Our Story
Handy Wallpaper Installation was founded with a simple mission: to bring the artistry of professional wallcovering installation to every home and business in the Minneapolis metropolitan area. What began as a small operation serving Apple Valley and the surrounding communities has grown into one of Minnesota's most trusted wallpaper installation companies, with over 500 completed projects across the Twin Cities.
Our founder recognized that quality wallpaper installation requires more than just adhesive and a smoothing brush — it demands an understanding of wall surfaces, material behavior, pattern geometry, and the patience to achieve invisible seams. That philosophy guides every project we undertake, from a single accent wall to a full commercial renovation.
Our Approach
Every installation begins with a thorough wall assessment. We evaluate surface condition, moisture levels, and structural integrity before recommending the appropriate preparation steps. For older Minneapolis homes with plaster walls, this often means skim coating and applying mold-resistant primers. For new construction, we ensure drywall seams are properly finished and primed for optimal adhesion.
We work with all major wallcovering types including silk, grasscloth, vinyl, non-woven, and custom-printed materials. Our team maintains relationships with leading wallpaper manufacturers and can source specialty materials for unique design visions. Whether you have chosen a bold botanical print or a subtle textured grasscloth, we have the expertise to install it flawlessly.
Our Commitment
We treat every home and business with respect. Our installers wear shoe covers, protect furniture and flooring, and leave every space cleaner than they found it. We communicate clearly throughout the process, provide accurate timelines, and stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. Our goal is not just a beautiful wall — it is a lasting relationship with every client we serve.
