Paperhanger Jobs in Moss Point, MS

A Paperhanger is a professional who specializes in applying wallpapers, fabrics, and other materials to walls and ceilings. They are responsible for measuring surfaces, cutting wallpaper to the correct size, mixing and applying adhesive, and ensuring the wallpaper is properly aligned and smooth.

Certification programs, such as the Wallcovering Installers Association's Certified Paperhanger designation, can enhance a Paperhanger's credibility and demonstrate their commitment to their craft. Prior to becoming a Paperhanger, a person may have roles such as a Painter, Drywall Installer, or Construction Laborer to gain experience in the industry and develop their skills in surface preparation and finishing.
