"Gene’s Painting did a wonderful job painting the exterior of our house. Gene was very helpful with choosing paint colors. The crew was neat, friendly, and efficient. We’re very happy with the results and would hire them again!"

"Project Lead: Ben The Job: Rooftop Deck above garage needed to be ripped out and replace, new drainage needed to be installed The Good: Ben was very enthusiastic about the job and is a very nice guy. He made sure to explain what the job would entail, what needed to be done, why the problems were happening, ect. He was understanding about the funds for the job being locked up until the sale of one of my other properties went through. The beginning of the job went great, the framing was done well, more ceiling beams had to be replaced than originally thought which they did for no extra charge and they had some higher quality top layer material left over from another job that they used at no additional cost to us. The Bad: Going back to the demo part of the job, we were told that there was no need to move the boxes and various other things we had in the garage out or to cover them. Nobody covered them and so now we have boxes full of plywood debris from ripping up the deck. After the initial large work was done, a team was no longer sent out to do the finishing work. It was one guy, who came out 2-3 times a week, and we rarely got any notice on what days those would be. Often we were told he would be showing up one day, but then no one would show up with no explanation. Repeatedly we were told “oh, the guy is going to come out and finish the job on x day”, but then no one would show up, and when he did the job was not finished. We were told the job would take 10 days (and that that was estimating on the long side). The job was started on March 29th and didn’t finish until May 19th. It happened several times that Ben asked if I was free for him to come and discuss things later in the day, but then he would be a no show. There was a general lack of quality control with the finished work. Instead of quality control being done by the contractor, I had to go and find all of the problems myself (of which there were many on the first pass) and complain about them. Then the one guy came out a week later to fix them, but then new things came up, and I would have to complain about them, ect. In the end I just kind of felt it was ‘good enough’ and was so exhausted with the back and forth and taking time out of my work day to inspect the work and discuss what was wrong I just said it was fine so I could go on with my life."

"Working with Art and his team at Jenuine Painting on the exterior painting of our home was absolutely great! They were very communicative, punctual and professional. Our house is an older house and the paint was in bad shape. There was a lot of prep work required and they did a phenomenal job paying attention to the details to ensure things were done correctly and also to ensure the overall finish of the job would look great! They were very realistic about the overall scope of work and they were able to knock the job out in 2.5 days. They've followed up since completing the job and made sure to emphasize if we notice anything the more the paint settles to not hesitate to give them a call. I'd definitely work with them again and have already given some referrals to our friends and family looking for similar work. I'd recommend them and their services to anyone!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Pinole, CA

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.
