Welcome to East Coast Pro Painting, proudly serving the residents and business owners of West Mystic, the broader town of Groton, and the beautiful Connecticut shoreline. Situated along the western bank of the Mystic River and stretching down toward Beebe Cove, West Mystic boasts an incredible maritime heritage and a stunning diversity of coastal architecture. Whether you own an 19th-century sea captain’s home, a waterfront property overlooking the marinas, or a quiet coastal cottage, our team understands the exact structural styles and intense environmental demands of this historic village.
As a locally owned and operated business headquartered right here in the community, we don’t just work in Southeastern Connecticut—we are heavily invested in preserving it. When it comes to residential and commercial painting in West Mystic, CT, you can trust our rigorous preparation standards, premium marine-grade materials, and unwavering commitment to perfection to protect your most valuable coastal asset.
“Homes in West Mystic face a relentless combination of salt air blowing in from Fishers Island Sound, river moisture, and heavy coastal winds. We don’t just paint over problems; we solve them. Our goal is to provide stunning finishes that honor the village’s rich shipbuilding history while protecting it against the harsh 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. Because West Mystic is located entirely within Groton, their deep civic ties to the town’s local government make them the ultimate local partners for your home.
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 historic West Mystic 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 right on the Mystic River and heavily exposed to the coastal weather systems of the Sound, homes in West Mystic 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 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 historic 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.
A well-maintained property speaks volumes about your business. From local marinas, boatyards, and marine service businesses to retail shops, coastal rental properties, and Homeowner Associations (HOAs) throughout West Mystic and Groton, 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 withstands the harsh marine environment.
West Mystic is steeped in deep shipbuilding history, and the beautiful 19th-century colonial and Victorian homes in the area 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 narrow coastal roads with care, and treat your property with the utmost respect.
Common questions from our West Mystic and Groton 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 and river moisture, 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 defense against moisture and UV rays. For homes situated directly on the water, we utilize specific marine-grade elastomeric 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.
