"Mr. Martinez advised me when he would be at my home, he covered the area with plastic and cloth so no debris would fall on surrounding furniture. After he finished he cleaned the work area. Very pleasant and professional."

"Painting our house with a fireproof coating and topcoat required specific experience, applying the FireFree 88 undercoating to a measured 30 mils wet thickness. We were referred to Jorge Osorio, Four Season Painting, as having done this before. All references were very enthusiastic, and the results bear this out. Despite difficult weather and smoke from the California fires, Jorge and his crew came from quite a distance and were here on time early each day. They all worked diligently until late, and cleaned up completely when they were done for the day. They painted our house, a deck, a detached garage, a large trellis and two outbuildings, gving excellent attention to power washing, masking, choice of paint, applying the four coats, and careful final touchup. Nothing was rushed, and they did not take any shortcuts. When unexpected requirements came up, they cheerfully took them on. Jorge and his crew struck us as capable, experienced, hard-working, honest and cheerful. We would definitely use Four Seasons again, and highly recommend them for any painting of this nature. We are extremely pleased with the final results."

"Jerry has painted the exterior of our 3100 Sq Ft house and has painted the eves of a 1 story rental house in Sunnyvale. In both cases, his pricing was fair. He showed up to do the work when he said he would (he's often early). In both cases, he finished early. His work is very thorough, and he does a great job doing simple touches like exterior patching."

"He is my first go-to painter. They are very professional, quiet, clean, on time, they call ahead, and if they have any questions they call first before doing the work. They exceed your expectations and they are very fairly priced. They also do specialty finishes and can make tile look like wood or marble. They are fabulous all the way around!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

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.

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.
