Setauket is a Town of Brookhaven hamlet with one of the richest Revolutionary War histories on Long Island — the Culper Spy Ring operated from here, Caroline Church of Brookhaven dates to 1729, and historic properties fill the hamlet. Housing ranges from authentic 18th-century historic homes along Main Street and East Setauket Road to 19th-century Victorians, postwar colonials, and newer builds. Interior painting work spans every era — careful plaster skim-coating on historic homes, lead-safe prep, period-appropriate color options, standard drywall patch-and-paint on postwar homes. We spec Benjamin Moore Aura or Regal Select on walls, Advance on trim. Full interior repaints run 5-10 days.
