Known for its classic New England charm, the beautiful Tolland Green Historic District, and expansive, heavily wooded residential neighborhoods, Tolland features a wonderful diversity of architecture. Whether you own a 19th-century colonial near the Green, a modern estate tucked into the woods off Route 195, or a farmhouse overlooking Shenipsit Lake, our team understands the exact structural styles and environmental demands of this scenic town.
As a locally owned and operated business, we don’t just work in Connecticut—we are deeply rooted here. When it comes to residential and commercial painting in Tolland, CT, you can trust our rigorous preparation standards, premium materials, and unwavering commitment to perfection to protect your most valuable asset.
“Tolland homes are frequently surrounded by beautiful, dense tree canopies, which means they deal with heavy shade moisture, mildew, and harsh inland winter freezes. We don’t just paint over problems; we solve them. Our goal is to provide stunning finishes that honor the town’s history while protecting it against the harsh New England climate.”
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 town like Tolland, our leadership’s background is the perfect hometown 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 (which is critical for the aging walls of historic colonials), intricate trim and wainscoting painting, high 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 Tolland home.
Homes in Tolland 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. Combined with hot, humid Connecticut summers and brutal inland freezing during the winter, 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.
A well-maintained property speaks volumes about your business. From local retail shops near the I-84 corridor to corporate offices, agricultural buildings, 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.
Tolland is defined by its deep history, particularly within the Tolland Green Historic District. These beautiful 18th and 19th-century colonial 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 village 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 and treat your home and your land with the utmost respect.
Common questions from our Tolland County 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 wooded areas like Tolland, 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, 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 wood), and the weather. We provide a detailed timeline during your initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
