Electricians are brilliant in their grasp of wiring, switches, schematics and technical drawings, circuit breakers, loads and meter diagnostic tools. They must know local and state building code requirements along with the National Electric Code which dictates safe electric design, installation and inspection to protect the public from electrical hazards, which can be deadly. Overloaded electrical outlets are a common cause of electrical fires. The Fire Department of the City of New York has a 2-page “Plug Into Safety” document to guide residents on electrical home safety. You can review this at https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/fdny/downloads/pdf/fire-safety-education/10_electricity_home_safety_english.pdf.

 With all these skills and knowledge packed into their heads, electricians are not expected to restore spaces where they work. And we love following in their footsteps. Here we filled and spackled more than 20 holes. Once sanded and smooth again, we primed and painted the hall wall in this 90-year-old Brooklyn building. The residents will be pleased come summer that new wiring was installed to support the air conditioning system, and they are grateful now for the freshly repaired and painted hallway. Even with modernization like air conditioning, these historic buildings continue to evoke a grace and style of yesteryear.

NYC After Hours Commercial Painting

Merchandise in any store is enticing, but equally important to attract customers is the condition of the interior, cleanliness and attention to detail. The first Ann Taylor shop opened in 1954, and today's brands - Ann Taylor, LOFT and Lou & Grey - have a presence in all 50 states. According to anntaylor.com, "we get that a woman expresses herself through what she wears – at work, at home and at play." Along the way, these shop interiors need updating, and that's where Paintworks & Decorating stepped in, after hours, to remove wallpaper, prep and prime walls and then paint. We got the call mid-afternoon and arrived ready to work at 7 p.m. when the store closed. It was evening and night work which makes us come to mind almost anytime a New York City shop needs sprucing up inside, water damage repair, floors refinished or simply new, fresh, clean coats of paint. Among styles that Ann Taylor indicates are trending now are animal prints, faux suede, wine and navy. In the paint contracting arena, Paintworks & Decorating is always trending. The store manager was impressed. The employees did not lose any hours. The customers were not at all inconvenienced. This Ann Taylor store looks a little more sharp with its merchandise surrounded by smooth, sleek, freshly painted walls.
