How much does wallpaper installation cost?
I have wallpaper ordered, and a recommendation for an installer (hanger), but no idea how to judge his estimate. I’m doing two small (5’x7′) bathrooms, and one 15′ long hallway. The walls are new and are primed. Any ideas? Thanks!

Can someone recommend a good installer? Tks.
Update: I just got the quote, and it’s $1800, from someone who comes highly recommended. So I’m inclined to go with him, even though it’s a bit higher than I expected.
cheaper than you’d think. I just had it done for less than $500/room (labor only)
Thanks, johnife!
most people tip waiters more for a four-star meal than they do for lunch at a diner, even though the amount of work required may be the same.
cmu, splurging on high-end paper doesn’t mean it’s ‘fair’ to give other people more of your money than they earn.
Installation cost should be $1.50 to $2.00/SF for high quality papers versus $1.00 to $1.30/SF for the normal stuff. I’m guessing your job should run between $1,000 and $1,500.
Seriously, the more expensive wallpapers require real talent to hang. They don’t come precut as the prepasted, precut cheaper $20-50 rolls that you get everywhere. Practically anybody with a bit of experience can hang those. Sorry I can’t recommend someone but you need a professional when the rolls have to be cut. For those of you that don’t understand, its that the edges are not precut.The print is done on the paper with extra edging on the sides and each piece needs the vertical edges trimmed.
Also, if you can afford to splurge at that rate, why not spread some of the money around? Seems fair.
