Manhattan Baseboard Molding Carpentry 

Dyke’s Lumber Company started in 1909, the same year The New York Times published its first movie review (for Pippa Passes, a silent movie which ran 14 minutes and 10 seconds). Carrying on its 114-year tradition of quality materials, excellent service and integrity, Dykes is often our go-to choice for superior molding and trim products. Fine quality baseboards and expert craftsmanship are required for the final seamless appearance.

Baseboards serve more purposes and functions than many people realize and installing all new ones takes a precision approach to that visible, perpendicular contact point between wall and floor. It takes time, patience and a variety of tools to remove old baseboards. Then we evaluate damage, uneven wallboard or flooring, old paint or crusty caulking and devise a comprehensive plan to prep everything for new baseboards. There’s measuring, cutting, cornering, nailing and caulking, as well as priming and  painting the new baseboard molding. Handsome baseboards enhance the overall appearance in any room, and combined with perfectly skim-coated walls and new flooring, this living room in West Village evokes a distinctive comfy, classy ambiance.

After old baseboard removed, many tasks to clean up before new baseboard installed.

Professional Condo Painting Contractor

The GALERIE slogan is: “Home is Where the Art Is.” The galerielic.com website [for GALERIE Long Island City] promotes its new condo homes as “sleek and spacious, with open designs and intuitive flow. The interior design of the residences is timelessly modern, with clean lines and a neutral palette where the only remaining strokes of genius are to be applied by you.” That “you” refers to new residents, and one family took it seriously. Their stroke of genius began with calling us to paint their entire 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo. So, we did.

 It is a beautiful space with natural daylight, contemporary vibes and state-of-the-art materials. This master bedroom took on a coat of Benjamin Moore’s Balboa Mist, one of the sophisticated paints in the Off-White Color Collection. When the family is not hanging loose in its comfortable, freshly painted living spaces and bedrooms, they might be found relaxing in the sculpture garden, lounge or rooftop deck; working in the provided workspace; swimming in the pool; supervising kids in the playroom; or breaking a sweat and keeping in shape in the fitness center ~ all GALERIE on-site amenities. It’s an impressive place, moreso, we like to think, with our professional painting team plying their craft in these stellar condos.

Custom Spraying Mirror Trim in FiDi

AFTER - Painted with Decorator’s White

BEFORE

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.

Midtown Manhattan Luxury Condo Painting Contractor

Relocating from the Sunshine State to the Big Apple carries enough excitement and emotion without moving into a somewhat outdated luxury condo in midtown Manhattan. This brown entertainment cabinet wall with wonderful storage behind the doors was definitely on the list of archaic things to change. We removed the cupboard doors from the wall and took them off-site to our specially-designed, spray-painting facility. There, we removed all the hardware, and patched the holes never to be noticed again.

 We selected Benjamin Moore’s Insul-x Cabinet Coat for its ultra-smooth, factory-like finish. Additionally, the product adheres perfectly to surfaces without a primer. It comes in a satin or semi-gloss finish, and we love its durability, quality and overall attractive appearance. New sleek hardware is barely visible and lends a chic contemporary feel to the whole room. The family added some color for fresh vibes in other places transforming their new condo into their own cozy home.  

Clinton Hill Apartment Painter

Among the reasons to hire professional painters are: Skill level for high quality results and appropriate equipment, knowing which brush, roller, ladder, drop cloth, tape, spackle, scaffold, etc. As often happens, a homeowner decides to paint the interior only to quickly realize the volume of prep work, along with cutting in fine lines at ceiling and trim intersections, is overwhelming. Our Paintworks team stepped right in, sized up the job, set up our stuff and went to work the next day. The project included several accent walls, and we finished painting this living room, dining room, bathroom and kitchen in that one day. The  condo owner is now a very happy camper, ready for the holidays in a glorious, clean, professionally painted abode.
