Midtown East Service Stairwell Painting
 

Finished photos^

Manhattan Property Management Full Building Painter

Everyone likes to be in a space with nicely painted walls, even if its main purpose is being a service stairwell – or two of them for this job -- in a 16-story building. This structure dates back 100 years, and while it probably has not been a century since it was painted, it certainly had been decades. Paint and plaster were chipping and required lots of brushing and scraping even before applying heavy coats of plaster.

A specialty bonding primer is called for to assure that the primer and paint adhere successfully – for more decades – to the newly smoothed plaster. Our team painted the full stairs, along with trim, spindles, handrails, steps and some of the floors between staircases. The black railings against eggshell neutral walls and cool gray floors adds an elegance not often found in stairwells. In fact, there are not many readers who would even think there’s an “elegant service stairwell” anywhere in Midtown, but we all now know of two.

NYC Fire Escape Repair and Renovation

Staying safe means lots of things to lots of people in lots of scenarios. There is much agreement, however, on the fear factor scale that fire is both unwelcome and scary everywhere. Staying safe from fire in New York City can mean your fire escape is strong, well-painted and completely free from clutter. The New York City Department of Housing and Preservation & Development inspects fire escapes and can issue citations to building owners if deemed unsafe.

We were called to West Village not long ago to repair, strengthen and paint one of these iconic life lines to the street. It was nestled between multi-story, masonry buildings. We found it detached at top, rusted and unsafe for foot traffic. This job called for superior cleaning, prep, welding, priming and painting. The welding repair assures that the stairs are firmly attached for safe egress in the event that evacuation outside of the building is necessary. Primer protects the metal, and paint provides a clean, safe stairway. Remember: The only thing ever left on a NYC fire escape is a footprint.

Yoko Ono, wife of the late Beatle John Lennon, has stated: “Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.” It may not be clear what kind of changes one might experience, but starting each day with a big smile at oneself could be a good exercise. There are copious studies on our reflections and how we view ourselves on and below the surface. Perhaps these residents started smiling every morning after we painted the frames of these tall mirrors for their home.

 Wall Mirrors Reflect Light

Decorator’s White is one of Benjamin Moore’s most popular paints for its uncomplicated, sleek finish. Walls of mirrors are often installed in small condos to enlarge spaces, and here the framed vertical mirrors offer a unique sense of style and spaciousness. There is also a theory that mirrors can reduce energy costs for reflecting light during the day, thereby using less electric lights. These mirrors just might ensure the residents never leave with mismatched socks, a crooked skirt hem or a sport coat or necktie askew. The room is quite fashionable, and chances are high that they are, too, stepping out into FiDi – Financial District of Lower Manhattan.
