Common Painters services in New York
Interior Painting
Room repaints, whole-home refreshes, accent walls, and ceiling work. Professional painters prep surfaces, apply primer as needed, and deliver clean cut lines at trim and ceiling.
Exterior Painting
Exterior repaints require power washing, scraping, priming bare wood, and caulking gaps before paint is applied. Proper prep is what separates a 3-year paint job from a 10-year one.
Cabinet Refinishing
Sprayed cabinet refinishing transforms a kitchen for a fraction of replacement cost. Painters remove doors, spray in a controlled environment, and rehang with hardware.
Deck & Fence Staining
Pressure washing, sanding, and applying penetrating stain or solid color protects wood from moisture and UV. Most decks need restaining every 2โ3 years.
Lead Paint Testing & Encapsulation
Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint. Certified painters can test, encapsulate, or safely remove lead paint in compliance with EPA RRP rules.

How to hire a painter in New York
Ask what's included in prep
Prep is 80% of a good paint job. Ask specifically what surface preparation is included โ washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming. Painters who skip prep deliver short-lived results.
Specify paint brand and sheen
Agree on the paint brand, product line (e.g., Sherwin-Williams Duration vs. Super Paint), and sheen level. This belongs in the written contract.
Clarify the number of coats
Most quality interior work requires two finish coats over primer. Get the number of coats in writing โ one-coat coverage claims rarely hold up on darker colors.
Confirm protection for surfaces
Ask how floors, furniture, fixtures, and landscaping will be protected. Professional painters use drop cloths, masking tape, and plastic โ shortcuts here cost you in cleanup.
Get a touch-up policy in writing
Most painters offer a touch-up period after completion. Clarify the timeframe (usually 30โ60 days) and what's covered.
