Reviews
Interior painting in Springs is quieter work than down in East Hampton Village but just as technical. Springs is the artists' hamlet — Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner lived and worked on Springs-Fireplace Road, and the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center is now a National Historic Landmark. Residents here are called Bonackers, after Accabonac Harbor, and the housing stock reflects a mix of generational Bonacker farmhouses, mid-century modernist studios, and newer homes north of Montauk Highway where land was more affordable. We hand-brush interior sash, skim-coat around original lath on 1800s farmhouses near Ashawagh Hall, and spray built-ins and powder rooms with HEPA extraction in modern builds. Owners here care about matte-finish gallery walls as much as any Pollock-era studio did.
Exterior painting in Springs takes Gardiners Bay salt rather than Atlantic salt, but the exposure is still real. Louse Point, Maidstone Park, and Barnes Hole all face the bay with winds that pull color out of cheap paint in two seasons. The Merrill Lake Sanctuary (The Nature Conservancy), Pussy's Pond Park, and Accabonac Harbor itself are sensitive watersheds that affect how we handle wash water and dropcloths. We use breathable semi-transparent stains on red cedar shingle, 100% acrylic on painted trim, and alkyd-modified primers at every end-grain seam. Springs-Fireplace Road and Three Mile Harbor Road form the hamlet's spine and both corridors see enough sun to need UV-resistant topcoats on south-facing elevations.
Springs runs from Three Mile Harbor through Accabonac Harbor out to Gardiners Bay beaches at Louse Point and Barnes Hole. We paint interiors near Ashawagh Hall, exterior repaints on the Bonacker farmhouses north of Montauk Highway, and bay-facing cottages near Maidstone Park. The Pollock-Krasner House sets the finish standard for artists and collectors here, and the Green River Cemetery nearby holds memorials to Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and dozens of other East Hampton painters who shaped how finish quality is understood on the South Fork.
Bay salt is softer than Atlantic salt but constant, especially on Louse Point and Maidstone Park homes. Trim paint typically needs refresh every 6 to 8 years, and cedar shingle restained every 7 to 10 years with breathable stain — better than oceanfront Montauk but still demanding.
Yes. We stage all wash water, dropcloths, and waste for proper disposal off-site, use low-VOC coatings that comply with East Hampton Town environmental review, and never pressure-wash runoff toward Accabonac or Pussy's Pond watersheds.
Yes. We use Benjamin Moore Aura Matte and Regal Select, prep walls with Level 5 drywall finish on new builds, and skim-coat older plaster so matte sheens read evenly. The Springs artists' community has very specific finish expectations and we meet them.
Breathable semi-transparent stain on original red cedar shingle; 100% acrylic over alkyd-modified primer on painted trim and clapboard. Many Bonacker farmhouses have original 19th-century siding that still works if coated with the right breathable system.
Late April through mid-June and mid-September through mid-October. Bay humidity drops, nighttime temps stay above 50 degrees, and premium acrylic topcoats can cure fully before fall salt storms return from the bay.
