Interior & Exterior Painting services in East Harlem
East Harlem, also called El Barrio, is mostly walk-up tenements from the late 1800s and early 1900s, large mid-century housing complexes and a growing number of new rental and condo buildings along the avenues. Many apartments here are rentals, so a lot of the painting is for landlords and managers between tenants, and for tenants and owners who want better than a quick white coat. The older walk-ups have plaster walls that have been patched many times, layers of glossy old paint on doors and trim, and steam pipes and radiators that need the right primer. Bathrooms without windows are common, so moisture and peeling ceilings come up often. Buildings this old are covered by the city's lead paint rules for rentals. Outside, the work is storefronts, metal doors, gates and fire escapes that rust in the damp, salty winter air.

Building and landmark rules
Painting does not need a Department of Buildings permit in New York City. Your co-op, condo or landlord may still ask for a certificate of insurance and set work hours before a painter can start.
