Kate K from Greenpoint, NY

Last month, I moved into my first one bedroom apartment in Greenpoint after subletting for years. Before signing the lease I made sure the landlord would be cleaning and painting. Tribeca Painters is one of the companies he works with for his buildings, and he told me they would be doing the job. Rather than allover white, I wanted there to be an accent wall of orange in the kitchen to add some brightness. I really wanted to do something unique and claim the space as my own.

I ended up choosing Benjamin Moore Aura in "rumba orange" with a semi-gloss finish. "Festive orange" was a close second. The guys were offered advice for what would work best since the kitchen gets a lot of intense morning sunlight (southeastern exposure). For the rest of the apartment, they picked a crisp off-white color.

I moved on a Friday afternoon, and the guys were really nice about working around the move schedule. Since I moved on short notice, they weren't able to paint until after I moved my furniture in. At first I was a bit nervous some of it might get paint splashes on it. But they came with all their equipment including several drop cloths - they covered the floor and furniture meticulously so my stuff was safe. They worked quickly and efficiently, even faster than I thought they would. 

I found Tribeca Painters to be very professional and all in all a pleasure to deal with. In the end, I was really happy with the way the accent wall turned out and they also evened out several bumps and cracks in the walls. I love sitting in the kitchen with my morning coffee admiring my new wall :)
