Painting older homes in the Village of Harriman
The Village of Harriman is compact, sitting at the junction where Route 17 meets the Thruway. Its housing is largely older and modest in scale — capes, ranches, two-family homes and village houses on small lots, many of them well over fifty years old.
That age profile means two things for painting. First, a high proportion of pre-1978 homes, so lead-safe work practices matter on any job that disturbs existing paint. Second, a lot of exterior wood that has been coated many times over — where the correct approach is careful scraping and feathering rather than adding yet another film over failing layers. Getting that right is why an exterior job lasts a decade instead of three years.
The interchange location also brings commercial and light industrial work — offices, service businesses and warehouse space that we handle outside operating hours.
Typical Harriman jobs
Most of what we do in the village is on the outside of older houses. Exterior painting on a cape or a two-family with decades of paint on its clapboards starts with scraping back to a sound edge, priming bare wood and replacing anything soft — and on pre-1978 houses all of that is done under lead-safe practices. The wash beforehand matters just as much on small lots where one side of the house barely sees the sun.
Inside, a lot of Harriman homes need wall repair before color: patches, cracked plaster and old nail pops are handled through drywall repair, then interior painting goes room by room. Landlords can have a unit painted between tenancies through our rental and property management painting. We also refinish kitchens with cabinet painting, stain decks and porches, and handle commercial painting for businesses near the interchange. The services overview has the rest.

Questions
Harriman painting FAQs
Yes, houses and businesses throughout the village. It's one of the closest places we work to our Highland Mills base.
Mostly because of preparation. A clapboard house with many coats of old paint can need hours of scraping, priming and wood repair before the first finish coat, and some contractors leave that out of the price. Ask every bidder to write the prep down. Our exterior cost guide and interior painting cost guide explain what drives the number.
Not the peeling areas. Loose paint gets scraped back until what remains is tight, the edges are feathered, bare wood is primed and soft wood is repaired, and only then is the house coated. Skipping that is why some exterior jobs fail within a few years. Our article on why exterior paint peels goes deeper.
Yes: general liability and workers' compensation. We'll have our insurer send you a certificate before the job begins.
Always. Much of Harriman's housing was built before 1978, and on those homes the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule governs how dust is contained, how surfaces are scraped and how the site is cleaned up. Read more in our guide to lead paint safety.
Yes. Business premises are painted outside your working hours, including evenings and weekends, so the work doesn't get in the way of your day. See our commercial painting page.
