Electricians are brilliant in their grasp of wiring, switches, schematics and technical drawings, circuit breakers, loads and meter diagnostic tools. They must know local and state building code requirements along with the National Electric Code which dictates safe electric design, installation and inspection to protect the public from electrical hazards, which can be deadly. Overloaded electrical outlets are a common cause of electrical fires. The Fire Department of the City of New York has a 2-page “Plug Into Safety” document to guide residents on electrical home safety. You can review this at https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/fdny/downloads/pdf/fire-safety-education/10_electricity_home_safety_english.pdf.

 With all these skills and knowledge packed into their heads, electricians are not expected to restore spaces where they work. And we love following in their footsteps. Here we filled and spackled more than 20 holes. Once sanded and smooth again, we primed and painted the hall wall in this 90-year-old Brooklyn building. The residents will be pleased come summer that new wiring was installed to support the air conditioning system, and they are grateful now for the freshly repaired and painted hallway. Even with modernization like air conditioning, these historic buildings continue to evoke a grace and style of yesteryear.

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).  

 
Brownstone Painters for New Tenants

Painting Brooklyn Brownstone For Rent

Renting property is challenging for landlords and owners. The price has to be right for the neighborhood and the specific home, and one needs to consider leases, background checks and references. For showing, every room should be clean and neat, even if there is furniture in there. Walls, floors and appliances especially stand out in unfurnished space, and this property manager for a Prospect Heights brownstone understood completely the value in having fresh paint everywhere.

 Clean, attractive, neutral paint showcases every space in a rental property. It allows prospective tenants to visualize their furnishings, wall art, color scheme and rugs in a new place. So our Paintworks team went right to work freshening this historical brownstone in the charming Prospect Hill area, known for Prospect Park, century-old architecture, public libraries and museums. We like to think the fresh paint throughout this brownstone will seal the deal for new tenants, who likely will also embrace the family-friendly environment and folksy vibes of the neighborhood.

Brooklyn Condo Painting

The Fort Greene neighborhood in Brooklyn is revered for it tree-lined streets of brownstones in excellent condition, preserving treasured architecture and heritage. Factor in the 30-acre Fort Greene Park, once the site of a bonafide fort used in the Revolutionary War, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and a charming assortment of eateries and shops, and you have one very appealing, family-friendly, diversified segment of the Big Apple. It’s here that we were asked to totally brighten and lighten one condo’s artistic, main living space.

 White Paint Showcases Art

Decorator’s White, one of the Designer Classics Collection from Benjamin Moore, was selected for its enduring qualities of reverence, humility and peace. White reflects light to make spaces appear and feel larger. It also stands silently in any room to showcase art, furnishings and decorative accents. This condo exudes a warmly modern aura with  an incredibly streamlined harmony for its white, crisp, clean walls and tasteful furnishings.
