The stunning Fire Dance living room!

Midtown Manhattan Plaster Repair Contractor

It is well-known that water and oil don’t mix, and equally as recognized that water and drywall are not good companions. The former really messes up the latter, causing peeling, blistering, discoloration and potential material deterioration. This client’s living room plaster had been damaged by water from above. We have a real experienced been-there-done-that crew when it comes to water damage in or not in an historic building. This was inside a gracefully renovated historic structure, and we set to work scraping and evaluating the tasks at hand.

Once all the peeling paint was removed, we plastered it, let it dry, smoothed it, plastered again as needed, dried and smoothed and primed and painted. It’s a multi-step process not to be rushed. In the end, we loved the color itself as much as the name of the color: Fire Dance by Benjamin Moore, an extraordinarily bold color which enriches this space immensely. The client now returns home to a beautiful living room in which to relax, entertain and enjoy.

Prospect Heights Interior Painting

 New homeowners in Prospect Heights wanted to spruce up their living room and this charming, contemporary staircase. Things were kind of gray, and for them, kind of drab. So we happily converted the living room walls from dreary to dreamy with Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace paint. “As delicate and refined as the lace it was named after, this crisp, clean white evokes images of pure silk, soft linen and simpler times.” [Benjaminmoore.com]

Then we turned to this beautiful staircase. Floating staircases like this one maximize open space and offer the illusion of floating steps. It’s a stunning piece coming down to this high quality, hardwood floor. We painted the structural support, hand rail and railing parts, contrasting that with black stair steps on the open risers. We set up scaffolding and ladders often, and we belly crawl like alligators when necessary to make certain every square inch of wall, staircase and trim is painted perfectly. Our paint teams go to all heights and depths to cover all bases, as they say, on every project.
