What we do.

Hylan Painters paints occupied and vacant homes across Manhattan, with clean, dust-controlled crews who protect floors and furniture. They are the go-to before a listing hits the market: patching, skim-coating and a fresh neutral finish that photographs well. Lead-safe practices on pre-1978 buildings come standard.
