Wallpaper Trade Partnership Program
Build a working relationship around reliable wallpaper planning. Shotcount welcomes interior designers, contractors and builders seeking an installation partner for projects in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia. The conversation begins with your project type, standards and preferred way of working.
Support the design process early
Share specifications, drawings and wallcovering selections before installation dates are fixed. We can review practical hanging considerations, surface readiness and questions that may affect the order or layout.
Establish a repeatable working process
We discuss who supplies materials, who approves layout decisions and how project updates should be handled. Clear handoffs between designer, contractor and installer help each project move from specification to a finished room. Partnership arrangements are tailored to the agreed scope.
Wallpaper installation support for designers and architects
Bring Shotcount into the conversation while wallcoverings, elevations and room details are being specified. For projects in Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia, discuss pattern placement, transitions, ceilings and access before the installation schedule is finalized.
Working with an out-of-town design team
Planning a local project from another city? Identify one design decision-maker and one on-site contact. Share annotated elevations and photographs, then agree how layout questions, site readiness and progress updates should be handled. Confirm the communication schedule and approval responsibilities in the project scope.
What to include in your trade project brief
- Project city and ZIP code, property type and your role on the team.
- Room names, wall heights and widths, elevations and photographs showing corners, trim and existing finishes.
- Manufacturer, collection, product number, colorway, roll or panel dimensions, pattern repeat and current hanging instructions.
- Who orders and receives materials, anticipated delivery dates and available spare material.
- Existing wallpaper, repairs, other trades, access restrictions and target installation window.
- The person authorized to approve layout, scope changes and completion.
From specification to installation
- Review the brief: identify missing product or site information before preparing a scope.
- Confirm readiness: discuss wall preparation, material quantities, access and sequencing with other trades.
- Agree the work: confirm responsibilities, pricing, timing and approval points in writing.
- Coordinate the handoff: establish who receives project updates and reviews the finished installation.
Send a trade project inquiry or email info@shotcount.com with “Trade project” and the project city in the subject. Please identify any requested deadline; availability is confirmed for each project.
Can you work with our specified wallpaper brand?
Send the exact product reference and manufacturer instructions for review. Suitability depends on the material, substrate and site conditions; brand names alone do not establish the installation requirements.
Can a remote designer approve the layout?
Tell us which decisions require your approval and who can act on site. Agree the drawings, photographs and sign-off process before work starts.
