Wallpaper Services for Miami Springs Homes and Businesses

The short answer

Dream Wallpaper Installers serves Miami Springs, ZIP 33166, four miles south of Hialeah. We work carefully with older plaster walls and architectural details, and we handle removal, repair, murals, grasscloth, vinyl and ceiling paper.

Head about four miles south from our Hialeah shop and you are in Miami Springs, a small city in ZIP 33166 with a strong residential feel. Many homes here are older, and some have plaster walls, arched doorways, curved corners and other details that make wallpaper installation more interesting than in a plain new build. We like that kind of work. It calls for patient measuring, careful prep and a steady hand at the edges, and the result can be a room that feels both fresh and true to the house. We also serve local offices and storefronts that need durable, easy-to-clean wallcovering.

Older houses, original details

Homes with some age on them come with character, and character often means irregular walls. Corners may not be perfectly square. Arched openings require paper to be cut and wrapped by hand. Plaster may have a slightly wavy surface from the original trowel work. A pattern that looks perfectly straight on a showroom panel can wander visibly on a wall like that if it is not planned correctly.

We start by finding a true vertical with a laser or plumb line instead of trusting the corner. We plan where seams will fall so they avoid the center of an arch or a prominent focal point, and we think about where the eye travels when someone walks into the room. Small decisions like these are what make an installation in an older home look as though it belongs there.

Plaster needs its own prep

Plaster is harder and less absorbent than drywall, and it reacts differently to adhesive. Over the years it can develop fine cracks, loose patches or spots where old repairs were made with a different material. Paint layers may be thick or chalky.

Our wall preparation for plaster includes:

  • Tapping each wall to locate hollow or loose areas that need to be secured or replaced
  • Opening and filling cracks so they do not reappear under thin paper
  • Sanding down ridges and old drips to create a uniform surface
  • Washing away dust, grease and chalky residue
  • Applying a primer designed to help wallpaper adhesive bond to sealed or glossy surfaces
  • Skim coating rough or textured sections when a smooth finish is required

Choosing a look for Miami Springs rooms

Older homes pair beautifully with classic patterns: small florals in a bedroom, a damask or trellis in a dining room, or grasscloth in a study. Ceiling paper can highlight a room with unusual shape or an interesting light fixture. In kids' rooms and dens, a mural brings personality without changing the architecture.

If you are thinking about peel and stick wallpaper, we will be honest: it works best on smooth, sealed walls, and plaster may need prep before it is a good candidate. For high-moisture spaces like bathrooms and laundry rooms, vinyl tends to outlast more delicate papers.

Removing paper from walls that have seen decades

In many Miami Springs homes, we find more than one layer of old wallpaper, sometimes with paint on top. Removal takes patience. We score, soak or steam, and peel slowly so the plaster underneath is not gouged. Once the paper is off, we wash away adhesive residue, which can otherwise keep primer from sticking. Then repairs and priming follow before any new covering goes up.

Weather, storms and nearby areas

Hot, humid summers from May through October and drier winters from November into April mean indoor conditions shift through the year, and the AC runs most of the time. We ask that the thermostat stay steady during and after installation so the paper dries evenly. During hurricane season, from June 1 to November 30, we may reschedule around storms. Because Miami Springs is so close, finding a new date is usually simple. We also work in Doral, West Miami, Medley, Miami and Opa-locka.
