About A Helpful Handyman LLC

Professional Wallpaper Installation With a Focus on Quality

Hi, I’m Greg Hawley, owner of A Helpful Handyman LLC. I provide professional wallpaper and wallcovering installation throughout Panama City Beach, Panama City, 30A, Santa Rosa Beach, Sandestin, Destin, and surrounding areas of Northwest Florida.

I have five years of hands-on wallpaper installation experience, along with approximately 80 hours of specialized online wallpaper installation training and continuing education.

While A Helpful Handyman began as a general handyman business, wallpaper installation has become my primary specialty. Today, the majority of my work involves installing wallpaper and specialty wallcoverings for homeowners, interior designers, property owners, and contractors.

I work with traditional wallpaper, non-woven wallcoverings, designer wallpaper, grasscloth, murals, Mylar and metallic wallcoverings, paste-the-wall products, paste-the-paper products, and other specialty materials.

Wallpaper Installation Is Different From General Handyman Work

Wallpaper—especially expensive designer wallcoverings—requires patience, careful preparation, accurate layout, precise pattern matching, and an understanding of how different materials behave.

I approach every installation with those details in mind.

Proper wall preparation is particularly important. Depending on the condition of the wall and the wallcovering being installed, preparation may include sanding, repairs, cleaning, priming or sealing before installation begins.

I also review the wallpaper specifications before installation so I can account for factors such as roll width, pattern repeat, pattern match, wall height, material type, adhesive requirements, and the manufacturer's installation instructions.

My goal isn't simply to get wallpaper onto the wall. My goal is to turn wallpaper into artwork—using careful layout, precise installation, and attention to detail to make the wallcovering an intentional part of the room's design.

High-End & Designer Wallcoverings

Many of my clients are investing in wallpaper that can be expensive, delicate, or difficult to replace.

I regularly work with homeowners and designers who expect a high level of care in their homes. That means protecting the work area, keeping the installation clean and organized, carefully handling the wallcovering, and taking the time necessary to achieve the best result the material and room will allow.

I don't look at wallpaper as simply something that covers a wall. Done correctly, it becomes part of the artwork of the room. Pattern placement, symmetry, seams, corners and transitions all contribute to the finished appearance.

Every wallpaper behaves differently, so I don't believe in treating every installation the same way.

Serving Panama City Beach, 30A & Destin

A Helpful Handyman LLC is based in the Panama City Beach area and provides professional wallpaper installation throughout much of the surrounding Florida Panhandle, including:

Panama City Beach • Panama City • 30A • Santa Rosa Beach • Rosemary Beach • Seaside • WaterColor • Grayton Beach • Miramar Beach • Sandestin • Destin

For larger or specialty wallpaper projects, additional surrounding areas may also be available.

More Than Wallpaper

Although professional wallpaper installation is my primary focus, I continue to provide select handyman services for homeowners and property owners.

These services are intentionally limited to the types of projects I can perform to the same standard I expect from my wallpaper work, including select TV installations, door and cabinet adjustments, shelving, dryer vent cleaning, and other basic home projects.

I also offer Home Maintenance Plans for out-of-town property owners who want a trusted local professional to periodically inspect their property and help identify maintenance concerns before they become larger problems.

My Approach

I built A Helpful Handyman around a simple idea:

Show up when you say you will. Communicate clearly. Respect the client's home. Do the work correctly. Leave the area clean.

I would rather take the additional time necessary to do a job properly than rush through an installation simply to finish faster.

Whether I'm installing a single wallpaper accent wall or working with a designer on specialty wallcoverings throughout a home, my objective is the same: provide professional workmanship and turn a quality wallcovering into a finished installation that looks like artwork.
