FAQ
How is Wallpaper Installation Priced?
Wallpaper materials are priced by the panel, based on predetermined industry height standards or customized to fit your project. This approach saves clients from purchasing excess material—typically around 30%—and allows them to inspect the materials for any issues before the panels are processed for installation. This can help prevent “day-of” problems that might delay or halt the installation.
Wallpaper installation services are priced per square foot of wall or ceiling area, with costs determined by the type of product and the complexity of the room.
What are our Local Installation Rates?
Local installation rates apply within 20 miles of our Wall Covering Centers, or when a SPICER Certified Installer is available in your area.
Do you deduct for windows and doors?
No. We do not deduct for windows, doors, or other wall features. These elements actually make installation more complex and require additional material handling.

Do you Install Wallpaper on Ceilings?
Yes, we do! Ceiling installations are priced separately due to the increased difficulty and time required. Like walls, ceiling pricing is calculated by the square foot. Please contact us for a ceiling-specific rate based on height and material.
Do you offer Commercial Installation Pricing?
Yes. For commercial spaces, pricing is still based by the square foot, but varies depending on volume, site conditions, and scheduling. Contact us to receive a customized bid for your project.
How do I calculate Square Footage for a Quote?
Square footage is calculated by multiplying the height of the wall by the width. For example, a wall that’s 8 feet tall and 12 feet wide is 96 square feet.
We also provide in-person estimates. Reach out to schedule a measurement or to learn more.

What if my walls are irregular or curved?
Specialty surfaces (curved walls, archways, niches, etc.) are priced by the square foot but may carry a complexity fee depending on the scope. Send us photos and measurements for an accurate estimate. Or receive an in person measurement consultation with one of our Spicer Team Members.
