Silent Paint Remover
I have a lot of paint stripping to do and I have heard good things about the Silent Paint Remover. Does anyone have one that they are done with and would like to sell. If so, please email me privately at jec344 at yahoo dot com

Tin Ceilings
If you are looking for tin ceilings for either new or replacement applications, I just found Standard Tinsmith Supply in Bushwick. They have a wide array of patterns in-stock and they were able to match the ceiling in my 75 year old building. They are located at Irving and Palmetto and their website is standardtinsmith.com.
Mover Recommendatioin
I am moving out of my co-op in Manhattan to my new apartment in a walk-up in Bushwick. Can anyone recommend a good mover that they have used recently. I need someone who is fully insured and can show up on time.
Thanks

OP here. Thanks for all the great suggestions. I will call a couple different firms to get quotes. Looking forward to my new life in Bushwick on the L train.

I had Abbingdon install a tin ceiling in my kitchen about 25 years ago. About 3 years ago I went to them for a couple of sheets of the matching tin to replace a section that was damaged from a bathroom leak. I didn't ask if they still do installations.

No, I do not think they do installations. This is really a supply house for the HVAC industry but they have a sideline in tin ceilings, cornices, etc. The stuff goes up very easily. It is basically just tacked up over the existing ceiling. I would guess most contractors or handymen could do the job.
