Edgewater is one of metro Denver’s smallest and most character-rich cities — a compact grid of mid-century bungalows and brick ranch homes tucked between Sloan’s Lake and Wheat Ridge, where renovation activity has been quietly accelerating for years. Homeowners here tend to invest seriously in their interiors, drawn to the neighborhood’s walkability, proximity to Denver proper, and the architectural bones that older Edgewater homes provide.
For Edgewater homeowners working with older drywall, original plaster surfaces, or walls that have seen multiple rounds of paint and previous wallcoverings, partnering with a certified Denver metro wallpaper installer who knows how to handle these conditions correctly makes all the difference between a finish that lasts and one that starts failing within a year.
Whether you’re installing a bold botanical mural in a renovated Edgewater bungalow, adding grasscloth to a dining room near Sloan’s Lake, or finishing a bathroom accent wall with moisture-resistant vinyl — we handle every phase from surface prep through final seam, with results built to perform in Colorado’s dry Front Range climate.
Edgewater is one of metro Denver’s most character-rich communities — and its mid-century homes deserve wall finishes that match their personality. Whether you’re updating a bungalow near Sloan’s Lake with a bold botanical mural or adding grasscloth texture to a renovated dining room, we bring certified expertise and careful surface prep to every project in the city.
Edgewater’s older housing stock — most of it built between the 1940s and 1970s — presents surface challenges that newer construction simply doesn’t have. Original plaster walls, layers of paint over previous wallpaper, and varying drywall conditions across renovated spaces require an installer who prepares surfaces correctly before anything goes on the wall. That’s exactly what we bring.

Here’s one of our recent wallpaper installations completed in the Edgewater area — a tonal botanical wallpaper installed in a stairwell and entry, featuring a delicate white-on-grey leaf and vine pattern wrapping continuously across multiple wall planes around the staircase. Stairwell installations require working at varying heights and maintaining consistent pattern alignment across angled ceiling lines and around the stair opening — one of the more technically demanding residential installation types we handle.

Wallpaper installation in Edgewater typically ranges from $2 to $8 per square foot for labor, depending on the wallpaper type, wall condition, and project complexity.
For a standard bedroom with smooth drywall and non-woven wallpaper, most Edgewater homeowners budget between $400 and $900 for installation labor. Larger rooms, pattern-matching wallpapers, or surfaces requiring prep work will fall toward the higher end of that range.
Key factors that affect pricing in Edgewater specifically:
Wall condition. Edgewater’s housing stock is predominantly mid-century — most homes were built between the 1940s and 1970s, and many have original plaster walls, painted-over textures, or previous wallpaper layers that require proper removal and surface repair before new installation begins. This prep work is essential and is always priced separately from installation labor.
Wallpaper type. Standard vinyl and non-woven papers are the most straightforward to install. Grasscloth, silk, and designer wallcoverings from brands like Phillip Jeffries or Farrow & Ball require additional expertise and precision, which is reflected in the labor rate.
Room complexity. Edgewater bungalows often feature irregular wall angles, built-in cabinetry, and original trim details that add time and complexity compared to standard rectangular spaces.
At Enjoy The Wall, we provide transparent, upfront quotes after reviewing your wall conditions in person. No surprises — just an honest assessment and a clear price before work begins.

Yes — wallpaper removal and full wall preparation are part of our standard process for every Edgewater installation job.
In a city where most homes were built before 1975, this step is especially critical. Edgewater properties frequently have multiple generations of wallcovering applied over original plaster or early drywall — sometimes with layers of paint in between — and each layer has to come off correctly without damaging the substrate underneath.
What we typically encounter in Edgewater:
Original plaster walls in pre-1960s bungalows. Plaster requires a different removal approach than drywall — more patience, different chemical softeners, and careful tooling to avoid cracking or gouging the surface. After removal, we assess the plaster condition and repair any damage before new wallpaper goes up.
Early drywall in 1960s and 1970s homes. This generation of drywall is thinner and more fragile than modern board — aggressive removal techniques can tear the paper face, which then requires skim coating before installation can proceed. We know how to work around this.
After removal and repair, we apply a proper sizing solution or primer coat before new wallpaper goes up. Prep is what determines whether your installation looks great five years from now or starts failing in the first season.

Edgewater’s architectural character — compact floor plans, low ceilings, original hardwood floors, and brick exteriors — creates a specific design context that responds well to certain wallcovering approaches.
Bold botanical and floral murals are one of the most popular choices in Edgewater renovations. A single statement wall behind a bed or sofa transforms a small room without overwhelming the space — and mid-century bungalows have exactly the kind of proportions where this approach works best.
Textured non-woven wallpapers — grassweave patterns, linen textures, subtle geometrics — add depth and warmth to Edgewater interiors without competing with existing architectural details. These materials also handle Colorado’s dry climate better than traditional paper, making them a practical as well as aesthetic choice.
Grasscloth and natural fiber wallcoverings are a beautiful fit for Edgewater dining rooms and living spaces where the goal is warmth and texture rather than pattern. The organic quality of grasscloth complements the mid-century aesthetic naturally — though Edgewater homeowners should maintain indoor humidity at 35–50% RH to keep seams tight through Colorado’s dry winters.
Moisture-resistant vinyl is the right call for Edgewater bathrooms and kitchens, where older homes may have limited ventilation and humidity management is a real consideration.

Plaster walls are common in Edgewater’s pre-1960s housing stock, and they require a different approach than standard drywall installation — one that most general contractors and handymen aren’t equipped to handle correctly.
The challenges with plaster in Edgewater homes:
Surface hardness and porosity. Older plaster is denser than drywall and absorbs adhesive differently. Using the wrong adhesive or applying it incorrectly on plaster leads to poor bond strength and eventual peeling — sometimes within months of installation.
Existing damage. Plaster walls in Edgewater homes often have hairline cracks, settling damage, or areas where previous wallpaper removal has pulled the surface layer. These need to be repaired and stabilized before any new wallcovering goes up.
Primer selection. Plaster requires a specific primer — not standard drywall primer — to seal the surface correctly and create the adhesion base that wallpaper needs. Skipping this step is the most common reason plaster-wall wallpaper installations fail prematurely.
Our process for Edgewater plaster walls includes a thorough surface assessment, targeted crack repair and stabilization, proper primer application, and in some cases a thin skim coat to level any surface irregularities. According to Kris A., WIA-certified installer and IDS member: “Plaster walls in older Edgewater homes are actually a great substrate when prepared correctly — they’re solid, they don’t flex, and wallpaper bonds to them beautifully with the right primer and adhesive.”

Yes — Edgewater has a small but active commercial strip along Sheridan Boulevard, and we work with local businesses, boutique retailers, and restaurant owners who want interior wallcoverings that reflect the character of the neighborhood.
Edgewater’s commercial aesthetic tends toward the independent and creative — not corporate — which makes wallcovering an especially effective tool for defining a space and creating an environment that feels intentional.
What we bring to Edgewater commercial projects:
Material selection for commercial use. We recommend commercial-grade vinyl Type II or durable non-woven wallcoverings for high-traffic areas — materials that can handle cleaning, contact, and the daily wear of a busy commercial space without losing their finish.
Surface preparation. Commercial spaces in Edgewater’s older buildings often have the same plaster and early drywall conditions as residential properties nearby. We assess every surface before installation and perform whatever prep is needed.
Scheduling flexibility. We work around business hours and coordinate with contractors and building owners to minimize disruption to occupied Edgewater commercial spaces.
