Wallpaper Installation Questions, Answered

Most professional wallpaper installation in the San Antonio area runs between $3 and $8 per square foot for labor, depending on the material, wall condition, and pattern complexity. Specialty materials like grasscloth, silk, or large-scale murals sit at the higher end, while standard paste-the-wall vinyls cost less. Valora provides a firm written quote after a free on-site measure, and wall preparation is always itemized up front — never added later.

No. On-site measures and consultations are completely free anywhere in our service area, from San Antonio and Schertz to New Braunfels and Canyon Lake. We measure your walls, review surface condition, calculate exact roll counts, and deliver a written quote — with zero obligation.

A single accent wall usually takes half a day. A full room takes one to two days including preparation, and whole-home or commercial projects are scheduled in phases with a clear timeline in your quote. Because we are open every day from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, we can often work around your family or business schedule.

Either works. Many clients order paper through their designer or retailer and we install it; we can also recommend trade suppliers and verify you order the correct quantity, batch, and material for your walls. Before you purchase, send us the pattern — we'll confirm roll counts so you don't overspend.

Yes. Our wallpaper removal and wall prep service uses steam and enzyme solvents to strip old coverings without gouging the drywall, then we skim coat, sand, and prime so the new installation goes onto a flawless surface. You can book removal on its own or as part of an installation project.

We do — it's one of our specialties. Texture must be smoothed with a skim coat before paper can be hung, and older plaster walls, common in historic San Antonio, New Braunfels, and San Marcos homes, often need patching and sealing first. We include the required preparation in your written quote so there are no surprises.

Yes. For offices, restaurants, hotels, and retail spaces we regularly schedule evening, early-morning, and weekend installations so your business never loses a day of operation. Type II commercial vinyl, acoustic wallcoverings, and branded murals are all within our scope.

We serve the entire San Antonio metro and the I-35 corridor: San Antonio, New Braunfels, San Marcos, Schertz, Seguin, Timberwood Park, Cibolo, Canyon Lake, Converse, and Universal City. If you're just outside these areas, call us — we can usually accommodate nearby projects.

Yes. We stand behind our workmanship: seams, edges, and adhesion are covered by our installation guarantee. If a seam lifts or an edge curls due to our installation, we return and make it right at no charge. Material defects are handled through the manufacturer, and we'll help document any claim.
