Paper Boy Wallpaper is a Quincy-area outfit built entirely around wallpaper — bathrooms, nurseries, ceilings, basements, murals — and Joey, the owner, is the name that comes up in nearly every one of the 79 reviews on file. Recent Google reviews (13 in the last six months, none negative) keep circling the same handful of things: he shows up on time, communicates clearly through the whole process, and handles the fussy parts other installers avoid — mismatched corners, hard-to-cut specialty papers, ceilings, tricky borders around old wiring and radiators. In a 2025 review, one customer described a mural job done twelve feet up a ladder at a Duxbury high school stairwell; another, also from 2025, had him redo a wallpaper job a previous company had botched. This isn't a lucky streak — it's 79 reviews spanning 2024 through 2026, nearly all five stars, with customers naming specific rooms (bedrooms, powder rooms, entire finished basements) and often coming back for a second or third room once the first one was done. Pricing gets called fair and predictable more than once, and when something goes slightly wrong after the fact — a corner lifting from humidity in one early-2026 review, some final touch-ups needed after a plumbing job in another early-2026 review — Joey is described going back to fix it without being chased. A couple of older reviews — one from late 2025, one from early 2025 — mention other names on the crew: Shane installing and doing ceiling touch-up painting, and Cindy handling a job solo. So it isn't always Joey personally hanging the paper, worth asking about if that matters. There's nothing negative here to weigh against the praise: the real decision is picking the room and the pattern, not vetting the contractor.
