Condo and Co-op Door Painting

Residents all over New York City take pride in their homes, keeping up with paint, repairs, lighting, floors, wallpaper and kitchen and bath upgrades. Just as important to tenants and homeowners alike is having clean, well-maintained interior building spaces, too, like hallways, stairwells, exterior doors and entry and exit points. Here, we went right to work painting all the stairwells and lobbies for a bright and clean trek from the building front door to each condo front door.

 There are theories on color psychology and a front door’s emotional value. Without delving deeply into those, let it be seen that these front doors we painted black with fine detail in gold evoke elegance and power. Black is known for style, depth and mystery. Accenting with gold adds royalty, optimism and hope. Who wouldn’t want that for an entry into one’s private home retreat?! And at the end, we carefully re-installed all the numbers, so everyone knows which gorgeous door belongs to them.

Interior Shop Painting in NYC

“Every bottle’s got a story here” at Pour Wines. On the corner of W. 75th Street and Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the business is approaching 15 years of its value-driven, intuitive wine mission. The knowledgeable staff curates small production, hand-crafted wines and spirits and understands making wine selection easy and enjoyable ~ and affordable. In its ongoing efforts to maintain a radiant, winsome atmosphere for the casual browser and buyer, they called us to brighten up their space. Overnight, by the way.

 With no disruption to customers or employees, our Paintworks team landed after store closing. We began right away protecting all the displays and especially all those bottles, every one of which pairs eloquently with some kind of delicious food offering. And just as many make a wonderful, stand-alone glass. But, this is about paint, not wine, and we confidently believe every paint can has a story, too. We love their color selection, and when the job was done before next day’s opening, we packed up, knowing full well it was too early for wine, so we all admired the fresh paint and inviting, attractive Pour Wines shop.  

NYC Retail Interior Painting

When retail merchandise gets all messed up, someone has to straighten it out. We at Paintworks were pleased to be part of the solution at this shoe store. It got vandalized, and the walls and shelves needed to be freshly plastered and painted prior to rearranging boxes, shoes and accessories in attractive displays again.

 We showed up with drop cloths, some tape, brown paper, ladders, rollers, plaster, brushes and trowels – tools of the trade to protect the floor and adjacent hardware, walls or track lighting. Once walls and shelves were plastered for a smooth finish, we deftly brushed and rolled fresh white paint. It reflects light more than any other color – or absence of color – and once again, the shoe store could open its doors. Customers then hoofed it on inside to browse and try on something new for a perfect fit for their hard-working feet.

UGG Retail Store Painters

Commercially speaking, the front of the house refers to the space where customers browse, dine, drink and buy things. The back of the house includes the kitchen, prep spaces, storage areas, delivery doors, employee breakroom and so on. Most customers do not get to see the back of the house, and when they do and find it clean and orderly, there’s a measure of reassurance that things run fairly smoothly and honestly throughout the business.

 This is certainly the case at the new UGG store in a New Jersey mall. It’s not even opened yet, but the management wanted the storage areas painted to be clean and even attractive once their inventory began to arrive. It is well-documented that employees are more productive and more content in bright, neat, well-organized environments. That applies to inventory storage, receiving procedures and all back of the house functions and spaces. UGG not only knows all this, but also they know what we all love in terms of warm and fluffy things, as well as high quality merchandise.
