Interior & Exterior Painting services in City Island
City Island is a small island in Long Island Sound, and it looks more like a New England harbour town than the rest of the Bronx. Wood frame houses with clapboard and cedar shingles line the short streets that run off City Island Avenue down to the water. Some are well over a century old, with porches, turned posts and trim that takes time to prep. Salt air and wind are the main enemies of paint here. Salt holds moisture on the surface, wears the finish and rusts nails and railings. The side that faces the water needs repainting sooner than the lee side. Decks, docks, fences and porches need regular stain or paint. We wash off salt first, let the wood dry, spot prime and use coatings rated for coastal exposure.

HOA and local rules
Painting on its own does not normally need a Department of Buildings permit. A few buildings on the island are individual city landmarks. If yours is one, the Landmarks Preservation Commission must approve a change of exterior color.
