Greenpoint is Brooklyn, but from 44th Road it is one of our closest neighbors: 11th Street runs onto the Pulaski Bridge, which crosses Newtown Creek to McGuinness Boulevard, about 1.5 miles by road. It has the oldest housing on our map. More than half of homes in 11222 were built before 1940, and the Greenpoint Historic District, designated in 1982, protects brick and wood rowhouses going back to the 1850s.
Old houses mean plaster, doors that have moved with the building, and paint that may contain lead. In homes built before 1978, EPA rules treat anything past 6 square feet of disturbed paint per room as a renovation, so we keep to patches and touch-ups. Nearly a third of homes are in buildings of two to four units, so a lot of the calls are owner-landlords getting a unit ready.

Do you cross into Brooklyn?
For Greenpoint, yes. The Pulaski Bridge connects 11th Street in Long Island City to McGuinness Boulevard, so it's a short drive from our shop on 44th Road.
