NYC Apartment Skim Coating 

There are lots of ways to incorporate a homey atmosphere into your residence. Rugs, window treatments and furniture come to mind. But the personalization of space, that unique décor element that speaks volumes about the homeowner, might just be how one treats the walls. The options are nearly limitless for paintings, prints, fabric, mirrors, metal art, maps, shelves, plates, sconces, whiteboard, the television and – drum roll – photos. One of our recent clients is a professional photographer, and she wanted to showcase some of her work at home, but not on crummy, rough, uneven, peeling walls with ceilings to match!

We scraped off lots of loose, old paint and plaster before smoothing the surfaces with multiple skim coats of plaster, sanding between each one. After applying an excellent bonding primer, our team painted a polish plaster coat. This final layer provides a smooth, uniform texture which is durable and naturally waterproof. While it can be tinted, this lady opted for the cleanliness of white so her photos capture full attention. We took a few photos of our own so you can see the difference, though not close to professional standards of photography, we know.

Ceilings needed serious attention, too.

NYC Scaffold Painting Contractor

There's a reverence that accompanies our work in buildings more than a century old. We recently had the privilege of working on ceiling repair from a slow water leak in a top floor apartment in one of these well-preserved structures. The ceilings were 24 feet high, and jobs like this require expert contractors protecting floors, art and furnishings while assembling safe scaffolding and using professional plastering, smoothing and painting skills. After masterfully repairing and painting the ceiling, we painted the entire living room. These residents can now enjoy a drip-free, freshly painted space at the top, penthouse-like.
