Beautiful Staircase, job well done

Custom NYC Carpentry

 An elegant staircase creates an emotional vibe of sheer grace and grandeur. Wainscoting projects its own version of classic luxury. Renovating one very fine stairway with exceptionally handsome wainscoting results in an interior staircase which becomes enchanting simply to walk up or down. Here, we custom detailed 3-D paneling on the wall adjacent to this stairway.

 We added the wood handrail for the safety of those heading down. Then we painted everything else before removing tape, paper, plastic and picking up paint cans, tools and equipment. The rewarding part of leaving one of our job sites is knowing we’ve vastly improved upon what we started with, and the sense of satisfaction in any professional job well-done feels pretty good. Our bonus is when the client feels pretty good about our work, too. That’s a win-win all around.

Painting Building Stairwell in Prospect Heights

While Brooklyn is the most populous of New York City's boroughs, it also offers many parks and points of interest which draw a vivid cross section of families, retired folks, internationals and working professionals of all stripes. It is a Mecca for artsy types. With all this going for it, it's no surprise to us at Paintworks that savvy property owners and management agents take seriously the paint-related maintenance of apartment buildings.

We recently painted the stairwell and hallways of a 3-story Brooklyn apartment building, which is sure to keep residents and tenants happy for having clean spaces to walk in on the way to their front doors. For this job, a semi-gloss paint was selected for being easy to wash, yet not have the glare of a full gloss paint. The semi-gloss will still reflect light, making the corridors and stairwell seem brighter and more pleasant. Semi-gloss paint also resists fading and humidity a little bit better than other choices. Addressing routine maintenance issues in a timely fashion makes good business sense, and keeping interior common walls fresh and clean contributes positively to low vacancy rates, good-natured residents and a favorable reputation for the building.
