Refreshing Home Interior with New Paint

 After half a decade in their home, this couple was ready for refreshing their interior with a lovely, neutral, gentle gray throughout living spaces and the kitchen area. Soft pewter evokes safety with touch of class and leaves the excitement level wide open for the decorative accents and textiles to make a splash. The fun part of bathrooms is being bold, and this Newburyport Blue HC-155 is part of the Historic Color Collection in Benjamin Moore’s paint line. Steeped in tradition, the color delivers a warm, elegant and confident tone in a small space.

 Living in Long Island City along the East River is as peaceful as it is energizing. The serenity of the riverfront park beckons moments of reflection, while the art scene and trendy eateries, performance venues and a vibrant night life create engaging diversions. The view of Manhattan is dazzling, but these residents might be just as content at home in their own revitalized interior with take-out from Beebe’s or The Inkan or Chairman Sun.

NYC Commercial Epoxy Painting

 Everywhere people go, they are mentally and emotionally impacted by their surroundings, and this includes car parking garages and bike parking spaces. It may be subliminal, of which the dictionary definition is: [of a stimulus or mental process] below the threshold of sensation or consciousness; perceived by or affecting someone's mind without their being aware of it.” Contracting for and maintaining clean, modern, attractive spaces for residents to park their vehicles are priorities of one property management company in the Williamsburg vicinity of Brooklyn.

 After cleaning, priming and painting the 4-wheel vehicle garage in contemporary black and white with wide, angled, white stripes, we went to work on the new 2-wheel parking room. The project started with cleaning everything with denatured alcohol, then priming with an oil-based primer for exceptional bonding. Industrial paint coats were professionally sprayed. Decorative lines matching the other garage were drawn and expertly painted. The crowning touch, which sounds like the ceiling, really was the floor, which our experienced team finished with epoxy floor paint with a super durable product. So much of our work is contingent on understanding the processes, the products and the professional application for a clean, long-lasting, attractive space, in this case for energetic pedal-pushers to rest their bicycles and themselves.

DURING

BEFORE

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.

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.

Uptown Co-op Wall Repair

A professionally textured wall can lend a gentle kind of rustic style, even in a stairwell or common hallway. In some cases, it camouflages imperfections that a smooth wall cannot, but overall it looks very cool except when the current coat of paint is flaking and falling off, revealing compromised plaster underneath and creating an eyesore for anyone walking the stairs or in the hallway. When a New York City co-op building determines that a stairwell needs some serious attention, many of them call us to evaluate the damage and prescribe the remedy.

 Here we had to scrape away old paint and plaster, vacuuming the debris with HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners for the health and safety of residents and visitors. We applied a sophisticated plaster weld to ensure bonding before adding the decorative plaster in a way to match existing textures. Then our experienced painters fully primed the wall and added two coats of finish paint in Benjamin Moore’s Baby’s Breath white. Creating and painting textured walls is a skill and an art, and we like to think anyone traveling in this stairwell appreciates its fresh, new, polished look.
