Serving Forest Hill & Surrounding Areas
Forest Hill Wallpaper Installation for Heritage Homes
Toronto Wallpaper Installation handles wallpaper installation, accent walls, luxury and specialty materials, custom murals, wallpaper removal, and wall preparation across Forest Hill, including Forest Hill North, Forest Hill South, Upper Forest Hill, Forest Hill Village, and surrounding neighbourhoods. Every install is measured, prepped, and hung by experienced hands with plumb drops and invisible seams.
Since 1998, our owner-operated, fully insured crew has hung luxury wallpaper in the Tudor Revival and Georgian-style estates of Forest Hill, from the side streets off Spadina Road in Forest Hill Village to Lytton Park and the homes backing onto Cedarvale Ravine. Most of these 1920s-1940s houses have plaster walls and original mouldings, so every job starts with wall preparation: crack stabilization, skim coating that preserves original trim, and priming matched to your paper. Labour runs $8-14 per roll for standard vinyl, $14-18 for grasscloth, and $18-25 per roll for silk and hand-painted papers (2026 rates), with a written quote within 24 hours.
What Can Go Wrong
Why Wallpaper Fails on Forest Hill Plaster Walls
Pattern Waste on High-Ceiling Formal Rooms
Forest Hill's tall formal rooms require precise drop planning. Inexperienced installers miscut 15-20% more paper on double-height walls, costing you extra rolls you've already paid for - often paper that can't be reordered in matching dye lots.
Plaster Walls in Pre-War Estate Homes
The pre-war brick homes throughout Forest Hill Village have plaster substrates with settlement cracks. Paper applied over unprepared plaster telegraphs every crack within a season, ruining expensive wallcoverings that need a stable substrate.
Pattern Misalignment in Formal Dining Rooms
A single off-plumb first drop in a large formal room is visible from every angle. Correcting it after installation means removing and reordering paper - and no guarantees of a matching dye lot on special-order materials.

Multi-Room Projects Sequenced Around Your Household
Forest Hill's detached estates often involve multi-room installations: bedrooms, dining rooms, libraries, and statement walls scheduled as one continuous project. The Toronto Wallpaper Installation team sequences the work to minimise disruption to your routine, schedules plaster repair and skim coating before any paper goes up, and coordinates with whoever else is on site, whether designers, painters, or finish carpenters. Grasscloth and other natural-fibre papers are colour-batched and hung in roll order so every wall reads as one even surface. We work regularly in Lytton Park and Chaplin Estates north of Eglinton, and in the condos and mid-rise buildings along Bathurst Street and St. Clair Avenue West.
Plaster, Lath, and Original Mouldings
Most Forest Hill homes have plaster walls, lath substrates, and original mouldings that demand a conservation-aware approach. Our crews stabilize plaster cracks, skim-coat to feather around trim, and cut cleanly around ceiling medallions and original baseboards. We have worked across Forest Hill North, Forest Hill South, and Upper Forest Hill, including homes near Upper Canada College and Bishop Strachan School built between 1910 and the 1950s.
Testimonials
What Our Customers Say
"We hired them for an 8-panel custom mural in our Forest Hill master bedroom. They measured, numbered every panel, and dry-fit before touching the wall. The result is breathtaking and you cannot find a single seam."
Marcus T., Forest Hill South
"After a disastrous DIY wallpaper removal, they came in, full-room skimmed every wall, and re-papered with our chosen Schumacher pattern. The before/after is unbelievable."
Emily C., Upper Forest Hill
"Phillip Jeffries grasscloth in our great room. They colour-batched every roll and the finished wall is perfectly even. Worth every dollar."
James W., Forest Hill North
