Wallpaper Installation in Highland Park, IL

Designers across the North Shore are putting wallpaper back on the walls, and Highland Park homeowners are leading the way. The catch: the same features that make Highland Park homes special — 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 — make them demanding canvases. Older surfaces and detailed trim call for a hanger who preps, plumbs, and pattern-matches 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.
