Wonderful smooth ceiling - no more outdated popcorn look

Yorkville Popcorn Ceiling Removal and Plastering 

Yorkville’s acclaim for a great New York City place to live has been enhanced in recent years with a new subway stop and ferry landing. Once woods and pastures, Yorkville now boasts an abundance of diverse housing options, along with Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the Mayor. This client acquired a place here which clearly needed some love.

Popcorn ceilings are so yesterday. And popcorn ceilings with cracks and water damage are simply unbearable. We scaped away and captured loose paint and plaster before skim coating the ceilings for a smooth and even texture. We added paint up there and then went around the whole place and painted all the walls. These folks can come home from East River Walk or Ruppert Park to a sweet, freshly painted home with sleek ceilings and warm, welcoming walls.

Here’s the ceiling at the outset of the project.

Wolf-Gordon Manhattan Paper Hanging

With a keen eye for class and the desire to make a stylish statement in their new apartment, this family collaborated with our color consultant to determine their preference for the wall paint plus an accent wallpaper in the bedroom. Benjamin Moore’s Yukon Sky 1439 was selected for the walls, its smoky blue-gray subtly hinting at an approaching night time.

Wolf-Gordon’s wallpaper products combine excellent design with dependable performance. The wall surface must be completely smooth and uniform. There are many adhesives from which to choose depending on the thickness and material of the wallpaper. Then there’s using the precise amount of glue and lining up each sheet perfectly next to the previous one and trimming at the edges where one wall makes a corner with another one. Wallpaper installation is a demanding combination of art, science, timing and precision, and we happen to think this shimmery, dappled accent wall is very cool.

Colorful Interior Painters

There is general consensus on color having all kinds of emotional impacts on our lives. Bold, bright colors deliver energy, vitality and even power into someone’s cognitive mind. Combine that morsel of info with an exciting, upscale neighborhood like Lenox Hill in the Upper East Side, and you have the perfect combo for an elegant, animated, luxury lifestyle.

This family selected Behr Emergency Zone for the orange. Talk about excitement! This unique blend of primary colors red and yellow delivers large for every season and offers balance, enthusiasm and a flamboyant flair, minus any emergency. The Gentle Sea shade of blue, also a Behr product, in another room carries a bit more calm, but seas connote motion and energy as well. The wall light sconces emit a remarkable splash of luminous ambience. Blue hues promote harmony and confidence, and that’s what we believe will be omnipresent in their new abode.

Yorkville Painters

 The Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan hugs the East River on the east and rests an easy couple blocks walking to Park Avenue. Gracie Mansion, the official home of the mayor, is in Yorkville, along with Carl Schurz Park and the 92nd Street Y. Papaya King, which opened in 1932, is still serving up grilled hot dogs and tropical drinks. High-rise condo buildings offer classy, contemporary cribs, and we recently painted one of these.

 A coat of paint does wonders for any interior space (or exterior), and savvy property managers and homeowners who rent out their properties know this well. Thus, we waltzed into one of these Upper East Side condos in between tenants to spruce up the walls. The paint choice was Pink Damask OC-72 from Benjamin Moore’s Off-White Color collection. These walls will wow any prospective tenant for their light, neutral, quietly sophisticated allure. It’s the perfect, serene background for any style of art, décor, fabrics and furnishings.

UES Local Painters

With a bird’s eye view out this Upper East Side apartment, the owner wanted her rental nest to look great before marketing it for new tenants. The ceiling needed some repair, and since you can’t have a tree canopy and the sky above, like the real birds do, then sprucing this up was the next best thing. Ceilings are often only in our peripheral vision, not especially noteworthy, until there’s peeling paint or a little damage or imperfections that capture our eye. Then one might wonder if the ceiling here is not important to keep clean and freshly painted, what else might not be up to snuff?

 So, the Paintworks troop moved in with plaster, paint, ladders, scaffolding, long handles for rollers and all the tools for plastering, priming and painting the tops of the rooms. Ceilings can be challenging up overhead, but we are always up for any challenge that involves, renovation, flooring and more. This lady landlord can now proudly show the space in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, known for Madison Avenue, the Museum Mile and almost everything you need for a satisfying live-work-play experience.
