Reviews
Dix Hills is an affluent Town of Huntington suburb with housing dominated by large 1970s-90s colonials, Tudors, and some newer estate-style builds on half-acre to multi-acre lots. The housing stock is typically 2-story with high foyers, trim-heavy stairwells, formal dining and living rooms, and finished basements — meaning interior painting projects involve more surface area, taller ceilings requiring scaffolding or extension setups, and more trim detail than a standard suburban job. We spec Benjamin Moore Aura or Regal Select on walls, Advance or Emerald Urethane on trim. Interior cabinet repaints in large kitchens are a frequent high-impact upgrade. Full interior repaints on a Dix Hills colonial typically run 6-10 days.
Dix Hills exteriors are mostly brick-and-clapboard colonials, Tudors with half-timber accents, and stucco-and-brick combinations. Prep is substantial — larger homes mean more linear feet of trim, more shutters, more windows, more surface area overall. We wash, scrape, feather, spot-prime bare wood, caulk, then apply two coats of premium 100% acrylic. Trim gets careful attention — often the main visible refresh element on a brick home. Shutter repainting (or replacement) is common. Deck staining on pressure-treated decks is a regular pair-up every 2-3 years. Dix Hills' inland location means minimal salt exposure; paint life runs 8-10 years with proper prep.
Dix Hills covers a large residential area in the Town of Huntington between Deer Park Avenue to the west and Commack Road to the east, with Northern State Parkway running along the south edge and quiet neighborhoods of large colonials, Tudors, and estate-style homes filling the interior. The Dix Hills Park and West Hills County Park provide nearby open space; the Half Hollow Hills Central School District serves most families.
Yes. 20-foot foyers and open stairwells need scaffolding setups and careful cutting-in at the trim/wall line. We've handled Dix Hills estate homes with complex vertical access needs.
Yes. Full degrease, scuff-sand, bonding primer, two coats of cabinet-grade finish. Doors removed and sprayed. Large multi-island kitchens typically 5-8 days.
2-story colonials with brick-and-clapboard: 8-12 days. Larger estates with Tudors or stucco accents, trim-heavy exteriors, and shutters: 12-16 days.
Yes. For Dix Hills homes under renovation we regularly coordinate with designers and architects on color schemes, sheen selections, and sequencing with other trades.
8-10 years on well-prepped exteriors — inland location and sheltered lots mean long cycles. South elevations with dark colors fade sooner.
