The short answer
Dream Wallpaper Installers serves Pembroke Pines, including ZIPs 33024, 33026 and 33028, about ten miles north of Hialeah. We smooth textured drywall, then install accent walls, murals, grasscloth, vinyl and full rooms of wallpaper.
Pembroke Pines is one of the larger cities in Broward County, and the parts of it closest to us, ZIP codes 33024, 33026 and 33028, sit about ten miles north of our Hialeah base. Much of the housing there was built in planned subdivisions, with drywall interiors, open floor plans, and tall walls in great rooms and foyers. Those features make the city an interesting place to hang wallpaper. A two-story entry wall or a vaulted living room can carry a large-scale pattern that would overwhelm a smaller space, while the sprayed texture common on builder-grade drywall needs attention before anything goes up. We install wallpaper of all kinds, take down old paper, build accent walls, hang murals and ceilings, prep and repair walls, and handle commercial wallcovering.
Smoothing out builder texture
Many Pembroke Pines homes have orange peel or knockdown texture sprayed over the drywall. It hides minor flaws in paint, but under wallpaper it shows as a bumpy, uneven surface, and thin papers will telegraph every high point. Peel and stick products also struggle, because the adhesive only touches the peaks of the texture.
The fix is a skim coat. We sand down the sharpest points, apply a thin layer of joint compound across the whole wall, let it dry, sand it smooth, and prime it. In the wet season, drying takes longer, so we plan the schedule around that rather than rushing to hang paper on compound that is still soft underneath.
If your walls are already smooth, prep is lighter: patching nail holes, cleaning, and priming with a product that suits the paper.
Big walls, high ceilings and open plans
Open floor plans raise a design question: where does the wallpaper stop? Without natural breaks, it can be hard to decide. We help you choose a wall that has clear edges, such as a dining nook, a fireplace or TV wall, or the wall behind a staircase, so the pattern reads as intentional.
Tall walls bring practical challenges too. Pattern matching becomes more visible over long drops, so we confirm the repeat and order extra rolls. We use scaffolding or tall ladders to keep strips plumb from top to bottom, and we plan seam locations so they do not land at eye level in the middle of a busy motif.
- Two-story foyers suit large botanicals, scenic murals or bold geometrics
- Great room feature walls work well in grasscloth or textured vinyl
- Tray and coffered ceilings can take a contrasting paper inside the recessed panel
- Home offices and loft spaces are good places for a custom mural
- Laundry and mudrooms benefit from scrubbable vinyl
HOA communities and inside-the-home work
Most Pembroke Pines subdivisions have homeowners associations. Interior wallpaper rarely needs association approval, but some communities set rules on contractor parking, work hours, and gate access. Let us know about any gate codes or guest registration ahead of time so our crew is not stuck at the entrance.
Inside, we protect flooring along the path from the door to the work room, move and cover furniture, and remove outlet and switch plates. When we leave, the room is cleaned and ready to live in.
Climate and timing in Broward
Pembroke Pines has the same tropical weather as the rest of South Florida. From May through October, heat, humidity and daily storms are the norm. Large homes with open layouts often have one air handler serving a big volume of space, and rooms far from the return can stay humid. During installation, we keep the AC set to a steady temperature and the doors closed, and we let seams set before final trimming.
Hurricane season, from June 1 to November 30, means we keep an eye on the forecast. We postpone if a storm threatens, and we check walls for moisture after any leak or flooding.
Natural fibers in a humid city
Grasscloth, sisal and other natural wallcoverings are popular in Pembroke Pines living and dining rooms. They bring warmth and texture, but they absorb moisture and can stain if water or paste touches the face. We install them with extra care, keep them out of bathrooms and kitchens, and suggest a textured vinyl look-alike where a room sees steam or splashes.
Our crews also work in nearby Miramar, Miami Lakes, Miami Gardens, Hialeah Gardens and Opa-locka.
