WELCOME TO Day One Custom Painting & Renovations

Remodeling Contractors and Painters in Wappingers Falls, NY

The waterfall that gives Wappingers Falls its name once powered the mills that built this village. Today the old mill buildings, the tight downtown streets, and the neighborhoods that grew up around them make for a place with real history in its bones, and homes that often need a contractor who respects that. Day One Custom Painting & Renovations has been that contractor across Dutchess County since 1974, handling everything from interior and exterior painting to full kitchen and bath remodels, flooring, carpentry, and the plumbing and electrical work behind it all.


This is a busy corner of the county, close to schools, shopping along Route 9, and a steady flow of families settling in. That mix means we work on century-old village houses one week and newer builds the next, and we adjust our approach to fit whichever we are standing in. Older homes hide quirks behind their walls; newer ones just want a clean, professional finish. We are comfortable with both.


We are locally owned, not a franchise, and not a crew from out of the area. The work we do in Wappingers Falls is the work our reputation rides on, so we do it right.

Low-VOC and eco-friendly paint options for a safer home environment

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

Why Choose Day One Custom Painting & Renovations in Wappingers Falls, NY?

That is what five decades in one region gives you.

  • Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling

    In older Wappingers Falls homes, kitchens and baths are often the rooms most overdue for change, cramped layouts, dated fixtures, tile that has seen better days. We rework these spaces to fit how you actually live, whether that calls for a full gut or a smart refresh.


    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 holds up to daily use.

    • 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

    Original floors in older homes are worth saving when we can, and worth replacing cleanly when we cannot. We handle both across Wappingers Falls, and we will tell you honestly which path makes sense for 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

    The subfloor gets proper attention every time, because a beautiful floor over a bad base does not last.

  • Drywall, Trim, and Finish Carpentry

    Matching new trim to a home built in another era takes a careful eye, and that is exactly the kind of finish work our crew does well. We tie old and new together so the result looks intentional, not patched.


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

    From a single repaired wall to full custom millwork, the details hold up to close inspection.

  • Plumbing and Electrical Upgrades

    Older homes often need their plumbing and wiring brought up to date during a remodel, and doing it as part of the same project saves time and money. Our licensed pros handle it in step with everything else.


    • 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 renovation.

  • General Home Renovation and Repairs

    Not every job is a headline remodel. Plenty of what keeps an older Wappingers Falls home comfortable and sound falls under general repairs and improvements, and we take those on too.


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

    Bring us the odd project that does not fit a category, and we will tell you plainly how we can help.

Interior and Exterior Painting in Harriman, NY

Paint is protection first and appearance a close second, especially on older homes where the surfaces underneath need care. We handle every step in order, prep, priming, and finish, with products matched to the job in front of us.


  • Interior Painting
  • Exterior Painting
  • Residential and Commercial Painting

  • Interior Painting

    Older interiors often mean plaster, uneven walls, and layers of past paint, all of which need proper prep before a new coat goes on. We do that groundwork so the finish looks smooth and lasts.


    • 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 cover and protect everything, work tidily, and hand the room back ready to use.

  • Exterior Painting

    The creek and the changing Hudson Valley seasons keep moisture in the air here, and moisture is the enemy of exterior paint. On the village's older wood-sided homes especially, prep is what separates a paint job that lasts from one that peels in two years.


    • 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 before we paint, then finish with coatings built to shrug off damp and temperature swings.

  • Residential and Commercial Painting

    Homes, rental units, offices, and downtown storefronts all get the same steady approach, scheduled around your routine so the interruption stays minimal.


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

    We arrive when promised and leave the space clean and ready.
