"He had originally taken a long time to get ahold of me, but eventually did and made-up for the lack of communication. As a courtesy they fixed the nails, spot-painted kitchen ceiling, and spot-painted the living room ceiling. They were pleasent to work with and very professional."

"George's painting, inc was responsive and professional from start to finish. The project entailed wallpaper removal from 2.5 bathrooms and kitchen, repainting those rooms; installing a tile backsplash and vinyl tile floor in the kitchen; replacing the kitchen countertop; repairing a cabinet; repairing drywall and painting the ceiling in the master bedroom. The owner came out to do the estimate himself. He was accommodating when I wanted to expand the scope of the initial project and came out a second time to give me an updated estimate. He was easy to reach via cell or email. The estimate was more than fair. His crew completed the job in three days. The crew was polite, professional, and did a good job cleaning up at the end of each work day. I highly recommend this company and would use them again."

"Actually. the project went very well. 































There were some minor hiccups but they were dealt with and resolved quickly.  The workers showed up on time, worked very efficiently and removed debris as they went along.  The parquet in the foyer and hall to the kitchen was original with the house, which was build int 1969 and we continued the parquet into the kitchen and powder room in 2005.  I understand from what my husband said that they had quite a time removing the the kitchen portion of the floor and they said that it took a bit longer than they'd expected; but I was impressed with the speed with which they worked, and I though that they were on schedule for what needed to be removed.  But, this is not my area of expertise so I'll have to defer to those that do it. 































The replacement material was wood-look porcelain tile that had a vintage oak look to it; I was trying to compliment the existing oak floors in the living and dining rooms.  The installation of the new tile went down and it look amazing, we were very pleased with how it looked until the grout was applied.  Sahara Tan was the color purchased but it dried more of a Butter Cream color which as far as I'm concerned, is too light; but the floors do look wonderful and changing the grout color will not be a major endeavor with the grout shield product that I found online that can be applied and wiped off -- dries in 10 to 20 minutes. 































Anthony Barrera, the owner, is very personable; he was the person who came to our home initially to price the work to be done.  Since this was an insurance claim, I told him that the areas to be replaced had already been measured, so he didn't measure it himself.  As with any job, when buying materials, extra is always purchased just to make sure that there's enough to complete the work to get done.  I told Anthony that the area measured 280 sq ft, and that is what he based his price quote for the work to be done.  I purchased 300 sq ft, in an attempt to make sure that we had enough, which came to 20 cases of 6" x 24" tiles.  The entire  job took all but 5 tiles in the last box so Anthony adjusted the price accordingly.  I did not have a problem with the price adjustment. . .we agreed to set price for the stated 280 sq ft and it turned out to be a bit more so the additional cost was justified.  No problem.































I waited for a week or so, to give the floor some time to settle a bit and for us to see just how it looked.  We are very pleased with the work, although I have contacted Anthony to let him know that there are 2 minor issues that need to be resolved.  I'm waiting for him to get back to me so that we can schedule for someone to come out to take care of a loose tile and one that is a bit uneven.  Other than that, we are good and happy to have gotten the work done so efficiently and timely.

"JL painting exceeded my expectations! My previous contractor suddenly disappeared leaving me looking for a company to remove wallpaper and paneling. The team that worked at my house arrived early, stayed late, and worked the entire time they were here. They cleaned up after themselves both eveningsand on the third day for the touch up and finishing odds and ends they left my house in the condition they found it. The price was excellent! I would highly recommend their service."

"Bill was very responsive, respectful of our property, and did a great job. The cost was very reasonable for the amount of work required (five full days of work). I would definitely hire Venice Bay Painting again."

"This company is very thorough in their work. I liked that when he was finished, we walked through the house together. There were a few places that I thought he was going to paint but didn't but then he went ahead and did the work. It was nothing major. The end result looked wonderful. His company is trustworthy and efficient."

"The price was fair for the job done which is important however the overall job was mediocre at best. My kitchen is challenging with an 18' cathedral ceiling. I anticipated the highest parts of where the wall meets the ceiling the paint lines might not be perfectly straight. Even managing my expectations... not a single paint line is straight, they are all wavy, at the baseboard, around the door, where the ceiling height is only 8' - not a straight paint line to be found in my kitchen. Jose was very nice, cleaned up when the job was done and seemed to work hard. For those reasons I would have liked to give a better rating but when I look at the details, the job is just barely adequate."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.
