BEFORE Removing wallpaper and painting

Wallpaper Removal and Plastering in Dobbs Ferry

Stepping into a jungle of a bathroom was a bit much for these homeowners, who called on us to move out the lions and tangled vegetation on the wallpaper for a smoother, calmer aura. Painting and lightening the dark oak wainscoting and shelves was part of the project as well.

We always begin jobs with protecting floors and surrounding fixtures and furnishings. Stripping wallpaper can be messy work, and there are several products on the market to assist with loosening the paper on the wall. Evaluating the kind of wallpaper, like vinyl or vinyl-coated, grass cloth, solid sheet or other, along with the age and time on the wall, provides the information we need to use the best product and tools for the job. Once all traces of the wallpaper are gone, there is often old glue that may require another product and some serious scraping to loosen and remove. Only then can the walls be washed, sanded and primed for the paint coats.

Wainscoting Painter

Painting over wood is another process in discovering what kind of oil, varnish or stain has been used and how to best deal with it to prepare the surface for paint. Sanding and priming takes place in stages before any paint is applied. Our team’s expertise kicks in early in the job, and the wow factor comes to light as the paint is smoothly applied on the trim and the walls, even in tight spaces like this. The new, radiant, neutral theme in this bathroom lends a much more tranquil spirit to the space, for which these homeowners are very grateful.

Upper West Side Manhattan Bathroom Painter

When repainting bathrooms there are multiple factors to consider. After the color choices have been narrowed down it is time to consider the lighting of the bathroom. Is there natural light? What kind of glow are the light bulbs giving off? Warm and yellow? Or cool and white? Once the color samples are held or swatched to the wall in all various types of light and at different times of the day the next factor to consider is the durability of the paint. We always recommend Benjamin Moore Aura Bath and Spa that is specially formulated to withstand the everyday heat and humidity of a bathroom. If the bathroom doesn't feature a shower/tub or a different type of paint is chosen just be sure that the room can be ventilated properly so that no bubbles in the paint form. We recently repainted a hallway half bathroom in a brand new building in the Upper West Side. The client chose a striking Farrow & Ball paint color that contrasts very well with the ceiling and the mirror wall. We have been painting apartment bathrooms in NYC for over 25 years but this is one of our favorites because of the modern distinguished look and feel of the space.
