Bedford's Local Exterior Painters Since 2003

Bedford is one of our most-frequented Westchester County service areas. The town has a remarkable concentration of historic homes — the Bedford Village historic district has colonial homes from the 1700s, and the estates on Guard Hill Road, The Hook, and Pound Ridge Road run to substantial scale with period-correct architectural detail.

Cross-state painting requires being clear on the differences: New York state has its own contractor licensing rules (we're properly registered), and Westchester County has different lead-paint protocols for pre-1978 homes. Bedford has plenty of pre-1978 homes, and we follow EPA RRP rules carefully.

From our Bethel CT office we're about 35 minutes to most Bedford addresses.

Bedford Architecture & Local Conditions

Every Bedford project starts with understanding the home's specific situation. Here's what we look for and how we address it.

Bedford architecture we paint

  • Bedford Village historic district — colonials from the 1700s
  • Bedford Hills — colonial and contemporary homes
  • Katonah-Lewisboro adjacent — country estates
  • Cross River / Pound Ridge Rd — wooded estate properties
  • Guard Hill — large estate homes

Local conditions that matter

  • Pre-1978 lead paint protocols — many Bedford homes; we follow EPA RRP rules
  • Antique clapboard — gentle prep, hand-cleaning over pressure washing
  • NY state insurance & registration — we are properly registered for NY work
  • Estate-scale projects — many Bedford homes are 4,000+ sq-ft with detailed trim

Our 6-Step Prep Protocol — Why Our Work Lasts

Paint failure isn't usually a paint problem — it's a prep problem. Here's exactly what we do on every Bedford exterior project, written into your contract.

  1. Soft-wash the entire exterior. Removes mildew, pollen, oxidation, chalking, and tree sap from siding and trim. Skipping this is the #1 reason cheap paint jobs fail.
  2. Hand-scrape every loose or failing area. Edges feathered with sanding so the new paint lays flat instead of in visible ridges.
  3. Replace any rotted wood. Trim, fascia, soffits, or siding boards with rot get replaced like-for-like. We don't paint over rot.
  4. Spot-prime every bare-wood and bare-substrate area. High-adhesion primer (oil-based on raw wood when needed) before any topcoat.
  5. Caulk every gap. Window frames, door frames, corner boards, siding-to-trim seams. Premium polyurethane sealant, not painter's caulk.
  6. Two full coats of premium paint. Brush and roller for proper film thickness. Back-brushing on rough surfaces. Premium acrylic only.

At the end, we do a written walk-through with you. Anything you flag gets touched up the same day before we call it done.
