Licensed Paint Stripping NYC

We accessorize our outfits and decorate for curb appeal, and many 1920s-era buildings in New York City were constructed with charming interior details in the trim, radiators, doorways and fireplace mantles. It enhances our lives to have attractive accents around us, whether our own appearance or that of the front yard or inside our homes. One lady approached us not long ago to remove decades of paint build-up and restore her front door before taking up residence.

 The whole project was an interesting, fun challenge. It took a great deal of precision work and tons of patience to remove itsy-bitsy paint fragments from the detail edges. Much attention was required especially on the hinges. But to do it right and restore this door to its former glory, we just hunkered down with tiny tools, if not quite as small as the dentist uses. Almost. The original metal now gleams and adds a most enchanting component to her interior décor. Working with metal doors, trim, fences, fire escapes and more presents unique challenges for which we have the experience, expertise and knowledge of what sticks, what works, how to get the job done with excellent results. Every time.

Maintain and Preserve Exterior Metal Paneling

Despite our best efforts, we do judge a book by its cover, people by their clothing and a building by its outward appearance. First impressions set the stage for everything that follows. Curb appeal can be a deal breaker for a sale - whether you are trying to sell a building, promote products or services from a company inside, lease condos in a high-rise or sell tickets for a performance.

Thus, exterior metal and steel with rust, oxidation spots or other unsightly deformities could cost real money in lost business or contribute to a poor reputation. Inspecting, maintaining and protecting metal is sensible to protect not only your revenue stream, but also your investment. It is incredible how much damage a pin hole or expanding rust issue can cause. Pollution, sunlight, weather, salt from winter road treatment and myriad environmental and man-made factors (like jack hammers digging up a sidewalk nearby) can adversely impact and potentially compromise the strength and durability of exterior metal beyond the appearance.

Paintworks & Decorating possesses years of experience and tons of knowledge in metal maintenance. Based in Manhattan and serving the greater New York City region, Westchester County, and parts of northern New Jersey, the company embraces that a good defense for metal preservation is a positive offense with inspections, appropriate cleaning and sealing or painting.

Cleaning and painting outside metal is not a DIY job or task for the faint-hearted or unskilled. Treatment before painting can include chemical solutions, etch primers and/or sweep blasting. Let Paintworks do what they do best for exterior metal treatments and preservation, so you can spend your time doing whatever you do best.
