Interior & Exterior Painting services in Cos Cob
Cos Cob sits on the Mianus River between central Greenwich and Riverside, and it is one of the oldest parts of the town. Near the harbor and along Strickland Road there are older houses, some from the 1800s, with clapboard walls, painted trim and many coats of old paint. Away from the water, the streets off Cat Rock Road and around Palmer Hill have colonials, capes, split levels and ranch houses from the middle of the last century, in wood, cedar shingle or vinyl. Homes by the river and the harbor sit in damp air off the water, so mildew and peeling on shaded walls are common. A house built before 1978 may have lead in its lower layers of paint, which changes how scraping is done. Winter cold opens joints in trim, so fresh caulk is part of nearly every job here.

HOA and local rules
Cos Cob falls under the Town of Greenwich, so building permits come from the Town of Greenwich Building Inspection Division. Painting alone rarely needs one. Siding, trim or sheetrock replacement can, and it is worth asking the town whether any historic district rules apply to an older house.
