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.

Here’s the ceiling at the outset of the project.

Upper West Side NYC Painting Contractor

The background color blue on the New York flag was adopted in 1901. The New York Knicks’ primary color is blue with contrasting orange, silver and white. It’s speculated that the Mets took blue and orange from the Dodgers and Giants, respectively, after those teams departed for California. There’s comfort in color, and we painted this lad’s bedroom a couple years ago to reflect his loyalty to the Knicks and the Mets. Then, like getting a song stuck in your head, for days, the family got a place stuck in their heads, for months – Westchester County was calling.

To prepare their Upper West Side Manhattan apartment for sale, we needed to patch and paint the bathroom because of a leak in the unit above. Our team scraped some flaking plaster and repainted the living spaces for a fresh, bright appearance to prospective buyers. The blue bedroom still looks great, a happy space for one sports fan, yet easily painted should the new owners not revel in the bright blue or, heaven forbid, bring in loyalties to other sports teams. Crown molding, panel millwork, white shutters, wood trim, fresh paint, stunning wood floors – we loved our project here for being in such grand quarters.

Yorkville Painters

 The Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan hugs the East River on the east and rests an easy couple blocks walking to Park Avenue. Gracie Mansion, the official home of the mayor, is in Yorkville, along with Carl Schurz Park and the 92nd Street Y. Papaya King, which opened in 1932, is still serving up grilled hot dogs and tropical drinks. High-rise condo buildings offer classy, contemporary cribs, and we recently painted one of these.

 A coat of paint does wonders for any interior space (or exterior), and savvy property managers and homeowners who rent out their properties know this well. Thus, we waltzed into one of these Upper East Side condos in between tenants to spruce up the walls. The paint choice was Pink Damask OC-72 from Benjamin Moore’s Off-White Color collection. These walls will wow any prospective tenant for their light, neutral, quietly sophisticated allure. It’s the perfect, serene background for any style of art, décor, fabrics and furnishings.
