Schmidt Painting · Serving Nassau & Suffolk County
Exterior House Painting on Long Island
Long Island exteriors take a beating — sun on the South Shore, salt air off the Sound, freeze-and-thaw winters everywhere. Since 1986 Schmidt Painting has painted exteriors that hold up because the prep is done right: a proper wash first, scraping and sanding, priming bare wood, and quality coatings applied in the right conditions.
What's Included
Four decades of experience, the same supervised crew, on every kind of Long Island home.
Siding
Wood, cedar, vinyl and asbestos shingle siding, washed and painted for even, lasting coverage.
Trim, Fascia & Soffits
The details that frame the house, cut in clean and sealed against the weather.
Doors & Shutters
Front doors, garage doors and shutters finished smooth, in accent colors that pop.
Decks & Fences
Semi-transparent and solid stains, sealed against sun, rain and foot traffic.
Wash-and-Prep First
Every exterior job starts with a soft wash so paint bonds to a clean surface.
Repairs Along the Way
Caulking, glazing and carpentry repairs — from small fixes to major rot and wood replacement — handled before the paint goes on.
Common Questions
When is the best time of year to paint a house on Long Island?
Roughly April through October, when temperatures are steady and surfaces stay dry. The spring calendar fills fast — call early to lock in your spot for the season.
How long will an exterior paint job last?
With proper prep and quality coatings, 7 to 10 years is typical on Long Island. Prep is the difference — it's why we wash, scrape, sand and prime before a drop of finish paint goes on.
Do you wash the house before painting?
Always. Paint applied over dirt, chalk or mildew fails early. Every exterior job includes a soft wash before prep and paint.
