Lintel Painting Contractor

Windows are built from a variety of materials like different types of woods, high grade plastics, and weather-resistant metals. Weather conditions must be considered when it comes to window installation and maintenance. This, along with choosing the right products to use, can cause a world of confusion where people often miss a crucial element in their facade design plan - the lintel.

What is a lintel and why paint it?

Lintels provide a visible means of support in the structural integrity of windows. They are typically made of angular steel, stone or cast concrete and found on the top of all doors and windows in a typical structure. Despite its diminutive nature, this piece of metal is crucial to a façade’s integrity. They carry heavy weight and require inspection to be approved.

Since they are located on your building’s exterior, they are susceptible to rust. A severely rusted lintel will begin to expand because of moisture and water damage. The expansion can result in cracks in your façade which can lead to a costly repair bill.

For this reason, they need maintenance and upkeep to protect your home or business building exterior. Experts recommend having your lintels checked annually, and this is where Paintworks & Decorating can step in.

Our Process

Our expert team is able to restore lintels by scraping away rust and dirt and sanding the surface to smooth. Professionally-trained employees only use the best products for rust removal - products which will protect your lintel metal from acquiring more rust.

We apply a primer base first so the rust prevention paint over that adheres well to a metal surface. High quality rust preventive exterior paints (such as Rust-Oleum) increase the longevity and integrity of your lintels.

Our experienced specialists have worked on hundreds of homes and businesses, and we are well-positioned to service your lintel service needs.

There’s lots of advice on getting a good night’s sleep. Mike Lindell of My Pillow fame will say that his line of pillows, mattress pads and sheets will give you the best sleep of your life. At SleepFoundation.org, you’ll find that “your bedroom is your sanctuary from the stresses of the day.

BEFORE Floor Refinishing and Painting

Manhattan Painting and Floor Refinishing Vendor Compass Concierge

The property owner reimburses the costs to Compass when the property sells, the contract ends or 12 months later. No interest, folks.  

The owner of this apartment in Manhattan wanted the wood floors refinished and everything painted to look terrific and maximize value. Compass Concierge connected with the Paintworks crew to refinish the stunning hardwood floors and paint every room. From sanding and dust flying to smooth polyurethane application and excellent painting, we managed everything professionally, one step at a time, and presented the owner with a show-stopping condo interior to sell – quickly and lucratively.

Brooklyn Interior Residential Painting

Electricians are not painters, and we at Paintworks don’t wire electrical things. They do the wiring. We do the painting. So when a sharp Bedford-Stuyvesant resident had new lights installed, the electrician left some holes crudely patched and not painted. Right away we noted the uneven walls with rough patches and went to work. Of course, we removed or added as necessary the appropriate plaster to totally camouflage the holes. Then we sanded the walls for a sleek, uniform vertical surface.

We are able to computer match colors, and that’s how we achieved painting with the identical color on the walls. For good measure, we painted the trim as well with a nice, even finish. With this tall bay window, gorgeous wood flooring and period molding, this Brooklyn townhouse is once again a very inviting space to call home. The whole Bed-Stuy neighborhood has more than 8,000 pre-1900 structures which beckon city folks with touches of nostalgia and historical architecture. This client is very happy with the home’s refreshed, interior flair.

Clinton Hill Apartment Painter

Among the reasons to hire professional painters are: Skill level for high quality results and appropriate equipment, knowing which brush, roller, ladder, drop cloth, tape, spackle, scaffold, etc. As often happens, a homeowner decides to paint the interior only to quickly realize the volume of prep work, along with cutting in fine lines at ceiling and trim intersections, is overwhelming. Our Paintworks team stepped right in, sized up the job, set up our stuff and went to work the next day. The project included several accent walls, and we finished painting this living room, dining room, bathroom and kitchen in that one day. The  condo owner is now a very happy camper, ready for the holidays in a glorious, clean, professionally painted abode.
