Brownstone & Facade Painting in NYC
Brownstone and rowhouse exteriors, window surrounds, cornices, railings, stoops and front doors. Exterior work in NYC takes the right prep and the right coatings to hold up to the weather.
Done right, start to finish
Facades take a beating from NYC weather. Paint fails first where water gets in: around window heads, sills and cornices. We look at those spots first and fix what's underneath before recoating, so the finish lasts.
Many brownstone blocks are in landmarked historic districts. If you're changing exterior colors or materials in a landmarked district, check with the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission before work starts. Ask us about it at the walkthrough.

Common questions
When is the best time to paint an exterior in NYC?
Late spring through early fall, when temperatures and humidity let coatings cure properly. We'll schedule around the weather.
Do you paint iron railings and fire escapes?
Yes. Rust is cleaned off and primed before the finish coats.
Do I need a permit?
It depends on the building and the work. Landmarked buildings may need approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission for exterior changes. We'll talk it through at the walkthrough.
