Exterior paint in Poughkeepsie
The Poughkeepsie metro is really two housing markets when it comes to paint. Across the whole metro, half the homes were built in 1974 or later, and about one in five dates from 2000 or after. In the city of Poughkeepsie, it flips: more than four in five homes went up before 1980.
Lead comes with age. The federal renovation rule covers homes built before 1978, and the crew you hire to scrape that paint must be certified.
A newer house usually means a recoat. The paint is often sound, the siding is straight, and the work is washing, a little caulk, and two coats.
An old city house is another job. Decades of layers crack and lift, bare wood shows through on the sunny side, and the trim is where the work piles up.
So pick the project that fits. "Repaint the whole house" suits the first kind. The option for peeling or bare wood suits the second, because on a house like that the prep is most of the work.
