Reviews
Baiting Hollow is a small hamlet of about seven square miles with a wide housing mix for its size. Along Sound Avenue sit older farmhouses, 19th-century homesteads, and horse-farm manager cottages, many with lath-and-plaster walls, old-growth pine floors, and original wood trim that reward meticulous prep. South of Sound Avenue, developments like Baiting Hollow Club and the homes around the Baiting Hollow Scout Camp offer newer colonials with smooth drywall, nine-foot ceilings, and open-plan great rooms where modern flat and matte finishes read beautifully under big north-facing windows. We also paint plenty of golf-course condos near the Baiting Hollow Club, where HOA color palettes and quick turnarounds between seasons are the norm.
Baiting Hollow sits on bluffs more than a hundred feet above Long Island Sound, and that elevation shapes every exterior spec we write. Northwest winter winds hit the bluff homes along Sound Shore Road and North Shore Drive without much shelter, so we use marine-grade caulk, flexible 100 percent acrylic topcoats, and tannin-blocking primer on cedar shingles. Away from the bluffs, farms and horse properties along Sound Avenue and Edwards Avenue need a different approach: old barns and farmhouses typically have raised-grain, weathered siding that calls for alkyd primer and heavy-bodied siding paint. On every exterior, we rinse salt film, treat for mildew on north walls, and schedule brushwork around the Sound's famous afternoon fog so coats cure properly.
Our Baiting Hollow work ranges from the bluff homes along North Shore Drive and Sound Shore Road, through the Baiting Hollow Club golf community, and out along Sound Avenue past vineyards and horse farms. We paint for homeowners near Scott's Country Market and the Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard, as well as owners of older farmhouses tucked back on long gravel drives. Whether the project is a cedar-shingle Sound-front, a new colonial in the Club, or a weathered barn behind a working farm, we match the prep and product to the exposure.
Homes along the bluffs sit over a hundred feet above Long Island Sound and take direct northwest winter wind with no windbreak. We use flexible 100 percent acrylic topcoats, marine-grade caulk, and tannin-blocking primer on cedar so the system can handle wind-driven rain and ice without cracking.
Yes. We work on 19th-century farmhouses, horse-farm cottages, and outbuildings along Sound Avenue and Edwards Avenue. Weathered siding needs alkyd primer and heavy-bodied siding paint to lock down raised grain. We can also match historic color schemes when the owner wants to keep period character.
Yes. The Baiting Hollow Club community has approved color palettes for exteriors and trim. We pull the current list, submit sample boards to the architectural committee if required, and keep documentation on file so your home passes HOA inspection without back-and-forth.
South-facing great rooms get hours of direct light that can fade cheap paint. We use high-quality 100 percent acrylic matte and eggshell interior lines with better pigment load, which hold color through strong summer sun off the Sound without chalking or washing out.
Yes. Salt film, pollen, and mildew all build up on bluff and farm homes. We power wash with low-pressure, mildewcide-added solution, let siding dry a full 48 hours, and then prime and paint. Power washing is included on virtually every exterior job we quote here.
