Rose Hill Manhattan Painters
 

NYC painters

More than two centuries ago, Rose Hill was a farm on the banks of the East River with 260 apple trees and 9,000 young fruit trees. The owners had a thriving nursery across 92 acres when it was listed for sale in 1790. Today, the neighborhood boasts world-class dining, museums, architecture, entertainment and homes. REALTOR® extraordinaire Heather Cooper (https://heathersellsnyc.com/) called us to paint a residence before listing it for sale. She found the walls and ceilings a bit dingy and sporting some kids’ early attempts at artistic expression.

Fresh paint is the most easy, inexpensive way to brighten a home going on the market, and our professional tradesmen excel in precision painting. Reluctantly, they completely repaired and painted the walls with no more hint of a budding Van Gogh or Wyeth as a previous young resident. Wickham Gray is a reliable neutral, along with timeless Chantilly Lace white on ceilings, trim and doors. Both provide the perfect color complement with hardwood floors and perhaps a new canvas for another youngster with an artistic bent.

Upper West Side NYC Painting Contractor

The background color blue on the New York flag was adopted in 1901. The New York Knicks’ primary color is blue with contrasting orange, silver and white. It’s speculated that the Mets took blue and orange from the Dodgers and Giants, respectively, after those teams departed for California. There’s comfort in color, and we painted this lad’s bedroom a couple years ago to reflect his loyalty to the Knicks and the Mets. Then, like getting a song stuck in your head, for days, the family got a place stuck in their heads, for months – Westchester County was calling.

To prepare their Upper West Side Manhattan apartment for sale, we needed to patch and paint the bathroom because of a leak in the unit above. Our team scraped some flaking plaster and repainted the living spaces for a fresh, bright appearance to prospective buyers. The blue bedroom still looks great, a happy space for one sports fan, yet easily painted should the new owners not revel in the bright blue or, heaven forbid, bring in loyalties to other sports teams. Crown molding, panel millwork, white shutters, wood trim, fresh paint, stunning wood floors – we loved our project here for being in such grand quarters.

 
Painting Manhattan Condo to Sell
 

Experienced Interior NYC Home Painters

Selling any home practically requires new paint to achieve the fresh, clean, show quality presentation which will generate offers from day one. Walls consume more than half the space of most rooms, so their appearance is likely the first visual impression. With the natural daylight in these rooms, the owner knew light reflected off the walls would be noticed in the first few steps into the elegant bedroom and inviting living room. 

The skyline of Midtown East Manhattan is stunning, and 5th Avenue shopping is an impressive adventure in first-class merchandise. It’s busy with an unparalleled energy and vibrant enthusiasm everywhere. From Grand Central Terminal and Madison Avenue to nice neighborhoods and parks, you can find delightful eateries, cafes, bistros and casual pubs. It’s a fun, lively place to work, live and play, and this condo is now all set for its new owners.

Compass Concierge Painting Contractor NY

The power of a first impression can make or break a property sale on first look. With home buyers shopping online initially these days, home sellers are wise to set the stage for a wow factor from that proverbial first impression. And this almost always involves paint. Fresh coats of paint are simply the least expensive bang for your buck in presenting a lovely interior, and here in Chelsea, a stunning kitchen as well. The Chelsea section of Manhattan hugs the Hudson River and offers trendy night spots, chic shops and abundant art galleries.

Dark wood cabinets plunged this kitchen into a dull and dingy space which didn’t seem to fit into the neighborhood or the home. Our Paintworks team rolled in not only to paint the entire apartment, but also to resurface these cabinets for a smooth, sophisticated rendition of one very cool, contemporary kitchen. We moved cabinet doors to our uniquely-designed paint studio, controlled for temperature and dust and outfitted with brilliant lighting. Once completely smooth and dry, we carefully returned and installed them. The owner putting this up for sale understands that fresh paint can close a sale, often at asking price or perhaps higher. New owners are sure to enjoy the timeless white kitchen for decades, as white continues to top the annual kitchen color popularity survey by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (nkba.org).

Manhattan Painting and Floor Refinishing Vendor Compass Concierge

Almost everyone preparing to sell a property understands the value of fresh paint, refinished floors, de-cluttering and basic repairs for both a higher price and above average faster sale. The dilemma is often how to pay for it before you sell the property and have the money in hand. Enter Compass Concierge. The contemporary real estate firm’s innovative program foots the bill for painting, upgrades, staging and repairs before listing, providing the seller with both a selling time and final price advantage. The property owner reimburses the costs to Compass when the property sells, the contract ends or 12 months later. No interest, folks.  

The owner of this apartment in Manhattan wanted the wood floors refinished and everything painted to look terrific and maximize value. Compass Concierge connected with the Paintworks crew to refinish the stunning hardwood floors and paint every room. From sanding and dust flying to smooth polyurethane application and excellent painting, we managed everything professionally, one step at a time, and presented the owner with a show-stopping condo interior to sell – quickly and lucratively.
