The elegance of crown molding.

Custom Crown Molding Install in Bedstuy 

 Almost anything with “crown” in its name connotes sophistication, refinement, even royalty. And crown molding is no exception. When you want to dress up a room on a budget, crown molding is one fine way to accomplish it. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all embraced crown molding in architecture, and it was a symbol of wealth and status. Interior crown molding, whether plain or elaborate, hides the seam between ceiling and wall while adding an elegant component to the overall décor.

We were excited to add character to this Bedstuy brownstone with both crown molding and window trim molding. Prep is always our first order of business, covering floors and furnishings as necessary. Once measured, well, twice measured, we cut and install, then fill all nail holes and caulk any gaps. Here we painted the walls in Wickham white while the trim got a semi-gloss coat for a light sheen. The room is still the same dimensions, and the interior style has been subtly enhanced with the vintage chic touch of crown molding and window trim.

 

 

Boring without crown molding.

DUMBO Painting Company

Preparing a home for sale means doing a lot of things like deep cleaning, de-cluttering, de-personalizing and washing the windows, but top on the list for almost everyone – seller and buyer alike - is fresh paint. Clean walls and trim, white ceilings and smooth vertical surfaces where prospective buyers can envision their décor can even be the tipping point for an offer. The condos at One John Street on DUMBO’s waterfront in Brooklyn Bridge Park offer amenities that rival a 5-star resort. There are 42 exquisite residences in 2, 3, and 4-bedroom floor plans, and the building has the coveted LEED Gold Certification for energy and environmental design.

 We are the preferred painters for these sophisticated condo homes, which have just about the best views of Manhattan in all of Brooklyn. We love working here, and especially enjoyed preparing this residence as “show ready” to go on the market. There was some patching to be done, which we expertly addressed before painting. The Extra White paint choice from Sherwin-Williams conveys goodness, youthfulness and tranquility. The walls are eggshell for easy to keep clean without glare, and the trim was painted the same color in semi-gloss. We doubt this lovely place with its marvelous views will stay on the market very long.

Residential Painting Pros

There’s Murphy’s Law that anything that can go wrong will, and even the best laid plans of mice and men can get skewed. In some cases, home buying and relocation consumes tons of time and thinking of all the things that need to be done in the right order might be a tad overwhelming. With this architecturally-significant Prospect Heights brownstone, time was majorly scrunched for interior painting to welcome the new owners. The job required professional level experience with such exquisite trim detail in a multi-level home and fast turnaround.  

Experience like ours means we have perfected time efficiency, acute attention to detail, proficiency of application, quality workmanship and expert paint knowledge and skills. Protecting the floors and windows and anywhere paint is not to be is always the first part of our job strategy. Then there’s making sure the paint is high quality, blended thoroughly and applied with the appropriate tools in the most efficient manner. If these folks are not motivated to head to the park, they will be quite content in their ultra-attractive, professionally-painted brownstone home interior.
