"Fantastic. My house looks terrific. Gene walked the house with me and assured me that his team could address all my concerns, including cracked stuuco and dry rot. They did a great job and everything looks better than I could ever hope for. They even managed to match old paint colors from 40 years ago, that are no longer available. I would recommend and use Gene's Painting again in a heartbeat."

"We hired James for two separate jobs and would enthusiastically recommend him to others. Even on the closest inspection, his work was impeccable. He has been doing wallpapering for decades, and his experience shows."

Are you searching for a reliable painting contractor in San Jose, CA who understands your unique needs and delivers exceptional results? Look no further Urbina's Painting Company is a locally owned and operated business with a passion for transforming residential and commercial spaces into vibrant works of art. Since we began in 2018, we've been dedicated to providing top-notch painting services that exceed your expectations.

"We recently hired Urbinas to paint our front door and wouldn't recommend them. Ulysses came out to paint the door only to tell us that he wasn't able to paint a door that wasn't hung in the doorway and asked us to get our contractor to hang the door and install the hardware before painting. After having the door installed Ulysses and his father painted the door but forgot to paint the top and bottom of the door which voided our warranty with the door company. The door company came out and asked if we had hired someone who was licensed and bonded because the work didn't reflect someone who follows the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America standards. When we asked for a refund Ulysses blamed us saying we should have told him to paint the top and bottom and we are now left with a door that is now out of warranty and have to pay for another licensed and bonded painter to fix the mistake."

"Pattern, Precision, Perfection! My bathroom elevated! I am so happy I found Sarah with Marie’s Wallpaper. I had purchased peel and stick wallpaper from Serena and Lilly with the idea of doing the job myself. Then I decided it may be above my pay grade and I better hire a pro. If you’re wondering if you need a pro? Trust me, you do. And Sarah is the pro you need. She was very honest with me about her concerns (which I appreciate). Ultimately, I went with her suggestions and the project turned out beautifully. The intricate pattern is perfectly matched and the way she handled the textured wall made it look smooth. Plus, she’s really sweet and fun to work with. I would 100% recommend her and I will be calling her for future projects."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in San Francisco, 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.
