Manhattan Crown Molding Carpentry

Crown molding comes out of ancient civilization architecture, hides the seam where ceiling meets wall and adds a stunning touch of elegance to any room. It’s a precision kind of job, as each piece needs to be selected for straightness, measured twice and custom cut once. Accuracy is imperative for placement at the perpendicular seam and along the length necessary. Our carpentry skills are as sharp as our painting expertise.

The Paintworks team takes great care in protecting furnishings, floors and fixtures while working, and here we had to use a special blocking technique to prep the surface due to the concrete ceiling. When everything was skillfully added and all freshly painted, we were seriously impressed with how the new crown molding so perfectly complements the lovely antique furnishings in this Manhattan home.   

Freshly painted exterior for house in Yonkers

Yonkers Exterior Home Painter 

Despite our best efforts, we do judge a book by its cover, people by their attire and a house by its appearance. Like it or not, first impressions set the stage for everything that follows. Curb appeal can be a deal breaker for selling, and houses with an attractive look sell for higher prices in less time than those with a bit of sloppy in place. However, home maintenance is not always about selling the property. Homeowners should keep up the exterior for themselves to enjoy. Additionally, a house usually represents one’s largest asset, and savvy homeowners get the most from it while they live in it plus if they sell it.

So, we cruised on into Yonkers, the third largest city in the entire state of New York, to paint this house, which is much larger than the straight-on street view. Two windows had leaks, so we fixed those and scraped away loose old paint in other places. The dark gray offers a classy contrast to the white trim, and there’s a psychology to color which carries emotion. Dark gray offers diplomacy, balance and neutral traits, and the long-time homeowner here heartily embraced the change.
