5-star service. Impeccable craftsmanship. Unrivaled reputation.
Choosing the right installer is part of choosing the right material. The questions below come from clients and designers across the Wasatch Back and beyond.
Mancini Wallpapers is the Mountain West’s specialty-only luxury wallpaper installer, with twelve trained installers across four active crews and a 5.0 average rating across 70+ Google reviews. We install grasscloth, silk, hand-painted murals, foils, and heritage wallcoverings across Park City, Deer Valley, Jackson Hole, Big Sky, Sun Valley, and Lake Tahoe. Designer-referred for ten luxury manufacturers including Schumacher, Cole & Son, Phillip Jeffries, de Gournay, Gracie, and Zuber. Installation is our entire business — no painting sideline, no general contracting, no procurement.
Three factors determine the investment: material complexity, surface condition, and project scale. A feature wall in standard grasscloth requires a different scope than a 2,000 sq ft de Gournay hand-painted estate install. Every engagement begins with a site visit and a detailed written proposal — no phone estimates, no square-foot guesses. The proposal lists every variable, every line item, every schedule milestone. Designers, general contractors, and homeowners receive identical documentation. Submit a project inquiry and we will schedule a site visit within the week.
Hand-painted heritage wallcoverings — de Gournay, Gracie, Zuber, and Fromental — demand an installer with documented experience on the specific medium. Most ateliers do not maintain formal installer lists; they refer by reputation. Mancini Wallpapers is a designer-referred installer for all four houses, with completed installations across the Mountain West. Before the material ships, we conduct a substrate walk-through, confirm panel layout against the studio’s shop drawings, and coordinate adhesive selection with the atelier directly. Engagement is typically 6–12 weeks ahead of the material’s arrival.
Mountain communities — Park City, Jackson Hole, Big Sky, Sun Valley, Lake Tahoe — sit between 6,000 and 9,000 feet, with single-digit relative humidity in winter and 30%+ swings in summer. These conditions accelerate seam separation, adhesive failure, and panel shrinkage if the installation is not calibrated to the environment. Our protocols include extended on-site acclimation, adhesive selection matched to substrate and material, controlled-humidity panel preparation, and seam treatment specific to natural fibers. Every project receives the calibration that mountain-home conditions require.
Two tiers define what we install across the Mountain West and Pacific corridors.
Primary roster — designer-specified across most projects: Schumacher, Cole & Son, Farrow & Ball, Thibaut, Phillip Jeffries, Omexco.
Heritage atelier — for hand-painted, panoramic, and bespoke commissions: de Gournay, Gracie, Zuber, and Fromental.
We install across the full roster — one installer, every brand, every material category. Designers do not need to staff different specialists for grasscloth, silk, and hand-painted work; our crews carry every protocol.
Three signals separate a trusted luxury installer from a generalist.
Mancini Wallpapers is a designer-referred installer for Schumacher, Cole & Son, Farrow & Ball, Thibaut, Phillip Jeffries, Omexco, de Gournay, Gracie, Zuber, and Fromental across Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Nevada, and California. Trusted by the manufacturers we install.
Timelines run on four benchmarks:
Hand-painted and panoramic installations require additional time for panel acclimation and substrate alignment. High-altitude conditions, soaring ceilings, stonework integration, and ski rooms each add scope. The proposal lists every milestone — material acclimation, substrate prep, install start, install close, walk-through — calibrated to your design team’s schedule.
Three to six weeks ahead is the standard window for primary roster materials. Heritage atelier work — de Gournay, Gracie, Zuber, Fromental — requires 6–12 weeks once the material ships, with material lead times running 10–28 weeks from the studio. Designer-led projects with multiple rooms or full-estate scope benefit from 8–12 weeks of advance notice. Material in hand is the trigger for confirmed scheduling; we do not lock install dates against unconfirmed delivery ETAs. Submit a project inquiry as soon as material is specified.
Yes. Removal is integrated into the install scope when required. Before any new wallcovering goes up, we assess what is on the wall — vinyl, paper-backed, peelable, painted-over — and remove it using the method matched to the substrate beneath. Wall preparation follows: skim coat, lining paper, or primer, calibrated to the new material’s requirements. The proposal lists removal, prep, and install as discrete line items so the scope is transparent before work begins.
Yes. Ceilings, stairwells, vaulted entries, curved walls, and architectural niches are core specialty work. Each requires a different technique: ceiling installations use weighted scaffolding and adhesive matched to gravity load; stairwells require staged scaffolding for safe access on every tread; curved walls demand panel relaxation and tension calibration to prevent lifting. Our crews execute these regularly across mountain estates and luxury hospitality projects. The site visit confirms scope, access requirements, and scaffolding logistics before the proposal is issued.
Grasscloth performs best in living rooms, dining rooms, primary bedrooms, libraries, dens, formal entries, and powder rooms with controlled ventilation. The material reads as natural texture — warm, organic, light-responsive — and is ideally suited to spaces where humidity stays stable.
Grasscloth should be avoided in full bathrooms with steam exposure, behind kitchen ranges, in laundry rooms, in mudrooms with heavy moisture cycling, and in unventilated wine cellars. The fiber absorbs moisture, which produces staining, lifting, and seam separation that no installation technique can fully prevent. For these rooms, vinyl or coated wallcoverings deliver the texture aesthetic with the durability the space requires.
Sometimes, depending on crew availability and project complexity. Our crews schedule four to six weeks out, but we maintain capacity for designer-led and trade-partner projects where material has landed and the schedule has tightened. Send the project address, material on hand, room scope, and target install window. We will confirm crew availability within one business day and schedule a site visit if the project fits the calendar. Short-notice projects receive the same site visit, proposal, and installation standard as scheduled work.
Five conditions allow the crew to start on day one without delay.
The pre-install checklist is sent with the confirmed schedule. Designers, project managers, and homeowners receive the same document so every party works from the same source.
Wall preparation is part of our scope, not the owner’s responsibility. We assess the substrate during the site visit, identify defects — texture, prior wallpaper residue, drywall imperfection, moisture issues — and execute the calibrated prep: skim coat to wallpaper-grade flatness, lining paper for irregular substrates, primer matched to the wallcovering and substrate combination. Every prep step appears as a line item on the proposal. The result: a substrate that lets the material perform as the manufacturer designed.
Yes. Designer- and GC-led work is the core of our calendar. We integrate into the project from specification onward: substrate review during framing, scope confirmation against shop drawings, schedule coordination with the GC’s construction calendar, and field documentation throughout the install. Designers receive material handling protocols, photographic project records, and a trade partner preferred rate. General contractors receive a single point of contact, COI delivery, and crew supervision under one accountable lead. Trade partnership is how Mancini built its book.
