"A letter I wrote to their President I'm writing to thank you for the wonderful job that you and your team did in painting and renovating our apartment. Your team is professional, reasonably priced, and excellent communicators. Mickey was in touch with us almost every day and sometimes multiple times each day. When we expressed a concern, you always addressed it. The mark of an excellent contractor is not getting everything right 100%ofthe time. This never happens in any field. But a true professional acknowledges issues, suggests solutions and then executes. You are true professional. I would recommend Metropolitan Painting and Contracting without reservation. Do not hesitate to have your customers contact me if they wish further information."

"From the beginning, James was very professional and thorough in providing me with details about the job. He gave me a fair estimate and the time span for the work. He and his crew arrived on the appointed date, James again reviewed the work to be done and answered all questions. His crew worked diligently the whole day with an appropriate lunch break. I provided James with the color paint I wanted for the room. It was only after he purchased the paint that I realized that it would be too dark. James was patient with my dilemma of trying to decide on a color. He personally escorted me to the paint store to be sure I would get the color I wanted. I can't believe the transformation of my bedroom with this paint job. Allstar did a fantastic job. The clean up was excellent. I am more than pleased with their work. My husband, who was away during this time, was extremely happy with the quality of the work. We will definitely use their service again.

"I largely chose Fabricio/Sunyay based on the reviews on this site. My experience, however, was disappointing. Bottom line, I would not hire him again. Pros: - Responsive, always replied to messages/calls - Prompt, never late to meetings Cons: - Poor attention to detail: Upon inspecting the finished work, there were cracks that were not caulked, nails that were not removed from the wall, etc. - Sloppy work: Paint on windows, paint dripping off cabinets onto the floor. He did not protect the floor, nor does it appear that he used any tape for clean edges. - He left refuse all over the apartment, did not sweep up or clean off appliances that were showered in debris. Most disappointing of all, he was painting over walls that were a bluish/grey. We agreed on 2 coats of paint, and although he claims to have done 2 coats, the bluish/grey color was still visible. If Fabricio took pride in his work, he would have done a 3rd coat, which in a studio apartment, is not a lot of work, but he did not."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.
