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.

Gramercy Park Retrofit Full Bath to Powder Room

When our jobs extend beyond painting, we step right up to listen, understand, work and deliver what the homeowner specifies. Here we had a bathroom project which included removing a shower, walls and floor tiles at the outset. The homeowner wanted to convert a full bath into a half bath, while keeping the plumbing in place and shower body for reversing everything if a new owner wants to in the future.

 Structo-Lite® Basecoat Plaster, a lightweight, insulated, basecoat gypsum plaster with thermal conductivity, was used to level the walls before installing new porcelain tiles. We installed and centered a new sink, plus mirror, lighting and toilet. It's now a modern, sleek little half-bath with light industrial undertones.
