The short answer
We install peel and stick and traditional wallpaper in Fountainebleau apartments, condos and townhouses. Renters, owners and landlords each get options suited to their lease, building rules and budget for upkeep.
Fountainebleau is an unincorporated, densely populated community in Miami-Dade County, about twelve miles southwest of our Miami Gardens base. Much of the housing is multifamily: apartment complexes, condominium buildings and townhouse rows, many of them several decades old. That shapes what residents ask us for. Renters want personality they can take with them or remove cleanly. Condo owners want upgrades that respect association rules and work within compact floor plans. Landlords want durable finishes that survive turnover. We built our approach in Fountainebleau around those three groups and the realities of older multifamily walls.
Options for Renters
If you rent, check your lease before changing walls. Many landlords allow removable wallcovering, and some will approve traditional wallpaper on one wall if you ask in writing. Peel and stick wallpaper is the go-to choice, but it behaves differently in older buildings. Textured or glossy paint, dust and humidity all reduce how well it grips. We clean and, with permission, prime the wall so the panels stay put and later release without pulling paint.
Smaller ideas can have a big effect: lining a bookcase back, framing a headboard area, or covering a single wall in a kitchenette.

Options for Condo Owners
Owners have more freedom. Traditional paste-the-wall and pre-pasted papers last longer than self-adhesive products and come in a wider range of patterns and textures. In compact units, a mural on one wall can visually stretch a living room, while ceiling wallpaper in a small bedroom draws the eye upward. Grasscloth is a warm option for interior walls in a unit with reliable air conditioning.
Associations here often restrict work hours, require contractor registration, or limit elevator and parking access. We handle that coordination so your project does not stall at the front gate.
Options for Landlords
Owners of rental units want walls that look good in listing photos and stand up to tenants. Scrubbable vinyl wallcovering in kitchens, baths and entry walls resists marks better than flat paint and can be wiped clean between leases. When a section is damaged, a single strip can be replaced if you keep spare rolls from the original batch.
We also handle the less glamorous side: removing a previous tenant's peel and stick, scraping old paper from decades past and repairing the drywall so a unit is ready to paint or recover.
Older Multifamily Walls
Buildings from earlier decades bring their own quirks. Interior walls may be plaster over block or thin drywall with years of paint layered on. Kitchens and baths sometimes have glossy enamel that adhesive cannot grab. Shared walls can carry plumbing, and a slow leak from a neighbor's unit may leave a hidden damp patch.
Our prep routine covers each of these. We degloss shiny paint, fill and sand dents, test suspect areas with a moisture meter and use a mildew-resistant primer on any wall that backs a bathroom or kitchen. If we find moisture coming from another unit, we will tell you before covering it.
Humidity, Storms and Timing
Apartments with window units or aging central air can run humid during the long wet season from May through October. Paper-faced coverings are most vulnerable then, so we favor vinyl and non-woven products in units without strong climate control. The drier months from November into April are a comfortable time for larger projects. When hurricane season is active, we reschedule if a storm threatens, since adhesive should cure in steady, conditioned air.
