When your painting project is done right, you get years of protection instead of touch-ups next season. You get colors that stay vibrant through Long Island’s harsh winters and humid summers. You get a home that feels refreshed without the lingering chemical smell that comes with cheap materials.
Most importantly, you get your time back. No more weekends spent scraping, priming, and repainting because the first job wasn’t done properly. No more stress about whether the work will hold up or if you’ll need to start over in a year.
Professional painting means your investment pays off. Your home looks better, feels healthier, and maintains its value while you focus on what actually matters to you.
Jaguar Renovations has been helping Islip homeowners with quality interior improvements for almost ten years. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to Long Island’s unique climate challenges.
From the salt air that can wreak havoc on exterior finishes to the humidity that tests interior paint in bathrooms and kitchens, we understand what materials and techniques actually hold up here. We’ve built our reputation on transparent communication and honest pricing—no surprise add-ons or pressure tactics.
Our approach is simple: use premium materials, do the prep work right, and treat every home like it’s our own. That’s how we’ve earned the trust of hundreds of Suffolk County families who keep coming back for their renovation needs.
First, we assess your space and discuss what you want to achieve. No generic estimates—we look at your specific surfaces, existing conditions, and help you understand what’s realistic for your timeline and budget.
Next comes the preparation work that most contractors skip. We protect your belongings, repair any surface issues, and prime properly. This step determines whether your paint job lasts two years or twenty.
Then we apply premium Benjamin Moore paints using proven techniques. We work efficiently but never rush the process. Each coat gets proper drying time, and we don’t move to the next step until the current one is perfect.
Finally, we do a thorough walkthrough with you, making sure every detail meets your expectations before considering the job complete.

Jaguar Renovations uses Benjamin Moore paints exclusively for our residential projects. These aren’t the cheapest options available, but they’re the ones that actually perform in Long Island’s challenging climate.
Benjamin Moore’s weather-resistant formulations handle everything from winter freeze-thaw cycles to summer humidity without cracking, peeling, or fading. Their low-VOC and zero-VOC options mean better indoor air quality for your family—especially important if anyone has respiratory sensitivities or chemical sensitivities.
For Islip homeowners dealing with coastal moisture, we also offer specialized coatings designed for high-humidity environments. These products resist mildew and maintain their finish even in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements where standard paints often fail. The investment in quality materials pays off in durability and long-term performance.
Most interior painting projects in Islip take 2-5 days depending on the scope and size of the space. A single room usually takes 1-2 days including prep work, while whole-house projects typically require 4-5 days.
The timeline depends heavily on the condition of your existing surfaces. Homes with wallpaper removal, significant patching, or multiple color changes need extra time for proper preparation. Weather can also affect drying times, especially during humid summer months.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed if anything changes during the project. We’d rather take an extra day to do it right than rush and compromise the quality of your investment.
Traditional paints contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that release fumes into your home’s air for weeks or even months after application. These fumes can cause headaches, dizziness, and respiratory irritation—especially problematic for children, elderly family members, or anyone with asthma.
Eco-friendly paints use low-VOC or zero-VOC formulations that dramatically reduce these emissions. Benjamin Moore’s Natura line, for example, contains zero VOCs and has virtually no odor during or after application. You can often use rooms the same day they’re painted.
The performance is just as good as traditional paints, but the health benefits are significant. Many Islip families choose eco-friendly options specifically because they want to improve their home’s indoor air quality without sacrificing durability or appearance.
Long Island’s coastal climate is tough on exterior paint. You need products specifically formulated to handle salt air, high humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and intense summer sun. Most standard paints simply aren’t designed for these conditions.
Benjamin Moore’s exterior lines include weather-resistant additives that prevent fading, cracking, and mildew growth. Their Aura exterior paint, for example, includes Color Lock technology that keeps colors vibrant even after years of UV exposure. The formulation also resists moisture penetration, which is crucial for preventing wood rot and other structural issues.
Proper surface preparation is equally important. We address any moisture issues before painting and use appropriate primers for different surface materials. This combination of quality materials and proper technique typically provides 7-10 years of protection for most Islip homes.
DIY painting seems straightforward until you’re halfway through the project. Most homeowners underestimate the time required for proper preparation, and mistakes in this phase show up immediately in the finished result.
Professional painters have the tools, experience, and techniques to handle challenging situations like high ceilings, textured walls, or tricky color transitions. We also know how to work efficiently while maintaining quality—what takes a weekend warrior several weekends can often be completed in days.
The cost difference is often smaller than expected when you factor in materials, tools, and your time. More importantly, professionals provide warranties on their work and handle any issues that arise. For most Islip homeowners, the peace of mind and guaranteed results make professional painting worth the investment.
Proper preparation determines whether your paint job looks professional and lasts for years. This starts with protecting your furniture and belongings, then addressing any surface issues like cracks, holes, or peeling paint.
Different surfaces require different prep work. Drywall might need spackling and sanding, while previously painted surfaces often require cleaning and light sanding for proper adhesion. Exterior surfaces may need power washing, scraping, and primer application.
We handle all preparation work as part of our service. We repair surface defects, apply appropriate primers, and ensure every surface is ready for paint. This attention to detail in the prep phase is what separates professional results from DIY attempts that start peeling within a year.
Quality painting costs vary based on square footage, surface conditions, and materials used, but most interior rooms range from $800-2,500 depending on size and complexity. Exterior projects typically start around $3,000 for smaller homes and can reach $8,000+ for larger properties.
The key is understanding what’s included in each estimate. Low bids often exclude necessary prep work, use inferior materials, or add surprise charges later. Quality contractors provide detailed written estimates that include all materials, labor, and preparation work.
We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees. We use premium Benjamin Moore paints and include all necessary prep work in our estimates. While we’re not the cheapest option available, our pricing reflects the quality materials and professional workmanship that ensure your investment lasts.
