Introduction

Wallpaper... it’s why we’re here. Wallpaper is all I do, and what I do best. I was born and raised in Manchester, England. At the age of 17 I took an apprenticeship that developed my love of interiors and decorating. This apprenticeship led to a career of 30+ years in the wall covering and decorating industry. Throughout my career I have amassed a wealth of knowledge in my field and I am constantly honing my craft and refining my technique. After a move across the pond, I am now offering my services to the state of Minnesota and the upper midwest specializing in wallpaper hanging. Let me help transform your old room into your dream room.

The Wallpaper Guy was amazing to work with. Super patient while I sorted through endless options and changes my selections at least 1K times. Love that they are picky in paper quality and weren’t afraid to tell me when one I liked wasn’t a good investment. They were timely, responsive and fair in pricing. Flexible in install dates. Completed 4 projects for me- and I’m extremely pleased with the quality of the install. Communication is spot on throughout the process. Thumbtack for the win on this one! I would highly recommend them!!!

Details: Installation • 2 rooms • 250 - 500 sq ft • 8 - 10 feet • Excellent - clean and smooth • Yes, the property is currently occupied
