Ceiling & Wall Restoration

Fixing scraped ceilings and smoothing out outdated textures.

Complete Surface Restoration A scraped ceiling or heavily damaged drywall needs more than a quick patch. It requires full surface restoration. Whether you need a perfectly flat Level 5 skim coat or a fresh, uniform texture, I make the room look brand new.

Projects I Specialize In:

  • Post-Popcorn Removal: Skim-coating rough, uneven ceilings left behind by abatement crews.

  • Wallpaper Removal: Complete removal of old paper and stubborn adhesive, followed by professional drywall patching and a smooth skim coat to fully restore the wall surface.

  • Major Water Damage: Cutting out the ruined drywall, replacing it, and blending it seamlessly.

  • Texture Updates: Covering up heavy, outdated textures for a clean, modern look.

Why Fresh Start Renovations? As a licensed owner-operator, I handle 100% of the work myself. When you hire me, you don’t get random crews or sub-contractors showing up at your door. You get dust control, a clean workspace, and consistent quality from start to finish. Serving San Jose, Silicon Valley, and the East Bay.

Very happy with the work that was done. I was in need of some drywall repair and Sergei made the process very easy. I was given a rough estimate via text and made a appointment for a few days later. I had water damage to the ceiling above my shower. After Sergei was done it look like another ever happen. I recommend him for all all water damage repair and drywall repair. 5 stars across the board.

Sam is incredible! He’s friendly, quick to respond and even takes time to teach me things when I ask. He works efficiently and his prices are incredibly reasonable. His quality of work is excellent. I’ve hired him for multiple different house projects, renovations and repairs and he consistently does a great job. I will continue to use his services and refer him to friends that need help with house projects.

Sergei is very skilled. He came on time and completed the job quickly and efficiently. The patch blends perfectly with the rest of the wall, you can't even tell there was a hole. Highly recommended!
