Here is a Park Slope Brooklyn brownstone where we did wallpaper removal and skim coating. The walls had old 70s era wallpaper and deep cracks in them. We are excellent at removing wallpaper, and plaster wall repair, and skim coating damaged walls. This brownstone parlor had nice built in shelves on one side, which the new owner wanted to keep, so we painted them the same color as the walls, a Ben Moore Natura No VOC Linen White. We excel at using the new green No VOC paints, and avoid regular VOC paint as much as possible.
The hardwood floors were already in good shape, so we covered the floors with tarps and rosin paper to protect them. We did some ceiling repair, then moved on to removing the wallpaper , doing plaster repair, and skim coating the walls. Whenever I look at a job, when I see wallpaper, it tells me that there is plaster damage underneath. Wallpaper seems to be a quick fix for wall damage, but I’ve seen walls that crumble from behind the wallpaper.
After removing the wallpaper, the wall has to be sealed and then plaster repairs are done, after the skim coat is applied, a light sanding happens, then several coats of primer go on before the painting of the top color. Don’t skip out on the primer, as skim coated walls suck up paint.
Here is a 2 bedroom Park Slope Coop we painted recently using N0 VOC Benjamin Moore Natura paint. The couple has a 6 month old child, so using green painting techniques was important. We are the green painters of Park Slope, so it was a perfect fit.

Here is a 2 bedroom Park Slope Coop we painted recently using N0 VOC Benjamin Moore Natura paint. The couple has a 6 month old child, so using green painting techniques was important. We are the green painters of Park Slope, so it was a perfect fit.
The Kitchen, Living Room and Hallway were painted Winter Solstice #1605, it has a nice blue mixed in with the gray, its what I call an adult color, I think it would look good with large art pieces hung on a wall.
No VOC Painting Ben Moore Winter Solstice #1605
The Master Bedroom and Bathroom are Benjamin Moore Natura Spring Meadow #486, a No-VOC paint in eggshell finish. This green is not ‘too green’ so it works well here for a bedroom. The previous color was a yellow, so we had to prime the walls to make sure the yellow color did not bleed through into the green, not something you want to have happen. Its worth spending the extra time priming most walls, the top colors bloom better, and you eliminate any chance of the old color coming through.
The nursery was first painted Lemongrass #339 with the green No VOC paint, but the client thought it was way too yellow, so we had a consult and the client went with Lemon Souffle 331, which is still yellow, but has some white in it. Another example of a green paint project by the green painters of Park Slope, Eric Paints Interiors, LLC.

Here is a job us painters did in Park Slope ( where I live ) in a 2 bedroom coop apartment. We used the green no VOC Benjamin Moore Natura paints, we were painting for some very pregnant people. They chose the Ben Moore Calm as the main color for the kitchen – living room, and it works really well. we felt calm after painting it, and the clients were very happy with the paint choices. We did put up some test patches of colors for them to look at while we prepped the rooms for painting, and they thought about it while we patched and repaired the walls and sheetrock before the paint job. The wood floors were in good shape, so no need to sand them, and the final topcoats of paint made it all look great.
The nursery was painted in a happy pink No VOC color from the Ben Moore Natura line as well. Pink colors can sometimes verge into purple, so the clients went with a brighter warmer pink for the baby’s nursery.
The master bedroom was an earth tone grey-green, a change from the white and pink of the other rooms. We painted the bathrooms Chantilly White in eggshell.
Here are some photos from a painting job we did in Prospect Heights. The client wanted an accent wall, between the kitchen and living room, and the client selected this orange red color. The photo doesn’t represent the color exactly, but they liked it, as they are Mets fans. We also painted two bedrooms, a [...]

Wallpaper removal reveals the plaster damage, then we repair the plaster cracks and skim coat the walls. The walls then have that organic plaster feel again.

Attention to detail is a big reason why people hire us. And we take great care when working in people’s homes. We cover everything with canvas or plastic tarps. It takes time, but if you don’t do the prep work, the paint job will show it.
we cover built in shelves and fireplace
rollers can splatter paint, so we cover it all
The green trim is a nice accent
