Sunlit Coral (2170-60) on Nursery Walls and Ceiling
 

Upper West Side Apartment Painter

The Rochester Institute of Technology, 332 miles northwest of the Big Apple, offers a master of science degree in Color Science. According to its website, it’s “a unique master’s degree that decodes how humans perceive and interact with color, providing limitless real-world applications. At the only university in the nation offering this program of study, you will be exposed to the rich, dynamic field of color science through theory and practical application.” Now there’s a graduate program that seriously looks fascinating and fun.

We just love when clients go bold with color. This family had their new home painted before moving in, and we used nine colors throughout the spaces. Every newly painted wall in every room radiated energy and emotion as we brushed and rolled the new colors. Some of us might even have been humming a lively tune as we worked.

Imagine a wee one, fairly new to our world, waking up enveloped in this bold, cheerful shade of pink. Benjamin Moore has named it Sunlit Coral, for having a whisper of orange mingled into a courageous and striking fuchsia color. This was one very vibrant, energetic, happy project, for what we suspect is one very vibrant, energetic, happy family, with an abundant measure of bold and beautiful throughout their new home.

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.

Tribeca Penthouse Painting
 

Manhattan Penthouse Painting Contractor

When new homeowners select Tribeca for their neighborhood and a 3-level penthouse for their home, it only stands to reason they would connect with Paintworks, perhaps the most experienced and professional painting and wallpapering team in and around the Big Apple. Just imagine a 3-story, open staircase and the distances needed to reach with a paint brush or roller. It’s definitely an acrobatic kind of feat, but always with stability and precision in the planning. And planning and prep can consume a large part of a project like this.

You might roll your eyes at such an undertaking, but we get excited. We make things happen and paint everything from water towers and steel structures to kitchens and baths, stores, home interiors and exteriors and nurseries for wee babies. We protect railings and floors and haul in ladders, scaffolding, extension handles, primer, paint, gear and the strong arms and keen eyes needed for every roll and every brush stroke along the way. This family is settling in their new home with stairway walls a blank slate for their choice of wall décor and style.

Painters for New Homeowners

Within walking distance of Grand Central Terminal, the midtown neighborhood of Murray Hill attracts commuters by day and diners and nightlife aficionados by dusk. The tree-lined streets and attractive architecture have evolved from homes for the affluent to nowadays residences which are more affordable than other Manhattan places. It projects a youthful energy and contemporary vibes. A first-time homeowner embraced the idea of living here, while having the vision to see beyond some dirty, old wallpaper and interior dinginess.

We helped coordinate the front-end paperwork required by the building’s board and management to make the interior changes. Then we rolled in to remove wallpaper and old glue, expertly clean the walls and completely refresh the space. Now, it’s tricky to know if it’s going to be more energizing to step outside here onto a lovely, protected patio space or to step back inside on these handsome parquet floors among smooth, clean, freshly painted walls. Whatever. Welcome home, new homeowner!
