Interior & Exterior Painting services in Financial District
The Financial District is the oldest part of the city and now one of its newest places to live. Many office towers from the early and middle 1900s have been turned into apartments, and new condo high-rises stand among them. Converted buildings have thick masonry walls, plaster in the older parts and drywall partitions in the new layouts. Apartments tend to be compact, with high ceilings and large windows. Much of our work here is commercial: offices, shops, restaurants, lobbies and hallways, where drywall, metal frames and doors need tough, washable paint. Access is the main issue. Narrow streets, loading rules, freight elevator bookings and certificates of insurance all need sorting out before the first day. At street level, storefront paint faces wind and damp from the harbor on three sides, plus winter salt, so metal must be cleaned and primed well.

Building and landmark rules
Painting does not need a Department of Buildings permit in New York City. The South Street Seaport and Stone Street areas are city historic districts. 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.
