Honoring Architectural Heritage Through Expert Wallpaper Restoration

Los Angeles is home to an extraordinary collection of historic architecture, from Victorian mansions in Angelino Heights to Spanish Colonial Revival estates in Hancock Park, from Craftsman bungalows throughout the city to Art Deco masterpieces in Downtown LA. These treasured properties deserve wallpaper restoration that honors their heritage while meeting modern standards of quality and durability. A-Strip Away Wallpaper specializes in historic wallpaper restoration that preserves the character of these architectural gems.

Our historic restoration services go beyond simple wallpaper installation. We understand the importance of period authenticity, working with reproduction wallpapers that faithfully recreate the patterns, colors, and textures of bygone eras. Whether you're restoring a Victorian parlor, a Craftsman dining room, or a mid-century modern living space, our team has the expertise to select and install wallpapers that transport your historic home back to its original glory.

Our Historic Restoration Expertise

Period Research: We help identify appropriate wallpaper styles for your home's era and architectural style. Our knowledge of historic wallpaper trends allows us to recommend patterns that would have been used when your home was built, ensuring authentic restoration.

Reproduction Wallpapers: We work with leading manufacturers of historic reproduction wallpapers, including Bradbury & Bradbury, Morris & Co., and other specialists who faithfully recreate period designs using traditional techniques and materials.

Traditional Installation Techniques: Historic wallpapers often require traditional installation methods that differ from modern practices. Our craftsmen are trained in these techniques, ensuring proper application that respects both the wallpaper and your historic walls.

Careful Wall Preparation: Historic plaster walls require special care during preparation. We use gentle methods that preserve original plaster while creating the smooth surface needed for quality installation.

Documentation: For properties seeking historic designation or tax credits, we provide documentation of our restoration work, including before and after photographs and detailed descriptions of materials and methods used.
