Wallpaper Installation in St. George, Utah
You choose the wallpaper and we hang it. Bibi & T Wallcoverings is a wallpaper installation company in St. George, Utah, run by Brooke Blaser and Tarah Williams. We hang wallpaper, grasscloth and murals in homes and commercial spaces across Washington County. Every install gets the same care: we prep the walls properly, match the pattern at every seam, and leave clean edges around outlets, trim and awkward corners.
Most of the work happens before the first strip goes up. Good wallpaper hung over a poorly prepped wall will show it within a year, so we spend as much time getting the wall right as we do on the paper itself.
What we install
We hang every major type of wallcovering:
Traditional unpasted wallpaper. This is the classic designer format. We apply the paste and “book” each strip so it relaxes before it goes on the wall. Most high-end brands sell this type.
Paste-the-wall wallpaper. We roll paste straight onto the wall, which keeps seams tight and makes removal easier later. Many modern and European papers use this method.
Prepasted wallpaper. The paste comes on the back and is activated with water. It’s common in more budget-friendly lines.
Grasscloth and natural fibers. These are woven from grass, sisal, jute or cork, and they need careful handling. Every panel varies slightly in color and texture. That variation is part of the look, and we plan the panel order so it reads as intentional rather than patchy.
Peel-and-stick. This works well for renters, kids’ rooms and short-term looks. We hang it with the same precision as traditional paper.
Murals. We plan the panel layout around your windows, doors and furniture, and match each panel exactly.
Residential: accent walls, powder baths, bedrooms, nurseries, offices, laundry rooms, ceilings and full rooms.
Commercial: we work with builders, interior designers, model homes, offices, salons and restaurants. Designers and builders can ask us about trade scheduling.
Wall prep: the part that makes or breaks the job
Most homes in Southern Utah have textured walls, usually knockdown or orange peel. Wallpaper is thin, so texture shows through it, and the seams can lift where the paper bridges the texture’s high points.
We fix this one of two ways:
Skim coat. We apply a thin layer of joint compound over the texture, then sand it smooth and prime it. This gives the best finish and works with any wallpaper. It adds time because the compound has to dry fully first.
Liner paper. We hang a plain, heavy paper first to smooth out light texture. It’s faster than a skim coat and works well under many traditional papers.
Every wall also gets a wallpaper-specific primer. Primer helps the paste grip and makes the paper much easier to remove when you’re ready for a new look.
We’ll look at your walls at the quote stage and tell you exactly which prep they need and why.
How it works
Reach out. Send photos of the space, rough wall measurements and the wallpaper you’re considering. A product link is fine.
Get your quote. We confirm the measurements, check the wall surface and send a written quote that includes prep.
Order your paper. We tell you how many rolls to buy, so you avoid running short mid-job or overspending.
Prep day. If you need a skim coat, it happens here, followed by drying time and primer.
Install day. We protect your floors and furniture, hang the paper, match every seam and trim cleanly.
Walkthrough. We check the finished walls with you, clean up and take away the scraps.
Typical timelines
Accent wall: half a day to one day
Powder bath: one day
Full bedroom or living space: one to two days
Murals: one day for most single-wall murals
Skim coat prep: add one to two days for drying
We generally book a few weeks out. Wallpaper lead times vary too: designer brands can take two to six weeks to ship. Order early if you’re working toward a holiday, a listing photo shoot or a move-in date.
Who buys the wallpaper?
You choose and buy your wallpaper, and we handle everything from there. You get full control over the style and price, plus access to any brand you love. If you’d like a hand choosing, we offer guidance on design and paper type.
How we price
We quote every job individually because walls vary so much. Your quote is based on:
Wall area and roll count.
Paper type. Grasscloth, murals and heavy designer papers may take more time to handle.
Wall condition. Skim coating, liner paper and old wallpaper removal add to the cost.
Complexity. Ceilings, stairwells, tall walls and rooms with many cuts take longer.
Your quote spells out every line, so the final bill matches it.

Your Wallpaper Installation Questions, Answered
-
Most St. George homeowners spend $3 to $8 per square foot for labor and basic job supplies. That can changed based on the complexity of the job, type of wallpaper and prep required.
-
Yes, once the walls have been prepped. Knockdown and orange-peel textures, which are standard in most Southern Utah homes, will show through wallpaper and can cause seams to lift. We either skim coat the wall smooth or hang a liner paper first. Skim coating gives the most flawless finish. Liner paper is faster and works well for lighter textures.
-
Properly installed traditional wallpaper lasts 10 to 15 years or more in Southern Utah. Low humidity makes paste dry faster, which can open up seams if the installer rushes. We manage this by priming every wall, using the right paste for the paper and working at a pace that keeps seams tight while the paste cures. Peel-and-stick usually lasts closer to 3 to 5 years, especially on sunny walls.
-
You buy the wallpaper, and we tell you exactly how much to order. That way you pick from any brand at any price point, with no markup from us. Order everything from the same batch, called the dye lot, so the color matches from roll to roll. We’re happy to look over your pick before you order to make sure it suits the room and the wall surface.
-
A standard American double roll covers about 56 square feet, but you can usually use only 40 to 45 square feet of it once you account for the pattern repeat and trimming. Larger pattern repeats waste more paper. We calculate your exact roll count as part of your quote and recommend ordering one extra roll for future repairs, since a matching dye lot can be impossible to find later.
-
Peel-and-stick is great for renters, kids’ rooms and looks you plan to change in a few years. Traditional wallpaper wins for anything you want to last. It grips better, holds its seams longer and comes in far more designer patterns and textures, including grasscloth. On textured walls, peel-and-stick still needs a smooth surface to stick properly, so the prep cost is similar either way.
-
Yes. Powder rooms are one of our favorite spaces to paper, because a small room gives a bold pattern big impact for a modest cost. Full bathrooms with a shower or tub work too, using a vinyl or moisture-resistant paper and a vent fan that actually gets used. We’ll recommend the right paper type based on how much steam the room sees.
-
We’re currently booking about 2 weeks out, and fall and early spring fill up first. Designer wallpapers can also take two to six weeks to arrive. If you’re working toward a holiday, a listing date or a move-in, reach out before you order your paper so we can line up both timelines.
