About Soto Painting Corporation

An owner-run painting and remodeling company serving Long Island — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our Story

Built on work that still looks right in five years

Soto Painting Corporation was built by Francis Ernesto Soto Elias out of Brentwood on a simple promise: show up when you say you will, prep the surface properly before a drop of paint goes on, and leave the home cleaner than you found it. We've grown almost entirely by word of mouth across Suffolk and Nassau Counties — from Central Islip and Huntington out to the Hamptons and across the North Shore — one satisfied neighbor at a time.

Painting on Long Island teaches you things a catalogue never will. Salt air off the Sound and the ocean that strips an exterior in a few seasons if it wasn't primed and caulked. Old plaster and layers of wallpaper in the village houses that have to be skimmed flat before paint will ever look right. Oak kitchens from the 1990s with perfectly good boxes that just need a factory-smooth spray finish, not a dumpster. We've learned all of it on site, and it shows in work that holds up.

Today we handle interior, exterior and commercial painting, cabinet spray painting, general remodeling, demolition, drywall, carpentry, hardwood and ceramic flooring, stucco, stonework and masonry, electrical, plumbing and power washing — all under one crew, with Francis on the job. House and office cleaning is offered through our sister company, Mayen Cleaning Services. We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and every estimate is free.

What We Stand For

Reliability

We show up on the day we said, at the time we said, and we tell you straight away if anything moves the schedule.

Respect

It's your home. We cover the furniture, protect the floors, keep the dust contained, and clean up before we leave every day.

Doing It Right

Patched, sanded, primed, caulked, then two full coats. No shortcuts that peel or flash in two years.

Community

We live here too. We hire local, work local, and our reputation travels by word of mouth.

Our Mission

Give Long Island homeowners and businesses a finish they're proud of, done once and done properly. Treat every customer like a neighbor, because most of them are. Earn the next referral with the work itself.

Our Promise

If you're not happy with the work, tell us and we'll come back and make it right. No questions, no excuses. That's how we've built a customer list that runs almost entirely on referrals — and why returning customers and their friends get $300 off.
