Interior & exterior painting in New York, with finishes that hold up to New York winters and humid summers.

The NYC Painting Company paints homes and businesses across Manhattan, from Washington Heights and Harlem down to Tribeca and the Financial District. Most of our customers live in apartments: co-ops, condos, rentals and lofts. We also work in brownstones and townhouses, and for shops, offices and landlords. The services are interior and exterior painting, cabinet finishing, plaster and drywall repair, wallpaper and ceiling texture removal, and help with color. We are licensed and insured.

Manhattan housing is old, and that shapes every job. Pre-war plaster cracks, moldings carry many layers of paint, and some of those layers contain lead, so preparation takes longer than the painting itself. Outside there is little siding. There is brick, brownstone, iron and wood trim, all facing humid summers, freezing winters and sidewalk salt. Buildings add their own rules: insurance certificates, work hours, elevator bookings, and landmark review for exterior colors on protected blocks.

A job begins with a visit. We look at the walls, ceilings and trim, ask about your building's requirements and talk through colors and sheen. You receive a free written quote listing the surfaces, repairs, primer and coats. On the agreed day we protect floors and furniture, do the repairs, prime and paint, and tidy up each evening. When the last coat is dry we walk through with you, fix anything you spot and leave labeled leftover paint for touch-ups.
