Interior and Exterior Painting

Paint fails from the surface up, so almost all of the value in a paint job is in the preparation nobody sees. We paint interiors and exteriors for houses and multi-family buildings: scraping, filling, sanding, priming and cutting in properly, then applying coats that hold up. On exterior work in New York City that also means dealing with what the weather has already done to the surface.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Best Valana

Prep Is the Job

Scraping, filling, sanding, caulking and priming. Paint over a poor surface and it comes off in a season.

Protected and Clean

Floors, fixtures and furniture covered before a can is opened, and the site cleaned at the end of every day.

Repairs First

Cracked plaster, damaged drywall and rotted trim get repaired before painting rather than being painted over.

Exterior at Height

Facades, cornices, fire escapes and rear elevations, worked from scaffold or ladder as the elevation requires.
