Interior & Exterior Painting services in Flatbush
Flatbush is where Brooklyn stops looking like row houses. Large parts of it, often called Victorian Flatbush, were laid out around 1900 with free-standing wood-frame houses on lawns: wide porches, columns, bay windows, clapboard and cedar shingle walls, and deep eaves. These are full exterior paint jobs, with four sides, tall gables and a great deal of trim. Wood moves with the seasons here. Winter freezes open joints, summer humidity swells boards, and south and west walls fade and crack first. Scraping, priming bare wood and caulking are most of the work, and nearly all of it falls under lead-safe rules because of the age of the houses. Along Ocean Avenue and Flatbush Avenue the housing changes to big prewar apartment buildings with plaster walls. We paint both across Flatbush.

HOA and local rules

There, changing a house's exterior colors needs a Landmarks Preservation Commission permit, while repainting in the existing colors does not.
