Wonderful smooth ceiling - no more outdated popcorn look

Freshly painted room with a view

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.

NYC Loft Painter

The whole fresh start concept covers a lot of ground, and a bright, newly-painted interior can be a great launching pad into a new home in a new place. A couple with their beloved cat were about to make the leap into this Long Island City loft, but first the old dingy appearance had to be updated.

With lots of windows and natural daylight, selecting Benjamin Moore’s Simply White made the most sense for maximum reflection. White also sets the perfect background for bringing in art, fabric and colors that take center stage visually. Long Island City itself presents an energetic stage where trendy eateries and modern arts commingle comfortably with historic industrial vibes, corner parks, waterfront city views, outdoor concerts and intriguing shops.

Manhattan New Construction Painter

There’s always a thrill in beginning something new – a job, a project, a school year. And with that enthusiasm comes the motivation to start off on the right foot, to do things well from the outset. Yet, as the humdrum of activity drones on, it’s easy to let things slide, and finishing well may take a back seat to simply finishing. This family bought a newly constructed home to discover that only primer had been put on the interior, no finish paint coats at all. Surprise!

Well, not much surprises us. We consulted with the homeowners on adding some color and our top quality painting experience to polish off their new interior. A refreshing soft mint green flanks massive windows in the master bedroom with an accent wall in Beau Green, a bold teal exuding refined sophistication. Deep charcoal in the bathroom simply offers a bit of drama to the small space. In essence, we finished this home, doing what we do best, starting strong on every project and always finishing well with the same dedication to excellence every step of the way.

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.

DUMBO Painting Company

Preparing a home for sale means doing a lot of things like deep cleaning, de-cluttering, de-personalizing and washing the windows, but top on the list for almost everyone – seller and buyer alike - is fresh paint. Clean walls and trim, white ceilings and smooth vertical surfaces where prospective buyers can envision their décor can even be the tipping point for an offer. The condos at One John Street on DUMBO’s waterfront in Brooklyn Bridge Park offer amenities that rival a 5-star resort. There are 42 exquisite residences in 2, 3, and 4-bedroom floor plans, and the building has the coveted LEED Gold Certification for energy and environmental design.

 We are the preferred painters for these sophisticated condo homes, which have just about the best views of Manhattan in all of Brooklyn. We love working here, and especially enjoyed preparing this residence as “show ready” to go on the market. There was some patching to be done, which we expertly addressed before painting. The Extra White paint choice from Sherwin-Williams conveys goodness, youthfulness and tranquility. The walls are eggshell for easy to keep clean without glare, and the trim was painted the same color in semi-gloss. We doubt this lovely place with its marvelous views will stay on the market very long.
