WELCOME TO Day One Custom Painting & Renovations

Remodeling Contractors and Painters in Goshen, NY

Cornwall sits where the Hudson River meets the base of Storm King Mountain, and that setting shapes almost everything about the place. It is a town of scenic river views, wooded hillsides, and a mix of gracious older homes, established neighborhoods, and properties that back right up to protected mountain land. Homes here face river damp, mountain shade, and real elevation changes, all of which ask more of a contractor than a flat suburban lot. Day One Custom Painting & Renovations has met that challenge across Orange County since 1974, handling painting, kitchen and bath remodels, flooring, carpentry, and the plumbing and electrical work behind a full renovation.


The town spans a range, from Cornwall-on-Hudson near the water to the more wooded stretches inland, and the homes vary just as much. Some are handsome older houses with detail worth preserving; others are newer builds tucked into the hills. We adjust to each, reading the property and its exposure before we ever pick up a brush or swing a hammer.


We are a local, owner-run company, not a franchise. In a town that takes real pride in its setting and its homes, that hands-on accountability is what keeps our customers calling us back.

Residential and Commercial Remodeling in Cornwall, NY

A Cornwall remodel might mean opening a home to its river or mountain views, or updating an older house while keeping its character intact. Whatever the goal, we run the full project in-house, so every stage answers to one accountable team.


  • Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling
  • Flooring Installation and Replacement
  • Drywall, Trim, and Finish Carpentry
  • Plumbing and Electrical Upgrades
  • General Home Renovation and Repairs

  • Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling

    In a town where views matter, we often rework kitchens and baths to make better use of light and outlook, along with the everyday function these rooms demand. Full gut or focused refresh, we plan it around how you live.


    • Custom cabinetry and smarter layouts
    • New countertops and backsplash installation
    • Updated fixtures and improved lighting
    • Tile work, flooring, and moisture protection
    • Full bathroom gut renovations or small-space reworks

    We sequence the work so each stage sets up the next and the finished room earns its place in the home.

  • Flooring Installation and Replacement

    From original hardwood in older Cornwall homes to durable modern options for busy households, we install and replace flooring throughout the town, with honest advice on what suits your space.


    • Hardwood and engineered wood
    • Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and tile
    • Ceramic, porcelain, and laminate
    • Old flooring removal and subfloor prep
    • Trim and threshold finishing

    Proper subfloor prep is part of every job, because a good floor depends on a sound base, especially in older hillside homes.

  • Drywall, Trim, and Finish Carpentry

    The finish work is what makes a room feel truly done. Our crew handles trim, molding, and built-ins that bring clean lines to both period homes and newer builds.


    • Drywall hanging, patching, and repair
    • Crown molding, baseboards, and window trim
    • Custom shelving, built-ins, and decorative millwork
    • Interior door and casing updates

    Whether we are repairing existing detail or adding new, the result stands up to close inspection.

  • Plumbing and Electrical Upgrades

    Handling plumbing and electrical in-house keeps a remodel efficient and safe, and it matters more on older or hillside homes where systems may need real updating. Our licensed pros fold it into the larger job.


    • Lighting design and fixture upgrades
    • Electrical panel improvements and new outlets
    • Plumbing for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms
    • Code-compliant, energy-saving updates

    Everything meets code and integrates cleanly with the rest of the work.

  • General Home Renovation and Repairs

    Keeping a Cornwall home comfortable through river damp and mountain winters involves plenty of work that does not fit a single category. We take those projects on too.


    • Layout changes and reconfigurations
    • Closet and storage improvements
    • Attic and basement refinishing
    • Insulation, ventilation, and energy upgrades

    Tell us what is on your list, and we will give you a straight answer on how we can help.

Interior and Exterior Painting in Cornwall, NY

Between river moisture and mountain shade, Cornwall is tough on exterior finishes, which makes prep and product choice everything. We handle each step in order and choose coatings for the conditions your home actually faces.


  • Interior Painting
  • Exterior Painting
  • Residential and Commercial Painting

  • Interior Painting

    From a single room to a full interior repaint, we bring crisp lines and lasting finishes, with color guidance to suit the light in homes that often have big views and big windows.


    • Walls, ceilings, and trim
    • Cabinet and built-in refinishing
    • Basement painting and concrete sealing
    • Drywall prep, patching, and priming
    • Low-VOC and premium paint options available

    We protect floors and furnishings, work cleanly, and hand the room back ready to enjoy.

  • Exterior Painting

    This is where Cornwall's setting is unforgiving. Homes near the Hudson take on river damp, and those tucked against Storm King and the wooded hills sit in shade that holds moisture and invites mildew. Rushed prep fails fast here.


    • Wood, vinyl, fiber cement, and metal siding
    • Shutters, window trim, and entryways
    • Fences, decks, and porches
    • Power washing, sanding, and priming
    • Weather-resistant finishes for long-term protection

    We wash, scrape, sand, and prime thoroughly, then finish with mildew-resistant coatings built to hold their color in damp, shaded conditions.

  • Residential and Commercial Painting

    Homes, rentals, offices, and storefronts across Cornwall and Cornwall-on-Hudson get the same disciplined approach, scheduled to keep disruption low.


    • Tenant-ready units and investment properties
    • Office interiors and retail storefronts
    • High-traffic, high-visibility areas
    • Brand-consistent color coordination

    We show up on time and leave a clean, finished space.
