Manhattan Crown Molding and Box Molding Installation

New York City has a long, rich history of development since an early settlement around 1524. Historic structures, bridges and landmarks grace the city, and one couple and their sweet, fluffy, caramel chocolate color pup wanted to infuse some historical flair in their new home in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Crown molding and decorative panel wall trim can be found in historically-significant buildings throughout the Big Apple.

Our client selected crown molding for an elegant look around the ceiling edges and box molding to add some class to a plain wall. We custom cut and installed all the molding before painting everything. We even hung the graceful, new chandelier to the designated length. Combined with old brick painted white and the attractive ceiling medallion, the home evokes a perfect blend of modern style and historical design elements.

Experienced Interior NYC Home Painters

Selling any home practically requires new paint to achieve the fresh, clean, show quality presentation which will generate offers from day one. Walls consume more than half the space of most rooms, so their appearance is likely the first visual impression. With the natural daylight in these rooms, the owner knew light reflected off the walls would be noticed in the first few steps into the elegant bedroom and inviting living room. 

The skyline of Midtown East Manhattan is stunning, and 5th Avenue shopping is an impressive adventure in first-class merchandise. It’s busy with an unparalleled energy and vibrant enthusiasm everywhere. From Grand Central Terminal and Madison Avenue to nice neighborhoods and parks, you can find delightful eateries, cafes, bistros and casual pubs. It’s a fun, lively place to work, live and play, and this condo is now all set for its new owners.

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.

NYC Condo Painter

This Manhattan client was looking to refresh their living space going into the Spring and we were happy they called us. We love painting in historic buildings and this building was no exception. Complete with a hand operated elevator this 100+ year old apartment took extra time and attention painting around the original marble fireplace. The room has many large windows and the White Dove color chosen was a perfect fit with the walls and moldings. Being a painting contractor in the Gramercy Park neighborhood we greatly enjoy painting on Lexington Avenue, Park Avenue, and surrounding streets.

NYC Rental Painting Contractor

One of the most thoughtful things a property manager or homeowner can do before renting a property is to have the walls painted white. Paintworks & Decorating based in Manhattan is the perfect painting contractor to achieve this bright, fresh, clean interior. White reflects maximum light and even offers a kind of emotional new start for prospective tenants. People move for a variety of reasons, and many of them need not only a clean slate interior, but also the atmosphere that exudes radiance and glows with optimism and hope. White can do that more than any other color as evidenced by this recent Midtown West paint project.  

No matter what shade of white - and Paintworks is happy to guide your decision here - all the decorative styles are a match from the get go. Of course, contemporary, modern, minimalist and sleek scream white, but rustic flea market finds in old wood, painted tin or salvaged metal stand out for their contrast with white. From traditional, Victorian, midcentury, Craftsman and Asian to the newly revered industrial, shabby chic and Scandinavian designs, white backdrops accentuate the fabrics and furnishings of all. Especially Scandinavian. Other thoughtful things include a simple rental application, easy-to-understand lease and fresh flowers or donuts on move-in day.
