Interior & Exterior Painting services in Chelsea
Chelsea has three kinds of buildings side by side. There are 1800s row houses on the blocks around Ninth Avenue, big pre-war apartment complexes such as London Terrace, and former warehouses turned into lofts and galleries near the High Line. Each paints differently. Row houses have plaster walls, old wood trim and stoops with iron railings. Pre-war apartments have plaster over masonry and many coats of paint on doors and moldings. Lofts have very high ceilings, exposed brick, columns, ducts and long drywall partitions where every roller mark shows in the side light from large windows. Gallery and shop walls need clean flat white, often repainted between shows or tenants. Co-ops and condos here commonly ask for a certificate of insurance before work starts. Being close to the Hudson, exterior metal and wood face damp wind, winter freezes and summer humidity.

Building and landmark rules
Painting does not need a Department of Buildings permit in New York City. The blocks around West 20th to 22nd Streets form the Chelsea Historic District. On a landmarked building, changing an exterior color or painting bare masonry needs a permit from the Landmarks Preservation Commission first. Interior painting of an apartment does not.
