Our Commercial Installation Process

Minimizing Downtime for Your Business
We understand that every hour of disruption costs your business money. That is why we offer flexible scheduling options, including evening, weekend, and phased installation plans that allow your operations to continue with minimal interruption. For multi-phase projects, we work section by section, completing each area before moving to the next so that portions of your space remain functional throughout the process.
Our project managers coordinate closely with your facilities team, general contractor, or property manager to ensure that the installation integrates smoothly with other construction or renovation activities. We maintain a clean, organized work area at all times and protect adjacent surfaces and furnishings.
Durability and Maintenance Planning
Commercial wallcoverings are engineered to withstand years of daily use, but proper maintenance extends their lifespan even further. After installation, we provide your team with detailed care instructions specific to the material installed. Most commercial vinyl wallcoverings can be cleaned with mild soap and water, and many are treated with antimicrobial coatings for healthcare and food-service environments.
We also offer maintenance agreements for large commercial clients, providing periodic inspections and touch-up services to keep your wallcoverings looking their best over time.
Pricing Factors for Commercial Wallcovering Projects
Commercial wallcovering pricing is influenced by several project-specific factors. We provide detailed proposals for every commercial project, so you have a clear understanding of costs before work begins.
- Total square footage and number of surfaces to be covered
- Wallcovering material type, fire rating, and specification requirements
- Wall condition and preparation needs
- Scheduling requirements (after-hours, weekend, or phased work)
- Access logistics (elevators, scaffolding, high ceilings)

Timeline and Preparation for Commercial Projects
Commercial timelines vary based on project scope. A single conference room may be completed in one day, while a full hotel renovation could span several weeks. Here is how to prepare:
- Provide access to all areas where wallcovering will be installed
- Ensure HVAC systems are operational to maintain proper temperature and humidity
- Remove or relocate furniture and equipment from the work area
- Coordinate with your IT team if wallcovering will be installed near data or electrical infrastructure
