About LI Painting Pros

Kevin was born in Islip and painted his first house at 19 for a neighbor who needed a favor and a discount. That house is still standing, still the same color he put on it, and Kevin is still talking about how he had to scrape it three times before he figured out what real prep was.

He started LI Painting Pros in 2010 with one helper and a single extension ladder. Sixteen years later we’re a 10-painter operation — 6 interior, 4 exterior — working across Nassau and Suffolk. We’ve never advertised outside Long Island. Every job comes from a referral or an organic search.

Kevin is a Sherwin-Williams Preferred Contractor, a Benjamin Moore Certified Applicator, and an EPA RRP-certified lead-safe renovator. He personally walks every exterior estimate over $6,000, and he inspects every cabinet-refinishing job before it leaves the shop. When clients say “Kevin’s crew,” they mean it — these are the same painters who have been with him for 10+ years.

“80% of a great paint job is prep. Anybody can buy a gallon of Regal Select. The difference is whether you took the time to patch, sand, caulk, and prime before you opened the can. That’s the only part of this job we don’t cut.”
