15 Broad Street Interior Painting Company

Wall Street was named in 1711 for a long-gone wall built by Dutch settlers to keep out the pirates and the Brits. Though it is only six blocks long, the surrounding streets house some of the largest, most reputable financial entities in the world. Broad Street runs between Wall St. and Exchange Place. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was constituted in 1817. Fast forward 204 years, and the new owners of a beautiful condo across the street from NYSE wanted to brighten their interior walls. We love the vitality and pizzazz found in this part of Manhattan and eagerly loaded up our floor protection materials, paint, tape, brushes, scrapers, rollers, ladders and all we would need for the project.

You might read that “kids say the darndest things,” but hey, adults “do the darndest things.” In this delightful condo, someone had wallpapered the ceilings. We set about removing that, which is easier said than done, working kind of upside down, peeling, scraping, sanding and smoothing prior to priming and painting. The walls have been transformed from dark and dull to bright and beautiful with the popular White Dove paint selection. And the new owners are happy in their pleasant, newly painted home.

Painters for New Homeowners

Within walking distance of Grand Central Terminal, the midtown neighborhood of Murray Hill attracts commuters by day and diners and nightlife aficionados by dusk. The tree-lined streets and attractive architecture have evolved from homes for the affluent to nowadays residences which are more affordable than other Manhattan places. It projects a youthful energy and contemporary vibes. A first-time homeowner embraced the idea of living here, while having the vision to see beyond some dirty, old wallpaper and interior dinginess.

We helped coordinate the front-end paperwork required by the building’s board and management to make the interior changes. Then we rolled in to remove wallpaper and old glue, expertly clean the walls and completely refresh the space. Now, it’s tricky to know if it’s going to be more energizing to step outside here onto a lovely, protected patio space or to step back inside on these handsome parquet floors among smooth, clean, freshly painted walls. Whatever. Welcome home, new homeowner!

Power House Condo Painter

It takes a couple super creative minds to transform a power station into fabulous condo living spaces. World-renowned architect Karl Fisher and interior designer Andres Escobar did exactly that in the Hunters Point waterfront neighborhood of Long Island City. The Pennsylvania Railroad Power Station was constructed in 1909 and closed in 1920. It opened as a residential building for luxury lifestyles in the fall of 2007.

We get excited to work inside these historical edifices, like our painting becomes part of history when we freshen the spaces. Here we prepared this lovely unit for new tenants, and we are positive they will love the wood-grain look flooring for its natural vibe, and the smooth, freshly painted walls and white trim. The bedrooms were painted with Benjamin Moore’s First Snowfall, a warm neutral with faint blue-gray undertones. Factor in a white tray ceiling and copious windows for natural daylight, and there’s a unique brand of excitement for living large in a former power station.

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.
