The prep - carefully masking all glass.

Spraying Whole Foods Entrance Doors

The front door of any business can craft first and repeat impressions in the minds of consumers, and Whole Foods called us in to refresh their entrance with cleaning and painting. Our first order of business was to clean the metal door frame with denatured alcohol so the primer would adhere properly. We taped and protected everything not to be painted, precisely matched their color and sprayed with electrostatic paint after hours so business was not disrupted. Now customers step through clean, painted doors into Whole Foods, whose stated purpose is “to nourish people and the planet. Quality is a state of mind at Whole Foods Market.”

Park Slope Exterior Painting

Despite our best efforts, we do judge a book by its cover, people by their attire and a business for the front exterior appearance of its building. The Paintworks & Decorating team was delighted to roll into the Park Slope neighborhood once again, this time to spruce up and re-paint the very cool real estate company Compass's front door and window frames. We covered the sidewalk, expertly taped around the window frames and scraped off old crumbling paint before priming, which occurs before painting anything for a perfect adhering foundation. The window frames have clear, sharp painted edges where they meet the glass because our painters expertly select the right brush for the job and use the kind of steady hand that comes with copious experience painting slim, narrow things. The front door is totally updated with a smooth, new coat of paint. We even power-washed the sign. Inside, the professional real estate agents with Compass are proud of this sleek, smart appearance and extend a special welcome to step inside and visit about your own housing and property hopes and dreams.

Painting Storefront for Conan O’Brien New Season Launch Marketing

Talk about springing into action on short notice with a whisker of temperature variance and a very tight deadline - those were the parameters that Paintworks recently dealt with for an exterior retail store paint job for a nationally syndicated television show. Factor in going from a dark color, black in his case, to a lighter color, orange, and the challenges before us were embraced with confidence and courage. We had 24 hours to begin and end the job and were incredibly thankful that temps hovered ever so slightly above 35 degrees so the exterior paint could bond properly.

We were stoked for the opportunity and worked practically around the clock with Benjamin Moore's Aura Exterior Paint. Among its advantages is the low temperature application possibility, along with exceptional color results with Color Lock® technology, superior adhesion properties, fast dry and re-coat times and self-priming capability. We worked diligently and attentively across three coats to get the desired cover-up of the black and strong presence of the orange. Then we stood back, admired our work and went for donuts.
