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."

"As a first time home owner, I was nervous about getting my house painted and didn't know how to find professionals to do a great job. We were SO lucky to find Jet and Julie!

They are extremely easy to work with, very friendly, communicate well, and are experts at what they do. They're not just skilled painters- they will help you with any other household tasks! They helped us clean vents, change the air filter, fix imperfections, and even found some mistakes with the build that were causing us issues. Jet and Julie are now our go to people whenever we have a question or problem with the house. They moved and replaced all our heavy furniture, electrical, etc., and were very diligent and careful with their work. They even befriended our two dogs who absolutely adore them! We cannot say enough good things. Thank you Jet and Julie for everything!"

Wallcovering or wallpaper removals FAQs
A handyperson near you can take on the task of wallpaper removal. As a bonus, they can also take care of any needed wall repairs afterward and other odd jobs around the house. If you have high ceilings, ask whether they own ladders or scaffolding to do the job or will need to rent equipment.
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.
In many cases, you can paint over wallpaper, although it’s a better idea to remove it altogether. Try steaming the paper first to see if it easily comes off. Painting over it may be a viable option if it’s stuck on and will only come off in pieces. Wash the walls first and prime them with an oil- or shellac-based primer for the best results.
Wallpaper installation costs between $800 and $4,000. The total price depends on the price per roll, room size, wallpaper material, and required repairs. More complex projects involving luxurious wallpaper brands like De Gournay, Calico, and Pierre Frey result in higher installation rates due to the extra work required.
After removing wallpaper, you can dispose of small amounts in your household trash. However, suppose you are removing wallpaper from your entire home. In that case, 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.
