We Show Up. We Finish. We Stand Behind It.
75 years. Three generations of Gallaghers. The same family on every job. Serving Syracuse, Cortland, Springfield and all of Central New York.
Est. 1950 · Family Owned & Operated · Licensed & Insured · 5,000+ Projects
We've shown up every day since 1950.
Over 5,000 projects. Not one abandoned. Our reputation is 75 years old. We're not going anywhere.
You'll know exactly who's on your job.
We don't use subcontractors. The crew you meet at the estimate is the crew that does the work.
We'll never be the cheapest quote.
Contractors who win on price cut corners — materials, prep, insurance. We itemize everything before we touch a wall.
We warranty our work. In writing.
We've been at this address for 75 years. If something isn't right, we come back and fix it. That's not a policy — it's how a family business survives three generations.
Uncompromising Quality
Most contractors paint. We finish. That means surface evaluation, extensive prep work, proper product selection, and flawless execution. Serving Syracuse and surrounding counties.

"A coat that fails in two years costs more than one done right. We use materials rated for Central New York winters, applied the way manufacturers intend."

"The trim, the doors, the cabinets — details people notice without knowing why. This is where we separate ourselves."

Don't Take Our Word For It
Our reputation is built on what happens after the job is sold. Read real reviews from neighbors in Syracuse, Cortland, and beyond.
"I'd had two contractors ghost me mid-project in the same year. Gallagher finished four days ahead of schedule. I didn't think that was possible."
Robert M.
Syracuse · Interior Repaint
"As a single woman having work done, I was nervous about strangers in my home. They sent me names of every crew member before they arrived. Same faces every day."

Cortland · Full Interior
"Their estimate was higher than two others. They were also the only ones who found rot under the siding. The other bids would have painted right over it."
