"Fantastic. My house looks terrific. Gene walked the house with me and assured me that his team could address all my concerns, including cracked stuuco and dry rot. They did a great job and everything looks better than I could ever hope for. They even managed to match old paint colors from 40 years ago, that are no longer available. I would recommend and use Gene's Painting again in a heartbeat."

Are you searching for a reliable painting contractor in San Jose, CA who understands your unique needs and delivers exceptional results? Look no further Urbina's Painting Company is a locally owned and operated business with a passion for transforming residential and commercial spaces into vibrant works of art. Since we began in 2018, we've been dedicated to providing top-notch painting services that exceed your expectations.

"We recently hired Urbinas to paint our front door and wouldn't recommend them. Ulysses came out to paint the door only to tell us that he wasn't able to paint a door that wasn't hung in the doorway and asked us to get our contractor to hang the door and install the hardware before painting. After having the door installed Ulysses and his father painted the door but forgot to paint the top and bottom of the door which voided our warranty with the door company. The door company came out and asked if we had hired someone who was licensed and bonded because the work didn't reflect someone who follows the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America standards. When we asked for a refund Ulysses blamed us saying we should have told him to paint the top and bottom and we are now left with a door that is now out of warranty and have to pay for another licensed and bonded painter to fix the mistake."

At Cosmic Renovation and Roofing, we offer years of professional experience and product expertise. We specialize in high quality residential upgrades and services such as roof installations, cool roof paint, solar installations, windows, full home remodeling including kitchen, bath and room additions as well as hardscape and historical house renovation. We take pride in combining innovation, industry knowledge and exceptional customer care with every project we do.

"Project Lead: Ben The Job: Rooftop Deck above garage needed to be ripped out and replace, new drainage needed to be installed The Good: Ben was very enthusiastic about the job and is a very nice guy. He made sure to explain what the job would entail, what needed to be done, why the problems were happening, ect. He was understanding about the funds for the job being locked up until the sale of one of my other properties went through. The beginning of the job went great, the framing was done well, more ceiling beams had to be replaced than originally thought which they did for no extra charge and they had some higher quality top layer material left over from another job that they used at no additional cost to us. The Bad: Going back to the demo part of the job, we were told that there was no need to move the boxes and various other things we had in the garage out or to cover them. Nobody covered them and so now we have boxes full of plywood debris from ripping up the deck. After the initial large work was done, a team was no longer sent out to do the finishing work. It was one guy, who came out 2-3 times a week, and we rarely got any notice on what days those would be. Often we were told he would be showing up one day, but then no one would show up with no explanation. Repeatedly we were told “oh, the guy is going to come out and finish the job on x day”, but then no one would show up, and when he did the job was not finished. We were told the job would take 10 days (and that that was estimating on the long side). The job was started on March 29th and didn’t finish until May 19th. It happened several times that Ben asked if I was free for him to come and discuss things later in the day, but then he would be a no show. There was a general lack of quality control with the finished work. Instead of quality control being done by the contractor, I had to go and find all of the problems myself (of which there were many on the first pass) and complain about them. Then the one guy came out a week later to fix them, but then new things came up, and I would have to complain about them, ect. In the end I just kind of felt it was ‘good enough’ and was so exhausted with the back and forth and taking time out of my work day to inspect the work and discuss what was wrong I just said it was fine so I could go on with my life."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

Most experts would not recommend hanging wallpaper over existing wallpaper more than twice. Even if the walls are in good condition and primed well, that third layer of wallpaper could cause problems with adhesion. Unless you like bubbling paint and peeling wallpaper as an interior design choice, it’s better to remove at least one existing layer before adding any more to a wall.
