Power House Condo Painter

It takes a couple super creative minds to transform a power station into fabulous condo living spaces. World-renowned architect Karl Fisher and interior designer Andres Escobar did exactly that in the Hunters Point waterfront neighborhood of Long Island City. The Pennsylvania Railroad Power Station was constructed in 1909 and closed in 1920. It opened as a residential building for luxury lifestyles in the fall of 2007.

We get excited to work inside these historical edifices, like our painting becomes part of history when we freshen the spaces. Here we prepared this lovely unit for new tenants, and we are positive they will love the wood-grain look flooring for its natural vibe, and the smooth, freshly painted walls and white trim. The bedrooms were painted with Benjamin Moore’s First Snowfall, a warm neutral with faint blue-gray undertones. Factor in a white tray ceiling and copious windows for natural daylight, and there’s a unique brand of excitement for living large in a former power station.

Long Island City Commercial Painting for Christie’s

When the legendary auction house Christie’s was looking for a painter last minute we were happy to help. They had an antique housewares auction the following day and wanted to put the pieces in front of a glossy black wall. The picture above shows how the pieces really pop in front of the wall. The walls were actually movable walls to make their photography shoots easier. The finish product looks classy and refined just like the Christie’s brand. It was exciting to be in their Long Island City warehouse full of valuable artifacts from around the world. Always grateful to be a go-to commercial painter in the Long Island City NYC area.

Painting Industrial Warehouses in Long Island City

The industrial scene was already burgeoning in Long Island City well before the announcement of the new Amazon headquarters. With quick access to Manhattan, Bronx, and Queens, Long Island City is an ideal place to have an industrial or commercial facility.

Paintworks and Decorating has painted many warehouses in L.I.C. We had an especially good time helping to refresh this warehouse used by a telecommunications company. The warehouse was looking grungey as the walls were dirty with years of work and very little cleaning. There was failing paint everywhere. Using multiple high powered spray machines and scissor lifts we were able to renew the warehouse with fresh paint very quickly.
