You’re not just getting paint on walls. You’re getting peace of mind that comes from working with licensed painting contractors who understand Suffolk County weather patterns and use Benjamin Moore paints designed to handle Long Island’s humidity and temperature swings.
Your rooms look fresh and inviting again. Your exterior withstands another harsh winter without peeling or fading. Most importantly, you don’t have to worry about calling someone back in two years to fix shoddy work.
The difference shows in the details—properly prepped surfaces, clean lines, and a finish that actually protects your investment instead of just covering it up.
We’ve been the trusted choice for quality interior home improvements in Wheatley Heights and throughout Suffolk County for nearly ten years. We’ve built our reputation on something simple: doing what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it, for the price we quoted.
While other contractors play games with estimates or pressure you into unnecessary add-ons, we focus on transparent communication and honest service. You know exactly what you’re getting before we start, and you can count on professional craftsmanship that reflects nearly a decade of hands-on experience.
In a market flooded with weekend painters and fly-by-night operators, we maintain proper licensing and insurance because your home deserves contractors who take this work seriously.
First, we assess your project honestly—what needs attention, what doesn’t, and what timeline makes sense for your schedule. No high-pressure tactics or inflated estimates designed to create urgency.
Next comes the prep work that separates professional painting from amateur hour. Expert-level spackling, surface preparation, and protection of your furniture and floors. We use weather-resistant coatings and eco-friendly painting options when they make sense for your specific situation.
The painting itself follows proven techniques we’ve developed over nearly a decade in Suffolk County homes. Benjamin Moore paints applied with the right tools, in the right conditions, with attention to details like clean lines and consistent coverage.
Finally, thorough cleanup and a walkthrough to ensure everything meets our standards—and yours.
Ready to get started?
Your painting project includes comprehensive surface preparation, premium Benjamin Moore paints selected for Long Island’s climate, and professional application techniques that ensure lasting results. We handle both interior and exterior painting with the same attention to detail.
Wheatley Heights homes face unique challenges—salt air from nearby coastal areas, humidity that tests paint adhesion, and temperature fluctuations that cause expansion and contraction. Our weather-resistant coatings are specifically chosen to handle these conditions while maintaining their appearance year after year.
For environmentally conscious families, we offer eco-friendly painting options that reduce indoor air quality concerns without compromising durability. Every project includes proper ventilation planning and low-VOC paint selections when appropriate.
Beyond painting, our carpentry experience means we can address trim work, minor repairs, and surface issues that other painters simply paint over—ensuring your finished project looks professional and lasts longer.
Licensed painting contractors in Suffolk County must hold a Home Improvement License and maintain proper insurance coverage. Ask to see both before any work begins—legitimate contractors will provide this information without hesitation.
Check that the license number is current and matches the business name exactly. Insurance should include both liability coverage and workers’ compensation. If a contractor hesitates to provide documentation or says they’re “working on getting licensed,” find someone else.
At Jaguar Renovations, we maintain all required licensing and insurance because your protection matters as much as the quality of our work. We’re happy to provide proof of coverage before starting any project.
Benjamin Moore paints consistently outperform cheaper alternatives in Long Island’s challenging climate. The humidity, salt air, and temperature swings here demand paints formulated to expand and contract without cracking or peeling.
For exteriors, we typically recommend 100% acrylic latex paints with weather-resistant properties. These handle moisture better than oil-based options and maintain their color longer under UV exposure. Interior projects benefit from paints with good washability and moisture resistance, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.
The key isn’t just the paint brand—it’s proper surface preparation and application techniques. Even premium paint fails when applied over poorly prepped surfaces or in unsuitable weather conditions.
Quality exterior painting should last 7-10 years in Suffolk County’s climate when done properly with premium materials. Interior painting typically lasts even longer—often 10-15 years depending on traffic and maintenance.
The lifespan depends heavily on surface preparation, paint quality, and application techniques. Cheap paint or poor prep work might look acceptable initially but often fails within 2-3 years, requiring expensive repainting.
Weather-resistant coatings and proper primer application significantly extend paint life. We’ve seen our Benjamin Moore paint jobs from eight years ago still looking fresh because we don’t cut corners on materials or preparation. That’s why we can confidently stand behind our work long-term.
Professional painting costs vary based on surface condition, paint quality, and project complexity. Exterior projects typically range from $3-6 per square foot, while interior work runs $2-4 per square foot for quality contractors using premium materials.
Beware of estimates that seem unusually low—they often indicate corners being cut on materials, preparation, or labor quality. Conversely, extremely high estimates may include unnecessary services or inflated profit margins.
We provide transparent pricing that reflects fair labor costs, quality materials like Benjamin Moore paints, and proper preparation work. You’ll know exactly what’s included before we start, with no surprise charges or pressure to add expensive extras.
Yes, we offer low-VOC and zero-VOC paint options that reduce indoor air quality concerns while maintaining excellent durability and coverage. These paints are particularly important for children’s rooms, bedrooms, and homes with family members who have respiratory sensitivities.
Eco-friendly doesn’t mean compromising on quality. Modern low-VOC Benjamin Moore paints offer the same coverage, color retention, and washability as traditional formulations. They just eliminate most of the chemical odors and airborne compounds that can cause headaches or breathing issues.
We also use environmentally conscious waste management practices, properly disposing of paint containers and materials rather than taking shortcuts that harm the environment. It’s part of our commitment to responsible contracting that extends beyond just the painting itself.
Professional protection starts before we open the first paint can. We use high-quality drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and painter’s tape to protect floors, furniture, and fixtures. Lightweight furniture gets moved to protected areas, while heavier pieces are carefully covered in place.
We take extra care around hardwood floors, expensive rugs, and delicate surfaces. Our team has nearly a decade of experience working in occupied homes, so we know how to complete projects without damage to your belongings.
Cleanup is thorough and systematic. We remove all protective materials, vacuum any debris, and do a final walkthrough to ensure your home is cleaner than when we arrived. Many clients are surprised by how little disruption professional painters actually cause when they know what they’re doing.
