Wallpaper Installers Who Know Boston Walls
E&R Wallpaper Installation is a locally owned company serving Boston and Greater Boston with professional wallpaper hanging, removal, and commercial wallcovering. Led by Ethan Reynolds, our crew has spent more than nine years installing everything from delicate chinoiserie panels in Beacon Hill townhouses to durable Type II vinyl in Seaport office corridors. Whether it is a single powder-room accent wall or a full multi-floor commercial rollout, we bring the same standard: walls prepped properly, patterns matched precisely, and seams you have to hunt for.
Boston housing is unlike anywhere else in the country, and it demands installers who understand it. The brick rowhouses and brownstones of Back Bay and the South End were built in the 1850s–1900s with horsehair plaster over lath — a surface that must be repaired, primed, and often skim-coated before paper will hold. Humid Julys and dry, radiator-heated Januarys make paper expand and contract, so we acclimate every roll on site and use adhesives suited to the season. We navigate walk-up access, condo association rules, elevator bookings in high-rises, and parking permits for our vans — the practical details that keep a Boston project on schedule. From Charlestown to Jamaica Plain, if the walls are in Boston, we have likely papered ones just like them.

Most Boston projects run $3–$8 per square foot for labor depending on the material, wall condition, and room complexity. Brownstone parlors with tall ceilings or pre-war plaster that needs skim-coating sit at the higher end. We give a firm written quote after a free on-site visit — no surprises on invoice day.
Yes — pre-war plaster is our specialty. Back Bay and South End rowhouses usually have horsehair plaster over lath, which needs proper priming and often a skim coat before paper goes up. We assess wall condition during the estimate and include any prep in the quote.
A single accent wall is usually done in half a day. A full room takes one to two days, and a multi-room project two to four days depending on prep. We confirm the schedule in writing before we start and protect floors and furniture throughout.
Absolutely. We strip old paper, remove adhesive residue, repair damaged plaster or drywall, and prime the surface so the new covering bonds correctly. Removal and prep are itemized separately in your quote.
Yes — most of our clients order their own paper. Send us the pattern name and roll dimensions and we'll calculate exactly how many rolls you need before you order, including pattern-repeat waste.
We install commercial-grade vinyl, grasscloth, and custom murals for offices, restaurants, hotels, and retail throughout Greater Boston. We work after hours or weekends when needed, carry insurance, and coordinate with building management.
