Compare 12 Waterbury wallpaper installers. What the job involves, what separates good hangers from bad ones, and how our rankings work.
Wallpaper installation covers hanging pre-pasted or paste-the-wall paper, traditional paste-the-paper rolls, peel-and-stick material, and specialty products like grasscloth, murals, and vinyl commercial coverings. A real installer does more than roll paper onto a wall: they check the surface first, size it with primer so the paper releases cleanly if it ever needs to come down, match and trim pattern repeats at every seam, and handle the fussy parts of a room, corners, outlets, window casings, and stairwells, without visible seams or air bubbles. In Waterbury's older housing stock, that often means dealing with plaster walls, uneven corners, and old paint that has to be prepped or skim-coated before paper will hold.
When you're comparing the 12 installers listed for this category, ask what happens if the walls aren't paper-ready: do they include prep and priming, or is that a separate line item added later. Ask how they price a job, by the roll, by the room, or by square footage, and whether that price includes pattern-matched material and disposal of old paper. A good installer will also tell you upfront if your chosen paper is tricky to hang (foils and grasscloth show every flaw) and price accordingly rather than surprising you at the end.
Our scoring weighs how each business performs across reviews, responsiveness, and consistency over time, not just a star average, so you can see who reliably delivers clean seams and shows up on schedule.

11 businesses, scored on recent reviews. The order weighs each business's overall score by how much of its reviewed work is wallpaper installation, so a lower-scored specialist can rank above a higher-scored generalist.
All 10 reviews rate Emmanuel five stars. Customers praise punctuality, attention to detail, and fair pricing. One account highlights rapid response to storm damage, while another commends wallpaper removal and multi-room painting completed on schedule.
Two recent five-star reviews praise SG Painting for professional work, reliability, and attention to detail. Evidence is limited by review count, so a clear picture of their full range is not yet possible.
Work gets done fast without cutting corners, and Luis's team stays in touch at every step. Customers consistently report finishing jobs within days, reasonable prices that reflect solid outcomes, and a crew that shows up prepared and friendly. Few contractors in the area earn five-star reviews across 18 jobs without a single complaint.
BestWay Painting delivers consistent, detail-oriented work across interior and exterior projects. Reviewers highlight the crew's professionalism, timeliness, and respect for the home; Ivan personally manages jobs and responds quickly to inquiries. The company shows up on schedule, cleans thoroughly before leaving, and handles damage repair (water, ice dams, drywall) with care.
Fitzpatrick's Painting shows a stark split between reviews. One praise from five years ago calls the work exceptional and notes difficulty booking. A recent one-star review describes an awful experience with no specifics. The thin evidence base makes it hard to assess current reliability.
