Tribeca High Gloss Painting Contractor 

There are many ways to make a striking statement in your home, and exquisite high gloss paint in an entrance hallway is one of the most brilliant, literally. A recent client was intent on crafting a show stopper hallway. It was an amazing, time-consuming project which we embraced enthusiastically. It’s not every day we get to pour our energy and efforts into a space which involves this kind of project. One reason people shy away from gloss of any level is that it can magnify imperfections. Thus, on a job like this, there simply cannot be any flaws.

The walls were sanded and primed to perfection, then color-matched with Benjamin Moore’s Britannia Blue, a timeless rich, royalty-like pigment. Hollandlac, a product in the Fine Paints of Europe collection, offers a high performance, marine quality enamel for refined sheen and depth of color. Each of two coats were meticulously and expertly applied by hand with a brush. Surely, friends stepping into their home feel enveloped in a space reminiscent of fine halls and palaces in Europe. At least, that’s how we felt when the job was finished.

Brooklyn Office Painter

The average house in the U.S. contains approximately 2,200 square feet of living space, while a New York City apartment averages 550 square feet. Thus, 30,000 square feet may equal roughly 15 average 3-BR, 2-BA homes. It is also a whisker over 2/3s of an acre. Thus, one of our recent jobs – painting the office interior of a 30,000-square-foot advertising and marketing agency – was a very large project.

Staff is returning to the office soon, and management wanted everything to be clean and fresh, and new paint is always the way to go for an interior lift. Our team painted not only the walls, but also the doors and trim throughout this expansive office in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn. The accent wall in Charcoal Slate offers a touch of dignity, safety and functionality for which gray is revered. Clean, well-organized offices are paramount to work satisfaction and being able to focus on the clever, creative, corner of the brain in the competitive, strategic advertising and marketing arena - you know, crafting those slogans and jingles and blurbs that stick in your mind forever.

Besides being hot to the taste buds, chili peppers are visually delightful for their bold red color. In fact, Pantone, the world’s foremost authority on color, selected “chili pepper” for its Color of the Year in 2007. Long associated with exotic foods and cultural distinction, this dramatic dark red exudes energy, passion and strength. On one recent fun job where the client ordered up a super cool wall of horizontal stripes in the red, orange and yellow spectrum, we painted the 2nd floor air duct to match the chili pepper stripes.

Electrical and HVAC technicians most often have to go through walls to get their work done. And if had we a dime for every hole-in-the-wall we’ve plastered up, smoothed over, primed and painted, we’d be sipping margaritas under a palm tree somewhere. Projects like this get our own creative juices flowing, and when done, well, we all want to go home and paint something this exciting for ourselves.

Yoko Ono, wife of the late Beatle John Lennon, has stated: “Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.” It may not be clear what kind of changes one might experience, but starting each day with a big smile at oneself could be a good exercise. There are copious studies on our reflections and how we view ourselves on and below the surface. Perhaps these residents started smiling every morning after we painted the frames of these tall mirrors for their home.

 Wall Mirrors Reflect Light

Decorator’s White is one of Benjamin Moore’s most popular paints for its uncomplicated, sleek finish. Walls of mirrors are often installed in small condos to enlarge spaces, and here the framed vertical mirrors offer a unique sense of style and spaciousness. There is also a theory that mirrors can reduce energy costs for reflecting light during the day, thereby using less electric lights. These mirrors just might ensure the residents never leave with mismatched socks, a crooked skirt hem or a sport coat or necktie askew. The room is quite fashionable, and chances are high that they are, too, stepping out into FiDi – Financial District of Lower Manhattan.

Painting Over Dark Accent Wall

There are accent walls that add an element of interest to a room and accent walls which simply do not stand the test of time. Having grown weary of this unusual dark accent wall, the residents here asked us to paint over it to seamlessly match the rest of the space. We understood right away why they might want this deleted, so to speak, and our team set out to cover the dark brown and match the wall space to the soft light neutral already present.

 The right tools for the right job make all the difference in efficiency and results. Selecting high quality rollers and brushes with the most appropriate nap and size is step one. Primer is a must in going from dark to light, and again the quality and kind of primer impact the process and the outcome. Our team is experienced with all the tools of the trade and assemble everything that suits each job before beginning. Then with the expert touch of a craftsman and knowledgeable sequence of tasks, the crew deftly gets the job done. These folks are no longer blinded by an eyesore of a wall and can enjoy the monochromatic spaces with ease.
