Fence lines and paddocks
Painted board fencing runs to serious lengths on horse properties and sits fully exposed. It needs its own cycle, separate from the house, and is routinely underestimated.

Horse country — where the fencing alone is a bigger job than most houses.
CC Fabian is a painting and home improvement contractor serving North Salem, New York, in northern Westchester County. We work across the town's horse farms, historic houses and rural properties, including Salem Center and Purdys, with interior and exterior painting, carpentry, masonry and power washing. Serving the area since 1999.
Local KnowledgeNorth Salem is the most rural corner of Westchester — horse farms, reservoir land around the Titicus, stone walls and long private roads, with a housing stock that leans old and well kept.
Work here is rarely just a house. Barns, run-in sheds and fence lines carry enormous amounts of painted surface, and they weather harder than the residence because nothing shelters them. Quoting a North Salem property properly means walking all of it, not just the building with the front door.
Painted board fencing runs to serious lengths on horse properties and sits fully exposed. It needs its own cycle, separate from the house, and is routinely underestimated.
Barns take weather from every side with no shelter, and their siding is usually older and thinner than the house. They wear faster and need earlier attention.
With open land around them, west and south walls take driven rain unbroken. Those faces need more preparation than the sheltered sides of the same building.
Dry-laid and mortared stone walls are everywhere here. Freeze-thaw works water into the joints each winter, so repointing comes round on a shorter cycle than most owners expect.

We made our reputation on interior remodeling and renovations. Walls, ceilings, floors and windows are our specialty.

Learn moreThe Town of North Salem Building Department, covering Salem Center, Purdys and the surrounding rural roads. Repainting generally requires no permit; barns, structural carpentry, decks and retaining walls usually do. Parts of the town sit in the New York City watershed, which can add requirements to work affecting drainage.
Yes, and we quote them as their own piece of work. Board fencing runs to considerable lengths, sits completely exposed, and needs a different cycle from the house. Barns weather faster than residences for the same reason. Both are easy to underestimate if nobody walks the property properly.
Yes. That means agreeing access routes and working areas with you in advance, keeping equipment and materials clear of paddocks and gates, and being careful about noise and timing near animals. It is a scheduling conversation we have at the estimate rather than an afterthought.
May through September. Coatings need surface temperatures above roughly 50°F including overnight and dry surfaces. Being rural and open, North Salem holds dew later in the morning and frost later into spring than the south of the county, so we plan around that.
It depends on how much painted surface there actually is, which on a farm property is usually far more than the house. We walk the whole property — house, barns, sheds and fence lines — measure, note what needs repair, and give you a written estimate covering scope, materials and timeline at no cost.
