Before Hiring a Painting Pro in Katonah
Use this checklist to vet contractors before signing a contract.
Ask whether they are EPA Lead-Safe Certified (RRP rule) for homes built before 1978
Federal law requires lead-safe practices when disturbing paint in pre-1978 homes. Non-certified contractors face fines up to $37,500/day.
Request the specific paint brand and product line they will use
There is a huge difference between contractor-grade paint and premium lines (Benjamin Moore Regal, Sherwin-Williams Duration). Get it in the contract.
Confirm their prep process — scraping, sanding, priming, caulking
80% of a paint job's longevity comes from surface preparation. Painters who skip prep deliver a job that peels within 2-3 years.
Ask how many coats are included and whether primer is separate
A quality job includes a coat of primer plus two finish coats. Some contractors bid one coat knowing it will look thin.
Verify Home Improvement Contractor license with your municipality
New York counties require Home Improvement Contractor registration. Check with your local clerk's office or building department.
Confirm general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage
Ask for a certificate of insurance (COI) naming you as additionally insured. Workers' comp protects you if a worker is injured on your property.
Get 2-3 written estimates that itemize labor, materials, and timeline
Lump-sum quotes hide details. Itemized estimates let you compare apples to apples and catch hidden costs.
Check permit requirements with Town of Bedford Building Department ((914) 666-8040)
Katonah is a hamlet within the Town of Bedford. Contact Bedford town hall for permit requirements.
Ask for 3 recent local references and actually call them
Ask references specifically: Did the job finish on time and on budget? Were there surprises? Would you hire them again?

Best Time to Hire a Painting Pro in New York
Seasonal timing guide for the Northeast (CT/NY metro area).
Interior painting is ideal while windows are open for ventilation. Exterior work starts in late April/May once nights stay above 50°F consistently.
Best exterior painting conditions but highest demand. Avoid painting in direct afternoon sun — it causes bubbling. Morning and evening application is ideal.
Early fall (Sep-Oct) is excellent for exteriors — moderate temps and low humidity. After mid-November, exterior painting is risky due to overnight lows below 35°F.
Interior painting only. Painters are less busy and may offer discounts. Low humidity in heated homes helps paint cure faster. No exterior work is possible.
