We Install Wallpaper Built to Handle Santa Barbara’s Older Walls and Coastal Humidity, With the Prep and Precision to Make It Last .
Wallpaper adds texture, pattern, and character that paint alone can’t match, but a poor installation shows every seam, bubble, and misaligned pattern within weeks. R&R Painting and Wallpaper provides professional wallpaper installation and removal for homes and businesses throughout Santa Barbara, CA, with the surface prep and technique needed for a clean, lasting result.
We work with a wide range of wallpaper types, from bold accent patterns to subtle textured wall coverings, adjusting technique and adhesive based on the material and the wall it’s going on. Whether it’s a single feature wall or a full room, the same attention to prep, alignment, and seam work applies, so the pattern lines up cleanly from wall to wall and holds up over time instead of separating or bubbling at the edges.
We install wallpaper in homes throughout Santa Barbara, including accent walls, powder rooms, dining rooms, and full room applications, with careful pattern matching and seam work for a polished result.
We handle office wallpaper installation and wallpaper for retail and hospitality spaces across Santa Barbara, scheduled around business hours to minimize disruption to daily operations.
Wallpaper installation is a different discipline from painting, and it’s not one every general painting company does well. Success depends on wall condition, pattern matching at seams, and adhesive selection suited to the wallpaper type, since vinyl, grasscloth, and traditional paper all behave differently during application.
In Santa Barbara’s older homes, particularly those with original plaster walls in neighborhoods like the Riviera and downtown’s historic districts, surface prep matters even more, as uneven or textured plaster needs to be smoothed or lined before wallpaper will lie flat and seams will sit properly. Skipping this step is the most common reason wallpaper installations start peeling or showing visible seams within the first year.
Our wallpaper installation process focuses on careful preparation, precise placement, and clean finishes for Santa Barbara, CA spaces.
We offer wallpaper hanging for full rooms or accent walls, with close attention to pattern alignment and seam placement, along with installation of textured and specialty wall coverings beyond traditional printed wallpaper. We also handle wallpaper removal, including older adhesive residue, to prepare walls for new wallpaper or paint. Each job is scoped around wallpaper type, wall condition, and room size before we provide a quote.
If you’re replacing old or dated wallpaper, removal is its own process. Rushed removal can damage the underlying wall surface, leaving patch work needed before anything new goes up. We assess the adhesive type and wall condition before removal begins, using the right method to strip wallpaper cleanly without unnecessary drywall or plaster damage. This also pairs well with interior painting for clients switching to a fresh paint finish instead.
