15 Broad Street Interior Painting Company

Wall Street was named in 1711 for a long-gone wall built by Dutch settlers to keep out the pirates and the Brits. Though it is only six blocks long, the surrounding streets house some of the largest, most reputable financial entities in the world. Broad Street runs between Wall St. and Exchange Place. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was constituted in 1817. Fast forward 204 years, and the new owners of a beautiful condo across the street from NYSE wanted to brighten their interior walls. We love the vitality and pizzazz found in this part of Manhattan and eagerly loaded up our floor protection materials, paint, tape, brushes, scrapers, rollers, ladders and all we would need for the project.

You might read that “kids say the darndest things,” but hey, adults “do the darndest things.” In this delightful condo, someone had wallpapered the ceilings. We set about removing that, which is easier said than done, working kind of upside down, peeling, scraping, sanding and smoothing prior to priming and painting. The walls have been transformed from dark and dull to bright and beautiful with the popular White Dove paint selection. And the new owners are happy in their pleasant, newly painted home.

Lower Manhattan Drywall Repair

Besides being hot to the taste buds, chili peppers are visually delightful for their bold red color. In fact, Pantone, the world’s foremost authority on color, selected “chili pepper” for its Color of the Year in 2007. Long associated with exotic foods and cultural distinction, this dramatic dark red exudes energy, passion and strength. On one recent fun job where the client ordered up a super cool wall of horizontal stripes in the red, orange and yellow spectrum, we painted the 2nd floor air duct to match the chili pepper stripes.

Electrical and HVAC technicians most often have to go through walls to get their work done. And if had we a dime for every hole-in-the-wall we’ve plastered up, smoothed over, primed and painted, we’d be sipping margaritas under a palm tree somewhere. Projects like this get our own creative juices flowing, and when done, well, we all want to go home and paint something this exciting for ourselves.

Manhattan Wrought Iron Gate Painting

A fence encircling a yard or outdoor space is akin to a frame around a picture. It finishes the look and makes everything neat and tidy and collected. Historic homes often have wrought iron fences which add character and style to the exterior. Like many outside finishes, sun, heat, cold, rain, wind, snow, ice, dirt particles and time take a toll on the paint. Once it begins to break down, the metal below can be exposed, rust and deteriorate in looks and strength.

We love restoring these timeless borders. This one in West Village had not been painted in 10 years, so we began by protecting the ground and concrete under it and gently removing the compromised coatings. Once the metal is exposed, we apply a rust converter and metal primer. When that is dry, and we are certain those coats completely encase and protect the wrought iron, we add the finish coats – plural, more than one – for the aesthetic beauty and additional preservation.

High Rise Manhattan Home Painting

NOMAD or NoMad denotes “North of Madison Square Park,” while literally it means “a member of a people with no fixed residence who move from place to place, often seasonally.” So, here we have a couple purchasing this amazing high-rise condo in NoMad who are not nomads. If anything, they are nesters who wanted their new home freshly painted. While bald eagles, known for their high, large nests, are also not especially nomadic for returning to their nests each year, these aeries are found only 50 to 125 feet off the ground. This stunning property on the 37th floor is around 518 feet high, using 14 feet per story measurement.

It’s a challenge to stay focused with views like this, but we did it. We put down recycled brown paper to protect the floors and went to work patching and spackling so each coat of paint would be perfect. The living room sports Benjamin Moore’s Simply White, and the blue hue is named White Satin for its gentle undertones of a pale sky. “Evoking the shimmering beauty of a dragonfly's wings, this deep shade of blue-green is playful and full of energy,” so states the benjaminmoore.com website regarding this rich greenish-blue color. What a place to call home, a fixed residence that redefines a room with a view.

T-Mobile Store Painter

 Customer-crazed and employee-committed are two of the mantras for T-Mobile and its 5G network. VoiceStream Wireless Corporation was acquired in 1999 by Deutsche Telekom AG headquartered in Bonn, Germany, and re-named T-Mobile. The company operates the third largest wireless network in the U.S. behind AT&T and Verizon. With more than 98 million customers, T-Mobile must have thousands in the Big Apple.

 To stay on target for being customer-crazed, the Manhattan T-Mobile retail store is dedicated to delivering a clean, fresh, awesome experience for current customers and potential ones. Anyone stepping into this shop is welcomed with a cool, vibrant, freshly painted interior. As one might imagine, a retail phone store enjoys lots of traffic, along with lots of scuffs and normal wear and tear. We painted the walls and ceilings in one of Benjamin Moore’s Ultra Spec® Scuff-X® products. These paints are specifically designed and formulated for lobbies, retail spaces, offices and places which are accustomed to above average use. And we like to think professional painting adds a component of comfort in a high tech, cutting edge, retail setting for both customers and employees.
