Nobody else in Utah publishes wallpaper prices. We do, so you can plan — and so the number never changes after we've seen your walls without a reason you understand. Everything here is labor and prep; you buy the paper, we hang it.
Ballpark installation labor for a standard non-woven or vinyl paper, including primer and clean-up. Move right as the wall gets harder: already wallpapered (remove first), textured and painted (skim coat first), or both.
| Space | Smooth & wallpaper-ready | Currently wallpapered | Textured & painted | Removal + skim coat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Powder bath (6' × 6' × 9') | $1,200–$1,700 | $1,450–$2,200 | $1,550–$2,450 | $1,800–$3,000 |
| Primary bedroom headboard wall (15' × 10') | $1,050–$1,500 | $1,300–$1,950 | $1,350–$2,200 | $1,600–$2,600 |
| Kids' room or office feature wall (12' × 9') | $1,000–$1,100 | $1,150–$1,400 | $1,200–$1,550 | $1,400–$1,900 |
| Kids' room or office, all walls (12' × 14' × 9') | $2,800–$4,000 | $3,400–$5,200 | $3,600–$5,800 | $4,200–$7,000 |

PLACEHOLDER MATRIX derived from the bands below — confirm the numbers before launch. Ranges are rounded to $50 and assume standard ceiling heights; walls over 10 feet, grasscloth, murals and specialty papers move the number up. Wallpaper is not included. A written price from photos is free and arrives in one business day.
Non-woven, vinyl, pre-pasted and traditional paper on smooth, primed walls.
Sisal, jute, silk, paperweave and fabric-backed papers with double-cut seams.
Scenic panels and custom digital murals, laid out and sequenced.
Overhead and tall work with a two-person crew and a platform.
Scored, soaked or steamed, scraped, paste washed off. One layer; painted-over paper runs high.
Two coats over texture or damage, sanded and primed. Two days.
A powder room or one accent wall with prep and primer.
Shortlist, samples, roll counts and a written price; the fee comes off your install.
1. Wall condition. Smooth and primed is the base. Old paper adds removal. Texture adds a skim coat. Both add both. This is the biggest variable, and the matrix above shows it.
2. Ceiling height. Walls over 10 feet mean taller strips, more waste, and a platform. Two-story entries and stairwells are quoted separately.
3. The paper. Grasscloth, silk, hand-painted panels, metallics and heavy embossed vinyls are slower and less forgiving than a printed non-woven, and they're priced as such.
4. Pattern repeat and match. A big drop-match repeat means more cutting and more waste per strip; it affects the roll count more than the labor, but it matters.
5. Openings and obstacles. Every window, door, outlet, sconce and built-in is an edge to trim. A wall with three windows takes longer than a blank one twice its size.
6. Access and schedule. After-hours commercial work, occupied buildings, and drives to Park City, Heber or Tooele carry a small premium, quoted up front.
Marketplace cost guides average thousands of jobs across the country, most of them by solo hangers who don't prep walls. Ours sit at the specialist end of those ranges, and they include the prep and the guarantee; the difference is that ours are for your wall, not a national average.

Square footage alone under-orders, because pattern repeat and roll size decide how many usable strips each roll gives you. Enter your wall and the paper's specs; we'll confirm the count on a free measure before you order.
Most American papers are sold as double rolls (about 20.5" × 33', roughly 56 sq ft). Check the product page for width, length and repeat.
