Insured High Rise Condo Painters NYC

The etymology of words and phrases can be quite an eye-opener. Years ago “elevation of meaning” applied to a word or phrase which once meant something different and lesser than it does in contemporary language. The word “guy”, for example, originally referred to a person with a strange appearance or dressed in rags, then it denoted men, and now it’s collectively any people. Likewise, the “pent” part of penthouse once was used for a shed or sloping roof from a main wall, like a lean-to on the side of a building. Around 1921, penthouse became associated with a dwelling place on the roof of a skyscraper, connoting luxury and style.

We are the NYC painters of luxury and style ~ and everything else ~ and when these penthouse owners left town, we carefully covered the floors in brown paper and draped the furniture for protection. The place had not been painted in years, evidenced by the fingerprints and smudges when natural daylight and sunshine streamed inside. So our team patched all the holes and cracks and let them dry and sanded everything smooth. We painted the walls in PPG Husky Grey, a soft, cool neutral with class and dignity. The freshly painted penthouse walls now sport nary a smudge and provide this urban nest with the interior lift it needed. Welcome home, folks!

We were contacted by an innovative homeowner who wanted to make his newly purchased apartment uniquely his own before moving in. His vision included the warm look of multi-grain wood and walls with a French Wash. Our Paintworks team installed the new floor and added a modern, flat profile baseboard finished with quarter-round shoe molding.  

Walls are the largest expanse in any room, and here we used Benjamin Moore’s Nickel as the base coat and the company’s Smoke Gray for the top coat. The French Wash effect adds texture and depth with a soft marbleized appearance. To achieve this novel result, we used a large swath of muslin cloth working non-stop as the Smoke Gray paint was applied in random brush strokes followed by patting the wall quickly and expertly with the fabric. The outcome is a stunning, deep pewter, contemporary interior with an industrial flair where the homeowner can proudly host friends and relax himself.

Midtown Manhattan Luxury Condo Painting Contractor

Relocating from the Sunshine State to the Big Apple carries enough excitement and emotion without moving into a somewhat outdated luxury condo in midtown Manhattan. This brown entertainment cabinet wall with wonderful storage behind the doors was definitely on the list of archaic things to change. We removed the cupboard doors from the wall and took them off-site to our specially-designed, spray-painting facility. There, we removed all the hardware, and patched the holes never to be noticed again.

 We selected Benjamin Moore’s Insul-x Cabinet Coat for its ultra-smooth, factory-like finish. Additionally, the product adheres perfectly to surfaces without a primer. It comes in a satin or semi-gloss finish, and we love its durability, quality and overall attractive appearance. New sleek hardware is barely visible and lends a chic contemporary feel to the whole room. The family added some color for fresh vibes in other places transforming their new condo into their own cozy home.
