Stunning Nike display with freshly painted backdrop

Fifth Avenue Retail Painters

 Nike was founded in 1964 and sold 1,300 pairs of Japanese running shoes that year for $8,000. Revenues in 2020 topped $37 billion worldwide. Bednark has been in the full-service fabrication business for 15 years, designing, building and installing state-of-the-art transformational consumer experiences in display creativity. Everything Bednark crafts is made in the U.S.A. out of their cutting edge, 65,000-square-foot facility right here in New York City at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

 Teaming up with these impressive companies was a wonderful opportunity to showcase our expertise and professional approach to everything paint and renovation-related. We connected with the Bednark folks on removing and putting back up the display components. What a class act they are. And so are we. Our crew examined every square inch of the black walls, patching and smoothing them for brightening from basic black to brilliant white. Painting from a dark color to a much lighter one entails more than one coat, which must be brushed, rolled and finished with the touch of a few professional tradesmen who know all about texture, consistency and expert application. We liked being part of an expert trio composed of Nike, Bednark and Paintworks. It’s not the first time we’ve rubbed elbows with such stellar companies, and it won’t be the last.

Painting the Girl Scouts Retail Store

For more than 100 years, the Girl Scouts have been inspiring girls to advance skills and reach for the stars. Their cookies are an American icon, and their NYC store carries sashes, uniforms, clothing, fun badges and all kinds of cool merchandise. So not to interrupt any business hours, our Paintworks crew worked overnight scraping and plastering damaged walls and refreshing white walls which had become scuffed and dirty. Sherwin-Williams has mixed custom colors specifically for the Girl Scouts, and we applied those as instructed. All the merchandise, shelving and displays had been protected by us, and it was business as usual the next morning in a wonderful, clean, freshly painted store.
