The process

From five-minute booking to the walk-through.

No mystery, no 'we'll call you back.' Here is exactly what happens, in order, with how long each part takes.

The process

How a SwiftHand wallpaper job goes

1

Book or send photos

Pick a route-friendly time online, or send three photos and your wall size for a written price in one business day.

5 minutes
2

Measure & sample

We measure the walls, confirm the roll count against your paper's repeat and roll size, and help with samples if you're still choosing.

30–60 minutes on site, or remote
3

Prep the walls

Old paper off, repairs, skim coat if the wall is textured, then a wallcovering primer so the paper sticks now and comes off clean later.

Same day to 2 days
4

Hang it right

Rolls acclimated, dye lots checked, patterns matched, seams rolled, corners wrapped. Most rooms are papered in a day.

1 day for most rooms
5

Walk-through & guarantee

You inspect every seam with the crew lead. We hand you the written guarantee and clean up like we were never there.

The details people ask about

Booking

The online calendar only shows times that fit a tight route near you, so we're never late from the other side of the valley. You'll get a text confirmation and a reminder the day before.

The measure

Thirty to sixty minutes. Every wall, every opening, the texture, the paint's age, where the outlets and sconces sit. If you already have the paper, bring the roll or the link; we check the repeat and roll size and give you the count. If the walls need removal or a skim coat, it's in the written price that day.

Before we arrive

Clear small items off surfaces and take art off the walls; we move furniture and cover everything. Have the paper in the room 24 hours ahead so it acclimates — or let us receive it.

Install day

Floors covered, plates pulled, walls checked and primed if not already, layout marked with a laser, then the hang. Most rooms are one day. We clean as we go and take the trash with us.

The walk-through

You and the crew lead look at every seam and corner together. Anything you don't love gets fixed then. You get the written guarantee and a one-page care sheet for your paper, and we'll ask for a review by text the next day.

FAQ

Scheduling questions

How far out are you booking?
<p>It varies by season — January and late summer are busiest. The online calendar shows real availability.</p>
Do I need to be home?
<p>For the measure, yes, briefly. For the install, most people aren't; we just need access and a phone number.</p>
What if my paper hasn't arrived?
<p>We schedule the install after the paper is in hand and inspected. If it's delayed, we move the date — no charge.</p>
Can you do removal and install in one visit?
<p>Removal needs drying time before repairs and primer, so it's usually two visits a few days apart, scheduled together.</p>
