FLAWLESS SURFACES

Painting Contractor in NYC Built on Preparation, Not Shortcuts

Anyone can put colour on a wall; the difference shows six months later, at every patched crack that telegraphs through a rushed job. We treat painting as a preparation trade: surfaces are repaired, skim coated, sanded and primed first, so the premium paint that goes on top stays smooth long after the crew has left.

Interior, exterior and cabinet painting run under one contract, including true Level 5 skim coating for walls in critical light, sheetrock repair and drywall taping, fine trim and millwork enamel, and restoration of historic plaster. Rooms are sequenced so you can stay in your home, with dust control, full masking and a spotless cleanup.

CORE CAPABILITIES

Specialized Interior Painting & Level 5 Skim Coating Services

Engineered solutions, space optimization, and master craftsmanship delivered by licensed NYC tradesmen.

Interior Painting & Color Design

Walls, ceilings and full apartments and houses painted with premium paints in finishes matched to each room's light and use. Colour and sheen guidance included, from flat ceilings to scrubbable eggshell in family spaces — always over properly repaired and primed surfaces.

Level 5 Skim Coating

Full-surface skim coating sanded to the highest finish standard, eliminating the ridges, texture and patch-telegraphing that ruin paint in strong side-light. Essential in pre-war apartments and anywhere walls meet large windows or wall-washer lighting.

Sheetrock Repair & Drywall Taping

Cracks, dents, water-stained sections and failed plaster repaired and blended before painting — from single patches to full wall restoration in older buildings. Repair is included in our painting scopes, not referred to another contractor.

Fine Trim & Millwork Enamel

Fine trim and millwork receive the same prep-first treatment as the walls around them: preparation, repair and priming before full finish coats of premium paint. Materials are supplied and itemised in your free written estimate, with dust control, full masking and spotless cleanup throughout. Stenco paints apartments, houses and commercial spaces across NYC under one contract, room by room so you can stay in your home.

Historic Plaster Restoration

Historic plaster is repaired as part of Stenco's prep-first painting process, with crack and plaster repair, skim coating up to a true Level 5 finish where light demands it, priming and then full finish coats. Surfaces are sanded and dust-controlled before premium paint goes on, in apartments, co-ops, houses and commercial spaces across NYC. Licensed and insured, with a free written estimate itemising paint and labour.

Exterior Masonry & Siding Painting

Siding, stucco, masonry, trim and doors, prepared to sound material and coated within proper weather windows with exterior-grade systems. Curb appeal that lasts because the preparation underneath it was done honestly.

WHY CHOOSE STENCO

All Kinds of Repairs & Renovations — Interior & Exterior

Not every project is a full overhaul. Sometimes it is a leaking roof corner, damaged masonry, cracked sidewalk section, or a single room update. We treat small repair jobs with the exact same engineering care and planning as major new builds.

Multi-Trade Expertise

Masonry, roofing, concrete, framing, and interior finishes constantly overlap on NYC buildings. With multi-trade expertise under one licensed contractor, overlapping trades are coordinated seamlessly rather than passed between disconnected companies.

Planned & Structured Execution

Every project is broken into clear phases with a defined scope before tools touch your property. That structure keeps trades in the right order, prevents costly delays, and ensures you always know what milestone is happening next.

Ongoing Service & Support

Our commitment does not end when final paint dries. Our leadership stays directly reachable after completion, so whenever you need advice, warranty service, or the next phase of work, you deal with experts who already know your property.

OUR WORKFLOW

Process: How We Work

A predictable, transparent 4-stage method that eliminates surprises and delivers durable results on time.

STEP 01
01

Inspection & Diagnosis

We inspect the actual source of the problem — not just cosmetic symptoms. Tracing structural stress, substrate moisture, or layout restrictions.

STEP 02
02

Itemized Written Scope

You receive a transparent, comprehensive estimate with specified material grades, realistic schedules, and permit requirements clearly detailed.

STEP 03
03

Structured Execution

Work proceeds in logical phases with dust barriers, daily site protection, clean sweeps, and constant communication from the project manager.

STEP 04
04

Walkthrough & Warranty

A rigorous punch-list walkthrough with the owner to verify every detail, followed by municipal sign-offs and our written workmanship warranty.

CORE STANDARDS

Engineered Standards Behind Every Project

The four core principles that ensure our work outlasts harsh NYC weather and daily building wear.

Diagnosis First

We locate the exact entry point or structural stress before proposing solutions. Stains and surface cracks are symptoms — fixing the symptom without resolving the cause guarantees recurring failure.

Repair When Repair Works

We never push for unnecessary full replacements when targeted, high-integrity repairs will restore the system safely. Honest assessments save our clients tens of thousands of dollars.

Systems, Not Just Coverings

Whether roofing, tile, stucco, or paving, we treat the work as a complete engineering assembly: substrate preparation, waterproofing barriers, structural reinforcement, and correct drainage.

NYC DOB Licensed & Insured

We carry comprehensive multi-million general liability and workers' compensation coverage specifically rated for NYC. All projects adhere strictly to NYC building code and safety standards.

SERVICE FAQS

Clear Answers to Your Interior Painting & Level 5 Skim Coating Questions

Practical advice from experienced NYC licensed general contractors.

Typical planning ranges published across the NYC market run about $3–$10 per sq ft overall — Manhattan $5–$10, Brooklyn $4–$6, Queens and the Bronx $3–$5 — and a typical one-bedroom commonly lands between $1,500 and $5,000 depending on borough and preparation. Skim coating, ceiling height and trim count move the price most. Your exact figure is a free written Stenco estimate: call (718) 807-6414.

Level 5 is the highest drywall finish standard: the entire wall is skim coated and primed so no joints, patches or texture show through paint. You need it where strong side-light from windows rakes across walls, in pre-war apartments with uneven plaster, or after heavy patching. Many rooms honestly do not need it — we assess your light and walls at the estimate visit and recommend room by room.

A standard two-bedroom typically takes about 2–4 days including preparation, priming and two coats. Skim coating, extensive repairs, cabinets or multiple colours extend the schedule — heavily skim-coated projects can run 5–10 days. Room-by-room sequencing usually lets you stay in the home throughout; your written estimate includes the schedule for your scope.

We supply everything — premium paints, primers and materials — itemised in your written estimate. If you have already bought paint you love, we are happy to apply it after checking it suits the surface and finish. You choose colours and sheens; we handle quantities, tinting and delivery.

Yes, when the cabinet boxes and doors are structurally sound. We degrease, sand, prime with bonding primer and apply durable cabinet coatings for a smooth, factory-like finish. It transforms a dated kitchen for a fraction of replacement cost. If doors are warped or boxes are failing, we will say so honestly and discuss replacement through our kitchen team.

Yes — offices, retail units, lobbies, hallways and stairwells across all five boroughs and Nassau County. We schedule around business and resident hours, including evenings and weekends where needed, protect occupied spaces carefully, and issue certificates of insurance to building management before work starts.
