Wallpaper Installation in Northbrook, IL

Wallpaper is back, and in Northbrook it's being used the way it deserves — as a statement, not an afterthought. Northbrook is known for spacious lots, established subdivisions, and homeowners who expect contractor-grade professionalism and clear communication, and the homes here feature large 1960s–90s colonials and sprawling ranches, many with cedar or Masonite siding reaching the age where meticulous scraping, priming, and caulking make the difference between a 5-year and a 15-year paint job. 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 Charlemagne, Mission Hills, and the neighborhoods around the Village Green. 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 Northbrook 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 Northbrook 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.
