"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."

Hi I'm Candace and I would be thrilled to install your wallpaper. I've been installing beautiful designs on walls for over 20 years in San Jose Los Gatos Saratoga Morgan Hill Los Altos Willow Glen Atherton and basically the greater part of the Santa Clara valley. When you contact my cell by text I can respond within minutes, unless I'm on a ladder creating a masterpiece of color and design for my client. I am a one woman business working in a mans world, but I install with patience, cleanliness, detail and experience and never forget to pet the dog or greet the children. I have been a trusted vendor in all homes for many years and work with several interior designers and contractors. Candace 408 823-4112

Professional team in Contra Costa handling tough painting tasks since 1990, reasonable & affordable rates. Providing lower rates than the market, Services, and 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. I am a 20+ year painter and so is my crew. We have plenty of experience as journeymen painters and are looking to make your house look beautiful and new again.

"Working with Art and his team at Jenuine Painting on the exterior painting of our home was absolutely great! They were very communicative, punctual and professional. Our house is an older house and the paint was in bad shape. There was a lot of prep work required and they did a phenomenal job paying attention to the details to ensure things were done correctly and also to ensure the overall finish of the job would look great! They were very realistic about the overall scope of work and they were able to knock the job out in 2.5 days. They've followed up since completing the job and made sure to emphasize if we notice anything the more the paint settles to not hesitate to give them a call. I'd definitely work with them again and have already given some referrals to our friends and family looking for similar work. I'd recommend them and their services to anyone!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.
