NY Apartment Painter

The Upper East Side exudes elegance, and one couple craved a new, more refined style in their living room. With its unique ceiling trim and high shelf, beams, charming bay window and warm wood floors, the space was perfect for Behr's Orion Gray in soft matte. The contrast with white trim generates the chic ambience that a deep charcoal color radiates. They feel a new kind of energy at home now, and as the project unfolded, we experienced it as well. It was a game-changer in this very nice apartment.

Painting the Girl Scouts Retail Store

For more than 100 years, the Girl Scouts have been inspiring girls to advance skills and reach for the stars. Their cookies are an American icon, and their NYC store carries sashes, uniforms, clothing, fun badges and all kinds of cool merchandise. So not to interrupt any business hours, our Paintworks crew worked overnight scraping and plastering damaged walls and refreshing white walls which had become scuffed and dirty. Sherwin-Williams has mixed custom colors specifically for the Girl Scouts, and we applied those as instructed. All the merchandise, shelving and displays had been protected by us, and it was business as usual the next morning in a wonderful, clean, freshly painted store.

Start-up Venture Needs Fresh Start

Any start-up venture is exciting, challenging, frustrating, demanding and stimulating all at once. Budding or seasoned entrepreneurs need a nice, bright, freshly painted space to plan, work and brainstorm. Being an entrepreneurial business ourselves, Paintworks & Decorating knows well that the damaged, dingy, smudged interior we encountered very much needed a lift before they arrived. We set about plastering holes and repairing damaged places, then professionally applied fresh coats of white paint all in one day for the large office. We have all the right licenses and insurance in place to paint any office in Manhattan, and this new company begins defining and realizing its goals in a clean, calm office space.

NYC After Hours Commercial Painting

Merchandise in any store is enticing, but equally important to attract customers is the condition of the interior, cleanliness and attention to detail. The first Ann Taylor shop opened in 1954, and today's brands - Ann Taylor, LOFT and Lou & Grey - have a presence in all 50 states. According to anntaylor.com, "we get that a woman expresses herself through what she wears – at work, at home and at play." Along the way, these shop interiors need updating, and that's where Paintworks & Decorating stepped in, after hours, to remove wallpaper, prep and prime walls and then paint. We got the call mid-afternoon and arrived ready to work at 7 p.m. when the store closed. It was evening and night work which makes us come to mind almost anytime a New York City shop needs sprucing up inside, water damage repair, floors refinished or simply new, fresh, clean coats of paint. Among styles that Ann Taylor indicates are trending now are animal prints, faux suede, wine and navy. In the paint contracting arena, Paintworks & Decorating is always trending. The store manager was impressed. The employees did not lose any hours. The customers were not at all inconvenienced. This Ann Taylor store looks a little more sharp with its merchandise surrounded by smooth, sleek, freshly painted walls.

Greenwich Village Interior Painting

Greenwich Village is one of the coolest and most historic places to live in New York City. The Village use to be known as an epicenter for the American Bohemia movement of the early and mid-20th century. These two rooms were painted with Farrow and Ball, which is one of the best paints to use because it has less binding agents, less water and more of all the important pigments. We were thrilled that we were able to paint this historic house.
