Wallpaper installation, removal and design help for Sandy homes — from Historic Sandy to The Cairns — measured, prepped and hung by a licensed Utah crew, with prices you can see before you book.
Sandy grew from a small rail-and-farm town into a suburb starting in the late 1960s, so the bulk of its housing is 1970s-1990s ramblers, split-entries and two-story homes, with larger custom homes on the east bench in areas like Pepperwood, Granite and Hidden Valley near Little Cottonwood Canyon. The Sandy Historic District around Historic Main Street (roughly State Street to 700 East, 8600 to 9000 South) holds Victorian and early-1900s homes on the original townsite. Homes from the 1970s through 1990s commonly have orange-peel or knockdown texture on the walls, while the new mid-rise and townhome construction around The Cairns city center tends toward smooth or light texture.
That's why every Sandy job starts with the wall. Texture gets a skim coat, plaster gets the right primer and a patch where it needs one, new drywall gets sealed — and only then does the paper go up. It's the step that keeps a wallpaper job looking right for a decade, and it's the one most installers can't do because they don't do drywall. We do.
From a single accent wall to a whole home, with the walls prepped first and the seams guaranteed.

5 minutesWe 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 remoteOld 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 daysRolls acclimated, dye lots checked, patterns matched, seams rolled, corners wrapped. Most rooms are papered in a day.
1 day for most roomsYou inspect every seam with the crew lead. We hand you the written guarantee and clean up like we were never there.
15 minutesTextured walls need to be smoothed first, or the texture will telegraph through most papers. We skim-coat the wall with joint compound, sand it flat and prime it, which also makes future removal much easier. Heavier grasscloth or textured vinyls can hide very light texture, but a skim coat is the reliable route.
Yes. Newer construction in Sandy's city center usually has smooth or lightly textured drywall, which takes wallpaper well. Since many of these are attached homes with HOAs, we schedule around any building rules on work hours and deliveries, though the HOA has no say over interior finishes.
