Keith was amazing! We’d just moved to the area and used Yelp to find someone to paint and wallpaper the kids rooms in our new home. He was quick to respond! He’s so nice to work with. He gave us a quote and was willing to work over the weekend to meet our short turn around time.

His work is excellent!! Our kids LOVE their rooms!! We highly recommend him!!

I was originally referred to Keith by another contractor. Since then I have employed his skill on a number of projects. His first project was to remodel our bathrooms. He did an excellent job Since then I have used him to removed my old flooring and replace it with tile, replace interior doors; install wall paper, crown molding, baseboards, remove popcorn ceiling, and last to remodel our kitchen. All of his work was done professionally. His cost estimates were right on and his work was finished on or before schedule. During the projects he offered suggestions for cutting costs and made excellent recommendations regarding colors and fixtures I plan to use Keith’s services for future home improvement projects

Keith of A Cut Above is a real pro and gave us a high quality job that has held up over the years. In 2005 or 2006 he wall papered our home. We recently asked him to come out to do some needed repair work, because of rain related water damage. Keith stood behind his work, came out and very efficiently did the repair. The original wall coverings even after seven years look new and in tact. We would recommend Keith for a wall covering job. He truly is A Cut Above.

Keith and his team at A Cut Above Wallcovering did a beautiful job painting and wallpapering our entry way and dining room. We cannot believe the transformation. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable and was a pleasure to work with. Keith was able to work with us in scheduling the project and provided great advice for the best way to accomplish the look we were going for. My wife and I interviewed a few other candidates before we chose A Cut Above and no one even compared to the professionalism Keith displayed on our first meeting. He and his team always arrived on time, protected all our carpets, and cleaned up afterwards. If ever we have another project Keith will be getting a call.

We have used Keith (A Cut Above) twice. First we had him redo our kitchen wall coverings, and second, and later we had him redo the wall coverings in our master bedroom and bath. In both projects he was on the ball and completely up front. He knows what he’s doing and is extremely professional in his approach. He is on time and regular and he is personable. There is no doubt about his honesty and trustworthiness. We recommend him without a shred of reservation.

Keith is the BEST!

If you want it done right, call Keith. I’m a designer and have used Keith for a couple of projects. He has a great eye for detail and is very professional. He shows up when he says he will and explains the process well. I highly recommend A Cut Above Wallcovering.

Cannot say enough good things about Keith. He is totally meticulous, he has a great eye and good ideas, and was easy and fun to work with. I am super happy with the wall coverings he suggested and installed for my guest room.
— Kelly M - Oakland, CA
Keith was very professional and detailed in his work. He was on time and knew exactly what was expected. The walls were higher and he used very tall ladders to complete his work.

Thanks Keith.
— Vanita A. - San Ramon, CA
I don’t paint ceilings. I call Keith! He painted the ceilings of three rooms, having to deal with can lights, crown moulding, and a very high ceiling over a staircase. He applied two coats of paint that I supplied and was completely done in two days. He can move furniture really fast! He got underway within minutes of his arrival, moving furniture out of the appointed rooms and he got it all back in place when the painting was done. I love his skills, his attention to detail, his good use of time, and his cleanliness. He is a true professional and my number-one, go-to painter of challenging surfaces in my house. Thanks, Keith, for another job beautifully done. Til next time.....
— Jean M - Pleasanton, CA
I wanted molding throughout my home here in Pleasanton. I saw the great reviews for Keith and called right away. Not only did Keith call me right back. He scheduled, came to my home at my convenience which was late evening due to my schedule. He was polite, knowledgably and very helpful. I was placed on a waiting list due to his very busy schedule, but he checked in with me all the time to assure the did not forget about me. The work done in my home was unbelievably beautiful! They finished the job right on schedule and my husband and I could not be happier. I would definitely recommend Keith at A Cut Above .
— Lisa M - Pleasanton, CA
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Keith from A Cut Above Wallcovering! He is on time, professional and a complete perfectionist! My room living room and entry went from drab to fab in two days! I would highly recommended him to anyone!
— Tara S. - Livermore, CA
Keith was instrumental in helping me to select and order the right wallpaper for our powder room. I especially appreciate the time he took to coach me through the best patterns and colors for such a small space. His guidance helped me to eliminate some options that looked great in the sample books, but which would have driven me crazy on my actual walls!

Prep work and installation were completed on schedule, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. I look forward to working with Keith on at least 2 more wallpaper projects in my house!
— Cyrille K. - Danville, CA
They wallpapered our bride’s room in the historical mansion at Elliston Vineyards. This room is very important to us as our brides take their pre-ceremony photos in this room. We worked with Keith who was very responsive to our needs and worked with our tight remodeling schedule.

Thank you Keith. I’m sure you will be seeing your beautiful work posted here and on our Facebook page for years to come.
— Donna F. - Pleasanton, CA
Keith called back the same day I called. We set up an appointment and he came and gave me a reasonable quote. He came to do the papering on time and did a beautiful job. I am very pleased. He’s going to help me with my living room. I can’t wait!!
— Sam S. - Dublin, CA
We had crown molding done in our house. Keith is awesome. He gave us very clear quote and schedule for the work.
The work was completed on time and with good quality. Keith even did some extra work to help me out.
Highly recommended!
— Ashraf J. - Pleasanton, CA
Meeting Keith was a breath of fresh air. He came to us to redo our guest bathroom that was previously butchered by the guy before him. We had to eat the cost of the very expensive wallpaper we had used and start again. Because of this we wanted to be sure to use a professional and a professional is in deed what we found. He had to smooth our textured walls by mudding them, priming them and then the paper went up and we could not have been happier with the results. He also did our little girls room for us and the look on her face said it all. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to put up wallpaper or paint. It was a pleasure getting to know him and I look forward to hopefully working with him again in the future
— Reed S. - Livermore, CA
Keith handled our entry/hallway/living room project from initial design to completion, and the work was done on time and of very high quality. He gave us welcome design advice that improved our house’s aesthetics. He also gave us pragmatic advice. For example, he suggested going with washable paint because we have toddlers — we didn’t even know that existed, and none of our previous contractors ever mentioned it. He helped us fix small spots and scratches in a different room that was previously done by a different painter. The paint left over didn’t look like the rest of the wall whenever we tried to paint scratches, and our previous painter didn’t know why and told us to live with it. Keith looked at the situation and told us that the leftover paint we were using was actually a sample with a different sheen, and when we got the right sheen the problem was solved.
Overall Keith is a master of his art, a professional, and very pleasant to work with. We highly recommend him!
— Alexander V. - Burlingame, CA
Found Keith on Yelp and so glad that I did! We are a design firm located in Pasadena and needed an installer we could ship the product to and have him handle coordinating the install on his own. Keith is a pro! Handled the job beautifully and hassle free on our end!
We highly recommend him!
— Sherry H. - Pasadena, CA
Keith did an amazing job. He was very professional, clean with his work and good at what he does. Hanging grasscloth wallpaper is not easy and Keith made it look seamless. Highly recommend this company.
— S. S. - San Francisco, CA
Keith was incredibly professional and timely. He was able to fit in our last minute project before his vacation (which we truly appreciate!). The mural looked great, and he made the information easily digestible for such a large project. Highly recommend!!
— Lauren J. - Fremont, CA
Keith made us quickly feel VERY COMFORTABLE with his skills when quoting. He showed up 10 minutes early on the day of the work, worked quickly, and MADE ZERO MESS. He is clearly at the top of his profession and did beautiful work with a very finicky wallpaper pattern. I would recommend him to anyone.
— Duncun J. - Walnut Creek, CA
I contacted Keith via text to see about getting a quote to wallpaper a large wall in our dining room. He asked me to text him a photo of the wall, asked a few other questions such as the brand of wallpaper, and he had a quote for me within minutes. He also had an opening in his schedule the following week. He is a very nice and professional man, and he work was top notch. We are very happy with the end result!

**affordable**precision**customized**
a cut above wallcovering is the brainchild of
owner & artist kml...aka “keith” to his clients; a detail oriented individual who places great emphasis on customer satisfaction and service.

keith is brilliant with color, design, and craftsmanship. i love all his custom textured works with marmarino plaster and the tinted hot mud wall treatments; but he does so much more!! i had no idea how an average looking “space” can quickly be transformed into a “visually stunning room!” my words...not his...he’s really quite humble about his artistic / creative work.

keith’s work is extraordinary. don’t settle for plain when fabulous is waiting for you!! call keith and have the home of your dreams! you deserve it!
— Lynn J. - Bellaire, TX
Keith did the wallpaper for my daughters room and he was so fast and efficient and clean. He also painted, not only all the walls, but the ceiling as well! He is super easy to work with and very professional. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!
— Amanda L. - Irvine, CA
Keith, the owner, does absolutely stunning work. His access to high quality wall coverings is impressive. The quality of his work is even more impressive. He is hard working and very precise. I think he is the best of the best. Definitely give the company a try.
— Jenna P. - Houston, TX
What a great experience! A Cut Above really delivered. Always on time and excellent workmanship. They did lots of little extras too. Keith, the owner, takes great pride in offering excellence and he was really committed to the job turning out great. He took our ideas and pointed out some other things that made a huge difference. We are truly delighted at the outcome.
— Jan P. - Pleasanton, CA
As a fellow Contractor I have worked with Keith on various jobsites over the last 20+ years. He and his team have always been on time, a pleasure to deal with and most importantly done beautiful work. He is THE go to guy for any wall work you might have.
— Mark H. - Pleasanton, CA
Keith is an absolute perfectionist. It isn’t easy to find reliable contractors, but Keith is one you can count on for promptness, attention to detail, and professionalism. He did our office wallcovering several years ago, and it was absolutely perfect with no seam lines. He also finished on time and was pleasant to work with. We recently had a tear in the front area of our office, and we called him to repair it. He matched it so closely that we can’t even see the area of the patch. He also checked around other areas and cleaned up any residual buildup or adhesive. Keith is definitely an artist and the best in his craft of painting, wallcoverings, etc.
He doesn’t cut corners and spends much time in the wall prep to get a satin smooth finish. If you are happy sticking up cheap self-stick rolls of wallpaper on your bumpy walls in your house or business, that’s your business; but if you want wallcovering or painting that is something to admire and amaze, then call A Cut Above Wallcovering.
— Pacific S. - Pleasanton, CA
This is the second time I had Keith install wallpaper in my house. I can not say enough good things about him. He really knows what he is doing and he is doing it right. He is professional, meticulous, doesn’t cut any corners and he has an artistic eye, something that can come in handy sometimes. A pleasure to work with! I’ll call him back for sure when the inspiration strikes me again.
— Raluca N. - Fremont, CA

It was a pleasure to work with Keith. Keith and his wonderful team installed wallpaper, crown molding and repaired a wall for us. We couldn’t be happier with the results! He was very professional, prompt and paid much attention to detail. We would definitely recommend him without hesitation and we would definitely call on him for future projects.

When I want wallcoverings done RIGHT, I call A Cut Above Wallcovering. Keith installed wallcoverings, baseboards, and crown molding for my client and it looked wonderful. I’ve found him to be professional with my clients and extremely efficient with his time. He’s very detail oriented and a pleasure to work with.
— Stephanie H. - Dublin, CA
Keith was excellent. We asked Keith to paint and apply new Wallpaper to our nursery. Very professional, delivered on time and the end product looked great. We’ll use him again and i highly recommend him!
— Miguel W. - San Francisco, CA
Keith did an amazing job with our recent home improvement project! We had some engineered wood flooring installed recently, from another company, that included our staircase. When they had removed the carpeting from around the stairs, it put some holes in the walls that they claimed they could not fix. We called Keith at A Cut Above, and he explained how best to fix, which was to install skirting board up the sides of the staircase. It looks incredible! We couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out. He also did some “finishing work” in other areas of our home, that turned out better than we could have expected. We appreciated how he was always on time, very meticulous, and left the house as clean as it was when he started the work. We have other projects we would like to complete, including our kitchen, and we will use no one other than Keith! You will not be disappointed with hiring Keith at A Cut Above!
— Dianna C. - Livermore, CA

Keith did our wall paper, painting and removed our popcorn ceilings 10 years ago...faboulous job even after 10 years He has impeccable taste and quality of wallpapers are very nice. He works very neatly. I do not have any paint or glue drippings anywhere! He even covered our wall plate switches! I recommend Keith to our clients, family and friends!
— Lola G. - Pleasanton, CA
The job was to remove wallpaper and then paint the walls in two bathrooms and on a 2-story-tall interior wall. Keith was recommended by my paint store as a hard worker with lots of integrity. He lived up to that description. He did a masterful job. In one room he found some problems from the first wallpaper. He showed them to me and then corrected them properly. I plan to have him back for other home improvement projects as he is a joy to work with and does a beautiful, professional job.
— Jean M. - Pleasanton, CA
Keith did a superb job installing my wallpaper. He was prompt, professional and very courteous. What a professional!! His work is beautiful and I would recommend him to everyone I know.
— Stacey K. - Livermore, CA
At long last the popcorn is removed! We certainly appreciate the many steps it took keith to achieve the very professional look for our ceilings. He showed up on time to tackle our job with positive energy, followed up with phone calls, moved some furniture,and cleaned up. A true professional that was a pleasure to work with and we were very comfortable having him in our home. Highly recommend!
— Lettie C - Pleasanton, CA
Keith is definitely worthy of five stars plus!! We hired Keith to wallpaper a bathroom and remove wallpaper/finish walls in the kitchen. He did a top quality job. His prices were fair and he itemized the price into components so we could see exactly what we were paying for. He offered excellent design advice and completed the job on time. Keith is a perfectionist and does beautiful work. He is also a pleasure to work with. We give him our highest recommendation!
— Kathy S. - Orinda, CA
As an interior designer I really respect the professionalism Keith displays on the job. He is very fast and detail oriented and works well on jobsites and with the construction teams. Our clients are always happy with his work. Keith tells us how much to order of each wall covering, makes sure we understand what product we are considering and what to expect once it’s hung. He matches patterns extremely well and can handle delicate papers. He has installed wallpaper, commercial vinyl wall coverings, and murals for us. Every job he has done for us looks wonderful!
— Crystal S. - Pleasanton, CA
Keith is AMAZING!!!! Professional, courteous, timely and VERY skilled to say the least. He stripped my entire house when I purchased it of old wallpaper AND wood paneling, then textured the walls and ceilings to meet my specific request. The entire interior of my house now has a custom finish that I get compliments on all the time. A Cut Above Wallcovering is just that...A CUT ABOVE all others. I would highly recommend them.
