The short answer
WallEdge Installation serves Parkland, FL 33067 and 33076, about eighteen miles southwest of our Boynton Beach base in Broward County. We hang, remove and repair wallcoverings, with a focus on durable choices for family rooms, kids' spaces and tall entries.
Parkland sits in northern Broward County, about eighteen miles southwest of our Boynton Beach shop, in the 33067 and 33076 ZIP codes. Unlike the barrier-island towns we serve, it is an inland community where salt spray is not the concern; instead, homeowners tend to ask about busy family rooms, two-story entries, kids' spaces that change every few years, and newer drywall that has never been papered. WallEdge Installation crosses the county line regularly for this kind of work. Here is what we focus on in Parkland homes and why.
Newer drywall needs the right first step
Many Parkland houses have walls that were simply primed and painted by the builder, often with a flat or eggshell finish over a light texture. Hanging directly over that is a gamble. Builder-grade paint can be porous enough to grab paste unevenly, and when the paper eventually comes down it may pull the drywall's paper face with it.
We fix that at the start. Light texture gets knocked down or skim-coated, nail pops and corner bead cracks are repaired, and the wall receives a dedicated wallcovering primer. That layer gives the adhesive a consistent surface and makes later removal far cleaner, which matters in a house where rooms get redone as children grow.
Rooms that take a beating
Mudrooms, back halls, playrooms and stair walls collect backpacks, sports gear and handprints. For those areas we recommend scrubbable materials:
- Type II commercial vinyl in hallways and garage entries where bumps are constant.
- Washable vinyl-coated prints in kitchens and breakfast areas.
- Peel and stick designs for kids' bedrooms, so a theme can change without a full strip and repair.
- Murals on a single playroom or nursery wall, installed in numbered panels.
Two-story foyers and great rooms
Tall entry walls and open great rooms are common in suburban homes of this era. Covering them takes planning and equipment. We set up stable staging, snap plumb lines at several points, and calculate drops that may run far longer than a standard roll is designed for, which affects how many rolls are needed and where seams will fall.
An accent wall can be the smarter move in a very tall space. Papering only the wall behind a staircase or the chimney breast in a family room delivers impact with less material and a shorter installation.
Removing what the last owner chose
Resale homes come with someone else's taste. Border strips in a kitchen, a heavy damask in a dining room, or a dated nursery print are frequent requests for removal. The method depends on what we find. Strippable papers peel off dry; others need scoring, a removal solution and patience; and paper hung over unprimed drywall sometimes takes the wall's face with it, which then needs a skim coat before anything new goes up.
We tell you what we find as soon as the first test strip comes off, so you know whether the room is a simple strip-and-prime or a strip, repair and prime. Either way, the wall that results is smooth, sealed and ready for paint or a fresh wallcovering, and you can decide on the next step without rushing.
Inland humidity is still humidity
Being away from the coast does not make the air dry. South Florida's wet season runs May through October, with heavy afternoon storms most days, and homes rely on air conditioning to keep interior moisture in check. Wallpaper adhesive cures best in that controlled environment, so we ask that the AC stay on and doors stay closed for a day or two after hanging. Bathrooms with weak exhaust fans should get vinyl rather than paper-backed goods.
Hurricane season, June 1 to November 30, also figures into scheduling. If a storm threatens power outages, we will move a hanging day rather than risk a long cure in a hot, closed house.
Crossing into Broward from Boynton Beach
Parkland is one of our longer regular trips, so we plan visits carefully: measuring on one appointment, and returning with materials and a full day blocked out. Along the way we also serve Delray Beach, Gulf Stream, Briny Breezes, Ocean Ridge and Hypoluxo. If you are weighing several rooms, tell us which ones and what you have in mind. We will look at the walls, explain any repairs, and give you a written plan covering removal, prep, ceiling or accent options, and installation.
