Compass Concierge Painting Contractor NY

The power of a first impression can make or break a property sale on first look. With home buyers shopping online initially these days, home sellers are wise to set the stage for a wow factor from that proverbial first impression. And this almost always involves paint. Fresh coats of paint are simply the least expensive bang for your buck in presenting a lovely interior, and here in Chelsea, a stunning kitchen as well. The Chelsea section of Manhattan hugs the Hudson River and offers trendy night spots, chic shops and abundant art galleries.

Dark wood cabinets plunged this kitchen into a dull and dingy space which didn’t seem to fit into the neighborhood or the home. Our Paintworks team rolled in not only to paint the entire apartment, but also to resurface these cabinets for a smooth, sophisticated rendition of one very cool, contemporary kitchen. We moved cabinet doors to our uniquely-designed paint studio, controlled for temperature and dust and outfitted with brilliant lighting. Once completely smooth and dry, we carefully returned and installed them. The owner putting this up for sale understands that fresh paint can close a sale, often at asking price or perhaps higher. New owners are sure to enjoy the timeless white kitchen for decades, as white continues to top the annual kitchen color popularity survey by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (nkba.org).

Refreshing Kitchen Cabinets in NYC

This client just moved into a new apartment and was looking for a way to brighten their kitchen. The cabinets were in great shape but the dark color wasn’t matching the new home vibe that they were looking for. We stepped in to paint the cabinets with Benjamin Moore White Dove semi-gloss to give the kitchen a quick makeover with minimal amount of disturbance for the client. The cabinets look brand new. We are always grateful for paint cabinets in Midtown East Manhattan.

Beautiful Jade Green Cabinet Painting in NYC

It's a bird, it's a plane. No, it's a plant, it's a mineral, it's a paint color! Jade the plant and jade the mineral are known the world over for its rich shades of lush green. And as a paint color, it makes a bold statement on kitchen cupboards in West Village. Here, among the historical buildings and hipster culture, one homeowner decided up raise the bar on kitchen renovation by having us at Paintworks & Decorating refinish the cabinet doors and drawer fronts in a jade green.

It's a balancing act of protecting adjacent rooms, appliances, furniture and other kitchen accoutrements while covering the old finish with the new bright jade green. We are experienced in removing all the kitchen cabinet doors to an off-site location for this triple application of a lacquer kind of paint, while carefully handling the cupboard infrastructure or webbing and drawer fronts in the home. All the hardware and drawer pulls also get taken off and stored during the process. We sand lightly between coats on everything being painted, and this special paint then dries to a hard surface, adding to its lustrous look and smooth touch.

West Village is the perfect place for jade kitchen cupboards for its eclectic style and multi-cultural population. Green is, after all, the most common color in the world for Mother Nature's presence, and what better way to bring a little of the outdoors inside? We thought the result was as stunning as some of the real estate prices in the neighborhood, but we also embrace the brilliant idea of protecting one's investment with a wild splash of jade green for refreshing a kitchen.

Painting Kitchen Cabinets in Hoboken

We love being the go-to Hoboken kitchen cabinet painter because the client is always speechless at the results. This client had recently replaced their countertop and was looking to update the rest of the kitchen to match the new modern vibe. We quickly removed all doors and drawers fronts so we could spray them off-site with multiple coats of Benjamin Moore cabinet coat. With careful sanding in between the coats we returned to paint the built-in cabinet webbing and reinstall the doors. The difference between the before and after is so drastic the client wasn’t even sure they were the same cabinets! As Hoboken kitchen cabinet painting contractors we have seen the impact a cabinet color change can make on the whole kitchen. We are proud of this project in particular because we felt honored to be the last step in the client’s kitchen remodel.

Painting Cabinets: Give Your Cabinets A Quick Makeover

Dated dark cabinets got your kitchen or bathroom feeling a bit gloomy? Professionally painting your NYC cabinets can brighten your room, your day, your life! Last month we had another great opportunity to help a homeowner revive her kitchen. The left side of the picture above shows the cabinets before being painted. The cabinets were dark, chipped, stained, and overall showing major wear and tear. Our first step was to remove all doors and front pieces of drawers to be sprayed off site. While the removable pieces were curing after their 1st coat we started to paint the webbing or built-in cabinetry. The client chose White Mountain semi-gloss as the new color. We sprayed 4 coats of Benjamin Moore Cabinet Coat sanding in between each coat to ensure proper curing and coverage of the wood grain. The client was stunned when we returned to reinstall the cabinet doors. She couldn't believe it was the same cabinets! We love painting cabinets in NYC because the transformation is always a fantastic reminder of what can be achieved with the right products and techniques.
