Home Improvement Services in New York City
Your building’s exterior is its first impression — and in New York City, where properties are on display to thousands of passersby, that impression matters. Professional exterior painting protects your investment from the elements while dramatically improving curb appeal and property value.
GCMM Home Improvement provides professional exterior painting across all five NYC boroughs. We paint brownstones, townhouses, single-family homes, multi-family buildings, and commercial facades. Our team handles power washing, scraping, priming, caulking, and wood repair before applying premium exterior paints formulated for the Northeast climate.
From a brownstone facade in Park Slope to a Victorian in Ditmas Park to a Colonial in Staten Island, GCMM delivers exterior painting that looks exceptional and lasts. We handle scaffolding, LPC compliance where required, and work safely on buildings of every height and style.
Cost Note: NYC exterior painting costs vary significantly by borough and building type. Brownstone exteriors in Brooklyn run $8,000-$18,000. Single-family homes in Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island range from $5,000-$15,000. Multi-family buildings with scaffolding requirements can exceed $25,000.

Permits in NYC
Renovation permits in New York City are handled by the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB). Exterior painting in NYC does not typically require a DOB permit unless scaffolding is needed (which requires a DOB permit) or the property is in a Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) district. In LPC districts, exterior color changes may require approval. Buildings over 6 stories require scaffolding permits and OSHA compliance. GCMM navigates all regulatory requirements for exterior painting projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does exterior painting cost in NYC?
Exterior painting costs in NYC vary by building type and borough. Brownstone facades run $8,000-$18,000. Single-family homes range from $5,000-$15,000. Multi-family buildings start at $15,000 and can exceed $25,000 with scaffolding. All prices include prep, primer, and two coats of premium paint.
When is the best time for exterior painting in NYC?
The ideal window for exterior painting in NYC is April through October, when temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees F. Spring and early fall offer the best conditions — moderate temperatures and lower humidity. We recommend booking early spring for summer availability.
Do I need a permit for exterior painting in NYC?
Standard exterior painting does not require a DOB permit. However, scaffolding requires a DOB permit, and properties in Landmarks Preservation Commission districts may need LPC approval for color changes. GCMM handles all necessary permits and approvals.
How long does exterior house painting take in NYC?
A typical single-family home takes 5-10 days including prep. Brownstones take 7-14 days. Multi-family buildings take 2-4 weeks depending on size and scaffolding requirements. Weather delays can extend timelines during the painting season.
How often should I repaint the exterior of my NYC home?
In NYC’s climate, exterior paint typically lasts 5-8 years depending on exposure, surface material, and paint quality. South and west-facing surfaces may need repainting sooner due to sun exposure. Proper prep and premium paint extend the life of every paint job.
