Manhattan Property Management Full Building Painter

Everyone likes to be in a space with nicely painted walls, even if its main purpose is being a service stairwell – or two of them for this job -- in a 16-story building. This structure dates back 100 years, and while it probably has not been a century since it was painted, it certainly had been decades. Paint and plaster were chipping and required lots of brushing and scraping even before applying heavy coats of plaster.

A specialty bonding primer is called for to assure that the primer and paint adhere successfully – for more decades – to the newly smoothed plaster. Our team painted the full stairs, along with trim, spindles, handrails, steps and some of the floors between staircases. The black railings against eggshell neutral walls and cool gray floors adds an elegance not often found in stairwells. In fact, there are not many readers who would even think there’s an “elegant service stairwell” anywhere in Midtown, but we all now know of two.
