New York City projects carry costs that don't exist elsewhere, including hoisting, sidewalk sheds, DOB filings, union labor rates, and Local Law 97 compliance, so national averages don't work for pricing here. For painting contractors, coatings applicators, and general contractors, that makes accurate painting quantities on high-rise residential and office-to-residential conversions and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Coastal New York City exteriors need durable coating systems, and our takeoffs list preparation, primer, and finish coats separately. The area's older buildings require scraping, patching, and lead-safe practices, and our takeoffs separate preparation.
Code requirements change quantities, so our painting estimators review every New York City drawing set against the NYC Construction Codes, paying attention to VOC limits, fire-rated coatings, and lead-safe work practices. New York City costs such as DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, hoisting, and Local Law 97 upgrades are called out separately when they apply. The takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Screen Takeoff and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Contractors in New York City use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in all five boroughs, including Brooklyn and Staten Island. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and painting numbers you can defend at bid review. City-funded work in the five boroughs is priced at the NYC Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and much private work here is built with union crews. Your painting estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Share your plans and scope, and we'll send a fixed quote within an hour.
Our New York City painting estimators work across all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Citywide rules (the NYC Construction Codes, DOB NOW filings, Local Law 97, and union labor) apply everywhere, and each borough adds its own building stock, from Manhattan towers to Staten Island one- and two-family homes. For borough-specific detail, see our Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island pages.
