Interior Painting in Dublin, CA | Junior Elite Services

Dublin interior painting, prep before the first coat

Just 19.4% of Dublin's 25,157 housing units date from before 1980, and only 0.5% from before 1940. Most homes here fall after the 1978 cutoff that federal lead-paint rules use, but not all, and the early 1960s neighborhoods do not. When a Dublin permit is involved, the City's worksheet even has applicants initial an EPA lead-rule acknowledgment for pre-1978 homes.

Photograph each room and tell us the year the house was built. We move and cover furniture, fix holes, nail pops and cracks, seal the gaps along the trim, prime the patches, then roll two coats with the edges cut by hand. Rooms go one at a time if you're living there, with the floor cleared and swept each evening.

Value for money and flexible to work with. Would definitely hire them again, for all jobs around the house.

Junior and his crew were awesome to work with. Junior was always on time, respectful, thoughtful, and meticulous in his work. He is genuinely a kind soul and a great human - as were all his crew members. The work was very fairly priced. He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing. I would strongly recommend his group. For reference, he did a full interior remodel/refresh of our condo: floors, kitchen, walls, and bathrooms.

Painting in Dublin: questions

Do you work in Dublin?

Yes. Dublin is about 35 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 49 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from San Ramon Village to Schaefer Ranch.

Who issues permits in Dublin?

The City of Dublin Community Development Department, Building and Safety Division. Repairs and like-for-like replacements often don't need a permit; layout changes, new plumbing or new electrical usually do. When one is needed, the job is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.

When can noisy work happen in Dublin?

As a condition of every Dublin building permit, construction is prohibited between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. and on Sundays and holidays. We schedule noisy work inside those hours.

Do you repair the walls before painting?

Always. Holes, cracks, dents and loose tape get fixed and primed first. It's in the estimate, not a surprise at the end.
