Wallpaper Installation in Lantana, FL 33462

The short answer

WallEdge Installation hangs wallpaper in Lantana houses and condos, handling wall repair, priming, layout and installation. We choose primers and adhesives with coastal humidity in mind, so seams stay closed and edges stay down.

Lantana is a small coastal town, and its homes reflect that: older single-story concrete-block houses, newer remodels, and condos where sea breezes and humidity are part of daily life. Wallpaper can look wonderful in all of them, as long as the product and the prep match the setting. WallEdge Installation is based in Boynton Beach, around 4 miles south, and hangs wallpaper in Lantana bathrooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, kitchens, offices and entryways. This page walks through how we plan a room, what we do to the walls, and what you can do to help the paper last.

A walk-through comes first

Every project starts with a look at the room. We check the wall surface by hand and with a light, note what is on the walls now, and talk through how the room is used. A powder room used by guests has different needs than a teenager's bedroom or a kitchen with a busy cooktop.

We also look at the paper you have chosen, or help you narrow down options. The label tells us the pattern repeat, the match type and whether the product is paste-the-wall, pre-pasted or traditional. Those details shape both the roll count and the installation method.

What we do to the walls

In older concrete-block homes, interior walls may be plaster or drywall over furring strips, sometimes with layers of paint and patching from past owners. Newer homes and condos usually have drywall with a light texture. Each surface needs slightly different prep, but the goal is always a smooth, sound, sealed wall.

  • Old wallpaper is removed rather than papered over
  • Holes, cracks and dents are filled and sanded flush
  • Glossy paint is dulled or primed so paste can grip
  • Texture is skim coated where it would show through the paper
  • A wallcovering primer is applied to seal the wall and ease future removal

Layout: where the pattern starts and stops

A full room requires a plan for the pattern. We decide where the first strip goes, usually at a focal point such as the wall opposite the door or the center of a fireplace or window wall, so the pattern sits balanced where people look. From there, strips run in both directions.

Eventually the pattern has to meet itself, and that last seam almost never matches perfectly. We place it in the least noticeable spot, often a corner behind the door or above a doorway. Around windows and doors, we keep strips plumb so the pattern does not tilt, even if the trim itself is a little crooked.

Choosing paper for a coastal town

Humidity here runs high for much of the year, and in the wet season, from May into October, the air rarely feels dry. Breezes off the water carry salt, and homes that open windows bring that moist air inside. Paper choice should reflect that.

Non-woven papers are dimensionally stable and breathe, which helps them handle humidity changes. Vinyl and vinyl-coated papers resist moisture and can be wiped, making them a strong pick for bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms. Delicate printed papers, flocks and natural materials like grasscloth are better saved for dry, air-conditioned rooms with less traffic.

Helping your new wallpaper settle in

For the first few days after installation, keep the air conditioning on at a steady setting and the windows closed. That gives the paste time to cure evenly. In bathrooms, run the exhaust fan during and after showers, now and going forward.

If a storm threatens during hurricane season, which runs June through November, and we have work on the calendar, we will move the date. A newly papered room left without power and AC for days is not ideal, and rescheduling is simple when we are just a few miles away.
