Professional Condo Painting Contractor

The GALERIE slogan is: “Home is Where the Art Is.” The galerielic.com website [for GALERIE Long Island City] promotes its new condo homes as “sleek and spacious, with open designs and intuitive flow. The interior design of the residences is timelessly modern, with clean lines and a neutral palette where the only remaining strokes of genius are to be applied by you.” That “you” refers to new residents, and one family took it seriously. Their stroke of genius began with calling us to paint their entire 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo. So, we did.

 It is a beautiful space with natural daylight, contemporary vibes and state-of-the-art materials. This master bedroom took on a coat of Benjamin Moore’s Balboa Mist, one of the sophisticated paints in the Off-White Color Collection. When the family is not hanging loose in its comfortable, freshly painted living spaces and bedrooms, they might be found relaxing in the sculpture garden, lounge or rooftop deck; working in the provided workspace; swimming in the pool; supervising kids in the playroom; or breaking a sweat and keeping in shape in the fitness center ~ all GALERIE on-site amenities. It’s an impressive place, moreso, we like to think, with our professional painting team plying their craft in these stellar condos.

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.

Painting a Classic 6 Manhattan Apartment

Painting a Classic 6 Manhattan apartment imparts a sense of reverence for these captivating homes. Constructed in the 1915 to 1930 timeline in New York City’s growth, pre-war buildings are mostly mid-rise structures erected with high quality steel and fine masonry materials. Thus, they are a classic component of the city’s heritage. The number 6 refers to their six rooms, specifically, a living room, formal dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a maid’s small bedroom and bath, separate from the family’s full bathroom.

 One new homeowner wanted everything freshly painted before moving in, and we addressed the specifics, which sometimes involves copies of our business license, insurance, special approvals, etc. The dining room was smoothly coated with Bar Harbor Beige, one of Benjamin Moore’s Classic Color Collection paints. The maid’s room and other spaces took on the paint Mayonnaise OC-85. Both neutrals framed with white satin painted trim offer a sophisticated presence for showcasing furnishings, fabrics and art pieces. Now the interior of this co-op apartment definitely exudes the refined stature of the entire building.

Painting Company for New Brooklyn Homeowners 

Moving is exciting, filled with the anticipation of creating a new home nest. And the best time to mend wall, floor and ceiling damage and add your own color scheme is before the first piece of furniture crosses the threshold. One couple who recently purchased a home in a Flatbush Co-op in Brooklyn recognized that and acted on it – calling on us to make it happen. There’s paperwork, repair work and prep work involved, and we are experienced in helping new homeowners navigate the process.

 Their vision included smooth walls in lighter colors with a charming dusty rose upon entering, complemented with a pale neutral living room and rich hunter green in a study space. An odd gold part-wall, dull living room wall and old dark blue in the bedroom did not harmonize one iota with their dream of brighter walls to showcase their interior décor and the handsome wood floors. Covering dark colors can be a challenge, but we know precisely how to smooth and coat dingy, aged walls with premium primers and interior paint. By the time we were finished completely sprucing up this place, we kind of wanted to move in.

New Homeowner Painter Manhattan

John Street runs from FDR Drive and the East River near the historic waterfront district to Water Street a block from the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. John Street Church, founded in 1766, is the oldest continuous Methodist congregation in the country. Financial district offices share this historical slice of the Big Apple with eateries, cool condos and a variety of businesses. The family leaving Brooklyn behind and relocating into the Financial District, affectionally dubbed FiDi, wanted everything in their new home to be fresh and beautiful.

There are rules and regulations for painting in many Manhattan buildings, and we are familiar with all of it, organizing paperwork, sharing our business license and qualifications as required. When we secure all the approval necessary, we get the key and tote in our drop cloths, tape and protective gear, paint, brushes, rollers, ladders, scaffolding, a few of those wood stick stirrers and do what we do best --- paint. The Simply White color by Benjamin Moore is a perennial fave for being clean and crisp evoking goodness, precision and peace. Welcome home, family!
