The short answer
We install wallpaper throughout Miramar homes, townhomes and condos. Most projects include smoothing textured walls, priming, careful pattern layout and a paper type chosen for each room's humidity and use.
Wallpaper has made a strong comeback in Broward County homes, and Miramar is no exception. People are papering powder rooms with bold botanicals, wrapping dining rooms in soft textures, lining closets and pantries with playful prints, and giving builder-white bedrooms something to look at. Our installers come from Miami Gardens, about five miles southeast, and work in houses, townhomes and condos across Miramar's ZIP codes 33023, 33025, 33027 and 33029. Rather than a generic overview, this page answers what Miramar homeowners actually ask us: which rooms suit which papers, how we deal with sprayed-texture walls, what can go wrong in humid weather, and how to plan the order so you do not run short.

Some rooms come up again and again. Powder rooms are the favorite because they are small, have no shower and give you permission to go bold. Dining rooms are next, often with a grasscloth or textured paper that softens the hard surfaces of tile and glass. In bedrooms, people tend to paper the whole room in a quiet pattern or just the headboard wall.
Smaller surfaces are fun too. Pantries, closets, the back of built-in shelves and the risers of a staircase can all take wallpaper, and they need only a roll or two.

Dealing with sprayed-texture walls
Most drywall in Miramar's newer neighborhoods has orange-peel or knockdown texture. Thin, glossy or metallic papers will show that texture like a relief map, and even matte papers can reveal it in side lighting. Our usual fix is a skim coat: a thin layer of joint compound spread over the wall, sanded smooth and primed. It adds a step but transforms the result.
In the older homes on the eastern side of the city, we also see plaster and concrete-block walls with years of paint layers. There the work is more about filling cracks, scraping loose paint and making sure the surface is sound and clean before priming.
Humidity, air conditioning and storm season
The South Florida climate shapes every installation. From May through October the outdoor air is heavy and wet, and frequent afternoon storms keep it that way. Indoors, AC pulls the moisture out. Wallpaper is happiest when that indoor environment stays steady, so we ask that the AC stay on at a normal setting during and after installation.
Bathrooms with showers need solid vinyl and an adhesive with mildew protection. Laundry rooms benefit from the same. If an exterior wall has leaked during heavy rain or a past hurricane, we fix or flag that issue before hanging anything, since moisture behind wallpaper causes peeling and mold.
Ordering the right amount
Wallpaper comes in different roll widths and lengths, and the pattern repeat determines how much is lost when matching strips. A large drop repeat on tall walls can use noticeably more paper than a small straight match. We calculate the order from your room dimensions, the roll size and the repeat, then add a reasonable allowance.
Order everything from the same production batch. Rolls printed at different times can have a slight color difference that shows up clearly on the wall. Keep a partial roll after installation for any future repair.
How installation day goes
We cover the floors, remove switch and outlet plates, and confirm the walls are dry and primed. A plumb line sets the first strip, usually on the most visible wall, and the pattern is planned so the final mismatched seam falls in an inconspicuous corner. Strips are pasted, booked if needed, hung and smoothed. We clean paste off the face as we go, trim precisely at ceilings and baseboards, and put the room back together before we leave.
