each market to ensure consistent quality regardless of location.
