Walls of Distinction is Paul Pizanno's wallpaper-hanging operation out of Saugus (sometimes working alongside a second installer, William), and what separates the 64 reviews on file from ordinary five-star praise is how often people describe the technical problem he solved, not just how nice he was. A 2024 review recounts him mapping out the math so a complicated repeat pattern would center perfectly across a 13-foot dining room ceiling; a 2022 review describes cutting and rematching a Spoonflower pattern that came with an unavoidable seam overlap so the finished wall read as flat. A 2025 reviewer, self-described as 25 years in interior design, singled out how he painted the switch-plate screws to match the wallpaper pattern. That level of care shows up across a wide range of jobs — accent walls, full bathrooms, staircases, entryways, a 13-foot ceiling, and rooms with tricky corners, niches and wrapped switches — and it isn't limited to wallpaper: several reviews describe Paul painting cabinetry, ceilings and walls alongside a paper-hanging job. A 2024 review mentions a two-decade relationship spanning two different houses, and several others describe calling him back repeatedly as new rooms come up. Scheduling is a recurring theme in both directions: reviewers frequently mention getting an accurate quote quickly, sometimes from just a few text photos, and jobs finishing on time or early — though a couple of 2024 reviews note his calendar runs busy enough that a booking can mean a wait, which people say was worth it for the result. Every review on file, 64 of them dating back to 2021, is five stars, and the company holds an A+ BBB grade. There's no complaint anywhere in the record to weigh against that. Given the demand, the main thing worth doing before calling is getting on the schedule early, especially for a job with a hard deadline.

Paul was referred to us by someone in the business that we respect and trust. He and his team did not disappoint! Lovely to work with, clearly cared deeply about the job they did and both prep work and wallpaper installation were meticulous as was the cleanup each day. So appreciative of Paul and his team!
Five stars plus! Paul recently wallpapered a small half bath / powder room for us. Paul was a pleasure to work with and an absolute craftsman at his trade. The job was started as scheduled and was completed on time. Paul is a true professional. For anyone requiring paper hanging, I highly recommend Calling Paul at "Walls of Distinction"
Paul was so wonderful to work with, efficient yet careful with his work, and very professional. I would definitely recommend him for your next project.
Paul is phenomenal and I would recommend him to everyone I can! He wallpapered an accent wall in my daughter’s bedroom, as well as our very tall stairwell. We are so happy with the results - everything looks amazing! He was extremely efficient, neat and so kind to my 3 little kids who had lots of questions and comments about the work going on. I will absolutely work with him again for our next project - great experience all around!
Five stars for sure. From the day I requested a quote through the day the job was completed, Paul was extremely responsive and professional. He wallpapered a small bathroom for us and did an impeccable job. I would definitely hire Paul again and recommend him to anyone looking for quality work.
