Joe hangs wallpaper across the South Shore, and what keeps showing up in what customers say about him is speed and follow-through, not sales talk. His HomeAdvisor listing, The Paper Boy, puts him in Plymouth with 11 years of experience and marks the business veteran-owned; the same shop shows up on Thumbtack as Paper Boy Wallpapering Co., listed there in Quincy. In a July 2026 review, a homeowner called him “professional, communicative, and skilled” after wallpapering a powder room and an accent wall in the living room. That's typical: 30 written reviews between 2022 and 2026 across HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack, and not one of them is negative — HomeAdvisor shows a 5.0 from 34 ratings, Thumbtack a 5.0 from 64. Reviewers going back to 2022 describe the same pattern of showing up on time and staying in touch during scheduling, and in a 2025 review one customer said Joe came in and redid a wallpaper job for a lower cost after a different company had disappointed them. The jobs described are mostly powder rooms, accent walls, kitchens, and full re-papers. A 2024 review from a Hingham homeowner said they'd struggled to find a wallpaper hanger willing to take the job before finding Joe, and another 2024 review describes four accent walls installed in Brookline. A December 2025 review noted he coordinated the paint work alongside the wallpaper on a hallway job, so painting sometimes comes bundled with the wallpaper work rather than being a separate trade. Worth checking before booking: HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack don't agree on the basics — HomeAdvisor lists the business in Plymouth with 11 years of experience, Thumbtack lists it in Quincy with 7 — so confirm which town he's actually working out of and how long he's been doing this. For a single room or an accent wall, The Paper Boy is a solid call on the South Shore; ask directly about current pricing, since none of the reviews mention rates beyond a couple of comparisons to other quotes.
Joey is amazing! He was professional, communicative, and skilled. He did our powder room and an accent wall in our living room. We have gotten so many compliments already, and I would highly recommend him!
Joe wallpapered our half bathroom in our new house and were very happy with the final look of the room! He was very responsive and came back for some touch-ups that were needed after some final plumbing installation was done.
Joey did an amazing job installing wallpaper in my bathroom. He was on time, organized and tidy. I highly recommend him.
A seamless process from start to finish. From our first conversation about wallpapering my home office, Joey was communicative and helpful as I decided which wallpaper to order (and how many rolls!). His work is thorough and precise, I absolutely love the finished product. Hope to use him again in the future.
Joey is the best! Super responsive and worked so quickly. My powder room has been transformed! Cant wait to use Paperboy again.
