Our goal is to provide unparalleled service and quality, to stop nothing short of complete customer satisfaction. From the moment you contact us- beginning with dependable scheduling and a detailed estimate, until the last bit of top-quality paint is applied by professional painting crews- we want your experience to be great! We are locally owned & operated. Our team looks forward to helping you with not just a great finished product but also a smooth painting process.

"The engagement started very positive with a very professional consultation and estimate process, but then quickly went downhill from there. Lack of surface prep left paint ridden with debris. I have never seen such poor execution of a fairly simple process. However, that was not even the worst part of the whole interaction with Five Star Painting. When expressing these concerns to Five Star Painting's project manager, I was met with extreme hostility and an absolute lack of understanding. Instead of having a discussion about my concerns it was immediately escalated to a "production manager" - almost as if this happens quite often . . . For a paint company, they sure do not understand paint, let alone customer care."

General contractor

"We had nothing but problems with Jose Moreno. Electrical outlets shorted, shower and new doors leaked, walls not plumb, covered HVAC intakes, told us certain things couldn’t be done (next guy did it easily and beautifully), reduced the size of the kitchen island without telling us...We hired a lawyer who told us to let the guy go and to not pay anymore. As soon as I have time, I will set up a website to detail all of the problems. I don’t want others to have the problems we had."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Austin, TX

You can determine your wall type through tactile and visual tests. Start by checking the surface by inserting a thumbtack, feeling the texture, tapping to listen for a hollow sound, and examining cut edges under outlet covers. Drywall feels soft with a hollow sound, while plaster is hard and solid. These checks are especially useful in older homes where plaster is more common.

After removing wallpaper, you can dispose of small amounts in your household trash. However, if you are removing wallpaper from your entire home, you’ll need to contact a waste removal service, rent a dumpster, or arrange a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste service. Wallpaper cannot be recycled, so it is important to keep it separate from the recycling stream to comply with local waste guidelines.

It takes a professional from several hours up to a full day to remove wallpaper from a single room. The removal duration depends on the type of adhesive, the age of the wallpaper, the condition of the wall, and the number of layers present. High ceilings and additional layers increase the time required, as extra care is taken to protect the wall surface while ensuring a complete removal.

Using fabric softener with water is an option for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited and depends on the type of wallpaper being used. This low-cost method is most effective on modern, less porous wallpaper and may not yield optimal results on vintage or textured varieties. It might also affect wall surface preparation for new coverings if the residue is not completely removed. For stubborn adhesive or textured surfaces, professional solutions are recommended to ensure a thorough removal without damaging the underlying wall.
