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.

Westchester County Water Damage Restoration 

 Scarsdale, N.Y., was settled in 1701 by a British aristocrat, and more than three centuries later, the English feel remains evident in architecture and street names. The Bronx River Parkway flanks the western border with walking trails along the river, and a rustic footbridge and waterfall. The water is stunning and mesmerizing to watch and photograph, but water is not a welcome addition flowing inside any home. 

This basement in a lovely Scarsdale house encountered major water damage when it flooded, and we went right to work removing tiles, drywall and baseboards. Besides everything being wet where it should be dry, water damage must be managed immediately to prevent mold, mildew, bugs and water-borne disease. Left unchecked, mold can creep through support beams and weaken an entire structure. Once dry, we replaced metal wall studs, new drywall, baseboards and trim, as well as cleaned and re-set the tile flooring. Our team is meticulous with plastering seams, sanding and smoothing everything before applying the coats of paint that render the space dry, attractive and functional once again. 

West Village Kitchen Stone Accent Wall

West Village is lauded for its architecture, shade trees, cobblestone streets, Federal-style townhouses, enchanting shops and trendy restaurants. The Wine Hut, Spirits of Carmine and Pop the Cork Wine Merchants are faves for beer, wine and spirits, while Anine Bing and Castor & Pollux are don't-miss boutiques. It is sophisticated and edgy, classy and funky, akin to a stunning stacked stone interior wall that Paintworks & Decorating recently installed in a West Village kitchen.

 Also called ledge stone, this horizontal rock installation backs into weep screed or metal lath and takes a knowledgeable crew and finely-tuned hands to prep the wall, manage the adhesive and place the stones precisely where they will each complement one another in the overall scheme. Stonework is sophisticated for its timeless appeal. It is, after all, one of the oldest materials on earth and comes in myriad shapes, colors and textures. It is edgy to integrate stacked stone into a modern kitchen. Classy applies comfortably to all natural rock formations, and the ledge stone with its rough 3-D edges projects a funky kind of wow factor. Paintworks also laid new flooring, strategically placing it down before building the stacked stone wall above it. When a creative wave of interior upgrades strikes your fancy, remember that Paintworks & Decorating, based in Manhattan, can guide your whims and deliver impressive results.
