Manhattan Commercial Painter 

Of all the perks and bennies a company may offer its staff, a neat, clean, freshly painted, bright work space practically tops the charts. Study after study reveals that employees enjoy enhanced concentration and productivity in comfortable work quarters. The company which contacted us was moving its offices to another address and wanted it to be really nice for the move-in. The timing was short. The need was now. The job was big - like eight conference rooms plus office space.

It was a tight squeeze on the clock, but we pulled together the team, and they pulled together the gear, supplies, equipment, paints, ladders, brushes, rollers, drop cloths and more. In reality, we fit right in as the Flatiron District is a commercial version of life in the fast lane. Anchored by Union Square and known for its food, art, drink and the original Shake Shack, Flatiron does not slow down much even on weekends. It emits an energetic vibe and a zest for work life and home life among its high rises, parks and diversified activities and performances.

High Rise Manhattan Home Painting

NOMAD or NoMad denotes “North of Madison Square Park,” while literally it means “a member of a people with no fixed residence who move from place to place, often seasonally.” So, here we have a couple purchasing this amazing high-rise condo in NoMad who are not nomads. If anything, they are nesters who wanted their new home freshly painted. While bald eagles, known for their high, large nests, are also not especially nomadic for returning to their nests each year, these aeries are found only 50 to 125 feet off the ground. This stunning property on the 37th floor is around 518 feet high, using 14 feet per story measurement.

It’s a challenge to stay focused with views like this, but we did it. We put down recycled brown paper to protect the floors and went to work patching and spackling so each coat of paint would be perfect. The living room sports Benjamin Moore’s Simply White, and the blue hue is named White Satin for its gentle undertones of a pale sky. “Evoking the shimmering beauty of a dragonfly's wings, this deep shade of blue-green is playful and full of energy,” so states the benjaminmoore.com website regarding this rich greenish-blue color. What a place to call home, a fixed residence that redefines a room with a view.

Yorkville Painters

 The Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan hugs the East River on the east and rests an easy couple blocks walking to Park Avenue. Gracie Mansion, the official home of the mayor, is in Yorkville, along with Carl Schurz Park and the 92nd Street Y. Papaya King, which opened in 1932, is still serving up grilled hot dogs and tropical drinks. High-rise condo buildings offer classy, contemporary cribs, and we recently painted one of these.

 A coat of paint does wonders for any interior space (or exterior), and savvy property managers and homeowners who rent out their properties know this well. Thus, we waltzed into one of these Upper East Side condos in between tenants to spruce up the walls. The paint choice was Pink Damask OC-72 from Benjamin Moore’s Off-White Color collection. These walls will wow any prospective tenant for their light, neutral, quietly sophisticated allure. It’s the perfect, serene background for any style of art, décor, fabrics and furnishings.

2-Tone Cabinet Painting in Manhattan

The kitchen, that proverbial heart of the home, has evolved in recent months in many a home to the proverbial heart of work space. Manhattan residences are not synonymous with McMansions or sprawling spaces where a home office can be quickly carved in an under-utilized room. Here, things are organized for maximum efficiency in every square foot; there simply are no under-utilized rooms. So, the new work-at-home model – whether temporary or permanent - must be adapted to what’s available. Here it was one outdated kitchen.

The client wanted to refresh her kitchen/home office combo, so after beautiful new counters and a modern horizontal-pattern backsplash were installed, we breezed in to paint the cabinets and install new hardware. The upper cupboards have been smoothly coated with the Sherwin-Williams satin paint named Pure White. The lower ones are Tricorn Black, also in satin, also a Sherwin-Williams product. The hardware is an understated elegant brushed nickel in simple square knobs and horizontal draw pulls. We suspect this lady can work better, smarter and more efficiently for having this stylish, sleek, new update at the end of her 14-foot [give or take] commute to work.

 Soho Home Painting

When some Soho residents are not shopping on Broadway or museum hopping between the NYC Fire Museum and the Museum of Ice Cream, they might be enjoying the birds-eye view of the Big Apple at Jimmy at the James Hotel. This elegant 18th floor rooftop bar is a very classy place to see and be seen. If they are not there, one family we know of might just be at their new Soho home enjoying their freshly painted condo.

 The rich contrast of Simply White and Smoke Gray that we expertly painted - protecting the floors, adjacent walls, trim and windows - adds elegance to this Manhattan residence. White always evokes goodness, reverence, peace and innocence. Light is reflected off white to brighten any space. An elegant medium gray provides an aura of grace and sophistication with a touch of mystery and power. Soho was coined in 1962 for the area “South of Houston [Street]” and today boasts premium boutiques, stunning art galleries, superb restaurants, cafes and wine bars and a happy family’s gorgeous, freshly-painted domicile.
