Exterior Painting

Surface Prep Comes First

GCA Painting handles exterior painting for homes and buildings across NYC & Westchester. Surface prep comes first — scraping and sanding away peeling, cracked, or chalky paint, cleaning off dirt and mildew, and repairing damaged wood, siding, or trim before any paint goes on.

Weather-Resistant Paint

Primer and weather-resistant paint are then applied to seal brick, siding, trim, and doors against sun, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles — refreshing curb appeal and helping the paint job last, whether you're refreshing a tired exterior, prepping to sell, or protecting the building for another NY winter.

Weather-Dependent Scheduling

We schedule exterior work around the weather itself, since proper prep and paint adhesion both depend on dry conditions — not just around your calendar. Exterior paint generally needs a dry surface and temperatures consistently above about 50°F to cure properly, which in the NYC & Westchester climate typically means an exterior painting season running roughly spring through fall. We keep an eye on the forecast and plan around it, rather than starting a job that rain or cold could compromise partway through.
