Painting the finish coats - the color is custom matched to the business awning.

NYC Fire Escape Repairs

Fire escapes are for … [drum roll] … escaping fires. The New York City Department of Housing Preservation & Development works diligently with the New York City Fire Department, the largest municipal fire department in the U.S. and second largest in the world behind Tokyo, to routinely inspect fire escapes. Their attention to details on the condition of fire escapes all over the city contributes to their optimum function and performance in the case of a fire on an upper floor.

 The Paintworks staff is acutely aware of fire escape requirements and the Certification of Correction and was once again called in to bring one up to code. We did some spot welding and repair work like reattaching a rung to a ladder. Missing a step on a fire escape when one is moving down in a hurry with fear and adrenaline flowing may not end well. Then we ground and scraped off rust, primed everything and painted with special industrial quality finish coats to match the color of the first floor awning. The building’s management team was satisfied with a job well done, as well as the municipal powers who tirelessly oversee these things to protect all of us.

Industrial Warehouse Painter NY

Industrial warehouses often need to be as clean and orderly as offices and other kinds of work spaces, preserving the contents and improving employee morale. This commercial client rented space which had not been cleaned, painted or maintained for a decade or so. We replaced bulging walls with new sheetrock, taping, plastering and priming it before painting the whole 10,000-square-foot interior. It took us just a few days, ceiling included, and the satisfied customer is now ready to make use of their freshly repaired and painted warehouse.

Interior Spray Paint inside National Historic Landmark

George Washington established the first armory in 1777, and we are downright thrilled to have been contacted for sprucing up the interior of the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Ave. in Manhattan. After our normal covering and protecting floors, ourselves and anything not looking for new paint, the Paintworks team assembled the spraying equipment. This is a task requiring connections, air pressure, paint, tubes and nozzles which requires some serious technical expertise. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965, hosts special events and still houses the New York Army National Guard's 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry Regiment, aka the "Fighting Irish". In just two days, it was refreshed to its former industrial glory.

Painting Industrial Warehouses in Long Island City

The industrial scene was already burgeoning in Long Island City well before the announcement of the new Amazon headquarters. With quick access to Manhattan, Bronx, and Queens, Long Island City is an ideal place to have an industrial or commercial facility.

Paintworks and Decorating has painted many warehouses in L.I.C. We had an especially good time helping to refresh this warehouse used by a telecommunications company. The warehouse was looking grungey as the walls were dirty with years of work and very little cleaning. There was failing paint everywhere. Using multiple high powered spray machines and scissor lifts we were able to renew the warehouse with fresh paint very quickly.

Painting Industrial Facilities In Long Island City

Being based in Long Island City gives us a great opportunity to help other businesses in the bustling industrial area. This local company was moving to a new facility that desperately needed refreshing and a new identity. The client chose their brands colors to adorn the doors, trim, and walls. The exterior roll-up garage doors were covered in rust and failing coatings. We used a industrial strength wire brush to grind off the failings coatings then painted with UV resistant paint to help protect the doors longer. With our state of the art fancy-schmancy spray machine, the T-9, we were able to paint this facility in efficient fashion.
