Wall Street Condo Painter

It’s no secret that fresh paint is the number one best-selling first step in preparing a property for sale. And it’s no secret either that Decorator’s White is a top fave color chosen with confidence. As part of the Designer Classics Collection, prospective buyers are wowed its timeless elegance. They can easily visualize their own furnishings, artwork, colors, rugs and accessories among clean, pure, serene, white walls.

Some of the wood in this sleek, contemporary bathroom [below] had water damage which we patched, primed and sanded, then topped with two finish coats. New owners will love the natural stone here which contrasts comfortably with chrome and white fixtures and glass doors. The open concept is accentuated with large windows flooding the space with natural daylight and city views. We are your partner in real estate sales for being the Painter in Manhattan which can get your property show-ready quickly and professionally. They may not have made a movie about us [yet], but our work moves homes for sale faster than it took Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes to figure out their love for one another in the film “Maid in Manhattan”. At least that’s what we think.

MoMA Building Wallpaper Hanging

Some folks deem wallpaper to be passé but it has survived as an interior decorative accent since as early as 200 B.C. The Chinese painted birds, flowers and landscapes on rice paper. From there, the wallpaper industry has gone through significant changes in manufacturing and designs and continues to thrive. We were over-the-moon with this couple’s choice of a 3-D design for their MoMA home at 53 West 53rd Street, affectionately dubbed 53 West 53 to those in the know. It rises 82 stories in Midtown Manhattan.

The Paintworks team painted the entire condo before prepping this wall for a hand-painted silk wallpaper in varying shades of golden cream drifting into mystic beige. The phenomenal 3-dimensional abstract images range from rock clefts to birds to stalactites protruding horizontally in a Escher-style pattern. Everyone working here was incredibly impressed with the couple’s eye for drama on a wall, while keeping colors subtle and understated. This is sure to captivate everyone who steps into this room including the residents.

Painting Storefront for Conan O’Brien New Season Launch Marketing

Talk about springing into action on short notice with a whisker of temperature variance and a very tight deadline - those were the parameters that Paintworks recently dealt with for an exterior retail store paint job for a nationally syndicated television show. Factor in going from a dark color, black in his case, to a lighter color, orange, and the challenges before us were embraced with confidence and courage. We had 24 hours to begin and end the job and were incredibly thankful that temps hovered ever so slightly above 35 degrees so the exterior paint could bond properly.

We were stoked for the opportunity and worked practically around the clock with Benjamin Moore's Aura Exterior Paint. Among its advantages is the low temperature application possibility, along with exceptional color results with Color Lock® technology, superior adhesion properties, fast dry and re-coat times and self-priming capability. We worked diligently and attentively across three coats to get the desired cover-up of the black and strong presence of the orange. Then we stood back, admired our work and went for donuts.
