Gowanus Cabinet Painting Contractor

The kitchen really is the heart of the home, not only for food and beverages, but also for info exchange, notes, reminders, kid’s drawings and all kinds of communication. This Brooklyn space was definitely outdated with dark cupboards and round knobs alongside darker – black – appliances. And, the stainless steel appliances were not showcased the way they are with the changes.

Our team removed the old, dark backsplash, patched the wall and installed a very cool new penny tile backsplash pattern. The cabinet doors were taken off-site for expert refinishing in our dedicated spray paint studio. We expertly resurfaced the upper cupboard doors with Farrow & Ball’s Oxford Stone. The lower cabinets took on Farrow & Ball’s Tanner’s Brown. With sleek, new hardware handles, the transformation is stunning. It exudes a contemporary aura and like all kitchen renovations, adds measurable value to the property and immeasurable value to the daily experience living here.

Midtown East Backsplash Tile Contractor

 According to nextdoor.com: “Research shows that connecting with just six neighbors reduces loneliness and social anxiety.” The nextdoor app helps people who live near one another help out, sell stuff, exchange information and share contractor recommendations. And we are mighty proud to have been one of the contractor recommendations for a kitchen renovation before new folks moved in from out of state.

The galley kitchen is much loved for efficiency and convenience, and this one’s wood cabinets and old backsplash had worn out its welcome. We came in to resurface all the cupboard doors and drawers in a much brighter white. We also removed and replaced the dull, mini-brick look backsplash with an interesting blue and white geometric tile pattern. The somewhat long hardware was replaced with a shorter version which adds to the contemporary flair. These new homeowners and now clients of ours are already connected with neighbors who happen to be clients as well. The value of word-of-mouth advertising cannot be purchased. It is a result of professional services rendered with amazing results, which is our goal on every project.

Kitchen Updates by Experts

There are many ways to add a stunning focal point to an outfit, the front of a house or an interior room. Being the proverbial heart of the home, the kitchen can be the most used, most visited, most popular room in any residence. In many such spaces, one looks around everywhere without really resting on one clever thing, then pivoting to take in the rest of the décor and function. Not so in this Chappaqua kitchen. The Town of New Castle along the Hudson River includes the enclave of Chappaqua, a Native Indian word for “a place where nothing is heard but the rustling of wind in the leaves.” The shorter version is “the rusting land.”

 Once on site, our crew removed and discarded the old backsplash, careful to protect everything around the space during the demo work. Once out of the way, we cleaned and installed new cement board before custom cutting these gorgeous tiles. Our expert tile guys installed each one perfectly to the high quality standards which every Paintworks team brings to every project. Talk about a stunning focal point in this kitchen – here it is!

Westchester County Backsplash Contractor

The little hamlet of Chappaqua covers less than half a square mile and is embedded in the town of New Castle on the east bank of the Hudson River. We don’t know if George Washington ever slept here, but Horace Greeley lived here and one creative, local couple recently called us to renovate their kitchen. With a baby delivery on the horizon, the schedule was tight and the work was intense. Our first tasks were demolishing and hauling out the countertops, installing a new backsplash and prepping for a complete cabinet resurfacing.

Handling cupboard doors, hardware and drawer fronts in this substantial kitchen, including its island, is a labor-intensive undertaking. Our crew protects floors and anything else adjacent and takes seriously all the steps to prep and resurface kitchen cabinetry for a smooth luster and clean finish. Taking this kitchen from outdated yesteryear to new world luxury will mightily impress this new baby. Well, baby might not notice right away, but we think the parents will meet their new challenges with aplomb, grace and confidence for having such a stunning kitchen in which to warm the baby’s bottles.

Finished!

Queens Tile Contractor

Queens is an eclectic blend of diverse neighborhoods, great sports, arts and culture and cool dining spots, craft brew and interesting shops. In its midst, a family new to the area needed a kitchen renovation, and we were excited to tackle this project. The first task at hand is always to protect adjacent spaces and floors. Then we removed the entire old kitchen and carted the stuff away. Two-tone cabinets are gaining in popularity, so we installed the lower wood ones and upper white ones, both sporting glamorous bronze hardware.

 Installing the new herringbone pattern backsplash was an exercise in intricate measurements, custom tile cutting all along the way and exact placement to achieve the overall sleek look. Tools included a laser level, but the steady hand of experience and keen eye for details can be credited with this result. Cutting tile is not for the faint-hearted or amateur. It is all about precision especially at the lower and upper edges where it has to look like the pattern simply continues on up and down behind the cupboards. The family is very pleased with their new kitchen to enjoy and new neighborhood to explore.
