EM Construction delivers professional interior and exterior painting services for residential and commercial properties throughout New York and New Jersey. Our skilled painting crews combine meticulous preparation, premium materials, and clean, efficient execution to provide finishes that look great and last for years.
Paint is more than cosmetic. A quality exterior paint system protects masonry, wood, and metal from moisture and UV degradation. A well-applied interior finish protects drywall, plaster, and trim while creating the atmosphere that makes a space feel finished and cared for. EM Construction treats every painting project — from a single room to an entire building facade — with the same attention to preparation and quality.
Interior Painting Services
Residential Interior Painting
We paint living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and all other interior spaces with precision. Our painters protect floors, furniture, and fixtures before beginning work, and clean up thoroughly upon completion. We match existing colors, apply new palettes, and accommodate any sheen level from flat to high-gloss.
Commercial Interior Painting
Office spaces, retail stores, lobbies, corridors, and common areas all benefit from fresh, well-applied paint. We schedule commercial painting projects to minimize disruption to your business operations, including evening and weekend work where required.
Ceiling Painting
Ceilings require proper preparation — repairing cracks, popping nail heads, and skim-coating imperfections — before painting to achieve a clean, uniform result. We apply flat ceiling paint in smooth or texture finishes as required.
Trim, Doors & Cabinet Painting
Properly painted trim and doors require thorough sanding, priming, and multiple topcoats of semi-gloss or satin paint for a smooth, durable finish. We also refinish and paint existing kitchen and bathroom cabinets as a cost-effective alternative to replacement.
Specialty Interior Finishes
We apply faux finishes, texture coatings, epoxy floor coatings, and other specialty interior finishes for clients seeking distinctive results.
Wallpaper Removal & Wall Preparation
Old wallpaper must be properly removed and walls repaired before painting to achieve a smooth, professional result. We handle wallpaper removal and perform all necessary wall repairs as part of our interior painting service.
Exterior Painting Services
Masonry & Brick Exterior Painting
Painting exterior masonry — brick, stucco, block, and concrete — requires the right primer and topcoat system to allow moisture vapor to pass through the wall while blocking liquid water and UV radiation. We use elastomeric and breathable masonry coatings appropriate for each substrate.
Wood Siding & Trim Painting
Wood siding and trim must be properly prepared — scraping, sanding, spot-priming, and caulking — before topcoat application to achieve adhesion and longevity. We apply exterior acrylic latex or oil-based systems as the substrate and existing coating require.
Metal Surface Painting
Fire escapes, railings, lintels, and other metal components require rust removal, rust-inhibitive primer, and a durable enamel topcoat. We follow SSPC surface preparation standards before applying coating systems to metal substrates.
Building Facade Repainting
Repainting an entire building facade gives a commercial or residential property a dramatic visual refresh. We coordinate swing stage or scaffold access, perform thorough surface preparation, and apply a complete exterior paint system for lasting results.
Deck & Porch Painting/Staining
Exterior decks and porches require coatings specifically formulated for horizontal surface exposure — foot traffic, UV radiation, and moisture from above and below. We apply solid stains, semi-transparent stains, and deck paints appropriate for each substrate and condition.
Preparation — The Key to a Lasting Finish
Proper surface preparation is what separates a paint job that lasts from one that fails in a year. Our preparation process includes:
– Pressure washing exterior surfaces to remove dirt, chalk, and mold
– Scraping and sanding all loose and failing paint
– Spot-priming bare wood, metal, and masonry
– Caulking all joints, gaps, and cracks before painting
– Filling and patching surface imperfections
– Protecting all adjacent surfaces and landscaping from paint overspray
Products We Use
We specify and apply products from leading manufacturers including Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, PPG, and Zinsser, selecting the appropriate product for each substrate, exposure condition, and performance requirement.
Our Process
1. Site Walk & Estimate — We evaluate the scope, note all surface conditions requiring special attention, and provide a detailed written estimate.
2. Scheduling — We schedule the work at a time that minimizes disruption to occupants and is appropriate for weather conditions (exterior work).
3. Preparation — Thorough surface preparation is completed before any finish coat is applied.
4. Priming — All bare surfaces and problem areas receive the appropriate primer.
5. Finish Coat Application — Topcoats are applied by brush, roller, or airless sprayer as appropriate for the surface and finish.
6. Detail Work — Cut-in work, trim, and edges are completed with precision.
7. Clean-Up & Inspection — We clean up the workspace completely and inspect the finished work with you before final sign-off.
