The Paint Will You Find For an Apartment Renovation
Apartment renovations often involve painting several different surfaces, each with its own requirements. Choosing the correct products can help improve the appearance, durability, and maintenance of the finished space.
Wall and Ceiling Paint
Walls and ceilings typically account for the largest painted areas in an apartment renovation. Benjamin Moore Regal Select and Aura are premium options for interior walls, while ben provides another choice for residential painting projects.
For ceilings, a dedicated ceiling paint can help provide a uniform finish and minimize the appearance of surface imperfections. The right product and sheen will depend on the room, lighting, surface condition, and desired appearance.
Cabinet, Door, and Trim Paint
Apartment renovations frequently include repainting kitchen cabinets, interior doors, baseboards, and decorative moldings.
Benjamin Moore ADVANCE is a popular waterborne alkyd coating for cabinets, doors, and trim. It provides a smooth, durable finish when applied over properly prepared surfaces.
Before painting, determine whether the existing surface requires cleaning, sanding, bonding primer, or other preparation.
Primers and Surface Preparation Products
Primers play an important role in many apartment renovations, particularly when painting repaired drywall, stained surfaces, glossy finishes, or previously unpainted materials.
Using the correct primer can improve adhesion, promote a uniform finish, and help address certain surface conditions.
At Loconsolo Paints, our team can help you choose a primer based on the material you’re painting and the condition of the existing surface.
Painting Supplies for Queens Apartment Renovations
In addition to paint, most renovation projects require a variety of preparation and application supplies. At Loconsolo Paints, customers can shop for products such as:
- Paintbrushes, rollers, and roller covers
- Painter’s tape and masking materials
- Drop cloths and floor protection
- Sandpaper and abrasives
- Spackling and patching compounds
- Caulk and sealants
- Primers and specialty coatings
- Professional painting tools and accessories
Purchasing the appropriate materials before starting can help avoid delays, especially when you’re painting several rooms or coordinating work with other contractors.
Choosing Paint Colors for a Queens Apartment
Paint colors can significantly influence how an apartment looks and feels, particularly in smaller rooms or spaces with limited natural light.
Warm whites and soft neutrals are versatile choices for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17, Pale Oak OC-20, and Classic Gray OC-23 are worth exploring for a bright, understated appearance.
For homeowners who prefer more color, muted greens, blues, and deeper accent shades can add personality to bedrooms, dining areas, and home offices. When choosing colors, consider the flooring, cabinetry, natural light, and finishes that will remain after the renovation.
Loconsolo Paints offers color matching assistance and guidance to help customers coordinate their paint selections.
Things To Know Before Painting a Co-op or Condo in Queens
If you’re renovating a co-op or condominium apartment, check your building’s rules before beginning the painting process. Some buildings require advance notice, contractor insurance, or specific procedures for protecting elevators, hallways, and shared spaces. Work-hour restrictions may also apply.
Older apartments can present additional preparation challenges, including plaster walls, existing coatings, and surfaces that require repair. For buildings constructed before 1978, disturbing old paint may create lead-dust hazards. Appropriate testing and lead-safe work practices are important when preparation involves scraping, sanding, or removing existing coatings.
Planning ahead can help keep your apartment renovation organized and avoid unnecessary delays.
Paint Supplies for Contractors and Property Managers in Queens
Professional painters, renovation contractors, and property managers often need dependable access to paint and supplies throughout a project. Whether you’re repainting a rental apartment between tenants, renovating a residential unit, or coordinating work across multiple properties, Loconsolo Paints offers Benjamin Moore coatings and professional painting materials.
