Embossed Wallpaper


Hello all...

I am a painting contractor and a professional high end decorative painter. My business primarily does high end residential and commercial faux finishing. Presently I am paying a wallpaper contractor to hang my embossed papers so I can paint and do faux over them. Here is my delema, he is Subway's main guy, if they call he has to go so it takes time to get him on the job some times. Now I do trust his work as it is very good and he gives me good rates but I was just wondering how difficult it would be to hang this paper? Some rooms have a lot of cuts but many are just tray ceilings and on those jobs I really cannot wait for him as I need his job done before I can do mine. Is there a training facility (just looking for the basics) that trains papers? I know like everything being good at it takes time but I set up jobs for 500 stripes so how much harder could it be then that?
Below is a pic of what I am talking about...

Thanks
Rob

Re: Embossed Wallpaper


Why not just get another paper hanger in? Training will show you how to, but the skill of doing it properly takes years of experience.

Ask people you know if they've used anyone in the past and if they would recommend them.

You are a salesman and not a Professional.

When was the last time you peeled a callous????

"Delema". WTF?????

Hire someone else and stop getting fleeced!

Do not know about fleece?! See Judges in the BS Book called the Bible.
