Wallpaper Installation in Highland Park, IL

Wallpaper is back, and in Highland Park it's being used the way it deserves — as a statement, not an afterthought. Highland Park is known for one of the North Shore's most distinctive communities, with wooded ravine lots, the Ravinia Festival, and homeowners with a sharp eye for quality, and the homes here feature an architecturally rich mix — from historic Ravinia-area homes and mid-century modern gems to lakefront estates — where every project calls for finishes that respect the architecture. That kind of housing stock is a wallpaper installer's dream and a novice's nightmare: plaster walls, uneven older surfaces, and detailed trim all demand a hanger who knows how to prep, plumb, and pattern-match by hand.

Betitos Painting, led by Magdiel Rivera, installs everything from delicate grasscloth and designer wallpaper to full-wall murals throughout Ravinia, Braeside, Sherwood Forest, and the east-side ravine neighborhoods. We size and skim walls first, book the paper properly, keep seams tight and patterns aligned across corners, and treat expensive rolls like the investment they are. Grasscloth in a Highland Park dining room or a bold mural in a powder room only looks right when the substrate underneath was done right.

We also handle the job most homeowners dread: wallpaper removal. Peeling back decades of old paper off Highland Park plaster without gouging the wall takes patience and the right technique — and when we're done, we leave a smooth, primed surface ready for new paper or paint.
