Margate Wallpaper Installers for Homes and Condos

The short answer

We install, remove and repair wallpaper throughout Margate, about seven miles from our Pompano Beach base. Most Margate jobs start with taking down old coverings or smoothing textured block walls, then hanging new paper that suits a humid, air-conditioned home.

Margate is a short drive for us, about seven miles southwest of Pompano Beach in Broward County, so it is one of the places our crew works most often. Much of the housing in ZIP 33063 is the kind South Florida built for decades: single-story concrete-block houses, ranch layouts with long hallways, and condo buildings with compact kitchens and windowless bathrooms. Those walls have their own habits. Many still carry a layer or two of older paper, a sprayed texture, or paint over glossy vinyl, and getting a clean result means dealing with what is already there before anything new goes up.

Old paper, block walls and the stripping problem

In a Margate house that has had a few owners, it is common to find wallpaper that was hung directly over unprimed drywall. When that happens, the old adhesive bonds to the drywall face, and pulling the paper tears the brown facing right off. We test a corner first, score and soak when it is safe, and switch to slower methods when the wall shows it cannot take steam.

Interior faces of exterior block walls behave differently from drywall partitions. They may be finished with plaster or furred out with board, and each surface takes primer and adhesive differently. We note which walls are which during the first visit so the right products come along on install day.

Smoothing knockdown and orange peel texture

Textured walls are everywhere in this part of Broward. A thin paper laid over orange peel or knockdown shows every bump once light hits it from the side. Our usual fix is a skim coat: one or two thin passes of joint compound, sanded flat, then sealed with a wallcovering primer. On some projects a heavy liner paper does the same job with less dust, and we will explain the trade-off for your room.

Popcorn ceilings come up too, especially when someone wants paper on the ceiling. The texture has to come down and the surface must be refinished first, and that step is part of the plan rather than a surprise.

Choosing paper for a humid Margate home

With air conditioning running most of the year and long wet summers, indoor humidity swings when the system cycles off or a door is left open during an afternoon storm. Bathrooms without exhaust fans take the worst of it. For those rooms we lean toward vinyl or solid-vinyl wallcoverings with a mildew-resistant adhesive. In bedrooms, living rooms and home offices, non-woven papers are a practical middle ground: they hang cleanly, stay dimensionally stable and come off in sheets the day you want a change.

  • Bathrooms and laundry rooms: vinyl wallcovering, sealed seams, good ventilation
  • Kitchens: scrubbable vinyl or coated papers near the range and sink
  • Living and dining rooms: non-woven patterns, grasscloth on a single feature wall
  • Kids' rooms and rentals: peel and stick wallpaper that removes without damage
  • Hallways: durable, wipeable finishes that handle hands and bags brushing by

Everything we offer in Margate

Our Margate customers book the full range of our work: wallpaper installation and removal, accent walls, murals, grasscloth, peel and stick, vinyl wallcovering, ceiling wallpaper, and wall preparation and repair. Businesses along the commercial corridors can also schedule commercial wallcovering for waiting rooms, offices and retail interiors. Because we are close by, a return visit to hang a second room or finish a ceiling after the walls are done is easy to fit in.

Neighboring cities on our regular route

Margate shares borders and roads with North Lauderdale, Coconut Creek and Parkland, and we are often in those cities the same week. We also cover Oakland Park and Deerfield Beach. If your project spans a home in Margate and a rental or office in one of those places, we can line the work up back to back.

What to expect

How a visit goes

  1. Clear scope before work begins

    After measuring and checking the walls, we explain what prep is needed, how many rolls to order and how long the job should take.

  2. Patterns that line up

    We plan seam placement around windows, doors and corners so repeats stay aligned from one strip to the next across the whole room.

  3. Respect for your home

    Drop cloths go down first, paste is wiped off trim as we go, and we leave the room ready to use at the end of each day.

FAQ

Common questions

Don’t see your question? Call (561) 823-3201 and we’ll talk it through.

How far is Margate from your shop?

About seven miles southwest of our base in Pompano Beach, so scheduling site visits and follow-up work is straightforward.

Can you hang wallpaper over textured walls?

Not directly if you want a smooth finish. We skim coat the wall or install a liner first, then prime and hang the paper.

My old wallpaper is tearing the drywall when I pull it. What now?

Stop pulling. That usually means it was hung without primer. We remove the rest carefully, then seal and repair the torn areas before anything new goes up.

What works in a bathroom without an exhaust fan?

A vinyl wallcovering with mildew-resistant adhesive holds up better than paper or natural fibers in that setting.

Do you install peel and stick wallpaper in condos?

Yes. It is a common choice for Margate condos and rentals, and we prep the wall so it sticks evenly and releases cleanly later.

Which ZIP code do you cover in Margate?

We work throughout 33063 and the rest of Margate, along with nearby North Lauderdale, Coconut Creek and Parkland.
