Brooklyn Flooring Contractor

It’s been said that the best time to plant a tree is today. And one of the best times to update a kitchen floor is in preparing a place for new tenants. These homeowners wanted to update the retro look of a somewhat worn black and white tile floor with a more contemporary kind of cool in a marbleized look. Floor work like this entails moving all the appliances and base cabinets off said floor and removing it piece by piece. A comprehensive inspection of the subfloor is next, and once it is deemed ready for new flooring, we meticulously install it.

 With everything out of the way, it’s a great time to paint the kitchen as well, which we did. Then the Paintworks crew positioned the lower cabinet back in place along with the big appliances. Voila! The kitchen was refreshed. The homeowner landlords were happy. And we are confident that new tenants will love the floor and freshly painted kitchen in their new abode.

Jackson Heights Flooring Installation

Ethnic diversity takes center stage in Jackson Heights with some 167 languages spoken.Many blocks of pre-war apartment-style buildings, modeled after European structures with courtyard gardens, are bundled in a designated historic district. Linoleum (Latin for linseed oil) was invented in 1855 and can be found in some JH properties, even layers of it, as a Paintworks & Decorating crew recently discovered.

 While linoleum may have enjoyed a reputation for going down easily, it can be a bear of a job coming up. Paintworks approaches these projects with the goal of removing every snippet of old material - in this case four linoleum layers, old glue and adhesives - before patching and repairing the sub floor. Then there's an underlayment before installing hardwood boards. Everything has to be level and fit snugly. The tools and equipment are only as good as the operators, and Paintworks is expert at prepping and laying hardwood floors, allowing for expansion around the edges, and strategically placing boards with a variation at the ends that looks natural. We kind of figure this home's market value increased by multiple factors of the cost of materials and labor, and the homeowners have decades to walk on beautiful flooring from a sustainable natural resource.
