Nice, newly painted work space with clean ceiling

Queens Commercial Office Painter

Your normal field of vision is in the neighborhood of 170 degrees. More than half of that is peripheral vision. So while you may be focused on one thing ahead or slightly off to the right or left, your brain is processing lots of information from peripheral vision. If you are working in an office, this could mean you notice not only the walls, but overhead. And if the ceiling looks like what we recently encountered, you could spend more time wondering if a deteriorating acoustic tile or some unwanted leaking liquid might land in your hair than getting your work done.

We painted Gray Owl on the walls in this industrial office, then matched the window trim and baseboard for a cool contrast. The ceiling needed some serious help, so once assured the leaks were no longer active, we replaced acoustic tiles and sprayed the ceiling. Now, everyone here at Hugh O’Kane Electric Company is laser-focused on work, and their peripheral vision delivers only a clean, inviting, freshly painted office space.

Painting New Company Headquarters

There are many factors which keep employee morale high, and a clean, well-organized, aesthetically-pleasing interior environment is an important one. When Hugh O’Kane Electric Company chose a new site in Long Island City for its trucks and operations, the electrical and telecommunications firm called us to renovate some of the space. The company is an industry leader in electrical contracting services and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Across more than 70 years, Hugh O’Kane Electric has kept much of the Big Apple wired. And we at Paintworks keep lots of places in New York City freshly painted and aesthetically-pleasing.

Here we protected the floor and set about to remove wallpaper and the old glue that sticks, well, like glue. It takes a diligent approach with the correct products to get that stuff off. Then we cleaned the walls, as well as disinfected and killed some mold and bacteria. After we painted everything, the staff at this new location could settle into a comfortable, super clean space to equip and dispatch trucks, manage operations and keep much of our lives wired.

Bathroom Repair, Prime and Paint

Years of high humidity coupled with poor ventilation in a small, confined space where the door is often closed can wreak havoc on ceiling and wall paint. Tack on a leak from the floor above, and you’ll find significant damage in the form of peeling, stains, mildew and bubbly paint or wallpaper. Things not only look rough, but also can compromise the ceiling and wall structure. Time for action with Paintworks on the scene.

 Once the old stuff was removed and the ceiling and walls cleaned and permitted to dry, we plastered above our heads and on the walls, carrying on for two days of plaster, dry, tape, sand and plaster again. For a longer-lasting solution here, we then applied a deep stain-killing primer which protects the walls from inside as well as offers a smooth adherence of the paint coats. We know semi-gloss can highlight imperfections more than flat or matte paints, and that’s why we spent tedious hours smoothing our plaster job before priming and painting. The aha moment came as the top coat of semi-gloss paint dried. The Sunnyside neighborhood residents are delighted with the sleek new finish.
