D&D Decorators provides wallpaper removal and installation services from our Brunswick office throughout Glynn County and the Golden Isles, including Brunswick, St. Simons Island, Sea Island and Jekyll Island.
For projects requiring both repair and painting, our team can handle the work through the finished surface rather than leaving homeowners to coordinate separate contractors.

Professional Wallpaper Installation
Wallpaper shows everything behind it. Nail pops, patched holes, uneven texture and old seams can all show through the finished wall, especially on thin papers and anything with a sheen.
Before a roll goes up, D&D repairs and smooths the wall, then applies a wallcovering primer. The paper bonds properly now and can be removed later without tearing the drywall. When the room also needs paint, that work is part of our complete interior painting services.
If the room still has old wallpaper, we take it down first and repair whatever it was hiding. See wallpaper removal and wall prep.

Every wallcovering handles differently. Some are pasted on the wall, some on the back of the paper, and some need extra care at the seams so the edges don’t show. D&D looks at the paper you’ve chosen and the wall it’s going on before setting the installation scope.
What Happens Before the First Strip Goes Up
Most of the work that decides how wallpaper looks happens before the paper touches the wall.
Measuring & Ordering
Running short partway through a room is a common problem, because a reorder can come from a different print run in a slightly different color. We measure, account for the pattern repeat and waste, and tell you how many rolls to buy.
Wall Repair & Smoothing
Holes, cracks, failed patches and uneven texture are repaired and sanded smooth, because anything left on the wall will show through the paper.
Primer Made for Wallcovering
A wallcovering primer helps the paper grip the wall, gives time to position each strip, and protects the drywall when the paper eventually comes down.
Layout & Pattern Planning
Before we cut, we decide where the pattern starts and where the last seam lands. We center it on the wall people see first, and the mismatch falls in the least visible corner.
Why Choose D&D for Wallpaper Installation?
Most wallpaper rooms need more than paper: the trim, the ceiling, the other walls, or the cabinets beside an accent wall. D&D is a painting contractor, so the painting and papering are scheduled as one project, in the right order.
Wall repair, priming, layout and hanging are handled by the same company that paints the room. The wall is prepared for the finished result, and no one has to touch up paint after the paper is up.

Our Wallpaper Installation Process
How the paper looks depends on the walk-through, the measurements and the wall prep that happen before any paper is hung.
1. Walkthrough & Measurement
We look at the walls, talk through the paper you’ve chosen or are considering, measure the room and tell you how many rolls to order.
2. Scope & Scheduling
You get a written estimate covering any removal, repairs, primer and installation. Once your paper arrives, we schedule the work.
3. Room Protection
Furniture is moved or covered, floors are protected, and outlet and switch covers are removed.
4. Wall Preparation
Old wallpaper is removed if there is any. Holes, cracks and uneven texture are repaired and sanded, and a wallcovering primer is applied.
5. Layout & Hanging
We set where the pattern starts, then cut each strip and match it to the one before. Edges are trimmed clean at the ceiling, trim and openings.
6. Cleanup & Final Walkthrough
Covers go back on, the room is cleaned, and we walk the finished walls with you before the project is closed.
Services That Pair With Wallpaper Installation
Installation is rarely the whole project. These are the services most often included in the same scope:
Wallpaper Removal. New paper should never go over old. The existing wallcovering and its adhesive come off first.
Drywall Repair. Holes, torn face paper, failed patches and cracks are repaired so they don’t show through the new paper.
Priming. A wallcovering primer goes on before the paper, so it bonds properly and can come off cleanly years from now.
Interior Painting. The other walls, trim and doors painted in the same project, before the paper goes up.
Ceiling Painting. Ceilings are painted first, so the top edge of the paper is trimmed against a finished surface.
Cabinet Painting. Built-ins and vanities beside a papered wall painted to match or contrast with the pattern.

What Professional Wallpaper Installation Should Deliver
Seams You Have to Look For
Strips butted tight and matched to the pattern, so the wall reads as one surface.
A Smooth Wall Behind the Paper
Holes, cracks, texture and old seams are repaired first so nothing shows through the finished wallcovering.
One Team Through Painting
Removal, repair, primer, painting and papering are coordinated as one project instead of split between contractors.
Protection of the Surrounding Room
Floors, trim, furnishings, fixtures, and nearby finishes are protected appropriately throughout the work.
Wallpaper Installation Questions Homeowners Commonly Ask
Do you provide wallpaper installation near me?
D&D installs wallpaper in Brunswick and throughout the Golden Isles, including St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Jekyll Island and Darien, as well as Kingsland, St. Marys and Camden County.
Can you hang new wallpaper over old wallpaper?
We don’t recommend it. Seams and loose edges in the old paper show through, and the weight of the new paper can pull the old layer off the wall. We remove the old paper, repair the wall and prime it before installing.
How many rolls of wallpaper do I need?
That depends on the room’s size, the doors and windows, and the paper’s pattern repeat. A large repeat can take more rolls than the square footage suggests. We measure the room and tell you exactly how many rolls to order.
Can you repair the walls before hanging wallpaper?
Yes. Holes, cracks, failed patches and uneven texture are repaired and sanded smooth first, because anything left on the wall shows through the paper. See our drywall repair services.
Do walls need primer before wallpaper?
Yes. A wallcovering primer helps the paper bond, gives time to position each strip, and protects the drywall when the paper is removed years later.
Can you paint the rest of the room too?
Yes. D&D is a painting contractor, so the trim, ceiling and other walls are painted as part of the same project, before the paper goes up. See our interior painting services.
