Beautiful work, creative design, and wonderful customer service. Keith spent a year at my home putting wall covering in every room over 20 years ago. I was delighted to discover he is still in business and is able to repair water damage that occurred during the last big rainstorm. read more

This review is long overdue! Keith installed our wallpaper about 6 years ago. Keith was prompt, courteous and delivered what he promised on time. I am very happy with the result. Not only everything is done flawless on that day, it still is. Today is hard to find true professionals like him. If you need wallpaper installed, look no further!!! The photo I took does not show the transformative effect the wall paper has on our living room. I wanted it to show the level of difficulties of my project. 1. This wall is really high. 2. There are moldings/shutters/window sills Keith had to work around and line up the patterns 3. There are two windows, and shutters that need special attentions to the corners. So far, everything is still like new, no bubbles, no paper becoming loose! Thank you very much, Keith! read more

Keith is the best! I am a high-end interior designer at MAS Design and my clients can be fussy. They're paying a lot for a high quality service and that is what they get with A Cut Above. (Not to say that Keith's billing is high, that has not been my experience at all), but interior design in general is costly, so we need our vendors to deliver, on time, on budget, and with a smile, even if things do not go as planned. Keith is not only meticulous, reliable, ethical and professional, he is also simply a kind, warm, and artistic, funny person who is sure to give you a laugh or two in the process. As I said, my clients expect quality work, and that is what he provides. His attention to detail matches ours, and that's no small feat. On the backend of the business, Keith is responsive and fun to work with- he is a pro and knows his work. We don't need to babysit, we can trust that he will execute to perfection, and that he will take the utmost care with our clients and their homes. Any unexpected changes are handled thoughtfully, immediately, with enthusiasm and good humor. We really couldn't do our work without amazing vendors supporting us. When they also make us laugh, it's a bonus. Keith is the guy, and our go-to for wallpapering needs. I've referred him to my other design friends without hesitation. Now we just need to get out from under all of our mutual work (and Covid!) and get that margarita with Keith that we've been planning! Hire him, he won't disappoint. Cheers! read more

We hired Keith to install a wallpaper mural for our nursery. From the get go, he was professional and responsive in our inquiry and made the process easy. Just to note, he did our project before this shutdown in December. He was very upfront about sticking to strict Covid protocols (he asked us to open the windows for ventilation before he arrived and wore a mask throughout the entire 2 day process). He was also really courteous as I was distance teaching during all of this. Highly recommend! read more

We reached out to Keith to wallpaper our daughter's nursery. He was very quick to respond and get us an estimate. He also had an opening in his schedule and was able to start the work the same week. Our walls had texture so he had to smooth coat the walls, prime and then hang the wallpaper. Keith also made recommendations about paint and where to stop the wallpaper, our closet doors are a little funky, so his recommendation was greatly appreciated. His work is flawless, we cannot find the seams, we know they are there somewhere. He cleaned up after himself everyday, we could not tell he had been in the house. Finally, Keith is an absolute pleasure, funny, charming and honest. We have a very annoying barking dog, Keith even put him at ease. 3 months later, we still love his work and have reached out to him for another project. read more

My husband agreed with a wallpaper design I picked, so I jumped at the purchase from photowall. But I had to agree not to hang it myself. I attempt dyi projects, but don't always know what I'm doing. I relayed my dilemma to my bff who lives in Livermore who turned around and put a ping out to a FB group called Livermore Rants & Raves. Someone responded and she passed on A Cut Above's website to me. I filled out the contact email inquiry form on a Sunday afternoon and received a reply the same day. We exchanged texts, photos, details and a quick zoom call. As luck would have it, he was able to squeeze me in the very next day due to another planned project's supplies not arriving in time. Keith arrived promptly at 8 am. Accessed everything quickly, got right to it, had everything he needed at hand and was done by noon. It came out absolutely gorgeous. Hung absolutely perfectly. He's a real pro! I look forward to working with him again for our dining room. Now to decide and agree on a wallpaper design for the dining room. read more

My husband and I hired Keith to apply wallcovering at our new home in Livermore. As an interior designer, the key to a successful wallcovering install is in the quality of the prep work and we appreciate the meticulous work Keith takes to ensure that the walls are ready to receive the wallcovering - highly detail oriented in smoothing the walls, removes outlet covers and light fixtures. Keith works with great efficiency and focus. He is easy to communicate with and will do his best to ensure that you are highly satisfied with the end product. In addition, we feel fortunate to get to know Keith. He is very genuine, sweet and funny. He was very patient with our neurotic dogs. Also, he was so generous to share with us photos of his former life as a ballet dancer and a video of him dancing for an upcoming performance.

Keith was a pleasure to work with.

Keith did an amazing job on our wallpaper! All the other quotes we received said they thought we'd need more wallpaper to do the job. Keith was able to get the job done with less waste by doing such precise work. We had a couple windows with rounded sills that he was able to work with seamlessly. He even touched up the paint on the adjacent walls for us (that we had painted) to ensure our room was complete. Such beautiful work! We are so happy we went with Keith. He is very professional, very experienced and takes great pride in what he does. read more

I hired Keith to install wallpaper on a feature wall in our daughter's nursery. He recommended de-texturizing the wall first so the wallpaper would have a flat, smooth appearance and adhere better.

It was a 2-day job and he was on time both days, quick, efficient, stuck to his quoted timeline, and most importantly, did a great job. I love the wallpaper! Thank you so much, Keith! I will be calling you again soon! read more

My sister-in-law recommended Keith after he installed some wallpaper in her house. He did a fantastic job at her place and we decided to work with him for a small powder room in our house (5'x5'). It was our first time working with wallpaper and Keith did a great job of explaining the process/timeline so that when he showed up to install it went very smooth. His attention to detail is great and we couldn't be happier with the end result. Keith far exceeded our expectations. He has a great personality and is trustworthy which allowed us to leave the house at times during the work. He takes care to protect your floors and furniture around the room which again just shows you that he cares about your place as if it was his own. The wallpaper looks great, professionally installed to include the corners and seams (which I had to look very hard to even find). Overall, we couldn't be happier with the result. When we do our next wallpaper project, we'll be calling Keith back for sure. read more

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 read more
