Why Professional Painters Are Essential During Renovations

A Guide for Westchester Homeowners

Renovating your Westchester home is a big step—one that involves countless decisions, timelines, and investments. Whether you’re updating a single room or overhauling the entire house, one thing is certain: a fresh coat of paint will play a huge role in your home’s transformation. But not all paint jobs are created equal.

At That 1 Painter Westchester, we’ve seen firsthand how much smoother and more successful a renovation can be with a professional painting team involved. The quality of your paint work is the final impression of your remodel, and that impression should be flawless.

In this blog, we’ll explain why hiring professional painters during your renovation isn’t just a smart choice, it’s an essential one. From prep work to precision, and from timing to color consulting, here’s why Westchester homeowners rely on the pros.

1. Renovation Paint Jobs Are Complex and Not DIY-Friendly

Painting during or after a renovation is nothing like painting a spare bedroom over the weekend. Renovations typically involve:

  • New or patched drywall
  • Exposed wood or trim
  • Unique finishes or wall textures
  • Tight deadlines coordinated with other trades
  • Unpredictable surprises behind walls and ceilings

In Westchester’s older homes, renovation projects often uncover uneven plaster, water stains, or outdated finishes that require specialized prep. Professional painters understand how to navigate the challenges of a job site and adapt to changing conditions, without cutting corners.

2. Coordinating with Contractors Is Crucial

Renovations require teamwork. Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and designers must work together to keep the project on track. Painting often happens toward the end of the process, but delays or miscommunications can throw everything off.

Our team at That 1 Painter Westchester knows how to:

  • Coordinate efficiently with project managers and contractors
  • Work around changing schedules and finish deadlines
  • Protect new flooring, cabinetry, and hardware
  • Return for final touch-ups once all trades are complete

When your painters work in sync with your renovation team, the whole project runs more smoothly, and you avoid last-minute repainting headaches.

3. Surface Prep Is the Foundation of Quality

Most DIYers and general contractors underestimate the importance of proper surface preparation. But in a renovation setting, it’s absolutely critical. Patches, water damage, and uneven surfaces need more than just a quick coat of paint.

Professional painters bring:

  • Industry-grade sanding, priming, and sealing tools
  • Experience working with plaster, drywall, and wood
  • Techniques to blend old and new surfaces seamlessly
  • Knowledge of which primers and coatings to use for lasting results

Westchester homes, especially historic ones, often feature original trim, textured walls, or lead-based paint that require extra care. We’re trained to handle these situations with safety and precision.

4. The Right Products for the Right Surfaces

In a renovation, every room has different demands. Kitchens and bathrooms need moisture-resistant finishes. High-traffic hallways and stairwells require durable, washable paints. Accent walls may call for specialty finishes.

That 1 Painter Westchester helps homeowners make smart choices based on:

  • Durability and wear
  • Sheen and aesthetic goals
  • VOC levels and eco-conscious options
  • Compatibility with existing finishes

We also understand the impact of the Hudson Valley’s seasonal climate, and we recommend products that resist mold, mildew, and temperature-related expansion or cracking—especially in older homes with less insulation.

5. Tools and Techniques That Deliver Superior Results

Painting might seem simple, but achieving professional-level results requires years of training and the right tools. The difference shows immediately from crisp edges and smooth finishes to clean-up and protection of surrounding surfaces.

Our pros come prepared with:

  • Sprayers for even, streak-free finishes
  • High-end rollers and brushes that reduce splatter
  • Drop cloths and masking tools to protect your floors, counters, and trim
  • Ladders and scaffolding for stairwells, vaulted ceilings, and exteriors

Even more importantly, we know how to maximize efficiency, so your renovation stays on schedule without sacrificing quality.

6. Mistakes Are Costly – Especially During Renovations

Let’s face it: a bad paint job during a remodel can set you back thousands. If paint drips on custom cabinets or new flooring, you may be paying to repair damage before moving in. Repainting walls due to poor adhesion or color mismatch wastes time and money.

When you hire professionals:

  • You’re protected by warranties and insurance
  • Your investment is handled with care
  • You avoid repainting or costly corrections
  • You gain peace of mind

That 1 Painter Westchester takes responsibility for every square foot we paint—so you don’t have to worry about do-overs or delays.

7. Paint Enhances More Than Looks

Many people think of paint as a cosmetic finish, but it serves a much bigger purpose, especially in renovated homes:

  • Sealing drywall and wood to prevent moisture intrusion
  • Protecting trim and high-use surfaces from wear and tear
  • Highlighting design features like crown molding, coffered ceilings, and wainscoting

Proper painting helps protect your home from mold and temperature-related expansion in Westchester’s humid summers and snowy winters. A quality finish does more than look good—it performs over time.

8. Get Expert Help with Color Choices and Finishes

When you’re renovating, you’re already making dozens of design decisions—from hardware and flooring to countertops and lighting. Choosing the right paint colors and sheens can quickly become overwhelming.

Our painters double as color consultants, helping you:

  • Choose shades that complement your architecture and lighting
  • Coordinate with other materials in your space
  • Avoid common pitfalls (like undertones or clashing finishes)
  • Try samples before committing

We know which palettes look timeless in colonial, craftsman, and modern farmhouse homes—so we’ll guide you toward colors that elevate your style without dating your renovation.

9. A Flawless Finish Makes the Whole Project Shine

After weeks or months of hard work, new materials, and money spent, a renovation deserves a final touch that makes it all worth it. The paint is the first thing people see when they walk in. It sets the tone for the entire space.

Professional painters don’t just aim for “good enough.” We deliver:

  • Seamless blending between old and new areas
  • Clean lines along trim, ceilings, and corners
  • Even, rich color without visible brush strokes
  • Finishes that reflect the quality of your entire renovation

At That 1 Painter Westchester, we believe your paint job should enhance—not hide—the investment you just made.

10. Local Expertise Makes a Difference

Westchester County is unique. Our homes range from historic Victorians to contemporary townhouses, and our climate demands materials that can handle both humidity and winter freeze-thaw cycles.

That 1 Painter Westchester knows:

  • Which paints resist mildew and moisture damage in damp basements or bathrooms
  • How to paint exteriors and interiors during seasonal transitions
  • How to match historic trim colors and finishes accurately
  • When to use oil-based primers on older woodwork for maximum durability

We live and work here, so we know exactly what your home needs to look great and be protected.

11. Eco-Friendly Painting for a Healthier Home

Many Westchester homeowners are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact during renovations. One of the easiest switches? Choosing eco-friendly, low-VOC paint that’s safer for your family and the environment.

At That 1 Painter Westchester, we proudly offer:

  • Zero- and low-VOC paint lines
  • Paints with antimicrobial and odor-resistant properties
  • Efficient application methods to minimize waste
  • Proper disposal of excess materials and containers

Eco-conscious painting doesn’t mean compromising on color or quality—it just means making smarter, healthier choices.

Bonus: Post-Renovation Touch-Up Services

Even with the best planning, renovation sites are messy. Other trades may scuff walls, scratch trim, or track dust through freshly painted spaces. That’s why we always recommend a final touch-up appointment once all major work is complete.

Our touch-up service includes:

  • Spot repairs on damaged surfaces
  • Clean-up of drips or debris
  • Caulking and sealing where needed
  • A final inspection walk-through with you

We’re not satisfied until your paint looks showroom-ready, and your renovation feels truly complete.
