Welcome to East Coast Pro Painting, proudly serving the residents and business owners of Oakdale, Montville, and the surrounding New London County area. Known for its rural charm, heavily wooded landscapes, and beautiful waterfronts near Gardner Lake and the Oxoboxo Brook, Oakdale features a unique variety of properties. Whether you own a secluded log cabin, a classic colonial, or a modern suburban build, our team understands the exact architectural styles and environmental demands of this scenic village.
As a locally owned and operated business, we don’t just work in Southeastern Connecticut—we are heavily invested in our community. When it comes to residential and commercial painting in Oakdale, CT, you can trust our rigorous preparation standards, premium materials, and unwavering commitment to perfection to protect your most valuable asset.
“Homes in Oakdale are often nestled in dense tree cover or near lakes, which means they deal with unique challenges like heavy shade moisture, mildew, and intense seasonal temperature shifts. We don’t just paint over problems; we solve them. Our goal is to provide stunning, highly durable finishes that protect your property against the New England elements.”
Tom & Pantea Umrysz, Owners
Co-owners Tom and Pantea Umrysz bring over two decades of combined experience, blending a passion for high-end craftsmanship with exceptional customer service. For a community with a strong agricultural and rural feel like Oakdale, our leadership’s background is a perfect match.
We utilize state-of-the-art equipment, eco-friendly finishes, and weather-resistant architectural coatings to ensure your property looks stunning and stands the test of time.
Transform your living spaces with our comprehensive interior painting process. A flawless interior finish is 90% preparation. Before we even open a can of paint, our team carefully protects your furniture, fine art, and flooring. We specialize in seamless drywall and plaster repair, intricate trim and wainscoting painting, vaulted ceilings, and high-end kitchen cabinet refinishing.
Because the health of your family is our top priority, we exclusively use premium, low-odor and zero-VOC paints from trusted manufacturers like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams, ensuring a safe, beautiful environment inside your Oakdale home.
Homes in Oakdale face specific exterior challenges. The heavily wooded lots common in the area often cause properties to struggle with excess shade, leading to mildew, algae, and tree sap accumulation on siding. Meanwhile, properties situated near Gardner Lake deal with elevated humidity and moisture. Combined with hot Connecticut summers and freezing, icy winters, an unprotected exterior will blister and fail rapidly.
Our exterior painters provide extensive scraping, sanding, power washing, and structural caulking before a single drop of paint is applied. We expertly service traditional wood clapboard, aging cedar shakes, vinyl siding, stucco, brick, and expansive exterior decking. We utilize high-build acrylics and elastomeric coatings that flex with changing temperatures and lock out moisture and mildew.
A well-maintained property speaks volumes about your business. From local retail shops and businesses along Route 163 to corporate offices and Homeowner Associations (HOAs), we deliver highly efficient commercial painting tailored to your operational schedule.
We routinely coordinate with business owners and facility managers to work after-hours or on weekends, ensuring zero disruption to your daily operations while delivering a flawless, highly durable branded finish.
Like much of Montville, Oakdale is home to beautiful historic properties and older New England builds. These homes require highly specialized care—especially when dealing with lead-based paints applied prior to 1978. East Coast Pro Painting is fully EPA Lead-Safe Certified (RRP). This means we have undergone rigorous federal training and are legally and safely permitted to restore older rural homes without putting your family, your pets, or your land at risk of lead dust exposure.
Our painting crew possesses decades of combined on-the-job experience and is fiercely dedicated to doing the job the right way, the first time. Our team is more than just “staff”—they are extended family. At East Coast Pro Painting, we cultivate a positive team culture that balances rigorous hard work with genuine camaraderie.
When our painters arrive at your property, you can expect a crew that is uniformed, punctual, professional, and courteous. We maintain a clean worksite daily and treat your home and your land with the utmost respect.
Common questions from our Oakdale and Montville clients about our professional painting processes.
Yes, East Coast Pro Painting is fully registered and licensed in the state of Connecticut (License #: 0648196). We carry comprehensive liability and worker’s compensation insurance to fully protect you and your property while we are on site.
To safely cover older surfaces and combat the mildew and moisture common in heavily wooded areas like Oakdale, we exclusively use premium 100% acrylic latex paints and high-grade binding primers from industry leaders. This guarantees superior color retention, elasticity to prevent cracking, and a long-lasting, mildew-resistant defense against the elements.
Most standard residential exterior repaints take between 4 to 7 days, depending on the size of the home, the extent of prep work required (such as replacing rotted trim or heavy scraping on aging cedar), and the weather. We provide a detailed timeline during your initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
