Bathroom Tiling and Cabinet Installation in Financial District 10006

Elevating the Bathroom and Front Counter

One of our recent projects involved transforming a FiDi coffee shop's interior, focusing on tiling and carpentry work to enhance both functionality and aesthetics. In the bathroom area, we installed sleek, durable tiles that not only withstand high foot traffic but also add a touch of modernity. We also installed tile behind the coffee bar as a backsplash.

We installed cabinets into the concrete walls. The cabinets provided ample storage for supplies, keeping the space organized and efficient, ultimately enhancing the workflow for staff and improving the overall customer experience.

Manhattan Door Replacement

It may appear that choosing a door is an open-and-shut kind of exercise, but it is more complicated. The selection is vast, and each door provides privacy and separation from other spaces in the home, as well as offering an aesthetic component to the overall interior décor. This client had mismatched doors in an outdated style, and it was high time for something new.

Panel doors are timeless for an attractive choice, and solid core are the best for quality in construction and sound reduction. White keeps things crisp and clean, and new door knobs are practically required on new doors. We worked as a team with the client on selecting and sourcing the doors. Then, we took over, picking them up from Dyke’s Lumber, making any custom cuts to fit and installing them, along with the new door hardware. Hanging a door is an intricate kind of work, especially for it being level and swinging both ways correctly while clearing the floor at the proper distance, snugly closing on all sides. Sliding doors require just as much attention to details while installing. The photos illustrate the classy final result, and now it is an open-and-shut kind of exercise.

Manhattan Crown Molding Carpentry

Crown molding comes out of ancient civilization architecture, hides the seam where ceiling meets wall and adds a stunning touch of elegance to any room. It’s a precision kind of job, as each piece needs to be selected for straightness, measured twice and custom cut once. Accuracy is imperative for placement at the perpendicular seam and along the length necessary. Our carpentry skills are as sharp as our painting expertise.

The Paintworks team takes great care in protecting furnishings, floors and fixtures while working, and here we had to use a special blocking technique to prep the surface due to the concrete ceiling. When everything was skillfully added and all freshly painted, we were seriously impressed with how the new crown molding so perfectly complements the lovely antique furnishings in this Manhattan home.

Pinterest To Reality - Building a Reading Nook With Custom Wall Paneling

Pinterest serves as the visual discovery engine for everything from interior décor to slogans, recipes, fashion, front doors, curb appeal and pretty much everything under the sun. It was here that clients found a charming corner seating space in a restaurant that they wanted to replicate at home. “Make it Happen” was our marching order. Initially, we engaged all our math, measuring and geometry skills to evaluate the space, the bench, bookcases, walls and angles to craft a precision plan with mitered corners, ell seating with back support and custom wood trim on the lower walls.

 The triple-layer paneling projects a 3-dimensional look and feel, and the entire project melded our sketching, measuring, planning, cutting, building, installation, priming and painting skills. The back cushion offers a huge ergonomic benefit, and bench legs make cleaning under it a breeze. Our Paintworks team can make your Pinterest idea come to life as well. Show us a photo, provide specifics and colors and boom, we make it happen!

The Finished Product

Before starting

Yorkville Manhattan Skim Coating, Carpentry, and Painting

When this client contacted us they just purchased beautiful apartment in the Upper East Side. They were moving back into Manhattan after spending a few years in Nassau County. They were excited to be back in the Big City and looking to create an apartment that matched this excitement. The apartment needed a lot of work. Luckily the owners has an amazing eye for detail and design and was not afraid to go bold. The crowning touch was his choice of black for new crown molding and the ceiling. Talk about interior elegance! Black has always been associated with strength and power with splashes of mystique and rebellion.

The vacant rectangular room had an awesome rustic clay brick floor-to-ceiling wall and fireplace, dull floors, 2 vertical windows and common white walls in need of a good paint job. The ceiling met the wall in undecorated 90-degree angles. Embedding crown molding into this unadorned space instantly enhanced the room. Sanding and refinishing the floors brought luster and sheen back to them. We then skim coated the walls for an even texture and to make it possible to install crown molding. Once the crown molding was installed we moved to painting. We expertly painted both the ceiling and the new crown molding in jet black. Adding gold drapes and a charcoal gray sofa created a uniquely gracious space which evokes a cozy tranquility amidst the dazzling excitement of city life. We were thrilled to participate in this transformation that embraces the natural world in wood and brick and refined lifestyle statement of exquisite black, pristine white and regal gold
