Katonah — the historic village center, the wooded estates along Cherry Street and Cantitoe Street, the country homes throughout the hamlet. We've painted Katonah homes for 20+ years, including a lot of cedar shake restoration and historic colonial preservation work.
Katonah has one of the most well-preserved 19th-century village centers in Westchester County. The village historic district has homes from the late 1800s that were carefully relocated when the Cross River Reservoir was built — and they've been maintained meticulously since. Outside the village, the country estates along Cherry Street, Cantitoe Street, and the wooded properties toward Bedford Hills offer substantial scale with detailed period architecture.
Our crew comes over from Bethel CT, about a 30-minute drive. We're EPA RRP certified for pre-1978 homes (and most Katonah village homes qualify), and we're properly registered for New York state work.
