The short answer
Dream Wallpaper Installers serves Ojus, an unincorporated Miami-Dade community about ten miles northeast of Hialeah. We install and remove all common wallcoverings, including renter-friendly peel and stick, and fix the wall surface first.
Ojus is an unincorporated community in northeastern Miami-Dade County, around ten miles northeast of Hialeah, and it is part of the territory our installers cover every week. Homes here range from apartments and condominiums to modest houses, and plenty of residents rent rather than own. That shapes the kind of projects we see: removable wallcoverings, quick bedroom refreshes, one dramatic wall instead of four, and careful stripping of paper that a past occupant left behind. We also take on full installations of traditional, grasscloth and vinyl papers, murals, and ceilings, along with the wall preparation and repair that make any of them last.
Options for people who rent
If your lease says no permanent changes, peel and stick wallpaper is the usual answer. It can transform a bedroom or a kitchen backsplash area in an afternoon, and when you move out, it peels off. That said, removable products are not foolproof in South Florida. On a dusty, freshly painted, or heavily textured wall, the adhesive may let go once the summer humidity sets in. We clean the wall, check that the paint has fully cured, and, if the surface is rough, talk with you about whether the result will be worth it.
Another approach is a traditional paper hung over a removable primer designed for strippable wallcoverings. With the landlord's permission, that gives you a richer look while still leaving a clean wall later. We are happy to explain the difference so you can bring it up with the property manager.
Small rooms, strong statements
Compact living spaces make a single feature surface especially effective. Some ideas that work well in Ojus apartments and condos:
- A deep-toned accent wall behind the headboard to anchor a small bedroom
- Patterned paper on the ceiling of a windowless powder room
- A scenic mural on the wall facing the entry so it is the first thing guests see
- Grasscloth on one living room wall for texture without visual clutter
- Scrubbable vinyl in a galley kitchen or laundry nook
- A narrow hallway finished in a vertical stripe to make the ceiling feel taller
Humidity, cooling and timing
Ojus shares the region's tropical climate: hot, humid and stormy from May through October, drier and milder from November into April. Wallpaper paste needs steady, conditioned air to dry evenly. We ask that the AC run during installation and for at least a day afterward, and that windows stay closed. Rooms that get afternoon sun through a west-facing window can heat up fast, so we sometimes start on those walls early in the day.
We follow the tropical forecasts from June 1 to November 30. If a system threatens, we postpone. Any wall that took on water during a storm gets checked with a moisture meter before paper goes on, because sealing damp drywall under a vinyl surface can lead to mold behind it.
Getting the wall ready
Most failures we are called to fix trace back to poor preparation, not bad paper. Before we hang anything in Ojus, we remove outlet plates, fill nail holes and dents, sand ridges from old patches, smooth textured surfaces when needed, and apply a primer matched to the wallcovering. Glossy paint gets dulled so the primer can bond. If old paper is present, we strip it entirely rather than layering over it.
For condo owners, we also confirm any association rules on contractor hours, elevator use and debris removal so the job does not run into trouble with the building.
Nearby communities and commercial work
From Ojus, our routes extend to North Miami, Miami Gardens, Opa-locka, Miami Lakes and over the county line to Miramar. Small businesses in the area, such as offices, salons and clinics, can book commercial vinyl wallcovering that stands up to daily traffic and cleaning, scheduled outside business hours when that helps.
