West Hills is a small upscale Town of Huntington hamlet west of Huntington Village and adjacent to West Hills County Park. Housing is dominated by larger 1970s-90s colonials, Tudors, and some newer custom builds on wooded lots. Interior painting work favors premium finish quality — substantial trim detail, high ceilings in formal rooms, extensive woodwork, and often custom cabinetry already in place. We spec Benjamin Moore Aura on walls, Advance on trim. Full interior repaints on a West Hills home run 5-8 days. Larger West Hills estate homes have 20-foot foyers and open stairwells requiring scaffolding setups for safe cutting-in. We bring the crew sizing and equipment for larger projects. Mold-resistant finishes handle any bath humidity on wooded-lot homes.
West Hills exteriors are predominantly brick-and-clapboard colonials, Tudors with half-timber accents, and stucco combinations. The surrounding park setting means heavy tree canopy and shaded elevations prone to mildew — soft wash before prep is critical. Standard prep then: scrape, feather, spot-prime, caulk, two coats of premium 100% acrylic. Several miles inland from Long Island Sound means modest salt exposure and 8-10 year paint life with proper prep. Deck staining, pergolas, and fencing pair with exterior cycles. We also handle multi-structure estate properties — carriage houses, pool houses, pergolas, fencing, and gatehouses — with coordinated multi-structure cycles and consistent palette. Historic preservation and architect coordination are both common on larger West Hills properties.
West Hills sits west of Huntington Village along Chichester Road and Sweet Hollow Road, adjacent to West Hills County Park and the Walt Whitman Trail. The hamlet is predominantly upscale residential with the Half Hollow Hills Central School District serving most families. The Walt Whitman Birthplace in Huntington Station is nearby.
