About painting homes in Sleepy Hollow
Sleepy Hollow is a village in the Town of Mount Pleasant on the east bank of the Hudson. It was incorporated as North Tarrytown in 1874 and renamed in 1996. The Old Dutch Church, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and the Philipsburg Manor historic site at the mouth of the Pocantico River are all here.
The Philipse Manor neighborhood grew around the turn of the 20th century around a rail station that is now on the National Register. Older frame homes with porches and detailed trim are common across the village, and most carry paint layers from before 1978.
When a request comes in from Sleepy Hollow, we pass it to a local painter who works in that area. The painter reaches out, looks at the house and gives you a written estimate. There is no charge to ask and no obligation to hire.
Before you agree to anything, ask the contractor for a Westchester County home improvement license number and proof of insurance. On homes built before 1978, ask whether the company is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified firm. Federal rules require that for paid work that disturbs old paint.
In Westchester County, exterior painting usually happens between late spring and early fall, while interior work can be booked any time. Use the estimate form to tell us what you want painted and what you have noticed, such as peeling, soft wood or water stains.
If you can, mention when the house was built, what the siding is made of and whether there are porches, high gables or other hard-to-reach areas. Those details help the painter plan the first visit and give you a more accurate price.
