5th Avenue Coop Painting

On February 19, 2010, in Painting & Home Improvement, by admin

Here’s an apartment in a coop we painted. The kid’s room was painted really bright deep colors – kid colors – and whenever we paint a room like this we always apply a tinted primer as a base coat. This tinted primer coat keeps the bright colors from bleeding thru the topcoats we will apply [...]

Removing a Room Divider brings light into the kitchen

On January 14, 2010, in Painting & Home Improvement, by admin

The new owners of this Park Slope Co-op wanted the room divider between the living room and kitchen removed.  The kitchen was pretty dark, and why not allow some of that great sunlight from the Living Room to light it up?

Whole house water filtration system installed

On January 4, 2010, in Painting & Home Improvement, by eric

This is an install I did in CT, where many wells have sediment. This grit gets into the valves of your washing machine, sinks, shower heads, everything. The solution? Install a 5 micron sediment filter. This client also wanted a carbon filter as well. Carbon filters out taste, basically.

I used water filter units that have [...]
