Insured High Rise Condo Painters NYC

The etymology of words and phrases can be quite an eye-opener. Years ago “elevation of meaning” applied to a word or phrase which once meant something different and lesser than it does in contemporary language. The word “guy”, for example, originally referred to a person with a strange appearance or dressed in rags, then it denoted men, and now it’s collectively any people. Likewise, the “pent” part of penthouse once was used for a shed or sloping roof from a main wall, like a lean-to on the side of a building. Around 1921, penthouse became associated with a dwelling place on the roof of a skyscraper, connoting luxury and style.

We are the NYC painters of luxury and style ~ and everything else ~ and when these penthouse owners left town, we carefully covered the floors in brown paper and draped the furniture for protection. The place had not been painted in years, evidenced by the fingerprints and smudges when natural daylight and sunshine streamed inside. So our team patched all the holes and cracks and let them dry and sanded everything smooth. We painted the walls in PPG Husky Grey, a soft, cool neutral with class and dignity. The freshly painted penthouse walls now sport nary a smudge and provide this urban nest with the interior lift it needed. Welcome home, folks!
