Expert Wallcovering & Wallpaper Installation

Wallpaper is having a major moment across the North Shore, and hanging it well is a true craft — one that separates a stunning feature wall from a peeling, mismatched mess.

We handle meticulous surface prep, priming, precise pattern matching, and clean seams for homes and businesses in Glenview, Wilmette, Winnetka, Highland Park, and throughout Lake County.

How We Get the Job Done

Our process is designed for safety, efficiency, and quality at every step. We don't cut corners — we follow a proven system that delivers consistent, exceptional results.

Consultation & Measurement

We review your chosen wallcovering, measure every wall precisely, and calculate exact material quantities accounting for pattern repeat and waste — so you order the right number of rolls the first time.

Wallpaper Removal (When Needed)

We carefully strip any existing wallpaper, remove old adhesive, and repair any damage left behind. Hanging new paper over old is a shortcut that always fails — we never do it.

Surface Preparation

We fill holes and cracks, skim coat rough walls smooth, and sand everything flat. With delicate grasscloth and silk, the wall beneath must be flawless because every imperfection telegraphs through.

Priming

We apply a wallcovering-specific primer such as Roman PRO-999 Rx-35 to seal the surface, promote adhesion, and — critically — allow the paper to be stripped cleanly down the road.

Layout & Pattern Planning

We plan the starting point and layout so patterns land beautifully at focal points, corners, and ceilings. Careful planning is what makes grasscloth panels and repeats look intentional.

Precision Installation

We hang each panel with the correct adhesive, book the paper properly, match patterns seam to seam, and smooth out every bubble. Grasscloth and silk are hung with paste-the-wall technique to protect the delicate face.

Trimming, Cleanup & Inspection

We trim crisp edges at ceilings, baseboards, and outlets, wipe down all seams, and inspect every panel in raking light. You do a final walkthrough with us before we call it done.

Materials We Use

We only use professional-grade products from trusted brands. The quality of materials is just as important as the quality of application — and we never compromise on either.

Roman PRO-977 Ultra Clear Adhesive

A strong, strippable clear adhesive ideal for a wide range of wallcoverings — dries clear and repositions easily during installation for perfect pattern matching.

Roman PRO-999 Rx-35 Wallcovering Primer

A pigmented acrylic primer that seals walls, improves adhesion, and makes future removal clean and damage-free — an essential foundation for any quality install.

York Wallcoverings Designer Papers

A trusted American wallcovering brand offering everything from classic prints to modern non-woven papers that are durable and easy to work with.

Thibaut Grasscloth & Print Collections

Premium designer grasscloth, silk, and printed wallcoverings favored by North Shore interior designers for their depth, texture, and color.

Schumacher Luxury Wallcoverings

High-end printed, hand-blocked, and textured wallcoverings for statement rooms — installed with the care these investment materials deserve.

Advance Equipment Smoothing & Seam Tools

Professional smoothing brushes, seam rollers, and snap-blade trimmers that deliver bubble-free panels and razor-clean seams every time.

Why Betitos Is the Best Choice

We always prime with a wallcovering-specific primer — it protects your walls and makes future removal painless.

Grasscloth and silk demand a flawless substrate — we skim and sand walls perfectly smooth before a single panel goes up.

We match patterns seam to seam and plan layout so repeats land beautifully at focal points.

We use paste-the-wall techniques on delicate materials to keep adhesive off the fragile face of the paper.

Clean, tight seams with no overlaps, gaps, or curling edges — the mark of a true paperhanger.

Fully licensed and insured, with hundreds of feature walls hung across the North Shore and Lake County.
