DUMBO Painting Company

Preparing a home for sale means doing a lot of things like deep cleaning, de-cluttering, de-personalizing and washing the windows, but top on the list for almost everyone – seller and buyer alike - is fresh paint. Clean walls and trim, white ceilings and smooth vertical surfaces where prospective buyers can envision their décor can even be the tipping point for an offer. The condos at One John Street on DUMBO’s waterfront in Brooklyn Bridge Park offer amenities that rival a 5-star resort. There are 42 exquisite residences in 2, 3, and 4-bedroom floor plans, and the building has the coveted LEED Gold Certification for energy and environmental design.

 We are the preferred painters for these sophisticated condo homes, which have just about the best views of Manhattan in all of Brooklyn. We love working here, and especially enjoyed preparing this residence as “show ready” to go on the market. There was some patching to be done, which we expertly addressed before painting. The Extra White paint choice from Sherwin-Williams conveys goodness, youthfulness and tranquility. The walls are eggshell for easy to keep clean without glare, and the trim was painted the same color in semi-gloss. We doubt this lovely place with its marvelous views will stay on the market very long.

NYC Home Interior Painting

The English scientist Michael Faraday [1791-1867] contributed to the study of electromagnetism and is credited with discovering the principles underlying electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis. That’s complex stuff. But, in simplicity, Faraday observed: “Water is to me, I confess, a phenomenon which continually awakens new feelings of wonder as often as I view it.”

Living on the water in the Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass neighborhood, aka DUMBO, must elicit “new feelings of wonder” every day for the residents of this home. The East River is framed by large windows, and not wishing to take away anything from this awesome view, we were instructed to paint the walls with a soft wheat neutral. It’s the perfect complement to the blue (or gray) skies and the river, which really isn’t a river at all. It is a salt water tidal estuary between Upper New York Bay and Long Island Sound. But we digress. Painting inside this home was an exceptional experience for the view, and we know the residents love what we did inside, even if not quite as much as loving their ever-flowing, peaceful water outside.

Brooklyn Painting and Floor Refinishing

Dumbo or DUMBO shares recognition with a movie, a baby elephant with oversized ears and the Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood situated Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. This living room is a stunning example of sophistication with a splash of retro decor after we sanded and applied Bona's High Traffic Clear Polyurethane to restore and preserve these awesome Brazilian cherry floors. The kitchen has gone from dull and drab to delightfully dazzling in its new coat of Benjamin Moore's Simply White in semi-gloss - a little sheen that's easy to clean. The residents can enjoy shuffling across the richly-grained, refinished wood floor in their sock feet, and everyone looks and cooks a little better in a bright, white kitchen. They are loving it all.
