What Should I Look For When Choosing A Wallpaper And Wallcovering Professional?

Here at Hangman Wallcoverings we realize how important the aesthetics of your home or business is.

With this in mind, we want you to be completely satisfied with your wallpaper or wallcovering project. Our goal is to not only meet your expectations but exceed them.

As your local wallcovering professionals, we have compiled a checklist of what to look for when choosing a company or installer who will be the right fit for your needs and budget …

Important Considerations When Choosing A Wallcovering Professional

An important part of doing your homework when qualifying a wallcovering installation professional is asking about their experience and level of expertise:

We recommend asking them what types of wallpapers and wallcoverings they have worked with. This will help you determine their expertise level and familiarity with your specific material. For example, if you intend to have grass cloth installed in your space, you want to hire a professional with experience in cloth and textile wallcoverings to ensure you get the best installation.

Another consideration that is important is asking for examples of their completed projects. When it comes to wallcoverings, this is crucial because of the aesthetic factor involved – a picture can speak volumes and in the trade what you see is definitively what you will get in most cases.

Also ask the installer or company about their commitment to ongoing learning of the latest trends and techniques. A good example is the current trend in wallpapering ceilings that is apparent in every home design magazine and show right now. You will get a better finished project if your professional is in-tune with these trends as they stay on the pulse of the trade and are engaged with consumer’s desires.

And Yes, It Is Okay To Ask The Hard Questions

When doing your due diligence, it is important to know what difficult questions to ask your potential installation company. These are the questions that may make you uncomfortable to ask but need to in order to ensure you are making the right decision. A wallcovering installation is an investment in your home that will likely be up for many years to come, so asking the hard questions is crucial. Any reputable installer will gladly and eagerly answer these tough queries without hesitation. If the opposite occurs, and they are hesitant, then that should be a BIG red flag and your cue to move on and continue to look elsewhere.

o   Ask if they can provide you a detailed timeline and cost estimate for your project? This will help you in your budgetary planning. In addition, ask the professional if the quote they give you is guaranteed for a specific time period. We have heard of instances when the quote a client was given was much different than the completed project cost at the end. This is important!

o   Ask if they offer any guarantees for their wallpaper installation services? This is important in establishing trust and accountability for their professional services. It also protects you should something go awry.

o   Ask what information they need to get a quote, and will they conduct an on-site consultation as part of their process? An on-site consultation will guarantee accurate measurements and preparation estimates. It is also good to ask if the consultation is free – Hangman Wallcoverings design consultations are always complimentary …

Last But Not Least, Always Inquire About Credentials When Vetting A Wallpaper Or Wallcovering Professional

Two crucial aspects to determine when interviewing a potential wallpaper or wallcovering professional is “are you licensed” and “are you insured” - These questions are just as important for the professional as they are for the client, as they protect both during all aspects of your project.
