Florence sits along Coal Creek in Fremont County — a small historic town known locally as the “Antique Capital of Colorado” for its concentration of shops and Victorian-era architecture along Main Street. The homes here reflect that heritage: late 1800s and early 1900s construction with original plaster walls, ornate woodwork, and the kind of character that rewards thoughtful interior finishes. Newer cottages and updated properties exist alongside the historic stock, but the dominant character of the Florence market is shaped by its older, well-preserved housing.
The photo here shows a dramatic dark floral mural installed around a corner — a painterly large-format botanical in charcoal, blush, and warm amber wrapping continuously across two walls, with wood slat wainscoting panels below. The composition extends around the interior corner with the floral imagery reading as a continuous scene across both wall planes. Corner-wrapping mural installations require precise panel sequencing and corner alignment to maintain the visual continuity of the image — a single misaligned strip at the corner joint breaks the entire composition.
Florence homeowners and Fremont County designers increasingly work with a certified wallpaper installer serving Colorado who can handle both the older wall surfaces common in this historic market and the technical demands of complex mural installations in renovated spaces.

Wallpaper installation in Florence typically ranges from $2 to $8 per square foot for labor, depending on the wallpaper type, wall condition, and project complexity.
For a standard room with smooth drywall and non-woven wallpaper, most Florence homeowners budget between $400 and $900 for installation labor. Florence’s historic Victorian and craftsman properties frequently involve additional surface prep — original plaster, previous wallpaper layers, and ornate architectural details that add time — pushing projects toward the higher end of that range.
Key factors that affect pricing in Florence specifically:
Wall condition. Florence has a high concentration of older properties where walls have original plaster, multiple paint layers, or previous wallpaper applied without proper sizing. These surfaces require assessment, stabilization, and priming before any new wallpaper goes up — essential for a lasting result and priced separately from installation labor.
Wallpaper type. Standard vinyl and non-woven papers are the most straightforward to install. Large-format murals — particularly those that wrap around corners or coordinate with architectural elements like wainscoting — require precise panel sequencing and alignment that adds significant time beyond a standard installation. Designer wallcoverings follow the same principle.
Room complexity. Florence’s historic homes often feature non-standard room proportions, decorative moldings, built-ins, and architectural details that require careful fitting and cutting around each element. Corner-wrapping mural installations in renovated spaces add further complexity beyond what standard rectangular room installations involve.

Yes — and textured walls are a common starting point in Florence’s older housing stock, where decades of renovation layering have produced surfaces that range from lightly textured paint to heavily modified original plaster. The approach depends on the texture type, the wallpaper selected, and the expected finish standard.
Light texture. Very fine orange peel or lightly textured paint can sometimes be hung over with a thick non-woven wallpaper without visible telegraphing. We assess this case by case — the wallpaper type, the room’s light conditions, and the viewing distance all affect whether hanging over is a viable option.
Original plaster and heavier texture. Florence’s Victorian and craftsman properties frequently have original plaster walls that have been patched, modified, or coated over multiple renovation cycles. These surfaces almost always require skim coating before wallpaper installation — particularly for large-format murals where any surface irregularity is immediately visible across the full composition.
Skim coating process. We apply joint compound across the surface, sand smooth, and apply barrier primer before hanging. In Kris A.’s experience, skim coating older Florence walls is consistently worth the additional prep cost — the difference in the finished result between a properly prepared plaster surface and a rushed installation is visible from across the room.
All surface conditions are assessed in person before quoting. Contact us to schedule a site visit for your Florence property.
Most standard rooms take one to two days from start to finish, including surface prep and installation. Florence’s historic properties and renovation projects frequently run longer due to older wall surfaces, complex architectural details, and the prep work required before installation can begin.
Typical timelines for Florence projects:
Single accent wall — usually completed in half a day for a standard surface and non-woven or vinyl wallpaper. Corner-wrapping murals coordinated with wainscoting or other architectural elements add a full day or more depending on the scope.
Standard room installation — one full day on well-prepared surfaces. Add a half to full day for skim coating, which is required on most of Florence’s older plaster walls before installation can proceed.
Large-format mural installations — typically two days for corner-wrapping compositions or murals coordinated with multiple architectural elements. The planning and sequencing required before the first panel goes up is significant, and the installation pace is slower than standard wallpaper because each panel’s alignment affects every subsequent one.
Historic property renovations. Full renovation projects in Florence’s Victorian and craftsman homes — where wallpaper is one element of a larger interior update — are typically phased alongside other trades. We coordinate with the renovation timeline and schedule our work after paint and trim are complete.

Yes — and in Florence’s historic housing stock, wallpaper removal is one of the more involved prep scenarios we encounter across southern Colorado. Victorian and craftsman properties near Main Street frequently have wallpaper dating back decades, applied directly to original plaster or over previous layers without proper surface preparation.
Assessment first. Before removal begins, we evaluate the substrate — original plaster, drywall, or modified surfaces — and the adhesive type. Plaster walls in Florence’s older properties are particularly sensitive to moisture during removal; too much steam or enzyme solution can soften structurally sound plaster and create significant repair work.
Multi-layer situations. Some Florence properties have two or more layers of wallpaper applied over original plaster across multiple renovation periods. Each layer requires individual assessment — removing the top layer sometimes reveals a second layer that bonds differently and requires a different removal technique.
Wall repair and prep. After removal, we skim coat damaged areas, sand, and apply barrier primer before any new wallpaper goes up. At Enjoy The Wall, this sequence is non-negotiable — an unsealed post-removal surface, particularly on older Florence plaster, will cause uneven adhesive absorption and seam failure regardless of the quality of the new wallpaper.
All removal and prep work is assessed in person and quoted upfront. Contact us to schedule a site visit for your Florence property.
Yes — and Florence’s historic renovation market is one where designer and contractor partnerships add particular value. The town’s Victorian and craftsman housing stock attracts homeowners who are investing in authentic, quality renovations — and those projects benefit from an installer who understands period-appropriate wallcovering techniques and can work alongside designers managing complex historic interiors.
What we bring to the partnership:
Historic property experience. Kris A. is a member of the Wallcovering Installers Association (WIA) and the Interior Design Society (IDS). We understand the preparation requirements for original plaster walls, the seam planning considerations for rooms with ornate moldings and non-standard proportions, and the care required when working in properties where the existing architecture needs to be preserved rather than modified.
Mural and specialty installation capability. Corner-wrapping murals, wainscoting-coordinated installations, and large-format botanical compositions — the kinds of bold design choices increasingly common in Florence’s renovation projects — require a different approach than standard residential wallpaper work. We handle these installations with the planning and precision they require.
Reliable project coordination. We document wall conditions before work begins, provide written upfront quotes, and communicate proactively if surface conditions require a change in approach. For designers managing historic renovation projects with tight timelines and multiple trades, that transparency is what makes the partnership work.
