What actually matters when hiring a wallpaper installer in Denver or Boulder?

Beautiful wallpaper can make a room. But the quality of the installation starts long before the first strip goes up.

The wall itself matters.

A professional installation should consider the substrate, surface condition, preparation, primer, adhesive, wallcovering, pattern layout, application, and drying conditions as one complete system.

That becomes especially important with:

• Grasscloth and natural fibers
• Silk and delicate wallcoverings
• Metallic and specialty papers
• Murals and large pattern repeats
• Older plaster or repaired drywall
• Textured or previously wallpapered walls

Two installers can look at the same room and provide very different prices because they may not be including the same preparation or installation scope.

Before hiring, ask:

What preparation is included?
Which primer and adhesive are being specified?
How will the pattern be laid out?
How will existing finishes be protected?
What happens if the wallcovering reveals an underlying problem?

At DAECO Painting Company, we've been working on fine residential interiors in Colorado since 2003. Our approach to wallpaper installation starts with the surface and considers the wallcovering as part of the finished room—especially when it meets painted, lacquered, or high-gloss architectural finishes.

We put together a detailed Denver & Boulder guide covering costs, preparation, materials, vetting an installer, and when professional installation makes sense.

The paper is only part of the finished wall. The surface underneath is where the installation begins.

Real customer review:

When the finished result exceeds expectations, that’s what craftsmanship is all about in Cherry Creek North Denver.

We’re grateful to Andrea Fuller for sharing her experience with DAECO Painting Company.

After a disappointing cabinet refinishing experience six years ago, Andrea and her husband entrusted us with the opportunity to get it right. Our goal was simple: achieve the finish they had envisioned the first time around.

Using Fine Paints of Europe Hollandlac, we approached their cabinetry with the preparation, attention to detail, and carefully controlled process this exceptional finish demands.

As Andrea shared in her review, the finished product exceeded their expectations. She also recognized our professionalism, mastery of the craft, and communication throughout the project.

That feedback means a great deal to us.
High-end cabinet finishing is about more than applying paint. The preparation, product selection, application, and patience required throughout the process all contribute to the final result.

Andrea and her husband, thank you for your trust, your patience, and the opportunity to bring your vision to life. We genuinely loved working with you both.

What makes a high-gloss front door look almost like a mirror?

For a luxury home, the front door is more than an entrance. It is part of the architecture—and the finish has to hold up to that level of detail.

Called back to refinish these primary entry doors in Cherry Creek North, Denver, were finished by yours truly DAECO Painting Company in Benjamin Moore Classic Burgundy HC-182, using - Hollandlac Brilliant 98.

The deep burgundy color and extraordinary gloss create a reflective finish that changes with the light and surrounding architecture.

But the reflection doesn't come from the paint alone.

With a finish this glossy, the surface underneath becomes critical. Every scratch, ripple, pinhole, or irregular transition can become more noticeable. That's why DAECO approaches a finish like this from the surface forward:

Surface → Preparation → Refinement → Coating → Cure

Hollandlac Brilliant 98 is designed for an exceptionally high-gloss finish, but achieving this level of clarity requires careful preparation, controlled application, and patience through the curing process.

So, if you're looking at your own Cherry Creek North home and wondering, “Could we do this on our front doors?” — yes. The color, gloss level, and overall character can be developed around the architecture of your home.

The goal isn't simply to make a door shiny. It's to make the finish belong to the home.

Project: Cherry Creek North, Denver, Colorado
Color: Benjamin Moore Classic Burgundy HC-182
Coating: Fine Paints of Europe Hollandlac Brilliant 98
Finish: DAECO Painting Company
