Here is a job where we had to remove wallpaper and skim coat the plaster walls. Usually when we see wallpaper, it means there was plaster damage that a previous owner did not want to fix, so they wallpaper the wall instead.
Wallpaper removal reveals the plaster damage, then we repair the plaster cracks and skim [...]

We were hired to paint the dining room of this Limestone in Park Slope. Here is a series of photos that show how we paint.
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 [...]
Most of our jobs are like this one.
We paint an apartment, but we also do a lot of other work that other painters don’t. We install light fixtures, install dishwashers, vanities, sinks, repair walls, caulk tubs.
Here is a 9th Street 2 bedroom apartment we painted. The couple had just bought the coop and we painted [...]
I get this call a lot.

We do a lot of Handyman and painting in Prospect Heights. Here I installed a new sink
HandymanEric installs a lot of HDTV s. Many times we will cut into the wall to hide all the wires, like this one below. Be sure to buy extra long cables if you want this done, snaking the wires thru the wall takes up a lot of wire.
With summer approaching I install many ceiling fans. One of the things we do run into in old building are gas lines that are still active in the electrical outlet. this must be capped before puttin up a ceiling fan.
