Brooklyn Office Painter

The average house in the U.S. contains approximately 2,200 square feet of living space, while a New York City apartment averages 550 square feet. Thus, 30,000 square feet may equal roughly 15 average 3-BR, 2-BA homes. It is also a whisker over 2/3s of an acre. Thus, one of our recent jobs – painting the office interior of a 30,000-square-foot advertising and marketing agency – was a very large project.

Staff is returning to the office soon, and management wanted everything to be clean and fresh, and new paint is always the way to go for an interior lift. Our team painted not only the walls, but also the doors and trim throughout this expansive office in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn. The accent wall in Charcoal Slate offers a touch of dignity, safety and functionality for which gray is revered. Clean, well-organized offices are paramount to work satisfaction and being able to focus on the clever, creative, corner of the brain in the competitive, strategic advertising and marketing arena - you know, crafting those slogans and jingles and blurbs that stick in your mind forever.

Meat shopping in style

That we eat with our eyes is a well-known cliché which highlights the value of presentation, whether it’s on the plate or in the case at the grocery store. We examine the marbling in ribeye steaks, meat stripes in bacon and fresh color and appearance of hamburger, chicken and pork chops. We may not look beyond this to the shelves and display cases which hold the meats, but surely we would notice peeling paint or rusty metal. And likely, we might then look somewhere else for carnivore vittles.

This meat market in Brooklyn is experienced not only in all things meat-related, but also in the value of sharp, clean, neat showcases for their products. We began the project by removing all the shelving and stripping off the old yellow-greenish failing paint. For superior bonding, most surfaces require a primer product which adheres to the material and prepares an excellent base on which to apply the final paint coat. Some of the work was done in a temporary pop-up paint tent we often use on a job site to contain dust and spray paint particles. Our white primer of choice did its job well, and we finished the shelf units with a glossy ebony black - the ideal, even elegant, background for meat display.

The Very Nice End Result

The Somewhat Rough Starting Point

Brooklyn Exterior Rooftop Stucco Application

Paint, primer and surfaces like stucco are not only about appearance, but also address care and maintenance of underlying materials. Here one conscientious property manager in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn called us to finish an incomplete stucco job on a rooftop above, below and between these likely HVAC louvered doors. It looks more like a working space than a relaxing terrace, so while it might only be seen by birds and service technicians, they wanted it finished and done right – for both aesthetics and a protective barrier against the elements.

 We hauled up scaffolding, ladders and all the gear and supplies to clean the surface and apply a bonding agent so new stucco would strongly adhere to the surface. Matching the stucco was the next order of business, and once applied, the entire space was painted in a medium, neutral gray. Our professional crew diligently focused on the tasks at hand and not on the somewhat delightful view and opportunity to work outside under Big Apple blue skies and sunshine.
