Proper Paint & Paper

Jim was excellent! After searching and researching paper hangers, knew Jim was the one for our job. As a small, historic powder room attention to detail and accuracy were a must. The end result was perfection. His attention to detail and handiwork were amazing! Truly transformed the room. Would not hesitate to have Jim paper any size space or job from simple to complex. Could not be more pleased! He really took care of our home and treated it like his own. Thanks, Jim!

Jim and his team are true top-notch professionals. They provided absolutely perfect painting and wallpapering services on a challenging timeline and at very reasonable prices. Services were easy to book. And, the team is friendly and trustworthy, making me a customer for life!

Jim expertly completed the installation of a custom, high-end, scenic panoramic mural in our dining room and we’re thrilled with the result. Jim’s talent, responsiveness, care, and problem solving skills set him apart from even the most experienced wallpaper hangers in DC/VA/MD — we know, because we consulted half a dozen of them. Jim was the only expert with the skills needed for the complex install, and we’re forever grateful to him. For our next project, he will be our first and only call.

Jim’s meticulous perfectionism and intelligent problem solving skills give us the confidence we need to be able to offer our clients super-premium, bespoke wall coverings, knowing that their investment will be treated with precision and loving care. He is a delight to partner with on our most beautiful projects. -Michaela Design - Alexandria, VA

Highly recommend Proper Paint & Paper for wallpaper installation, they did a wonderful job and were very detail oriented. From the initial quote to arranging day and time of installation, Jim was very helpful.

Jim did the wallpaper for our powder room back in the spring and we just recently had him back out to paint and do wallpaper in our nursery. We were extremely pleased with Jim's work on both projects. Neither of us is very design-oriented so we particularly appreciated Jim's suggestions for wallpaper patterns and paint colors - we ended up going with his suggestion for the powder room wallpaper, nursery wallpaper and nursery paint color and love all three. The quality of Jim's work is excellent and the pricing is also very reasonable. And he's a super friendly guy on top of everything else! We will happily reach out to Jim again for our next project.

James did a great job wallpapering our bedroom. It was our first time using wallpaper and we are so glad that we did it. James was easy to work with and had no issues.

James did a great job installing wallpaper in two bathrooms and a nursery. Very happy with how the rooms turned out and he was easy to work with. If I can convince my husband to do more wallpaper, I will hire him again!

Jim was responsive, helpful, and cared about us and the job - he installed wallpaper and it looks beautiful. We could not be happier! Thank you!

I feel so lucky to have found Jim through Houzz! We absolutely LOVE this guy! He can do just about anything and does it well. So far he has done several rooms of painting, installed wainscoting, remodeled a powder room, and installed wallpaper and a mural for us. He listens, he adds his great ideas while staying true to your vision, his pricing is very fair, and he is a lot of fun to have around. As a bonus, he is able to source just about anything you need through his wife who is a talented designer. He is a busy guy, so you may have to wait for him, but your patience will pay off. He is well worth the wait! We will ALWAYS call Jim first from now on!

Jim is so great to work with. I first found him when looking for someone to install wallpaper at my place of work. He did such great work for me there that I asked him to come to my home to install wallpaper. His work is flawless and I can’t believe how fast he gets it done! Would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Jim was a pleasure to work with. He did two rooms of wallpaper and was so easy and professional we called him back for some painting work as well! He's our go-to from now on.
