The foundation of A+ painting is built on doing the job right, and doing it right only. Family owned and operated business since the early 90's and branch out in 2005. Our core goals in every job is to examine the condition of the surfaces, make recommendations, and to resolve any issues with the job. Then, the next step is the right prep work, applying primers, then finishes. We use products from professional companies like Sherwin Williams, Kelly Moore, etc. The range of the products could be from contractor grades to premiums. But we highly recommend premium products to have long lasting results. We offer free on sight visit and color consultation. We do have reviews on other websites, and they could be viewed upon request. Again, our main goal is a happy, -long term client. And we intend to provide that to you. In Santa Clara County call 408-391-1009. In San Mateo County call 650-906-7072.

"Pattern, Precision, Perfection! My bathroom elevated! I am so happy I found Sarah with Marie’s Wallpaper. I had purchased peel and stick wallpaper from Serena and Lilly with the idea of doing the job myself. Then I decided it may be above my pay grade and I better hire a pro. If you’re wondering if you need a pro? Trust me, you do. And Sarah is the pro you need. She was very honest with me about her concerns (which I appreciate). Ultimately, I went with her suggestions and the project turned out beautifully. The intricate pattern is perfectly matched and the way she handled the textured wall made it look smooth. Plus, she’s really sweet and fun to work with. I would 100% recommend her and I will be calling her for future projects."

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."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

It is possible to remove wallpaper yourself, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a professional. Some types of wallpaper can prove to be a real challenge to remove, and the process is labor intensive regardless, so most homeowners prefer to save themselves time and frustration by hiring a pro. Professional wallpaper companies have special tools like steamers and the experience to use them effectively without damaging the drywall behind it, which can get damaged if it gets too wet. Hiring a pro gets the job done quickly and minimizes the wall prep you’ll need to do afterward.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

For the most part, peel-and-stick wallpaper doesn't damage walls. However, there may be some cases when damage does occur. For example, if you try to rip the paper off the wall, you may pull away some paint at the same time.

The walls can also be damaged if they aren't prepared properly before you add the wallpaper. For example, if the coat of paint is too fresh when you put the wallpaper on the walls, it can peel away as you remove the paper. 

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.

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.
