Midtown NYC Local Painting Contractor

Touching up paint is one of those ideas that looks good on paper and never looks good on the walls or ceiling. Even if you know the color, brand and kind of paint, time, sunlight, dirt and interior temperatures and air quality have an effect on the finish which makes it impossible to match. The best practice is always to paint an entire ceiling or wall so it ages evenly.

Before we started - wrong paint and finish used on ceiling

The splotchy ceiling and dull walls were an eyesore to a Midtown Manhattan couple who wanted their new condo to be fresh and clean before they moved in. One of the most popular paints on the market is Benjamin Moore’s White Dove, and here the classic, soft shade proved perfect for the trim. The walls are Pale Oak, a greige color. Greige is a fairly new word that crosses gray and beige for a warm taupe. Their choice of this neutral palette is brilliant for showcasing artwork, fabric and upholstery, bold splashes of color or subtle hints of earth tones and pastels.

Kid Bedroom Painting

Going to camp is like a rite of passage for many children, grasping on to their first fragment of independence. After days of fun activities with new friends, it can be a bit of a bummer trudging back into your own bedroom. But for one Upper West Manhattan boy, the joy was compounded when he arrived back home to find his bedroom repainted and compounded again that it was done in the theme for his favorite team: The New York Mets. This major league baseball team based in Queens was formed in 1962 to replace the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants, taking for its colors blue from the Dodgers and orange from the Giants.

 We loved taking a dull beige wall and transforming it with rich medium denim blue, technically PantoneTM PMS 288C, in a Benjamin Moore product, then contrasting that with Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace cream shade on the trim and ceiling. Maybe this happy boy in his Mets-theme bedroom dreams of rising to the ranks of Tom "Terrific" Seaver, Darryl Strawberry or Dwight Gooden. We had such a good time laying superior coats of paint expertly on these walls, we're thinking of catching a Mets game ourselves.

Gramercy Park Home Painter

In effort to sell this property in a timely fashion Halstead Realty and the owners decided to freshen up the place with a paint job so the property would show better. The NYC apartment hadn’t been painted in over 20 years and it showed. One day of intense plastering and painting got the condo back to near mint condition. The client chose Benjamin Moore Decorator’s White which works perfectly with the condo’s large living room windows. We always use Benjamin Moore Aura Bath and Spa in the bathroom to help protect the walls and ceiling from heat and humidity. We’re always grateful and happy to paint in the beautiful Union Square area.
