Manhattan Penthouse Painting Contractor

When new homeowners select Tribeca for their neighborhood and a 3-level penthouse for their home, it only stands to reason they would connect with Paintworks, perhaps the most experienced and professional painting and wallpapering team in and around the Big Apple. Just imagine a 3-story, open staircase and the distances needed to reach with a paint brush or roller. It’s definitely an acrobatic kind of feat, but always with stability and precision in the planning. And planning and prep can consume a large part of a project like this.

You might roll your eyes at such an undertaking, but we get excited. We make things happen and paint everything from water towers and steel structures to kitchens and baths, stores, home interiors and exteriors and nurseries for wee babies. We protect railings and floors and haul in ladders, scaffolding, extension handles, primer, paint, gear and the strong arms and keen eyes needed for every roll and every brush stroke along the way. This family is settling in their new home with stairway walls a blank slate for their choice of wall décor and style.

Colorful Interior Painters

There is general consensus on color having all kinds of emotional impacts on our lives. Bold, bright colors deliver energy, vitality and even power into someone’s cognitive mind. Combine that morsel of info with an exciting, upscale neighborhood like Lenox Hill in the Upper East Side, and you have the perfect combo for an elegant, animated, luxury lifestyle.

This family selected Behr Emergency Zone for the orange. Talk about excitement! This unique blend of primary colors red and yellow delivers large for every season and offers balance, enthusiasm and a flamboyant flair, minus any emergency. The Gentle Sea shade of blue, also a Behr product, in another room carries a bit more calm, but seas connote motion and energy as well. The wall light sconces emit a remarkable splash of luminous ambience. Blue hues promote harmony and confidence, and that’s what we believe will be omnipresent in their new abode.

The stunning Fire Dance living room!

Midtown Manhattan Plaster Repair Contractor

It is well-known that water and oil don’t mix, and equally as recognized that water and drywall are not good companions. The former really messes up the latter, causing peeling, blistering, discoloration and potential material deterioration. This client’s living room plaster had been damaged by water from above. We have a real experienced been-there-done-that crew when it comes to water damage in or not in an historic building. This was inside a gracefully renovated historic structure, and we set to work scraping and evaluating the tasks at hand.

Once all the peeling paint was removed, we plastered it, let it dry, smoothed it, plastered again as needed, dried and smoothed and primed and painted. It’s a multi-step process not to be rushed. In the end, we loved the color itself as much as the name of the color: Fire Dance by Benjamin Moore, an extraordinarily bold color which enriches this space immensely. The client now returns home to a beautiful living room in which to relax, entertain and enjoy.

Union Square Interior Painters

Union Square was so named in 1832 for being the intersection of two major thoroughfares, Broadway and 4th Ave. The latter was then Bowery Road. The park was completed in 1839, and much of the space which was once farmland was modernized with sidewalks, curbs, buildings and the city’s first theater district, the Rialto. Since 1976, Greenmarket has been a hub of fresh produce sellers before farmer’s markets were as popular as now.

The International Tailoring Company building was constructed in 1925, and little did the designers know that nearly a century later, residents in these walls would treasure the ultra large windows. Natural daylight flows in abundance, offering bright lives and interesting views to one couple and their cat. We painted the home before they moved in with Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace in a matte finish, all the while trying to stay focused on our work and not succumb to gazing out across the cityscape. They love the new look, all the wonderful light and plenty of room for the kitty-cat to roam inside and be amused with sights outside.

The newly painted, elegant bathroom

The once-eyesore wallpapered bathroom

You never know what floats someone’s boat, and this wild, geometric, wallpaper scheme was no longer welcome in this hall or bathroom. Work in the building had been in a long pause for covid, and our client was past ready for a fresh start on all fronts. We were only too happy ourselves to rid the spaces of wallpaper that makes your eyes waver. Then there’s always cleaning off glue and paper residue and smoothing the walls for something chic and uptown with Farrow & Ball fine paint products.

 The hall is now Pavilion Gray, a classic middle shade reminiscent of an elegant 18th century Swedish neutral color. The bathroom walls and ceiling deliver a real wow factor for the deep, dark, midnight blue of Hague Blue. According to Farrow-ball.com, it is named for colored woodwork popular with the Dutch people. Both paint colors evoke strength and power with undertones of stability and balance, so they are excellent choices for the luxury lifestyle at 70 Washington Street in DUMBO.
