Tribeca Painters Near Me

Historic brick buildings, green parks and cobblestone streets mingle comfortably among ultra-chic boutiques, luxury high-rise residences, swank bars and restaurants and a few glittering skyscrapers. TriBeCa, or Tribeca without the caps, is the Triangle Below Canal Street. Although the precise street borders are a little fuzzy, everyone agrees it begins on the north side at Canal Street.

What’s not fuzzy at all is why Paintworks is called to freshen or repair interiors in high-end homes. Our professional, experienced crews can expertly paint, put up molding or drywall, take away mirror walls, renovate kitchens and much more. We were on schedule to paint this beautiful residence when water damage from above occurred. The timeline was shuffled instantly to apply Benjamin Moore’s Cloud White on the walls. It reflects natural light, showcases art and provides an attractive contrast with wood floors and intriguing piles of books.

Plastering and Painting To Revive A Home In Manhattan

When this client called us her apartment was in bad shape. After not painting or repairing the plaster in her home for over 40 years everything started to fail. Paint was falling from everywhere. Adding to the situation was water damage from the apartment above. We spent multiple days scraping and carefully disposing off all the failing paint and plaster. We were surprised to discover wallpaper underneath the paint (seen in the 2nd picture below). The client didn’t know there was wallpaper there! We then spent multiple days priming and plastering the entire apartment to return it to it’s former glory. You can see the dramatic transformation, especially in the bathroom picture below. These pictures were taken at the 70% mark of the project. While we always recommend addressing paint issues as they arise, it is never too late to save your home.

Painting Historic Ornamental Railings in Upper West Side, Manhattan

The Upper West Side of Manhattan is home to beautiful designed buildings with ornate and historic details. When this client contacted us they were looking to revive their historic ornamental second floor railing. It was rusting and in need of rescuing. As experience exterior metal painters in NYC we first covered the ground below and behind the railing. We spent the first day grinding off rust and failing coatings. When grinding historic and beautiful railings it is important not to rush. Each curve of the railing needs to be considered. After grinding we applied the great product Rust Destroyer which eliminates rust while also providing a base coat on the metal. Last step we painted the railing with 2 finish coats of UV resistant industrial coatings. It was quite a joy to see the beautiful finished product. We are grateful to be one of the go-to painting companies when it comes to grinding and painting metal railings in Manhattan.
