Local Painting & Pressure Washing Experts in Greenwich, CT

       To give some history on this neighborhood, the building is part of the Greenwich Avenue historic district. The city of Greenwich is a commuter's dream for those who work in New York City, and this has always been the case. In the 19th century, the commercial buildings were all located along Greenwich Avenue for the residents to have easy access to them. Even as modern amenities became more common, such as electricity, railroads, sidewalks, and water lines, the buildings on the intersection of Greenwich Avenue and West Putnam Avenue have not changed their facades. Buildings on West Putnam Avenue have a Tudor Revival style. It was popular in the US between 1900 and 1940, recognizable through its use of half-timbering and diamond panes. These exteriors used decorative bricks or stucco, then layered wood strips in framing or striping pattern. Heavy and decorative doors were also popular during this period.

      Noreen E.'s office is on the third floor of 6 West Putnam Ave. She called MDF Painting to update the office's interiors with blueprints as a guide. Repairs and paint were needed, as well as adding a paneled accent wall.

     Repairs were made to the office's walls, halls, and ceiling using a combination of fiberglass tape, and plaster. After these repairs dried, our painters sanded them down. The tape for the accent wall went up. Based on the blueprint, 9 rectangles were measured out. Molding pieces were installed on the wall to create the panels. Noreen requested a full coverage paint job, so MDF's painters applied 2 coats of primer to start. Then the windows, doors, and baseboard trim were painted to match the existing paint color using Benjamin Moore Advance paint products. The walls changed from an eggshell white color to light gray after 2 coats of paint. Inside the panels were painted a similar but darker shade of gray to add contrast to the accent wall. Benjamin Moore Calcimine in a flat sheen was used for these areas because it would best adhere to a plaster surface.

    Noreen's office looks exactly how she imagined after MDF Painting completed the work. The office's interior has a modern aesthetic while the exterior remains historic. It's the best of both worlds! MDF hopes this office will inspire Noreen for years to come. If you need some inspiration in your life or career, check out Noreen's life coaching business!
