Painting Newburgh's historic and riverside homes
Newburgh sits on the Hudson at the I-84 and I-87 junction, and its housing runs from a remarkable stock of 19th-century city homes in the historic districts to mid-century residential streets, apartment buildings, and newer development in the surrounding town.
The historic housing here is beautiful and demanding. Original plaster, elaborate original woodwork, tall windows and multiple generations of paint. These are lead-safe jobs almost without exception, and they reward a crew that will hand-scrape and prime original trim rather than reaching for an aggressive shortcut that destroys the profile.
Exteriors in Newburgh also face the river. Homes on the slope toward the Hudson take more direct wind-driven weather than sheltered inland properties, and west-facing elevations get punishing late-afternoon sun. Both accelerate coating failure. A meticulous wash, full caulking of every open joint and correct priming of all bare wood are what separate an eight-year exterior from a three-year one here.
We also handle commercial and multi-family work throughout the city and the Town of Newburgh.
What Newburgh jobs involve
On the 19th-century houses in the city's historic districts, most of the effort goes into preparation: hand-scraping and priming original woodwork, repairing plaster, and working lead-safe from start to finish. That's exterior painting and interior painting at their slowest and most careful, often with trim and carpentry repair on rotted sills or casings and plaster repair inside. Those tall windows add up, too: on many of these houses the sashes, casings and sills take as long to prepare as the walls around them.
Houses on the slope toward the river need a proper wash and every open joint caulked before any coating. Landlords use our property management painting for apartment turnovers and hallways, and businesses across the city and town book commercial painting after hours. The rest is on our services page.
Booking a Newburgh estimate
Newburgh is straight up Route 32 from our shop, and as an Orange County painting contractor we treat the city as home ground rather than a long-distance job. On an older house we'll want to see every side, since the river-facing and west-facing walls usually look very different from the sheltered ones, and the written estimate treats each side according to its condition. What that prep does to the price is covered in our guide to exterior painting costs, with a matching one for interiors. Call (845) 544-3120 or contact us online.

Questions
Newburgh painting questions
Yes, both, under the 12550 ZIP code and around it. That takes in the historic districts, the residential streets and apartment buildings in the city, and the newer neighborhoods in the town.
They take the brunt of wind-driven rain, and west-facing walls also get strong late-day sun. Moisture and heat both work on paint and caulk, so those sides get the most careful washing, caulking and priming. See how long exterior paint lasts for more.
That's the aim. We scrape and sand by hand, fill and prime, and avoid aggressive stripping that rounds over the profiles. Where wood has rotted, we can make carpentry repairs before painting.
Yes. Nearly every historic house here predates 1978, so the EPA renovation rule applies whenever painted surfaces are disturbed. We contain the area, use permitted removal methods and clean up thoroughly afterward. Read our lead safety guide.
Yes — units between tenants, hallways and stairwells, and whole buildings for owners and managers. See property management painting.
Yes, with general liability and workers' compensation. We can have our insurer send you a certificate before we start.
