NYC painters

More than two centuries ago, Rose Hill was a farm on the banks of the East River with 260 apple trees and 9,000 young fruit trees. The owners had a thriving nursery across 92 acres when it was listed for sale in 1790. Today, the neighborhood boasts world-class dining, museums, architecture, entertainment and homes. REALTOR® extraordinaire Heather Cooper (https://heathersellsnyc.com/) called us to paint a residence before listing it for sale. She found the walls and ceilings a bit dingy and sporting some kids’ early attempts at artistic expression.

Fresh paint is the most easy, inexpensive way to brighten a home going on the market, and our professional tradesmen excel in precision painting. Reluctantly, they completely repaired and painted the walls with no more hint of a budding Van Gogh or Wyeth as a previous young resident. Wickham Gray is a reliable neutral, along with timeless Chantilly Lace white on ceilings, trim and doors. Both provide the perfect color complement with hardwood floors and perhaps a new canvas for another youngster with an artistic bent.

Wonderful smooth ceiling - no more outdated popcorn look

Yorkville Popcorn Ceiling Removal and Plastering 

Yorkville’s acclaim for a great New York City place to live has been enhanced in recent years with a new subway stop and ferry landing. Once woods and pastures, Yorkville now boasts an abundance of diverse housing options, along with Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the Mayor. This client acquired a place here which clearly needed some love.

Popcorn ceilings are so yesterday. And popcorn ceilings with cracks and water damage are simply unbearable. We scaped away and captured loose paint and plaster before skim coating the ceilings for a smooth and even texture. We added paint up there and then went around the whole place and painted all the walls. These folks can come home from East River Walk or Ruppert Park to a sweet, freshly painted home with sleek ceilings and warm, welcoming walls.

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.

Power House Condo Painter

It takes a couple super creative minds to transform a power station into fabulous condo living spaces. World-renowned architect Karl Fisher and interior designer Andres Escobar did exactly that in the Hunters Point waterfront neighborhood of Long Island City. The Pennsylvania Railroad Power Station was constructed in 1909 and closed in 1920. It opened as a residential building for luxury lifestyles in the fall of 2007.

We get excited to work inside these historical edifices, like our painting becomes part of history when we freshen the spaces. Here we prepared this lovely unit for new tenants, and we are positive they will love the wood-grain look flooring for its natural vibe, and the smooth, freshly painted walls and white trim. The bedrooms were painted with Benjamin Moore’s First Snowfall, a warm neutral with faint blue-gray undertones. Factor in a white tray ceiling and copious windows for natural daylight, and there’s a unique brand of excitement for living large in a former power station.
