You’re looking at years of protection, not just fresh paint. When we finish your Shirley home, you get weather-resistant coatings that handle Long Island’s harsh winters and humid summers without peeling or fading.
Your property value stays protected. Your neighbors notice the difference. And you stop worrying about when the next paint job is due.
Most importantly, you get the peace of mind that comes from working with licensed, insured contractors who’ve been serving Suffolk County families for nearly a decade. No surprises, no hidden costs, just quality work that stands the test of time.
Jaguar Renovations has been serving Shirley and Suffolk County homeowners since 2015. We understand the unique challenges of painting homes in this area – from the salt air that accelerates wear to the older housing stock that requires specialized preparation.
Most homes in Shirley were built between 1940-1999, and each era presents different challenges. We’ve worked on everything from post-war Cape Cods to 1970s split-levels, understanding exactly what each style needs for lasting results.
Our approach is simple: transparent communication, honest pricing, and quality work without the sales pressure. When you’re investing in your home, you deserve contractors who respect both your time and your budget.
First, we assess your home’s specific needs. Shirley’s housing stock requires different approaches – older homes need more prep work, while newer construction focuses on protection and longevity. We explain exactly what your project requires and why.
Next comes thorough preparation. This isn’t the step most contractors want to spend time on, but it’s what separates paint jobs that last two years from those that last ten. We handle everything from power washing to detailed spackling and priming.
Finally, we apply premium Benjamin Moore paints and weather-resistant coatings designed for Long Island’s climate. You get regular updates throughout the process, and we don’t consider the job complete until you’re completely satisfied with the results.

Every project uses Benjamin Moore paints and specialized coatings chosen specifically for Suffolk County’s challenging climate. These aren’t the cheapest options available, but they’re the ones that protect your investment long-term.
Shirley homeowners face unique challenges – salt air from nearby coastlines, temperature swings that stress paint systems, and humidity that can cause inferior paints to fail prematurely. We select products that handle these conditions without compromise.
You also get eco-friendly options that keep your family safe while delivering professional results. Low-VOC and zero-VOC formulations mean better indoor air quality without sacrificing durability or coverage. For families with children or anyone sensitive to chemical odors, these options provide peace of mind alongside beautiful results.
With quality Benjamin Moore paints and proper preparation, exterior paint in Shirley typically lasts 7-10 years. The key factors are surface preparation and using weather-resistant coatings designed for Long Island’s climate.
Shirley’s proximity to the coast means salt air, temperature fluctuations, and high humidity – all conditions that stress paint systems. Cheaper paints or inadequate prep work might only last 3-4 years before showing significant wear.
We use premium exterior coatings specifically formulated to resist fading, chalking, and moisture penetration. Combined with thorough surface preparation including power washing, scraping, and priming, you get maximum protection for your investment.
Benjamin Moore paints contain higher-quality pigments, binders, and additives that provide better coverage, durability, and color retention. You’ll see the difference immediately in how smoothly the paint applies and how evenly it covers.
Long-term, the difference is even more dramatic. Premium paints resist fading, chalking, and weather damage much better than budget alternatives. This means fewer touch-ups, less frequent repainting, and better protection for your home’s surfaces.
For Shirley homeowners dealing with coastal weather conditions, this quality difference becomes crucial. The extra cost upfront saves money over time by extending the life of your paint job and reducing maintenance needs.
Yes, we offer low-VOC and zero-VOC Benjamin Moore paints that provide excellent coverage and durability while maintaining healthier indoor air quality. These formulations are particularly important for bedrooms, playrooms, and other spaces where children spend significant time.
These eco-friendly options don’t compromise on quality or color selection. Benjamin Moore’s Natura line, for example, is completely zero-VOC while still offering the full range of colors and finishes you’d expect from premium paint.
The application process is also cleaner with reduced odors during painting and faster return to normal room use. Many families can sleep in freshly painted bedrooms the same night when using these advanced formulations.
Older homes in Shirley require specialized preparation techniques. Many houses built before 1978 contain lead paint, which requires certified safe removal practices. We’re trained in proper containment and disposal procedures to protect your family and comply with EPA regulations.
For homes built in the 1970s-1990s, common issues include chalky surfaces, previous paint failures, and wood damage from decades of weather exposure. We address each issue systematically – power washing, scraping loose paint, filling gaps and holes, and applying appropriate primers.
The prep work often takes longer than the actual painting, but it’s what determines whether your paint job lasts two years or ten. We don’t cut corners on preparation because we know it’s the foundation of every successful project.
Every estimate includes detailed surface preparation, premium Benjamin Moore paints, all labor, and complete cleanup. We break down exactly what work is needed so you understand what you’re paying for – no hidden costs or surprise charges.
Preparation work includes power washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, and priming as needed. We specify which surfaces need what level of prep work and why. Paint coverage includes the number of coats required for proper protection and appearance.
We also include protection for landscaping, walkways, and outdoor furniture, plus complete cleanup and disposal of materials. The estimate covers everything needed to complete your project professionally, so the final cost matches what you approved upfront.
Most interior rooms take 2-3 days including prep work and drying time between coats. Exterior projects vary significantly based on home size and condition, typically ranging from 4-8 days for complete house painting.
Weather plays a bigger role in exterior timeline since we won’t paint in rain, extreme humidity, or temperatures outside the optimal range. Shirley’s coastal location can create sudden weather changes, so we build flexibility into scheduling.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated on progress throughout the project. If weather or unexpected conditions cause delays, you’ll know immediately what’s happening and when work will resume. Communication is key to managing expectations and ensuring satisfaction.
