About The Paperhanger

Like many paperhangers, I am self-taught. Since joining the National Guild of Professional Paperhangers, I have had access to hands-on workshops, classes, and the advice and support of other paperhangers all over the country. This has enabled me to continue to expand my skills, learn new techniques and stay up to date on the development of new adhesives, papers, removal solutions and wall repair products. I also participate in 3 internet wallpaper "forums" to keep in touch with paperhangers from all over the country.

I have 15 years experience hanging the most popular wallcoverings, as well as the more challenging papers that have come on the market recently.

It is my mission to personally perform each job at a reasonable price and with the professionalism my customers deserve.

If you are looking for "fast and cheap", or someone who will cut corners in order to reduce the cost, please call someone else.

I will not rush through your job and I absolutely will not take any short cuts in any of the stages of your installation, from the prep work to the clean-up afterward. Your project is my only project until the job is done!

"Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort."

Awards

2006 WINNING WALLS RECIPENT

2nd Place Residential

I was very honored to have one of my projects, completed in April of 2006, chosen for this prestigious award. The Winning Walls Program is open to any NGPP member who has completed a wallcovering project during the calendar year. An independent panel of judges assess each entry by assigning point scores to fifteen different project factors, including creativity, special challenges, materials, time constraints, and the quality of the entry presentation. The Zinsser Company, makers of wallcovering installation products, proudly sponsors the NGPP’s Winning Walls with Wallcoverings Program.
