"I could not be happier with Dominic Rosa, I could tell he knew his business when he explained what putting up my wallpaper would entail. It was very thick commercial wallpaper and more difficult to work with than other wallpapers. That did not concern Dominic and his workers. They did an absolutely amazing job. It looks so, so beautiful. I would highly recommend Dominic Rosa, and would use him again in a heartbeat. Clean, professional, and beautiful work. I am thrilled!!!"
"Frank's painting did a great job. The estimate was fair for the work required. We needed kitchen wallpaper removed and the walls skim coated and then painted.The estimated time for the work was 4 days. Carlos showed up around 8:00am each day and was usually done between 4:30 and 5:00 except for the last day when an associate joined him. The final day was a bit longer and was completed by about 6:30. The walls were skim coated and sanded so as to provide a nice smooth wall for painting The actual painting was done about as close to perfect as possible and we are very happy with the results. Cleanup was very good considering how much dust is generated in the sanding process. The final cost was right on the estimate both in time and final costs. Great job and we will definitely use Frank's again for any painting needs."
"Mike was always pleasant, prompt and professional. His painters, Niko and Willie arrived two days after the quote and completed the project within two days, half the time predicted by others.
My property was protected. Paintings were removed and replaced. Mike responded almost immediately to any phone call or text.
I am extremely pleased with this company."
"Awesome work. Not only did i recieve a call right away for my painting project, but he started the same day and completed it the next day just in time to have my TV mounted on my wall. I have another project coming up next week, i will definitely be using this service again. Excellent job done."

"Daniel and his team were such a pleasure to work with. They installed new hardwood flooring, stained existing hardwood, painted the whole house and wallpapered a bathroom. Everything was done beautifully and thoughtfully. Daniel was helpful, patient and very kind. We would recommend them for any work and are really grateful for the good experience!"
"Metropolitan Painting & Contracting painted my apartment, which included wallpaper removal, skim coating, baseboard replacement and painting. The quality of the work was excellent, the walls being very flat and lines straight. They started on the date planned and completed the project within the time estimate. Mr. G and his crew were very courteous, protected my floor and non-painted surfaces (wood, brick, bookcase), and worked with me to get the details right. Baseboard work and crown moulding work by carpenter Fernando was highest quality, being very straight and adjusting to floor height. I would hire Metropolitan again for my next project."

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.
If you prefer peel-and-stick to traditional wallpaper, you can skip the priming process. Many manufacturers don't require an additional primer if you’re installing peel-and-stick wallpaper to painted walls. However, if you’re applying peel-and-stick wallpaper to unfinished drywall, you’ll need to apply a primer first.
Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.
If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.
While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.
