Freshly painted, wallpaper gone

Kind of crummy with old wallpaper

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.

Professional Condo Painting Contractor

The GALERIE slogan is: “Home is Where the Art Is.” The galerielic.com website [for GALERIE Long Island City] promotes its new condo homes as “sleek and spacious, with open designs and intuitive flow. The interior design of the residences is timelessly modern, with clean lines and a neutral palette where the only remaining strokes of genius are to be applied by you.” That “you” refers to new residents, and one family took it seriously. Their stroke of genius began with calling us to paint their entire 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo. So, we did.

 It is a beautiful space with natural daylight, contemporary vibes and state-of-the-art materials. This master bedroom took on a coat of Benjamin Moore’s Balboa Mist, one of the sophisticated paints in the Off-White Color Collection. When the family is not hanging loose in its comfortable, freshly painted living spaces and bedrooms, they might be found relaxing in the sculpture garden, lounge or rooftop deck; working in the provided workspace; swimming in the pool; supervising kids in the playroom; or breaking a sweat and keeping in shape in the fitness center ~ all GALERIE on-site amenities. It’s an impressive place, moreso, we like to think, with our professional painting team plying their craft in these stellar condos.

Long Island City Commercial Painting for Christie’s

When the legendary auction house Christie’s was looking for a painter last minute we were happy to help. They had an antique housewares auction the following day and wanted to put the pieces in front of a glossy black wall. The picture above shows how the pieces really pop in front of the wall. The walls were actually movable walls to make their photography shoots easier. The finish product looks classy and refined just like the Christie’s brand. It was exciting to be in their Long Island City warehouse full of valuable artifacts from around the world. Always grateful to be a go-to commercial painter in the Long Island City NYC area.

Painting Industrial Facilities In Long Island City

Being based in Long Island City gives us a great opportunity to help other businesses in the bustling industrial area. This local company was moving to a new facility that desperately needed refreshing and a new identity. The client chose their brands colors to adorn the doors, trim, and walls. The exterior roll-up garage doors were covered in rust and failing coatings. We used a industrial strength wire brush to grind off the failings coatings then painted with UV resistant paint to help protect the doors longer. With our state of the art fancy-schmancy spray machine, the T-9, we were able to paint this facility in efficient fashion.

NYC Acoustic Ceiling Tile Painter

Moving in any capacity can be a daunting task. This company was making a major move into a new office in Long Island City and was looking to refresh it before finishing their move. Using high traffic paint we painted all walls and hallways, using the trim as a nice accent. The trim matches one of the company’s logo colors further deepening their branding. One of the dingiest looking parts of the new office was the acoustic ceiling tiles. It was clear that this office hadn’t been painted in about 20 years. The pictures below show the before and after of the acoustic tiles. We sprayed the acoustic ceiling tiles with flat ceiling white to make them look new again. Painting acoustic ceiling tiles is a quick and affordable way to make a large ceiling look new again. We had a great experience painting this Long Island City office and love commercial painting projects where we get to help local businesses that are just like us.
