Painting & Restoration
Serving Greenport, the North Fork & Shelter Island, NY.
Interior and exterior painting and careful restoration.
Overview
What’s involved
We provide interior and exterior painting along with careful restoration of worn and weathered surfaces. Good paint work is mostly preparation, so we scrape, sand, patch, caulk, and prime before a single finish coat goes on. For restoration, we repair damaged trim, siding, and surfaces so they are sound before we refinish them. The result is a clean, durable finish that protects your home from coastal moisture and looks sharp for years, inside and out.
Is it time?
When do you need it?
Repaint when you see peeling, fading, chalking, or bare wood outside, or when interior walls are scuffed, dated, or freshly patched after a remodel. Exterior paint is also your siding's protection, so refreshing it on schedule prevents rot. Restoration makes sense when older trim or surfaces are worth saving but need repair before refinishing.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I repaint the exterior of my home?
On the coast, most exteriors need attention every five to seven years, sooner for sun- and salt-exposed sides. Good prep and quality paint extend that timeline.
Do you prep surfaces or just paint?
Thorough prep is the bulk of the job. We scrape, sand, patch, caulk, and prime so the finish coat lasts, rather than just painting over problems.
Can you repair rotted trim before painting?
Yes. We repair or replace damaged trim, siding, and woodwork as part of our restoration work so the surface is solid before we refinish it.
