Inwood Kitchen Remodel 

The Hudson and Harlem rivers border much of Inwood, enveloping the neighborhood like arms of a benevolent giant. Parks and river views are abundant at this northern tip of Manhattan, a comfortable 30-35 minute commute back into Midtown. It was in this enchanting setting that we remodeled a kitchen, elevating it from dark to light, old to new, dated to contemporary. Cabinet painting is but one of our many specialties. We replaced the counters and lowered the bar counter for a one-level countertop as well.

The walls and edge under the bar counter needed drywall and all new plaster to render it smooth and ready for soft sage green paint. The cupboards are now creamy white, and the homeowner asked us to remove one cabinet and install floating shelves. We did it. We work diligently and intently, looking from all angles, using leveling tools, anchors, metal framing corners, fresh plaster and the best primer and paints. The end results glowed for being newly rejuvenated.

Where it all began, kind of dark, dated and dingy, huh?

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.
