NYC Home Interior Painting

The English scientist Michael Faraday [1791-1867] contributed to the study of electromagnetism and is credited with discovering the principles underlying electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis. That’s complex stuff. But, in simplicity, Faraday observed: “Water is to me, I confess, a phenomenon which continually awakens new feelings of wonder as often as I view it.”

Living on the water in the Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass neighborhood, aka DUMBO, must elicit “new feelings of wonder” every day for the residents of this home. The East River is framed by large windows, and not wishing to take away anything from this awesome view, we were instructed to paint the walls with a soft wheat neutral. It’s the perfect complement to the blue (or gray) skies and the river, which really isn’t a river at all. It is a salt water tidal estuary between Upper New York Bay and Long Island Sound. But we digress. Painting inside this home was an exceptional experience for the view, and we know the residents love what we did inside, even if not quite as much as loving their ever-flowing, peaceful water outside.

Tenant Turnover Painting

Brooklyn Duplex Rental Painter

The Brooklyn neighborhood of Prospect Heights revels in its unique strengths of community and culture, history and hipster. Second and third generation residents welcome newbies to the area, and relatively affordable housing in duplexes and brownstones with character attract families, young professionals and an interesting variety of folks who embrace the parks, concerts and fun eateries.

Flexible Painting Contractor for Property Managers

 When tenants change, many property owners and managers call us in to freshen the interior for showing living spaces to potential residents. This duplex is a charming one with exposed brick for a rustic touch, stainless steel appliances for 21st century kitchen accoutrements and fresh white paint for that timeless appeal. Whatever the condition of the walls – or ceilings or floors – we can make it new by cleaning, patching and spackling, sanding, priming and painting. Our crew’s experience offers vision in seeing what is present and what needs to be done. Like good pilots and good surgeons, our painters know the outcome before they begin.   

Brooklyn Interior Residential Painting

Electricians are not painters, and we at Paintworks don’t wire electrical things. They do the wiring. We do the painting. So when a sharp Bedford-Stuyvesant resident had new lights installed, the electrician left some holes crudely patched and not painted. Right away we noted the uneven walls with rough patches and went to work. Of course, we removed or added as necessary the appropriate plaster to totally camouflage the holes. Then we sanded the walls for a sleek, uniform vertical surface.

We are able to computer match colors, and that’s how we achieved painting with the identical color on the walls. For good measure, we painted the trim as well with a nice, even finish. With this tall bay window, gorgeous wood flooring and period molding, this Brooklyn townhouse is once again a very inviting space to call home. The whole Bed-Stuy neighborhood has more than 8,000 pre-1900 structures which beckon city folks with touches of nostalgia and historical architecture. This client is very happy with the home’s refreshed, interior flair.

Painting an Office Conference Room in Park Slope

A conference room can be a soothingly safe space for conversation, an energetic brainstorming territory or anything in between, so it needs to be neutral and refreshing. After moving and protecting the floor and furnishings in this one, we expertly applied Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace paint on the walls. It's a clean cool white as refined as the lace it is named for. It reflects light and produces a brightness in the room where lots of thinking, talking and analysis may occur. Contrasting with the wood ceiling and dark flooring, this comfortable white with blue undertones lends a warmth to the space that can keep the creative juices flowing and the mind's focus on issues at hand. At least, that's the plan for this great customer in the casual Park Slope area. We even worked on the weekend, so no one was disrupted during the business week.

Restaurant Interior Painting

From an assortment of pickles and sautéed greens to jerk chicken, whole fish and pepper shrimp, this new restaurant flaunts a Caribbean flair with regional specialties. The Paintworks & Decorating specialty is painting in superior fashion, and we painted the inside before hiking our ladders up above the entrance to paint the logo on the outside. Now it's easy to see, easy to find, easy to order and fun to go to. Glady's enjoys a great corner spot a block from the Eastern Parkway Pedestrian Mall, but if you're stuck at work or home, opt for delivery. Yum-yum.
