On this episode, we'll get into the top six things to share when requesting a wallpaper quote. These key factors should be to considered to ensure you receive accurate and comprehensive pricing. Here are six important things you need to know:

Project Location: be sure to ask the installer if they serve your area
Room Dimensions: Measure the dimensions of the room you want to wallpaper. Provide the height, width, and length of each wall individually to help the installer calculate the total square footage needed for the project.
Wall Condition & Preparation: Assess the current condition of your walls. Note any damages, imperfections, or repairs needed before wallpaper installation. This information will help the installer determine if any additional preparation work is necessary. Understand if any wall preparation is required before wallpapering. This can include tasks like removing existing wallpaper, patching holes, sanding, or priming the walls. Be clear about whether you will handle these tasks yourself, hire a separate handyman or if you expect the installer to do them.
Wallpaper Sourcing: Are you asking the installer to purchase wallpaper for you or do you already have it. If you have not purchased yet, ask if you should have the wallpaper shipped to the installer's address or your own.
Wallpaper Type & Pattern Match: Determine the type of wallpaper you want to use, such as vinyl, fabric, textured, or specialty wallpaper. Each type may have different installation requirements and price points. If your chosen wallpaper has a pattern or design, inquire about the pattern match type. There are different pattern match options, such as straight match, drop match, or random match. Knowing the pattern match type helps the installer estimate the amount of wallpaper needed and the complexity of installation.
Timeline and Accessibility: Discuss your preferred timeline for the project and any potential constraints. Additionally, provide information about the accessibility of the space, including stairs, tight corners, or limited maneuverability. These details can affect the overall labor costs.

By knowing and communicating these six crucial details when requesting a wallpaper quote, you can ensure that the quote you receive accurately reflects the scope of the project and helps you make informed decisions.

A year from now, you'll wish you had started today!
