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 (which is absolutely vital for the aging walls of older Stonington homes), intricate trim and wainscoting painting, high stairwell 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 coastal home.
Positioned on a peninsula reaching into the Block Island Sound, homes in Stonington face brutal exterior challenges. The combination of coastal salt spray, high winds, and heavy nor’easters can cause inferior paints to blister, chalk, and fail rapidly. Add in the freezing, icy New England winters, and unprotected exterior wood will quickly suffer from rot and peeling.
Our Stonington 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, intricate millwork, aging cedar shakes, vinyl siding, stucco, and classic exterior decking. We utilize high-build acrylics and elastomeric coatings that flex with changing temperatures and lock out corrosive salt moisture.
From the bustling restaurants and retail boutiques along Water Street to local marinas, bed and breakfasts, and Homeowner Associations (HOAs), a well-maintained commercial property is essential for attracting business in a historic town. 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 in the off-season, ensuring zero disruption to your daily operations while delivering a flawless, branded finish that impresses summer tourists and year-round locals alike.
Stonington is steeped in deep maritime history, and the beautiful colonial and Federal-style homes in the Borough 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 coastal homes without putting your family, your pets, or the local environment 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, navigate the tight, historic streets of the Borough with care, and treat your property with the utmost respect.
Common questions from our Stonington 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 relentless coastal salt spray, we exclusively use premium 100% acrylic latex paints and high-grade binding primers from industry leaders like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams. This guarantees superior color retention, elasticity to prevent cracking, and a long-lasting defense against moisture and UV rays. For homes situated directly on the water, we utilize specific marine-grade options.
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 shakes), and the weather. We provide a detailed timeline during your initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
