Wallpaper Installation in Northfield, IL

Wallpaper is back, and in Northfield it's being used the way it deserves — as a statement, not an afterthought. Northfield is known for a small village that values understated quality — neighbors know each other, and reputation travels fast, and the homes here feature a quiet mix of mid-century ranches, expanded capes, and newer custom homes on generous lots, many with mature landscaping that deserves careful protection during exterior work. 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 the Middlefork neighborhoods, Bracken Lane area, and streets near Clarkson Park. 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 Northfield 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 Northfield 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.
