The short answer
WallEdge Installation serves Atlantis, about five miles north of our Boynton Beach base, with wallpaper hanging, removal, wall repair, murals and accent walls. We measure, prep the surface, control indoor humidity and hang each product to its own instructions.
Atlantis sits roughly five miles north of our Boynton Beach shop, a short drive up through Palm Beach County. That closeness shapes how we work here: we can stop by to measure one afternoon, come back with samples a few days later, and still plan the hanging around your schedule instead of ours. WallEdge Installation hangs, removes and repairs wallcoverings for Atlantis homeowners who want a room to feel finished, not just painted. Below is how a typical project unfolds, from the first walk-through to the last trimmed seam, plus a few notes on what our humid climate asks of every wall.
Step one: a walk-through before anything is ordered
Most Atlantis jobs start with a visit. We look at the walls in raking light, tap for hollow spots, note outlets and trim, and measure every run so the roll count matches the pattern repeat. A large-scale botanical with a long drop uses far more material than a small geometric, and ordering short is the fastest way to end up with mismatched dye lots.
We also ask how the room is used. A guest bedroom that stays closed most of the week behaves differently from a kitchen nook next to a dishwasher vent, and that changes which paper and which adhesive we recommend.
Step two: getting the surface ready
Many houses in this part of the county have textured drywall or painted concrete block. Neither takes wallpaper well straight out of the can. Texture telegraphs through thin papers, and glossy paint lets adhesive slide. Our prep usually looks like this:
- Removing old wallpaper and scrubbing off leftover paste so it cannot reactivate later.
- Skim-coating or sanding texture until the wall reads flat under a work light.
- Patching nail pops, anchor holes and cracks along block joints.
- Rolling a wallcovering primer that lets the next owner strip the paper without tearing drywall.
Step three: hanging, trimming and the details people notice
Hanging day is the quiet part. We plumb a line from the least visible corner, book each strip for the time its manufacturer specifies, and match the pattern at eye level where mistakes show first. Grasscloth gets hung with the natural shade shifts expected of a woven fiber; vinyl and commercial-grade coverings get seams rolled tight so they do not lift in damp air.
Ceilings, stairwells and murals take extra planning. A mural arrives in numbered panels that must land in order, and a ceiling paper needs scaffolding and a second set of hands. We tell you in advance which of these apply so the day has no surprises.
Why the calendar matters in Palm Beach County
From May through October our region is hot, humid and wet, with thunderstorms rolling in most afternoons. Paper absorbs moisture, adhesive dries slower, and seams can open if a house goes from damp to dry too quickly. We ask Atlantis homeowners to keep the air conditioning running steadily before, during and for a couple of days after installation rather than switching it off to save power.
Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. If a storm watch forces shutters up or power off, we reschedule rather than hang paper into a house that may lose cooling for days. November into April, when the air is drier, is an easy window for large or delicate projects.
Matching the material to the room
Part of the walk-through is talking through what will actually survive each space. A powder room with no window and a shower nearby is a poor home for unsealed grasscloth, while a dry dining room shows off woven texture beautifully. Scrubbable vinyl suits a mudroom or a hallway where kids drag backpacks along the wall. Peel and stick works for a renter or for someone who likes to change a look every couple of years, as long as the wall underneath is smooth and the paint has fully cured.
Accent walls are a common first project in Atlantis homes. One wall behind a bed or a sofa takes a bold pattern without overwhelming the room, uses fewer rolls, and lets you live with a print before committing to a whole space. If you love it, the adjoining walls can follow later with the same dye lot if you keep a spare roll on hand.
Beyond Atlantis
The same crew covers Greenacres, Lantana, Lake Worth Beach, Lake Clarke Shores and Hypoluxo, so a project in a neighboring town gets the same process. Services include peel and stick panels for renters, accent walls, full-room wallpaper, mural installation, grasscloth, vinyl wallcovering, ceiling paper and commercial wallcovering for offices and shops.
