Paperhanger Jobs in Durham, NC

A Paperhanger is a professional who specializes in applying wallpapers, fabrics, and other materials to walls and ceilings. They are responsible for measuring surfaces, cutting wallpaper to the correct size, mixing and applying adhesive, and ensuring the wallpaper is properly aligned and smooth. They also prepare surfaces by removing old wallpaper or paint, filling cracks and holes, and sanding and priming surfaces as needed. Paperhangers play a crucial role in the construction industry, contributing to the final aesthetic and finish of a building's interior.

Important skills for a Paperhanger include attention to detail, manual dexterity, physical stamina, and a good eye for design and color. They should also have strong customer service skills, as they often work directly with clients. Certification programs, such as the Wallcovering Installers Association's Certified Paperhanger designation, can enhance a Paperhanger's credibility and demonstrate their commitment to their craft. Prior to becoming a Paperhanger, a person may have roles such as a Painter, Drywall Installer, or Construction Laborer to gain experience in the industry and develop their skills in surface preparation and finishing.
