Wallpaper Installers in Oakland

“We had Theo wallpaper a number of accent walls in our condo, and his work is amazing! Initially, he came over to our home to get a sense of the job ahead of him and to help assess whether we had enough wallpaper for the project. Then in completing the work, he returned on a couple of different days and worked diligently and efficiently to get all of our desired walls covered. In terms of his work product, Theo is incredibly meticulous and thorough. He matches up the wallpaper design seams seamlessly and even uses a laser(!) in order to make sure things line up perfectly, You can tell he really thinks through a project before and as he's completing it, and as a result his finished product for our condo is stunning. His expertise at wallpaper hanging was readily apparent in the way he described the work he was doing and the quick pace at which he finished our project. And his rate for the work was quite reasonable, too. Finally, Theo was a decidedly pleasant professional to deal with. He reached out to me promptly about doing the project, he was easy to get a hold of, and he's just an all-around kind character with whom you'll enjoy chatting. Overall, we are very satisfied with Theo's wallpaper handiwork for our condo.”

“The landscape design of our newly built Atherton home relies on a large number of architecturally-designed solid concrete walls of varying lengths and heights. The walls were designed to have a particular look and finish. Unfortunately, two of the taller walls suffered cold joints and other defects and looked very unsightly. We tried a number of fixes but they didn’t fix the problem. It is at this point that Coral Colours came to the rescue! After fixing the unsightly cold joints and the other defects, they applied several coats of plaster and matched the color and appearance of the other walls. The repaired walls look like new. I highly recommend Coral Colours. They are artisans and on top of that very nice people to work with.”

“Had part of a wall opened up to replace a pocket door - of course the lime wash I used on the wall many years ago was no longer available and I had already returned one lime wash product. I emailed Color Atelier Paint and Natalie not only got back to me but had me email her pictures of the existing wall that I had to replicate. She was very helpful and patient and answered all my questions. I ordered the color lime wash I needed and an additional color for another project. Color Atelier is on the west coast and I live on Cape Cod. Color Atelier has great customer service and my order arrived pretty quickly. And the wall came out beautiful! You can buy paint anywhere but it’s tough to get great customer service.”

“Dimension Painting recently painted several rooms in our house, including stripping 5 layers of wallpaper in one room. In 2014, Carlos first worked for us, with Dimension painting the entire exterior of our home in Lafayette. In both projects, a highly professional job from start to finish. Carlos impressed my from the moment he came out to review the scope of the project and put together his bid. He was very thorough, pointing out work that needed to be done that I was not aware of and that other painters who had come out, seemed to have missed. Carlos even had photos attached to the bid he emailed to me, showing the extra work he would be doing. So, it wasn't just talk during the bid stage, he actually committed to get these things done-- and he did them. And, during the exterior work, his crew discovered some dry rot that we had not been aware of. They replaced some siding in a seamless manner and at a reasonable cost. And, the corrective work his crew performed on a deteriorating arbor in our backyard was remarkable. The arbor is close to 30 years old, but now looks like new, We have lived in our home for 35+ years, so have had the exterior painted several times. None of the other painters took the same level of care, nor approached the job so thoroughly. For example, the crew took down all of your downspouts to paint them completely. In doing so, in several locations the siding behind the downspouts had never been painted previously. Our other painters had simply painted the downspouts in place. Now, the wood in those areas is fully protected. Both projects were extensive. The interior took 3 weeks and the exterior (with a 4 man crew) over two weeks to complete. More than half of this time was spent on prep work, rather than the painting itself. So, the final product looks much better than the prior work we'd had done, and I'm confident that it will last longer. And, no more problems with windows that haven't opened since the last time the house was painted. Both the 2014 and the 2016 project were completed on time and within budget. And, every day, at the end of their work, the work site was cleaned up and made neat. And, on both projects, the workers were polite-- and, as best we could tell, like Carlos, really nice guys. We have recommended Dimension Painting to several friends who have used them and all have been very pleased with their work.”

“Our project was exterior prep and paint of our 3 story, wood siding home. It was not in terrible condition (paint was not peeling), but there were several areas that were showing the start of dry rot. Professional, personal, superb quality work, meticulous detail, pleasant workers, skilled and knowledgable crew that can handle repairs and carpentry needs as they come up during the project . . . Can't express how pleased and impressed we are with them and their work. I categorized our project in the default category of being in the $10,000-$49,999 range however, specifically our end cost including the dry rot repairs totaled just a hair under $11,000.”

“I am a homeowner who recently needed 14 rooms to be restored and painted after terrible water damage. There was extensive damage with all flooring, baseboards ripped out, holes punched in walls to dry out walls, trim damage, cabinet boxes etc... I was fortunate enough to hire Aldo Painting. I would say he's one of the best, a true craftsman with an impeccable process, attention to detail and delivers a beautiful finished product. Highly recommend if you're lucky to get his team and he's worth the wait. Sample pic of doors staged in my great room for prep and paint. Will post more pics when the project is completed.”

“Love 'em! This was our second major project with Aurora. The first was an exterior job and it lasted so well that we didn't seriously consider using anyone else to do this project--the entire interior and exterior of our extensively remodeled 3-storey house in Oakland. When we started construction we contacted Dean to make sure to get on his schedule, and he saved us a time slot with the crew (he has 4) that he thought would be the best match for the job, which included a new roof terrace & porch and a new bath & dressing room. The job was complicated with some "unique" structural elements and construction schedule slips which meant that Dean's crew had to work in less-than-ideal conditions. Martin, Victor, and Jose handled the challenges with grace and good humor, and they were very hard-working and pleasant to have around. Dean was great about explaining what needed to be done and making suggestions about materials and methods to make the finishes last longer. He's completely involved with every aspect of the job and is great at communicating--by email, phone, or in person--throughout the entire job. I used to be a project manager myself, and I appreciate his being on top of things at all times. Best of all, throughout the entire job, Dean was really attentive to making sure that our needs were being met, both in value for the money and in the quality of the work. The job is done now and it looks great. I recommend Aurora highly. But plan ahead...their schedule gets filled up!”

“Julie at Creative Walls took what were boring and lifeless old beams, as well as an ugly lam beam, each in the living, dining and kitchen areas respectively, and brought them to life through her amazing talent. With very specific design elements in mind, I asked Julie to emulate the grain of my white oak floors, but in a subtly darker shade - and guess what? That's exactly what I got! Julie was prompt, detailed, organized, and very professional -- and she remained within the agreed upon yet very reasonable estimate. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone who's interested in transforming the mundane to the beautiful.”

“Honest, prompt, superior quality of finish work. I love working wit Fin Ceppi and I do so whenever I can. I run a construction company and my clients expect flawless work. Tim delivers. John Leimer Leimer construction”

“We met Adan through our contractor and hired him to faux finish a number of places in our house. First he did a marvelous gray stain on the walls of our Speakeasy AirBnB. The stain turned what was cheeky pine panels into a very sophisticated room. He then stained the bench shelves a dark color to match the front of the bar, and framing of the bar turning the room in a multi-hued affair. All of the stain was done professionally, it looks amazing and is jaw dropping for anyone that comes to stay. We had Adan work on the trim in our living room matching old mahogany stains on new pine framed windows. The end result is a perfect coat that ties the new windows to the old vintage ones. We can't wait to have him back and do the beams in our ceiling and other wood based porjects. Adan is a professional and artist at the top of his game. He's truly marvelous and I'd recommend him to anyone that needs faux finishing or specialty painting work done in their house.”
