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.

Manhattan Commercial Electrostatic Spraying

It’s easy to think of all the things that need painting like your office walls, home interior, ceilings, shelves, signs, doors and bricks and mortar stores. Easily overlooked are essentials like fire escapes, commercial bathroom partitions, stairway railings and the like. We see these things every day and think nothing of them unless there’s rust, dirt, grime or peeling paint. Then it becomes front and center in our minds for not looking fresh, clean and appealing.

Additionally, many of the materials are varying kinds of metal which require varying kinds of processes to scrape, sand, prep, prime and paint with varying kinds of products and techniques. Here we had to mask and cover all but the partition walls, then clean them, apply two coats of primer and two coats of finish paint. The products we use for this type of project are ones which bond well and last a long time. We are trained and experienced in electrostatic spraying for jobs such as this, and it is one sure way to brighten a window-less commercial rest room.
