About painting homes in Tarrytown
Tarrytown is a village in the Town of Greenburgh just south of Sleepy Hollow, about 25 miles north of Midtown. The name once covered a wider area, including what is now Sleepy Hollow and Pocantico Hills.
Streets climb from the river past older homes with clapboard, porches and decorative trim. Houses on open slopes facing the Hudson take more wind and sun, which shortens the life of exterior paint.
When a request comes in from Tarrytown, 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.
