What does that mean- If you update your website, if your website is updated and relevant, real people are veted that leave reviews, so once you get past the paid ads- you will find real people doing real work. That is who you want working in your home.

Who do you know that has had wallpaper installed?
Referrals are our best friend! They are by far the best source for us to get new jobs. If you know someone who has hired a wallpaper installer, then that is by far the best resource to use (unless it was a bad experience).
Wallpaper installers are typically ’boutique” trades. Meaning- they are usually one man operations, they do smaller jobs, they have no staff, and are true artisans! That also means they are harder to get a hold of, longer to book out, and do great work!
