Do you supply the wallpaper or do I?

Either works. Plenty of clients choose their own paper from Resene or a specialty supplier and we hang it, or we can help you source it. We'll tell you how many rolls to order with an allowance for pattern repeat.

Can you remove old wallpaper?

Yes. We strip old paper, clean off the residue, and repair and size the wall before anything new goes up. If you would rather paint the wall instead, we can prep it back to a paintable finish.

What about feature walls?

Feature walls are one of the most popular jobs we do. A single wall in a bold paper lifts a whole room and is a small job to book. We'll line the pattern up to the main sightline so it reads right from the door.

Reviews

What Christchurch homeowners say

"Intext Plaster & Paint did the painting on our new build in Faringdon. Builder recommended them and I can see why. Clean lines on the ceilings, no overspray on the cedar accents, no callbacks. They were on site exactly when our builder said they would be, which apparently isn't normal."

"Got three quotes for repainting the weatherboard front and side of our place. Intext Plaster & Paint wasn't the cheapest but they walked through the flaking and prep issues no-one else had picked up. Crew turned up when they said, finished a day early, and the finish is genuinely better than what was there originally."

"We had a leak at the back of the house that turned into major exterior repairs, so the interior needed repainting once the builders were done. Intext Plaster & Paint handled the painting and were the easiest part of a stressful process. They flagged a couple of damp patches the builder hadn't fully dried out before they started, and the finish blends in perfectly with the rooms we didn't touch."

FAQs

Common questions about wallpapering.

Most wallpaper jobs are priced per roll hung plus prep, and a single feature wall typically runs $300 to $700 supplied-and-hung depending on the paper. Full rooms and specialty coverings cost more. Stripping old paper and repairing the wall underneath is quoted on top. We price each job after a look at the walls.
