For Designers & Architects — Our Trade Program

You spent weeks getting a hand-painted scenic or a $400-a-yard silk approved. The order is non-returnable and back-ordered twelve weeks. Then it arrives, and the whole job comes down to whoever shows up to hang it. A bad seam, a mismatched repeat, a panel hung out of sequence, paste bleeding onto a silk face: any one of those becomes a conversation you have to have with your client, and it lands on you, not the installer. That is the real exposure on a luxury interior. It is why most designers keep one installer they trust and refuse to gamble on anyone else. We built this trade program to be that installer. Steve Cusimano started hanging wallcovering at 21 in a prince’s palace in Saudi Arabia, and 42 years later that same standard goes on every wall we touch. We hang grasscloth, silk, hand-painted scenics, murals, and the delicate specialty lines that make designers nervous, with the surface prep, sequencing, and seam discipline those materials demand. The license behind it (Florida CBC 1258403) means the same accountable partner handles the prep, the substrate, and any build work the wall needs first.

• Do you install client-supplied (COM) wallcovering?

  Yes — most luxury trade work is client- or designer-supplied. We receive and log every roll, check dye lots and panel sequence against the packing list, and flag short or damaged goods before install day so a back-order doesn’t blow up your schedule the morning of. We store the material in conditioned space until we hang it.

• Are you experienced with high-end lines like de Gournay and Fromental?

  Yes. We install hand-painted scenics and panels from lines such as de Gournay, Fromental, and Gracie, grasscloth and natural textures from Phillip Jeffries, and specialty and textile goods from Pierre Frey, Scalamandré, and Maya Romanoff. For each line we follow the manufacturer’s own install spec. These are not interchangeable, and treating them as if they are is how expensive paper gets ruined.

• Can you provide references and proof of insurance?

  Yes to both. We provide trade references on request: designers, hospitality owners, and the GCs we work under. We carry full general-liability coverage with certificates issued to your firm or the GC, and we stand behind a written workmanship guarantee, so if a seam or panel is on us, we correct it.

• How far in advance do you need to be scheduled, and can you work off-hours?

  For a single delicate room, a couple of weeks’ notice is usually enough; multi-room residences and commercial scopes want more lead time so we can hold a named crew for you. We routinely work evenings, weekends, and phased schedules in occupied homes, hotels, and clubs so the install never disrupts your client’s life or the GC’s sequence.

• How do you protect my relationship with my client?

  We work under your name and stay in our lane. Design questions go back to you, we never solicit your client directly, and we keep the install quiet and clean. Our job is to make you look right for specifying us. We have no interest in coming between you and the people who hired you.
