The Town of Davie stretches across a wide part of southwest Broward County, about 10 miles from our Fort Lauderdale base, and we take jobs in all four of its ZIP codes: 33314, 33325, 33328 and 33330. Davie homes range widely, from compact older houses to roomy properties with tall great rooms, two-story foyers and long hallways. Those bigger surfaces are a large share of what we hang here. A wall that is twice as tall as a standard one changes how paper is cut, carried, pasted and matched, and it demands staging and patience. This page explains how we handle that scale, along with the full range of services we offer in Davie.
Hanging paper on tall and two-story walls
Long drops are heavier and harder to keep straight. A small error at the top of a tall strip grows into a visible slant by the bottom, so we snap a fresh plumb line for each section rather than trusting the corner of the room. Pattern matching also uses more paper on tall walls, because each strip must start at the same point in the repeat. We calculate roll counts with that waste in mind so you do not run out halfway.
For stairwells and foyers we set up scaffolding or a stable platform instead of leaning ladders against fresh paper. It is slower to rig but safer, and it lets us smooth each strip evenly from top to bottom.
- Plumb lines checked section by section
- Roll counts that account for pattern repeat on long drops
- Scaffolding or platforms for stairwells and foyers
- Seams placed away from the main sightline
Ceilings and statement surfaces
A high ceiling can feel empty, and a papered ceiling gives it a finished look. We see requests for subtle textures in great rooms, metallic or tonal patterns in dining rooms and soft prints in bedrooms. Ceiling installation means working overhead with heavy wet paper, so the drywall has to be smooth and sealed and the adhesive strong enough to hold from the first press.
Large walls are also ideal for murals. A scenic or abstract mural covering a full great-room wall can replace a gallery of art. We dry-lay the panels first and plan where the focal points will land relative to windows, furniture and the room's main view.
Grasscloth in big rooms
Grasscloth is a natural match for Davie's larger living spaces, and it is also the most demanding product to hang across a wide wall. Each roll varies a little in color and weave, and on a long run of strips that variation is easy to see. We sort rolls by shade, reverse alternate strips when the maker recommends it, and keep paste off the fibers, which stain permanently.
Strong sunlight through big windows can fade natural fibers over time, so consider sheer window treatments or a UV-filtering film on the brightest walls.
Climate, removal and prep
Davie is inland, but it shares the South Florida pattern of a hot, humid, rainy season from May through October and a warmer, drier stretch from November into April. Big rooms with high ceilings take longer to cool, so we ask that the AC be running well before we arrive and kept on for a few days after so adhesive cures evenly. During hurricane season, June 1 to November 30, we move dates as needed for storms.
Older Davie homes may carry paper from previous owners. We strip it, remove adhesive, repair damaged drywall and seal the wall with a wallcovering primer. That prep is the same whether the next step is new paper or paint.
