"We used Anton and his team for remodeling our basement and garage after we had water damage. They put up replacement pieces of sheetrock which looked amazing. Absolutely no lines just perfectly level walls. Their workmanship was outstanding. The owner was on site a lot of the time and his team worked very neatly. The painting was simply outstanding. The room looks like brand new. Pricing was extremely fair especially for such quality, high end work. Anton and European Craftsman will be our only call the next time we need work done. Thank you Anton!"

We take the stress and worry out of home cleaning! Whether your home or office needs a one time deep clean up or regular maintenance cleaning, our family owned cleaning service is here to help. O'Brien's Family Cleaning Service is a premier family owned and operated cleaning service that provides top quality cleaning for your floors, upholstery, walls and fans. When you choose to call 845-416-0961, you can expect to receive excellent home cleaning services from a local business that cares.

"Do not hire these people. We hired them to clean and paint a house which we just purchased. There was a gigantic miscommunication between the work we were told they would do, and then what they actually did. At the first meeting, a very detailed list of everything was taken, and then nothing on this list was done, and we constantly had to remind them of the things they said they would do. For example, we were very clear that we wanted everything removed from the walls throughout the house before painting (a normal thing that should be done before painting), and they agreed, and then halfway through the job they send pictures, and nothing was removed from the walls. This then required them to go back and remove everything, and then touch up every spot they missed, adding several days to the overall job, and resulting in uneven paint spots on all the walls. In addition, they communicated with us that they don’t get paint on things like door hinges and windows and sent us pictures of the prior paint in places were paint shouldn’t be. Yet, when we moved in, they got paint on literally everything in the house. When I saw them painting, they did not use any painters tape or painters’ tarp throughout the whole house. We sill have paint drops on all the floors throughout the house, on the carpet, light fixtures, door knobs, etc. They even painted the windows shut in multiple rooms and painted the bathroom sealing fan shut, when they could have easily dropped the fan, and painted just the ceiling above it. I spent hours removing paint and freeing open the windows. In addition, while we were told they would clean the whole house, top to bottom, whole rooms were not cleaned, as previously agreed upon, and per the contract. In addition, the whole project was estimated to take two weeks, with the understanding that they might need another day or two if necessary. Baring a supposed family emergency, it took them a total of four weeks to complete the project. Twice the length they said it would take. In addition, the quality of work they did was just incredibly poor. With very little attention to detail or care in their work. They said they would spackle all hole and repair things, and this was barely done. The sheet rock they installed doesn’t align with the floor, walls, and electrical outlets. We were also told that they would “take care” of the whole basement, which apparently only meant painting and sheet rock, not replacing the ceiling and carpet, which we were told they would repair for us. Again, a giant miscommunication between what we were told they would do, and what they ended up doing. They also recommended someone to come and replace the baseboard heaters throughout the house. When this person came, he accidentally cut himself while working, and then proceeded to get blood all throughout the house and on the newly painted walls and newly cleaned carpets and floors. It was a complete disaster. They also informed me that this person, who they recommended, has been caught previously drinking alcohol on the job, so why they still recommended this person is beyond me. At the point they were all done, according to what they felt they needed to do, Ed said he’d come back to do a final walk through with us and give us some additional trim which Ed said he’d pick up for us and install. We gave him money for the trim, and then we never heard from him again. He has never responded to us and has since ghosted us. So just to be clear, he stole money from us. In addition, him never returning resulted in him leaving all sorts of supplies, debris, and trash inside and outside of our house, which we needed to clean up. He also left a several hundred-dollar ladder which I guess is ours now? He just left it here and never showed up again. I see some of his replies on this website, and please be aware that he might reply to lie and try to downplay all of this. But this is 100% true and accurate to the level of work that Ed and his team did. Do not work with these company under any circumstances."

I am a one stop shop for everything related to painting both indoor or exterior projects. I've been doing this since 2000, and have a wide range of expertise from detailed cabinetry to massive historic Victorian exteriors. Depending on size/scope of each project I determine whether to work alone, but also have an extensive network of professionals in a variety of trades that I bring in. These include painters of course, but also carpenters, builders, woodworkers, electricians, plumbers, etc. I am punctual, honest, and very respectful. Cleanliness is important to any interior/exterior project, and pride myself in knowing that is always top of mind. Whether it's a project suited just for me, or a crew I assemble, you can expect professional, and courteous people that enjoy what they do.

"My husband and I just moved to the area and Joe and Chris did an absolutely phenomenal job painting our house. This was the highest quality painting job we've ever gotten and will absolutely be using them again. Super friendly and personable, highly recommend."

We are a full service painting company offering high quality craftsmanship, and great attention to detail. In business since 1980, we serve Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Orange, Ulster, Sullivan, and also Fairfield County, CT. The most important step in a high quality paint job is in the preparation: plastering, taping, compounding, skim coating.... and washing surfaces prior to priming/ painting. We are experts in this area. We also do carpentry repairs, and other home improvement projects. On exteriors, we use both low, and high pressure cleaning methods to destroy mildew/mold, and remove loose, peeling paint. We use both LOW, and ZERO V.O.C.(Volatile Organic Compound) paints, and stains, which are healthier for the homeowner, and the environment. One brand is totally non-toxic, for those with chemical sensitivities. Along with my employees, I personally do the physical work on nearly all of my jobs. If there are any questions, or concerns, I am right there to answer them. I have a long list of satisfied, repeat customers, which is available upon request. We gladly offer free estimates, promptly, and in writing. Please call Bob at (914) 262-2474 to schedule an estimate..

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You should wait three to six months after you buy it to paint pressure-treated wood. It needs time to dry from the chemicals applied to it. The paint will not adhere to the treated wood as well if it’s still wet from chemicals. To test the wooden boards, drip water onto them. If the wood absorbs the water, it’s ready for painting. If the water beads up, it’s not dry enough to paint yet. You can build your deck or fence while the treated wood is still wet, but you’ll need to paint it later.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

It depends on the size of the surface. If you’re covering a large area, a paint roller will allow you to stain the entire surface in much less time. Paint rollers also offer the advantage of creating a smoother, more even coat. However, they’re not as practical for smaller surfaces such as banisters, spindles, and crevices—for these, opt for a paintbrush, paint mitt, or lint-free rag instead.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
