Brooklyn Commercial Fireproofing

As part of one of the largest event venues in the country, Brooklyn Mirage is an innovative outdoor setting which can accommodate upwards of 2,500 people. It borders Williamsburg and Bushwick neighborhoods and is a very impressive open-air sanctuary-like space in the center of the Avant Gardner complex. Audio-visual technology is state-of-the-art. Natural plants enhance the park aura, and the catwalk provides views of the cityscape above and paradise courtyard below.

We were called in to manage and apply the fireproofing, thereby assuring that burning up the dance floor would be the only and figuratively burning occurring. Calculating ratios before spraying and brushing was but one of several meticulous tasks. From the correct fireproof products, tools and personal gear to the long handles and forklift scaffold machine, the prep for a job like this is enormous. Our tradesmen are well-trained and experienced, which you have to be to undertake any fireproofing job.

Stunning Nike display with freshly painted backdrop

Fifth Avenue Retail Painters

 Nike was founded in 1964 and sold 1,300 pairs of Japanese running shoes that year for $8,000. Revenues in 2020 topped $37 billion worldwide. Bednark has been in the full-service fabrication business for 15 years, designing, building and installing state-of-the-art transformational consumer experiences in display creativity. Everything Bednark crafts is made in the U.S.A. out of their cutting edge, 65,000-square-foot facility right here in New York City at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

 Teaming up with these impressive companies was a wonderful opportunity to showcase our expertise and professional approach to everything paint and renovation-related. We connected with the Bednark folks on removing and putting back up the display components. What a class act they are. And so are we. Our crew examined every square inch of the black walls, patching and smoothing them for brightening from basic black to brilliant white. Painting from a dark color to a much lighter one entails more than one coat, which must be brushed, rolled and finished with the touch of a few professional tradesmen who know all about texture, consistency and expert application. We liked being part of an expert trio composed of Nike, Bednark and Paintworks. It’s not the first time we’ve rubbed elbows with such stellar companies, and it won’t be the last.

NYC Office Building Lobby Painting

Going Up? Going Down? Are we talking about the same thing? The elevator or the paint roller? With many employees working from home, this is the ideal time to have office interiors cleaned, renovated as needed and freshly painted. Then when employees find their way back to the office scene, they’ll be happy and productive. Numerous studies have demonstrated that a clean, well-maintained work environment contributes positively to mental acuity, personal energy and a more cheerful attitude.

Our team rolled in with all the equipment, supplies and fresh paint to cover the walls and trim, and the ever-sliding elevator doors. Different primers and specific paints are required for drywall surfaces, trim materials and metal elevator doors. We used all appropriate products with a semi-gloss finish for easy upkeep. So whether you are going up or going down on the elevator, everyone will be impressed that we have already rolled up and rolled down for the fresh, clean appearance of this elevator lobby and the office hallways.   

The Very Nice End Result

The Somewhat Rough Starting Point

Brooklyn Exterior Rooftop Stucco Application

Paint, primer and surfaces like stucco are not only about appearance, but also address care and maintenance of underlying materials. Here one conscientious property manager in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn called us to finish an incomplete stucco job on a rooftop above, below and between these likely HVAC louvered doors. It looks more like a working space than a relaxing terrace, so while it might only be seen by birds and service technicians, they wanted it finished and done right – for both aesthetics and a protective barrier against the elements.

 We hauled up scaffolding, ladders and all the gear and supplies to clean the surface and apply a bonding agent so new stucco would strongly adhere to the surface. Matching the stucco was the next order of business, and once applied, the entire space was painted in a medium, neutral gray. Our professional crew diligently focused on the tasks at hand and not on the somewhat delightful view and opportunity to work outside under Big Apple blue skies and sunshine.

“Every bottle’s got a story here” at Pour Wines. On the corner of W. 75th Street and Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the business is approaching 15 years of its value-driven, intuitive wine mission. The knowledgeable staff curates small production, hand-crafted wines and spirits and understands making wine selection easy and enjoyable ~ and affordable. In its ongoing efforts to maintain a radiant, winsome atmosphere for the casual browser and buyer, they called us to brighten up their space. Overnight, by the way.

 With no disruption to customers or employees, our Paintworks team landed after store closing. We began right away protecting all the displays and especially all those bottles, every one of which pairs eloquently with some kind of delicious food offering. And just as many make a wonderful, stand-alone glass. But, this is about paint, not wine, and we confidently believe every paint can has a story, too. We love their color selection, and when the job was done before next day’s opening, we packed up, knowing full well it was too early for wine, so we all admired the fresh paint and inviting, attractive Pour Wines shop.
