Wallpaper for Homes with History
Reno and the surrounding communities — including Sun Valley, Sparks, and neighborhoods along the Truckee River corridor — are home to a rich collection of older properties. Victorian-era residences, mid-century ranch homes, and early twentieth-century bungalows each present unique challenges when it comes to wallpaper installation. Plaster walls, horsehair lath, uneven surfaces, and decades of paint layers require a fundamentally different approach than modern drywall.
At Reno Wallpaper Installations, our historic home service begins with a detailed wall assessment. We identify areas of moisture damage, test for lead paint where applicable, and evaluate the structural integrity of plaster surfaces before any wallpaper is applied. This careful preparation is what separates a professional historic installation from one that peels, bubbles, or damages the underlying wall.
We also serve homeowners in the Lake Tahoe area, where older cabins and lodge-style properties often feature log walls, stone accents, and plaster finishes that demand specialized techniques for successful wallpaper application.
