WELCOME TO Day One Custom Painting & Renovations

Remodeling Contractors and Painters in Harriman, NY

Harriman may be one of the smaller villages in Orange County, but the homes and businesses here deserve the same level of skilled work as anywhere else. That is what Day One Custom Painting & Renovations has offered since 1974: full-service remodeling and painting done by a local team that treats every job like it matters. We cover interior and exterior painting, kitchen and bath remodels, flooring, carpentry, and the plumbing and electrical work that ties a renovation together.


Tucked near the entrance to Harriman State Park and the busy junction of Routes 17 and 32, the village is a mix of older homes on quiet streets and commercial buildings that see steady traffic. The wooded hills that make the area beautiful also throw shade and hold moisture, which is hard on siding, decks, and trim. We know how to prep and finish exterior work so it lasts in that kind of setting, and we bring the same attention indoors.


We are not a national franchise and not a crew driving in from two counties over. We live and work in the Hudson Valley, and most of our jobs come from neighbors telling neighbors.

We take the time to properly prepare each surface, ensuring a clean, even, and polished result that you’ll love for years to come.

Remodeling in Harriman ranges from freshening up a decades-old village home to fitting out a commercial space along the busy route through town.

  • Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling
  • Flooring Installation and Replacement
  • Drywall, Trim, and Finish Carpentry

  • General Home Renovation and Repairs

  • Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling

    Kitchens and bathrooms are where remodeling budgets earn their keep, both in daily comfort and resale value. We help Harriman homeowners rethink these rooms from the studs out or with a lighter touch, depending on what makes sense for the space and the budget.


    • 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 plan the sequence carefully so the work moves in the right order and you get a room that functions as well as it looks.

  • Flooring Installation and Replacement

    The right floor stands up to a busy household and pulls the whole room together. We install and replace flooring throughout Harriman homes and commercial spaces, and we are honest about which materials will actually last where you plan to put them.


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

    Good prep underneath matters as much as the surface on top, so we never skip the subfloor work.

  • Drywall, Trim, and Finish Carpentry

    Finish carpentry is where a project stops looking like construction and starts looking done. Our crew handles the trim, molding, and built-in work that gives a room clean lines and a finished feel.


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

    Whether it is patching a wall or building custom shelving, we hold the details to a standard you can inspect up close.

  • Plumbing and Electrical Upgrades

    Bringing plumbing and electrical in-house keeps a remodel on schedule and keeps every system working together the way it should. Our licensed pros handle these upgrades as part of the larger job, not as an afterthought.


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

    Everything is done to code and folded neatly into the rest of the work.

  • General Home Renovation and Repairs

    Plenty of worthwhile projects do not fit a neat category. We take on the general repairs and improvements that make a Harriman home safer, more comfortable, and more efficient.


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

    If it is on your list and does not have an obvious label, tell us about it and we will give you a straight answer on how we can help.

Interior and Exterior Painting in Harriman, NY

Paint does more than change a color. Done right, it protects the surfaces underneath and lifts the whole look of a property. Our painters handle each step in order, from careful prep to a clean final walkthrough, using products chosen for the conditions here.


  • Interior Painting
  • Exterior Painting
  • Residential and Commercial Painting

  • Interior Painting

    From a single accent wall to a whole-house repaint, we deliver crisp lines and durable finishes, with color guidance if you want a second opinion.


    • 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 your floors and furniture, work cleanly, and leave the room ready to enjoy.

  • Exterior Painting

    This is where Harriman's setting really shapes the work. Homes tucked among the trees near the state park sit in shade and dampness that invite mildew and premature peeling if the prep and product are wrong.


    • 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, sand, and prime thoroughly, then use finishes that resist moisture and hold their color in a shaded, wooded lot.

  • Residential and Commercial Painting

    Homes, rentals, offices, and storefronts all get the same careful approach, scheduled around your life or your business hours so the disruption stays small.


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

    We show up when we say we will and leave the space clean and ready to use.
