a) Never paint stone work. Clean and point.
b) Try different tones and paint on the bottom level. Take a week and visit the work and you decide what color is best. Patience ... Think twice paint once.

Park slope and Bay Ridge for your needs... But if you have friends in Brooklyn and you can afford it PARK SLOPE is it. Cheaper options are North-east of Grand Army Plaza. Take the train to Grand Army Plaza this week-end, turn towards Manhattan and pick left or right, walk around. You will not be disappointed. Have a nice week-end.

i used to own a frame house and my architect did plans to do a mezzanine floor because you cannot add another floor to a frame.

Hi SuzettaV,

I think you're going in an excellent color direction. A medium gray with just a hint of blue could be a nice contrast with your neighbors brown. Your home is going to look smashing once you're done.

Posted by: SnarkSlope at April 20, 2009 6:21 PM in response to Request: Paint Color Suggestion

Thanks, SnarkSlope!

I'm so sad it rainted today, bc I couldn't wait to return home to throw the swatches up against the stone. Hopefully tomorrow I can start playing with paint. Btw, my favorite swatch has a hint of blue -- go figure! Thank you so much for your suggestion and feedback! :)

Posted by: SuzettaV at April 20, 2009 8:06 PM in response to Request: Paint Color Suggestion

You can also scrape away at the existing paint layers and try to see what the original color was (if you are really dedicated, you can hire a professional to do it). Of course sometimes the original color winds up being horrible or tasteless!

It is very likely that the original color was done to imitate stone, and would have matched or complemented the masonry itself. So you are quite likely headed in the right direction.

Posted by: WBer at April 20, 2009 10:46 PM in response to Request: Paint Color Suggestion

A contrasting color is always nice because it highlights the cornice. Even a gray blue, although monochromatic, would still provide a nice complement. If you find a color identical to the stone, the cornice will be less visible.

Olek Lejbzon & Co. has been restoring architectural woodwork finishes with their Eastern European craftsmen since 1950. They do a superb job, and mostly work on Landmark buildings. Their refinishing is first-rate, and they can repair or recreate any woodwork problems, from splits to gouges, worn our doors, beautiful hand-turnings, carvings, marquetry, paneling, doors and windows. They also do faux finishing. Their standards are quite high- if you can see what has been repaired, then it is not satisfactory. See their portfolio at www.oleklejbzon.com or call them at 212-243-3363, or email to peter@olekrestoration.com for inquiries.

Every dark night is followed by a bright sunny day. So, patience and attention is required and things will be fruitful in near future.

I have a 3 story frame house, and am adding on a 3 floor extension on the back. Frame houses tend to have small foot prints for the standard 100 ft. lot, my architect was able to draw up a plan in which I am effectively doubling the size while more than adhering to FAR.
Consider extending backwards and not upwards.

You don't have to obtain a Plumbing/Repair slip (LAA form) for this work, it can be listed on the new OP-128 form which is filed every month by a Licensed Plumber. As long as the original water heater was filed, you shouldn't have a problem. Good luck trying to find that information out.
