Tamiami covers a broad stretch of unincorporated Miami-Dade County spread across three ZIP codes, 33175, 33182 and 33184, and it lies about ten miles southwest of our Hialeah location. Because the community is large, we work in everything from compact starter homes to roomy houses with high ceilings and open great rooms. Rather than describe our services in general terms, this page walks through the rooms Tamiami owners most often call us about and what each one needs to look good and last in a humid climate.
Living and Family Rooms
Open layouts are common here, which means the living room often flows straight into the kitchen and dining area. That makes the choice of wall tricky: paper the whole space and it can feel heavy, paper the wrong wall and it looks random. We usually suggest the wall that faces you as you enter or the wall behind the main seating, since those are the surfaces people actually look at.
Large-scale murals and bold geometric prints shine in these rooms. So does grasscloth, as long as the space has consistent air conditioning and the wall is not near the cooking zone. When a room has high ceilings, we plan the vertical layout so a pattern does not end awkwardly just above the crown molding.
Bedrooms and Nurseries
A headboard wall is the most requested bedroom project we take on in Tamiami. It changes the feel of the room without the cost and time of covering four walls. For nurseries and kids' rooms, parents frequently pick washable vinyl or peel-and-stick, knowing tastes will change in a few years.
Bedrooms on the exterior side of a concrete-block house can run slightly damp if the AC is set high or the room is used rarely. We check those walls with a meter and adjust primer or material choice if readings are elevated.
Kitchens, Baths and Laundry Rooms
Wet rooms test any covering. Steam from showers and dishwashers, splashes behind sinks and warm air from dryers all push moisture into seams. Our recommendation for these spaces is a vinyl or vinyl-coated product, installed over a sealed, primed wall with tight, well-rolled seams.
In powder rooms, which see little steam, owners have more freedom. A dramatic dark pattern or a metallic finish can turn a small half bath into one of the most memorable rooms in the house.
- Bathrooms with showers: scrubbable vinyl and a working exhaust fan
- Powder rooms: nearly any paper, including metallics and dark prints
- Kitchens: vinyl near sinks and ranges, decorative paper on a breakfast-nook wall
- Laundry rooms: durable, wipeable coverings that tolerate warm air
Ceilings, Hallways and Entryways
Ceiling paper is a quiet way to add character without touching the walls at all. A soft texture or a subtle print overhead works nicely in a dining room or an entry foyer. Hallways, on the other hand, need toughness more than drama, because hands, bags and vacuum cleaners scuff them daily.
Entryways in South Florida homes see sandy shoes and humid air every time the front door opens, so we lean toward durable coverings there and save fragile materials for interior rooms.
Getting Walls Ready and Planning the Date
Whatever the room, removal and prep come first. We strip old wallpaper, wash off adhesive residue, repair dents and cracks and apply a primer designed for wallcoverings. Skipping these steps is the fastest route to bubbles and lifting edges.
For scheduling, keep in mind that the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. We will move an install if a storm could knock out power and leave fresh paste drying in a hot, unconditioned room. Tamiami clients also benefit from our regular trips to Sweetwater, Doral, West Miami, Medley and Miami Springs, and local businesses can book commercial vinyl for offices and retail spaces.
