Painting Manhattan Condo to Sell
 

Experienced Interior NYC Home Painters

Selling any home practically requires new paint to achieve the fresh, clean, show quality presentation which will generate offers from day one. Walls consume more than half the space of most rooms, so their appearance is likely the first visual impression. With the natural daylight in these rooms, the owner knew light reflected off the walls would be noticed in the first few steps into the elegant bedroom and inviting living room. 

The skyline of Midtown East Manhattan is stunning, and 5th Avenue shopping is an impressive adventure in first-class merchandise. It’s busy with an unparalleled energy and vibrant enthusiasm everywhere. From Grand Central Terminal and Madison Avenue to nice neighborhoods and parks, you can find delightful eateries, cafes, bistros and casual pubs. It’s a fun, lively place to work, live and play, and this condo is now all set for its new owners.

Bed-Stuy Brownstone Paint Stripping

The distinctive beauty of wood is unparalleled for Mother Nature’s earthy colors and intricate grain patterns. It is the quintessential glory of many New York City brownstone interiors. From doors and doorway trim to baseboards, ornate window moldings, cabinets and floors, wood was the material of choice for its stunning decorative and durable qualities. We found layers of decades-old paint and dirt concealing the inherent beauty of exquisite wood trim in this Brooklyn home and went right to work removing it.

Stripping paint by hand is a careful, tedious process. Our team applied a non-toxic product before gently wiping, scraping and brushing off the paint to reveal lustrous wood grain and finely sculpted trim. A small brush hook was gently used in tiny nooks and crannies. We removed trim pieces from over the windows to work on it in a more stable position and not damage any of the carving.

We finished everything with a clear coat of polyurethane for protection with touch of shine. We were as blown away by the results as the homeowners. Their home and hearts are now warmed with the timeless quality of natural wood trim hand-crafted more than 100 years ago.
