Our Wall Quotes vinyl decals are made of high quality vinyl (Made in the USA) with a self-adhesive backing. They’re very thin and designed to adhere to many surfaces. We use vinyl with a matte finish so that they literally look as though they’ve been painted on the wall (without all the trouble and mess of actually painting letters on the wall). They’re durable and will last as long as you want to keep them on the wall.

Our vinyl Wall Quotes work perfectly on many surfaces, but they won't stick to heavy or sharp texture, primer, plaster, raw concrete, unfinished wood, wallpaper, untreated canvas, brick, or stucco and are not recommended for unpainted cinder block walls or paneling. If you're wondering whether they'll work on your wall or not, contact us and we can offer more direction and a small free sample to test on the surface.

No. Our vinyl is renter-friendly, home-designer-friendly, and low-maintenance-friendly. We use a high quality vinyl (Made in the USA) with a high quality removable adhesive that allows it to stick to your walls for years and removes easily without any damage or wear to the wall, should you need to move or choose to change your home's décor. Just peel it off with your fingers and wipe the wall down with a warm, damp cloth and you're set.

If however, you are placing the stickers on a wall or door where the paint is already peeling, chipped, or bubbling, this could cause the paint to chip...but this disclaimer sounds remarkably like those that warn against using a hair dryer while in the shower.

Ideally, you should apply the Wall Quotes decal within 3-4 weeks of receiving it. 

If you’ve stored the Wall Quotes for awhile, the transfer tape may not stick well to the letters, making it difficult to get them to release from the backing paper. Or it may stick too well, making it difficult to get the letters to stay on the wall.  It’s still totally possible to make the Wall Quotes work properly and get it to both release from the backing paper and stick to the wall, but it will take more patience and time on your part.  If you’re having trouble, please contact us and we’ll be happy to offer some suggestions to make this process as painless as possible.  But to avoid any complications – we simply suggest applying the Wall Quotes as soon as possible after it arrives in the mail.

The decals will stick to texture within some limitations. We use a high quality vinyl (Made in the USA) that has great flexibility without compromising adhesive strength. If your walls are textured, you’ll need to spend a little extra time to apply pressure to each letter/portion of the graphic during application in order to remove any air bubbles and ensure that the vinyl has conformed to the texture.

Standard orange peel texture offers no problem, you may just need to "bridge" some of those lower spots. Heavier texture, or sharp points might pose problems – you may request a sample (look for the Textured Wall Sample checkbox at the bottom of the form) to try on your wall to ensure adequate adhesion. My walls are textured and that hasn’t stopped me – but it does take a little extra time and careful pressing to get the Wall Quotes to adhere properly. And every so often I need to repress a letter or two to help it reform to the texture. 

Once you have painted, I know you are excited to get your space completed. You'll need to wait 3-4 weeks for new paint to cure.  Although the paint is dry, it takes at least that long to be completely cured. If you apply the vinyl Wall Quotes too soon, the adhesive will be compromised by the chemicals released as the paint cures. Two things can occur - it may stick so well it peels the paint later when you want to change your room's look, or may buckle, stretch, and peel away from the wall shortly after application.

Your vinyl wall decals design will come in three layers -  an opaque transfer tape, the decal itself, and a thick cardstock-like backing paper.  

Place your Wall Quotes decal in just the right spot, then place some painters tape on 1 side. You'll flip it over and peel away the backing paper, exposing the adhesive backing of the design, press it onto the wall, and peel away the transfer tape.  Simple.  Each package comes with complete application instructions and an application tool.

Mistakes happen — and we get it! The good news is that our decals can be removed without damaging your wall. The not-so-good news? They aren’t reusable. But that’s where our Goof Proof Guarantee comes in.

If your installation doesn’t go quite right, we’re happy to offer a replacement at a deep discount (within 30 days of receipt). Just send us a quick photo of the issue — it helps us troubleshoot what went wrong and make sure your second try goes smoother. We’ll get back to you with a replacement price so you can finish your space without missing a beat.

Absolutely!  Just use a microfiber cloth -so the little fibers, like in a paper towel, don’t get stuck on the edges of the letters- and a gentle cleansing solution.  Wipe gently.  I’ve had a Wall Quotes decal on our bathroom mirror for more than five years now.  I clean the mirror regularly with glass cleaner and yes, a paper towel.  Every so often fibers stick to the edges, but I wipe them away with a microfiber cloth and it’s good to go.  Sparkling mirror, wall decal intact! Same holds true when I wash the walls (which, let’s admit it, is fairly rare though the odd crayon incident has inspired a thorough cleaning every now and again).

It actually depends on the quote and the size, but most of our designs do come in one piece. 
A few good rule-of-thumb notes:

• If it's in two (or more) colors, it'll come in two (or more) pieces.
• If both dimensions are larger than 24" it'll come in at least two pieces (again, depending on the total size and the design).
• If it's a custom design, it's kind of hard to say, but we try to keep the design in one piece to make installation as easy as possible.

Wall quote decals are not reusable. The vinyl is designed for a one-time application—during removal, it often stretches, tears, or curls, making it unsuitable for reapplying elsewhere. Unlike stickers, our decals don’t have a solid background; they're made up of individual letters and design elements that were perfectly spaced by a machine during production. Once removed, realigning all those tiny pieces by hand is extremely difficult.

If you think you may want to move your decal in the future, we recommend using it on a portable surface like a picture frame, wooden board, mirror, or decorative plate. That way, you get the same designer look—without committing to one wall.

Our vinyl Wall Quotes decals can be easily removed by placing a fingernail underneath a corner of the letter and pulling away. When removing the vinyl from glass, a windshield, or a mirror, do not use a razor blade as this will separate the vinyl from the adhesive and necessitate the use of a solvent to remove the adhesive. If you pull the vinyl away from the glass it will remove the adhesive at the same time and any trace of the adhesive can be washed away with a warm rag and gentle cleaning solution.

Absolutely!  We also offer full-bleed color printing to eliminate the traditional white border around the graphics and designs (and we can do the traditional white space too). These graphics are also reusable and repositionable (which is awesome). We have both interior temporary material as well as outdoor permanent vinyl perfect for shop windows or your work vechicle.
