Painting Shake Shack on The Upper East Side
 

Upper East Side Commercial Painting Contractor

Whether you are popping into Target for socks or Walgreens for shampoo, when you’re on East 86th Street, for sure carve out time for Shake Shack. With humble beginnings of a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park, the company has expanded worldwide to 436 locations, six of them in the Big Apple. This Upper East Side street has its own non-profit association “to improve the quality of life along the East 86th Street corridor.” There’s lots going on here, and we worked all around the business schedule and daily urban action in and around Shake Shack.

We were honestly honored to get called in to paint yet another Shake Shack without sacrificing one shake order – or one shackburger order, for which it’s also very well-known. Our project was to prime and paint all the woodwork, plus plaster and paint the ceiling. Obviously, protecting e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. inside the eatery was imperative, so that was task one. Once things were sufficiently covered, our team set to work and worked all night, beginning at 11 p.m., when many Shake Shack customers were snuggling in for the night.

The restaurant opened on time at 10 a.m., and many well-rested regulars strolled in for frozen custard, fresh lemonade, a shake, some fries and maybe their awesome sweet-n-salty peanut butter and bacon shackburger, oh my! We actually did this two nights in a row to finish the project, freshen the restaurant and provide our excellent services, which we do often in the night for retail businesses. We love all our commercial clients and willingly do our work around their work, so everyone gets to work, on time.

 
Charlotte Russe Store Painter NYC
 

Brooklyn Retail Space Commercial Painter

The mail must go through. The show must go on. The store must open on time. We were up and out early, arriving at Kings Plaza in Brooklyn before 6 a.m. to set up, prep and paint the accent inset walls to match other walls. The results delivered a cleaner, more consistent interior environment for shoppers and staff.

The Charlotte Russe store chain was founded in 1975 by three brothers who grew up in the clothing business in Brooklyn. They headed west and opened their business in California, naming it for a favorite childhood dessert. Charlotte Russe cake is a delightful confection of ladyfingers, Bavarian cream and fresh fruit. And this Charlotte Russe store is a delightful shop for stylish clothes, trendy footwear and contemporary accessories. All painted and pretty and open at 11 a.m. same day.

After Hours NYC Commercial Painters

Studies reporting the high productivity of employees who work in a clean, well-organized space are seriously embraced by this company, a repeat commercial office client in the Big Apple. For more than five years, Paintworks has provided professional services to keep their office spaces clean and bright. Most of the walls are white, which reflects maximum natural light and offers a comfortable work environment. Accent walls then provide style and variety.

Weekend and night work is part of our operating approach so businesses and offices need not close unnecessarily for our expert painting crews. Here, we may have surprised a few employees with newly painted offices for an extra happy Monday! The firm had ordered new furniture, and you know anything new makes other things look old. Not so, these folks! New furniture, newly painted walls, like-new digs providing a refreshed spirit and revitalized energy among the staff.

Whole Foods Commercial Painter
 

Whole Foods service counter recently painted black for an elite contrast with white and stainless steel.

NYC Commercial Painting

We love Whole Foods the business and foods which are whole and healthy. We stay healthy so we can take on projects of all kinds all over the Big Apple and northern New Jersey, residential and commercial. Whole Foods opened in the fall of 1980 in Austin, Texas, and now has 500 stores across the country. Here we had to work after hours, obviously. You just cannot spray paint around food or customers! Our team is always willing to paint odd hours, nights or weekends, so a business does not lose any of its open time.

The somewhat ugly yellow-greenish counter here had to be updated, and simple black promotes elegance and style, yes, even at a Whole Foods service counter. And it’s the ideal contrast to bright white tiled walls and stainless steel. The purpose is that you don’t really see the freshly painted front, but focus on the food, the staff present to help you, and the specifics of your order. This way, you can stay healthy, too, and not be unnecessarily distracted by some outdated shade of lemon-lime paint.

Aha moment, when classy black reigns at this counter!

Starting the job, protecting everything, looking forward to the new look ourselves!

 
New York City Conference Room Painter
 

IdeaPaint Walls

Leave it to a clever college freshman to invent IdeaPaint. In an entrepreneur group at Babson College, John Goscha tired of covering a wall with white paper, writing ideas all over it and having to remove it and put up new paper for more brainstorming. Necessity is the mother of invention, after all, and he deemed that they needed an easier way to manage the wall. Enter IdeaPaint, a premium dry erase paint in versions for residences, schools and commercial entities. Applying this novel product takes careful preparation and experience in properly sanding and priming before painting.

The office staff in one DUMBO business wanted to refresh their conference room walls with IdeaPaint so anyone with a flash of brilliance could share their idea on the wall. Everyone could see it and some major and minor brainstorming could ensue. Someone else could add thoughts and theories, flow charts, do some number crunching, draw happy faces and sketch out formulas for world peace. As the ideapaint.com website states: [IdeaPaint] transforms passive spaces into active environments. We were tempted to test it with a big “THANK YOU FOR HIRING PAINTWORKS”, but we refrained and left behind a very cool white wall for brainstorm sessions with their creative staff and meeting participants.
