Insured Painters in Battery Park

Here we had a couple moving into a new place which had been erratically painted with some matte paint on the walls here and some semi-gloss paint over there. The look could be called sporadic splotchy or mis-matched mystery or peculiar paint pairing. Let’s just say that it didn’t work well in this otherwise sleek, modern, stylish, city abode.

We painted the entire 2-bedroom condo, and the living room is now a very smooth Stonington Gray from Benjamin Moore. This elegant neutral with subtle blue undertones in the right light creates a classy environment complemented with black furnishings and a natural wood credenza. The rug adds earth tones that connect everything into a cohesive space in which to relax, work, play and enjoy the latest episode of a favorite TV series. The new residents are now comfy and cozy and very content.

Wall Street Condo Painter

It’s no secret that fresh paint is the number one best-selling first step in preparing a property for sale. And it’s no secret either that Decorator’s White is a top fave color chosen with confidence. As part of the Designer Classics Collection, prospective buyers are wowed its timeless elegance. They can easily visualize their own furnishings, artwork, colors, rugs and accessories among clean, pure, serene, white walls.

Some of the wood in this sleek, contemporary bathroom [below] had water damage which we patched, primed and sanded, then topped with two finish coats. New owners will love the natural stone here which contrasts comfortably with chrome and white fixtures and glass doors. The open concept is accentuated with large windows flooding the space with natural daylight and city views. We are your partner in real estate sales for being the Painter in Manhattan which can get your property show-ready quickly and professionally. They may not have made a movie about us [yet], but our work moves homes for sale faster than it took Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes to figure out their love for one another in the film “Maid in Manhattan”. At least that’s what we think.

Big wow and round of applause for these walls!

Final paint coat drying

Flushing Plastering Contractors

It’s time for action when the living room walls are cracking, paint is peeling and the aesthetics of the space is simply no longer bearable. While the debris that piled up might not have measured in actual tons, it sure seemed like tons of peeling paint and plaster being removed from these pathetically-worn walls. Once free of splintered paint and plaster, we applied a professional, quick-drying, oil-based, bonding primer. This product assures adherence by the new plaster which then takes on new primer and the final paint coats.

Plastering walls may look easy, but it takes a steady hand and keen eye to apply a smooth coat with nary a ripple or bulge. One of our master plasterer/painters, Luis, is seen here deftly spreading the plaster compound to craft a new, flat, smooth, wall surface. It’s a nice room with a little arch detail in the doorway, and everyone is pleased as punch that it’s once again a comfortable, functional space.

Painting a Classic 6 Manhattan Apartment

Painting a Classic 6 Manhattan apartment imparts a sense of reverence for these captivating homes. Constructed in the 1915 to 1930 timeline in New York City’s growth, pre-war buildings are mostly mid-rise structures erected with high quality steel and fine masonry materials. Thus, they are a classic component of the city’s heritage. The number 6 refers to their six rooms, specifically, a living room, formal dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a maid’s small bedroom and bath, separate from the family’s full bathroom.

 One new homeowner wanted everything freshly painted before moving in, and we addressed the specifics, which sometimes involves copies of our business license, insurance, special approvals, etc. The dining room was smoothly coated with Bar Harbor Beige, one of Benjamin Moore’s Classic Color Collection paints. The maid’s room and other spaces took on the paint Mayonnaise OC-85. Both neutrals framed with white satin painted trim offer a sophisticated presence for showcasing furnishings, fabrics and art pieces. Now the interior of this co-op apartment definitely exudes the refined stature of the entire building.

Painting Company for New Brooklyn Homeowners 

Moving is exciting, filled with the anticipation of creating a new home nest. And the best time to mend wall, floor and ceiling damage and add your own color scheme is before the first piece of furniture crosses the threshold. One couple who recently purchased a home in a Flatbush Co-op in Brooklyn recognized that and acted on it – calling on us to make it happen. There’s paperwork, repair work and prep work involved, and we are experienced in helping new homeowners navigate the process.

 Their vision included smooth walls in lighter colors with a charming dusty rose upon entering, complemented with a pale neutral living room and rich hunter green in a study space. An odd gold part-wall, dull living room wall and old dark blue in the bedroom did not harmonize one iota with their dream of brighter walls to showcase their interior décor and the handsome wood floors. Covering dark colors can be a challenge, but we know precisely how to smooth and coat dingy, aged walls with premium primers and interior paint. By the time we were finished completely sprucing up this place, we kind of wanted to move in.
