Interior & Exterior Painting services in Fordham
Fordham is apartment country. Five and six storey pre-war buildings line the Grand Concourse and the side streets off Fordham Road, with newer buildings mixed in. Painting here is almost all interior work: apartments, hallways, lobbies and stairwells. The walls in the older buildings are plaster, not drywall. Plaster cracks along ceilings and corners, and decades of paint build up on door frames, window trim and radiators. A good repaint deals with those cracks and loose layers first. Steam heat and small bathrooms with no fan make paint peel on ceilings, so the right primer and a moisture resistant finish matter. Almost every building here was built before 1960, which means the city presumes lead paint under the newer coats. Sanding and scraping have to be done with that in mind.

HOA and local rules
Painting on its own does not normally need a Department of Buildings permit. For apartments, the building owner, managing agent or board usually has to approve the work and may ask for proof of insurance.
