Kitchen Updates by Experts

There are many ways to add a stunning focal point to an outfit, the front of a house or an interior room. Being the proverbial heart of the home, the kitchen can be the most used, most visited, most popular room in any residence. In many such spaces, one looks around everywhere without really resting on one clever thing, then pivoting to take in the rest of the décor and function. Not so in this Chappaqua kitchen. The Town of New Castle along the Hudson River includes the enclave of Chappaqua, a Native Indian word for “a place where nothing is heard but the rustling of wind in the leaves.” The shorter version is “the rusting land.”

 Once on site, our crew removed and discarded the old backsplash, careful to protect everything around the space during the demo work. Once out of the way, we cleaned and installed new cement board before custom cutting these gorgeous tiles. Our expert tile guys installed each one perfectly to the high quality standards which every Paintworks team brings to every project. Talk about a stunning focal point in this kitchen – here it is!

Westchester County Backsplash Contractor

The little hamlet of Chappaqua covers less than half a square mile and is embedded in the town of New Castle on the east bank of the Hudson River. We don’t know if George Washington ever slept here, but Horace Greeley lived here and one creative, local couple recently called us to renovate their kitchen. With a baby delivery on the horizon, the schedule was tight and the work was intense. Our first tasks were demolishing and hauling out the countertops, installing a new backsplash and prepping for a complete cabinet resurfacing.

Handling cupboard doors, hardware and drawer fronts in this substantial kitchen, including its island, is a labor-intensive undertaking. Our crew protects floors and anything else adjacent and takes seriously all the steps to prep and resurface kitchen cabinetry for a smooth luster and clean finish. Taking this kitchen from outdated yesteryear to new world luxury will mightily impress this new baby. Well, baby might not notice right away, but we think the parents will meet their new challenges with aplomb, grace and confidence for having such a stunning kitchen in which to warm the baby’s bottles.

Queens Kitchen Renovation

Of the many ways to spruce up a home, kitchen remodeling is one of the premier projects for pure enjoyment, potential energy savings, enhanced lifestyle and increased property value. And diving into the whole enchilada can deliver a much-needed update for the residents, adjoining spaces and food and drink prep in a way nothing else can. We headed into this Queens kitchen with marching orders to gut everything including the kitchen sink. We cleared the space, tore up the flooring and began the prep work for this sharp black and white contemporary kitchen.

 Our team put down a classy charcoal color tile floor first, then we installed new white cabinetry with simple brushed nickel knobs. After the fabricator laid the sleek black countertops, we planned, spaced and positioned a stylish subway tile backsplash. The  Paintworks crew wheeled in and hooked up all the appliances, picked up our stuff and admired this newly renovated kitchen. The homeowners are thrilled with the outcome, and while the restaurants in Queens span the globe for tasty culinary selections, these folks might want to dine in using their neat new kitchen.

Finished!

Queens Tile Contractor

Queens is an eclectic blend of diverse neighborhoods, great sports, arts and culture and cool dining spots, craft brew and interesting shops. In its midst, a family new to the area needed a kitchen renovation, and we were excited to tackle this project. The first task at hand is always to protect adjacent spaces and floors. Then we removed the entire old kitchen and carted the stuff away. Two-tone cabinets are gaining in popularity, so we installed the lower wood ones and upper white ones, both sporting glamorous bronze hardware.

 Installing the new herringbone pattern backsplash was an exercise in intricate measurements, custom tile cutting all along the way and exact placement to achieve the overall sleek look. Tools included a laser level, but the steady hand of experience and keen eye for details can be credited with this result. Cutting tile is not for the faint-hearted or amateur. It is all about precision especially at the lower and upper edges where it has to look like the pattern simply continues on up and down behind the cupboards. The family is very pleased with their new kitchen to enjoy and new neighborhood to explore.
