Tribeca Painters Near Me

Historic brick buildings, green parks and cobblestone streets mingle comfortably among ultra-chic boutiques, luxury high-rise residences, swank bars and restaurants and a few glittering skyscrapers. TriBeCa, or Tribeca without the caps, is the Triangle Below Canal Street. Although the precise street borders are a little fuzzy, everyone agrees it begins on the north side at Canal Street.

What’s not fuzzy at all is why Paintworks is called to freshen or repair interiors in high-end homes. Our professional, experienced crews can expertly paint, put up molding or drywall, take away mirror walls, renovate kitchens and much more. We were on schedule to paint this beautiful residence when water damage from above occurred. The timeline was shuffled instantly to apply Benjamin Moore’s Cloud White on the walls. It reflects natural light, showcases art and provides an attractive contrast with wood floors and intriguing piles of books.

Brooklyn Apartment Painting Contractor 

Brooklyn Heights exudes an energetic vibe among historic homes on tree-lined streets, brownstones and prewar buildings, as well as lofts in former industrial digs and new high-rise condos. It’s an amalgamation of all things Big Apple folks crave – shops, eateries, parks, entertainment and commuter convenience. Life has a lot of moving parts, and one family needed to sell their apartment. It’s a unique space which required brighter paint and fresh wall coats to impress prospective buyers.

Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace paint was selected for its universal appeal and being “as delicate and refined as the lace it was named after. This crisp, clean white evokes images of pure silk, soft linen and simpler times.” [credit: Benjamin Moore] It’s the perfect complement to the classy golden oak parquet flooring and natural daylight. With a view of Manhattan, this newly and expertly painted residence just may attract a writer like ones who have claimed this neighborhood to be their home: Walt Whitman, Truman Capote, Norman Mailer.

Manhattan New Construction Painter

There’s always a thrill in beginning something new – a job, a project, a school year. And with that enthusiasm comes the motivation to start off on the right foot, to do things well from the outset. Yet, as the humdrum of activity drones on, it’s easy to let things slide, and finishing well may take a back seat to simply finishing. This family bought a newly constructed home to discover that only primer had been put on the interior, no finish paint coats at all. Surprise!

Well, not much surprises us. We consulted with the homeowners on adding some color and our top quality painting experience to polish off their new interior. A refreshing soft mint green flanks massive windows in the master bedroom with an accent wall in Beau Green, a bold teal exuding refined sophistication. Deep charcoal in the bathroom simply offers a bit of drama to the small space. In essence, we finished this home, doing what we do best, starting strong on every project and always finishing well with the same dedication to excellence every step of the way.

Flushing Plastering Contractors

It’s time for action when the living room walls are cracking, paint is peeling and the aesthetics of the space is simply no longer bearable. While the debris that piled up might not have measured in actual tons, it sure seemed like tons of peeling paint and plaster being removed from these pathetically-worn walls. Once free of splintered paint and plaster, we applied a professional, quick-drying, oil-based, bonding primer. This product assures adherence by the new plaster which then takes on new primer and the final paint coats.

Plastering walls may look easy, but it takes a steady hand and keen eye to apply a smooth coat with nary a ripple or bulge. One of our master plasterer/painters, Luis, is seen here deftly spreading the plaster compound to craft a new, flat, smooth, wall surface. It’s a nice room with a little arch detail in the doorway, and everyone is pleased as punch that it’s once again a comfortable, functional space.

NYC Millwork Painter

 New owners of a luxury penthouse in Midtown East Manhattan recognized and appreciated the quality elements in wood paneling and wood floors, but envisioned a lighter, brighter home without wallpaper, medium wood tones on the walls and bookcases and dark wood floors. Thus, we stepped in to remove wallpaper, patch walls, sand, sand and sand some more before spray painting the fine millwork and refinishing the floors. We primed this gorgeous woodwork with many coats, sanding in between for the most smooth, lustrous finish.

 Farrow & Ball is a British manufacturer of fine paints which reflect historic color palettes, or in their version of English, “colour” palettes. Their New White paint is named for it being more warm than classic whites for its yellow base. It can take on creamy, chamois, ivory and sheep’s wool tones, reflecting light and creating an alluring interior environment. Spray painting such a luxury residence is not for the faint of heart or inexperienced paint contractor. The desired result comes only from extensive involvement in superior painting projects with the best equipment and most highly skilled tradesmen. Refinishing the floors to a lighter wood also revitalized the interior atmosphere. This is now a more striking 21st century penthouse where light plays off the walls, and an unrivaled warmth envelops the new residents.
