Customers say: True professional

"Frank did a fantastic job wallpapering & painting my front entryway and staircase. The space has tricky walls, with odd shapes and dimensions, but Frank was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the process, from helping me figure out how many rolls of wallpaper to order, to laying out the wallpaper so that every weird angle appeared to join up seamlessly. He was professional throughout the process and easy to work with. Would recommend!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 STARS – URBINA’S PAINTING COMPANY! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🎨🏡 WOW! Where do I even begin?! Juan and his crew at Urbina’s Painting Company were absolutely AMAZING! My neighbor and I decided to have both of our homes painted, so I contacted six different painting companies and received six separate estimates. Urbina’s was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive, but what stood out to me immediately was Juan’s professionalism, knowledge, organization, and confidence in his work. From the moment Juan came out to give us an estimate, he had all his ducks in a row! He knew exactly what needed to be done, explained everything clearly, and put together a solid plan. I knew right then that he was the guy for the job! And let me tell you, THESE GUYS DO NOT MESS AROUND! 💪 They started painting BOTH houses on Monday and were completely finished by Wednesday! Yes, TWO houses in THREE days, and the quality of their work is absolutely OUTSTANDING!"

"The approximate cost was $1300. The guys were nice. But the paint job isn't holding up that well. From the wall were my alarm is when the wall gets touch the paint is coming off. I don't think they did do a primer. It's not holding up I can see were it needs to be touched up in hallway and the laundry room where they painted and same in the kitchen. They were kind of in a hurry so they didn't spend time on prep. That's the kind of comment I will make to future customer. It looks good but they don't do a lot of prep. There were areas that have to be touched up.  It's not even a full year yet. They kind of want to get in and out.  Initially he came in with a price. He verbally gave me quotes for each room and because I am a female. He went outside to his truck to come back with the final bill and it was 3 times than what he said for each room. I say to him I guess I have to give you a not so great review on Angie's List because the quote and the integrity of all that is part of why I use Angie's List. When I said that he called me back and said oh I'm so sorry I don't know what I was thinking. That wasn't the quote I wanted to give you. I am like oh my god if I hadn't said that this guy will be taking me to the cleaners. They were on time. They were professional."

"Walt was wonderful to work with. He does a spectacular job, with great attention to detail. The price matches the quality, so be forewarned. =) The job was to paint all the interior walls in a 4br, 2ba, 1930 sq ft house. The job did not include trim, or ceilings. Some rooms have vaulted ceilings. The house was unoccupied and unfurnished at the time. Walt originally expected the job to take 8-10 business days, but was able to complete in about 5. Overall, I am extremely happy with the work, and I'll happily work with him again to paint the exterior, and the trim/ceilings at some point."

"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."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

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.

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.
