BEFORE Removing wallpaper and painting

Wallpaper Removal and Plastering in Dobbs Ferry

Stepping into a jungle of a bathroom was a bit much for these homeowners, who called on us to move out the lions and tangled vegetation on the wallpaper for a smoother, calmer aura. Painting and lightening the dark oak wainscoting and shelves was part of the project as well.

We always begin jobs with protecting floors and surrounding fixtures and furnishings. Stripping wallpaper can be messy work, and there are several products on the market to assist with loosening the paper on the wall. Evaluating the kind of wallpaper, like vinyl or vinyl-coated, grass cloth, solid sheet or other, along with the age and time on the wall, provides the information we need to use the best product and tools for the job. Once all traces of the wallpaper are gone, there is often old glue that may require another product and some serious scraping to loosen and remove. Only then can the walls be washed, sanded and primed for the paint coats.

Painting over wood is another process in discovering what kind of oil, varnish or stain has been used and how to best deal with it to prepare the surface for paint. Sanding and priming takes place in stages before any paint is applied. Our team’s expertise kicks in early in the job, and the wow factor comes to light as the paint is smoothly applied on the trim and the walls, even in tight spaces like this. The new, radiant, neutral theme in this bathroom lends a much more tranquil spirit to the space, for which these homeowners are very grateful.

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.
