NYC Retail Interior Painting

When retail merchandise gets all messed up, someone has to straighten it out. We at Paintworks were pleased to be part of the solution at this shoe store. It got vandalized, and the walls and shelves needed to be freshly plastered and painted prior to rearranging boxes, shoes and accessories in attractive displays again.

 We showed up with drop cloths, some tape, brown paper, ladders, rollers, plaster, brushes and trowels – tools of the trade to protect the floor and adjacent hardware, walls or track lighting. Once walls and shelves were plastered for a smooth finish, we deftly brushed and rolled fresh white paint. It reflects light more than any other color – or absence of color – and once again, the shoe store could open its doors. Customers then hoofed it on inside to browse and try on something new for a perfect fit for their hard-working feet.

UGG Retail Store Painters

Commercially speaking, the front of the house refers to the space where customers browse, dine, drink and buy things. The back of the house includes the kitchen, prep spaces, storage areas, delivery doors, employee breakroom and so on. Most customers do not get to see the back of the house, and when they do and find it clean and orderly, there’s a measure of reassurance that things run fairly smoothly and honestly throughout the business.

 This is certainly the case at the new UGG store in a New Jersey mall. It’s not even opened yet, but the management wanted the storage areas painted to be clean and even attractive once their inventory began to arrive. It is well-documented that employees are more productive and more content in bright, neat, well-organized environments. That applies to inventory storage, receiving procedures and all back of the house functions and spaces. UGG not only knows all this, but also they know what we all love in terms of warm and fluffy things, as well as high quality merchandise.

West Village Commercial Remodeling Contractor

Less than 25% of Denmark’s 406 islands are inhabited, and residents strive for “hygge”, a uniquely Danish concept of life in which a mood of comfort, coziness and contentment reigns in daily life. The country is officially the Kingdom of Denmark, and Danish ingenuity is emerging in their RAINS [drip, drip, drip] stores. From Berlin, Paris, Shanghai and Antwerp to Vancouver, Amsterdam, Melbourne and New York City, people flock in for exceptional rainwear, backpacks and accessories.

 With just four weeks to prepare for its grand opening in Manhattan, the RAINS management team called us at Paintworks for help with remodeling. We got busy tearing down one wall, adjusting doors and installing J Bead to finish the rough ends of drywall corners. The Paintworks team did lots of plastering, smoothing, priming and painting, too, including a brick wall. Painting over brick requires special expertise which for us is all in a day’s work. Our experts crafted a piece of drywall to go neatly over an oddly placed window. The store opened as scheduled at 361 Bleecker Street, and with an average rainfall of 47 inches in the Big Apple, raingear is de rigueur (required).
