Park Avenue Painter
 

Stonington Gray on Trim

 Gray is often heralded for a classy, neutral interior statement, and what better place to come home to an elegant lifestyle than Park Avenue. Named for its lush park-like greenery, the center of the wide boulevard initially held a railway track for the New York & Harlem Railroad. Once that was gone, different sections were planted, and eventually the entire length of Fourth Avenue was renamed Park Avenue.

In the early 1980s, a group of concerned residents banded together to preserve iron fences and garden areas which had deteriorated. Dubbed Patrons of Park Avenue (POPA -  http://www.patronsofparkavenue.org ), the new organization worked alongside the city parks department (which owns the mall land strips) and a landscape architect to restore the trees and plantings. POPA is still very active supporting the maintenance and plants in these lush outdoor malls which enhance life on Park Avenue.

Meanwhile, this luxury home needed a new interior vision to do away with some very weird designs and mottled paint. In keeping with the calm intent for the room, the client selected Benjamin Moore’s Calm paint for the walls. This soothing shade of white sports a soft hint of lavender-gray. The trim color of Stonington Gray added just a little punch to frame the space at the top and bottom where generous molding meets the ceiling and the floor. This is now a gracious place for sweet dreams.

 
Union Square Office Painter
 

Manhattan Workplace Painting Contractor 

Multiple studies on work place environments all point to increased job productivity, satisfaction and performance in a clean, bright space. Additionally, attractive office surroundings can be a positive influence factor in reducing turnover. This new tech start-up company in Manhattan values its employees and strives to provide a pleasant, sleek, modern workplace with abundant natural daylight.

A huge part of any project, especially painting and maybe even moreso spray painting, is preparation. Activating the nozzle and being experienced in operating the equipment is imperative, but frequently protecting the surrounding spaces is equally essential.

And we work in many large spaces, like this one. The volume of plastic, brown masking paper and tape can be considerable. Once we covered floors, windows and anything which was not to be painted, we expertly applied jet black paint to the ceilings and ductwork. It matches their corporate branding and interior furnishings.

Then we painted the walls all white to provide maximum natural light reflection and the perfect contemporary contrast. We are professional painters, wallpaper hangers and interior construction contractors on the move, but if we were office operatives, we’d like to work here. Union Square is a very cool neighborhood, and Union Square Greenmarket is an awesome farmer’s market open year round. From milk, eggs and maple syrup to beef, pork, chicken, farm fresh produce and more, the market is a fantastic place to support small scale farming and the regional farmers who bring fresh food to market, for all of us.

 

 
Charlotte Russe Store Painter NYC
 

Brooklyn Retail Space Commercial Painter

The mail must go through. The show must go on. The store must open on time. We were up and out early, arriving at Kings Plaza in Brooklyn before 6 a.m. to set up, prep and paint the accent inset walls to match other walls. The results delivered a cleaner, more consistent interior environment for shoppers and staff.

The Charlotte Russe store chain was founded in 1975 by three brothers who grew up in the clothing business in Brooklyn. They headed west and opened their business in California, naming it for a favorite childhood dessert. Charlotte Russe cake is a delightful confection of ladyfingers, Bavarian cream and fresh fruit. And this Charlotte Russe store is a delightful shop for stylish clothes, trendy footwear and contemporary accessories. All painted and pretty and open at 11 a.m. same day.

Rose Hill Manhattan Painters
 

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.

 

 
Protecting Home and Office during Painting Projects
 

Premium Prep Pointers before Painting

One of the most significant measures taken by the Paintworks crew members is protecting the interior environment in which they work. At the first step into a luxury condo, brownstone, house, office space or apartment, the professional painters evaluate what is needed to protect the floor, carpets, rugs and all the furnishings. Lamps, TV sets and decorative items must be covered before one paint can lid is lifted, along with artwork, chandeliers, drapes and bookcases. We take pride in safeguarding counters and appliances, personal belongings and pet feeding and crate areas.

Of the many ways to ensure that everything which is not to receive a coat of paint does not get one tiny drop is to gather furnishings away from walls and secure large heavy-duty plastic sheets over and around things. We use appropriate floor coverings, drop cloths, tarps, rosin paper, good ol’ masking tape and other protective products. Securing phone jacks, electric outlets and technology apparatus is on our radar, too.

All the Paintworks training and project tasks emphasize tender loving care, as in old-fashioned TLC, to all interior pieces that should not have any new paint on them. Whether you have a Steinway grand piano, a $5,000 Pottery Barn leather sofa, original art by Pablo Picasso, a recent flea market chair you haggled to $18 cash or a crayon drawing of your dog made by your second grader, we protect it all with the same discerning attention.

Paintworks is your reliable go-to team for painting everything which needs painting and being confident that what does not need painting does not get any paint! Additionally, all our prerequisites for projects include protection from scraping and sanding debris. We treat your home and office precisely like we would want our own homes and offices managed and respected during a paint project. That’s how we roll (paint).
