Wallpaper is back in Metro Detroit—bold murals in Corktown lofts, subtle grasscloth accents in Grosse Pointe colonials, and everything between. Yet many homeowners still hesitate because they do not know the true cost of installation. CountBricks eliminates the guesswork. Our AI-powered platform listens to your site visit, pulls real-time Detroit material prices, and instantly produces a line-item estimate, invoice, and schedule. Whether you are a general contractor managing multiple trades or a DIY-minded homeowner hiring a subcontractor, CountBricks keeps your wallpaper project on budget and on time.
Regional labor rates in Southeast Michigan are lower than coastal cities but higher than rural counties. CountBricks benchmarks current union and non-union painter/paperhanger rates, so your estimate reflects today’s market instead of last year’s averages.
Historic housing stock means many Detroit walls are plaster, not drywall. That shifts prep work and adhesive choices. CountBricks automatically flags substrate repairs and includes skim-coat or lining-paper tasks when our AI hears phrases like “cracked plaster” during your walkthrough.
Climate considerations matter. Humid summers and dry winters cause expansion and contraction. Our material library recommends Detroit-tested primers and mold-resistant adhesives to prevent seams from peeling.
• Material (single roll mid-grade vinyl): $115–$145
• Adhesives, primers, sundries: $35–$55
• Surface prep and minor wall repair: $110–$180
• Installation labor (two installers, one day): $350–$450
• Cleanup and debris removal: $25–$40
Total via CountBricks real-time data: $635–$870
