Premium Prep Pointers before Painting

One of the most significant measures taken by the Paintworks crew members is protecting the interior environment in which they work. At the first step into a luxury condo, brownstone, house, office space or apartment, the professional painters evaluate what is needed to protect the floor, carpets, rugs and all the furnishings. Lamps, TV sets and decorative items must be covered before one paint can lid is lifted, along with artwork, chandeliers, drapes and bookcases. We take pride in safeguarding counters and appliances, personal belongings and pet feeding and crate areas.

Of the many ways to ensure that everything which is not to receive a coat of paint does not get one tiny drop is to gather furnishings away from walls and secure large heavy-duty plastic sheets over and around things. We use appropriate floor coverings, drop cloths, tarps, rosin paper, good ol’ masking tape and other protective products. Securing phone jacks, electric outlets and technology apparatus is on our radar, too.

All the Paintworks training and project tasks emphasize tender loving care, as in old-fashioned TLC, to all interior pieces that should not have any new paint on them. Whether you have a Steinway grand piano, a $5,000 Pottery Barn leather sofa, original art by Pablo Picasso, a recent flea market chair you haggled to $18 cash or a crayon drawing of your dog made by your second grader, we protect it all with the same discerning attention.

Paintworks is your reliable go-to team for painting everything which needs painting and being confident that what does not need painting does not get any paint! Additionally, all our prerequisites for projects include protection from scraping and sanding debris. We treat your home and office precisely like we would want our own homes and offices managed and respected during a paint project. That’s how we roll (paint).

Licensed Paint Stripping NYC

We accessorize our outfits and decorate for curb appeal, and many 1920s-era buildings in New York City were constructed with charming interior details in the trim, radiators, doorways and fireplace mantles. It enhances our lives to have attractive accents around us, whether our own appearance or that of the front yard or inside our homes. One lady approached us not long ago to remove decades of paint build-up and restore her front door before taking up residence.

 The whole project was an interesting, fun challenge. It took a great deal of precision work and tons of patience to remove itsy-bitsy paint fragments from the detail edges. Much attention was required especially on the hinges. But to do it right and restore this door to its former glory, we just hunkered down with tiny tools, if not quite as small as the dentist uses. Almost. The original metal now gleams and adds a most enchanting component to her interior décor. Working with metal doors, trim, fences, fire escapes and more presents unique challenges for which we have the experience, expertise and knowledge of what sticks, what works, how to get the job done with excellent results. Every time.
