At Carlson Paint and Paper, we believe that a flawless finish is 10% paint and 90% preparation. That is why we are constantly on the lookout for the best tools in the industry to bring to our clients across Long Island. Today, we took our commitment to quality on-site to Massapequa for a special collaboration. Dane Carlson was in the field with the team from Blue Dolphin Tape, filming some incredible behind-the-scenes content and putting their professional-grade products t

Before your wallpaper installation even begins, proper preparation is what ensures a flawless final result. At Carlson Paint & Paper, we take the time to get every surface ready the right way. This includes full site protection to keep your home clean and protected throughout the process. Floors, furniture, and surrounding areas are carefully covered so you can feel confident that your space is being respected from start to finish.

When homeowners think about hiring a painter, they usually focus on the finished products, such as beautiful walls, crisp trim lines, and fresh color. But one of the most important parts of any professional painting project happens before the first drop of paint is applied.

What an incredible week in Orlando for the PCA Event! We had an absolutely amazing time connecting with so many members of the Paint Fam and representing some outstanding brands at the Titan and Arroworthy booths.

If you’ve been paying attention to interior design trends, you already know: wallpaper is officially back, and in 2026, it’s leading the way. What was once considered old-fashioned is now the most talked-about design choice in homes across Suffolk County and beyond. From bold statement walls to subtle textured neutrals, wallpaper has become the go-to solution for homeowners who want something more than just paint.

We’re excited to share that Carlson Paint & Paper will be attending the PCA Event at the Disney Swan Convention Center, and we can’t wait to connect with the paint community in one of the most iconic locations in Orlando.

If you’re expecting a little one, everything suddenly feels more meaningful. Colors matter more. Details matter more. The space you’re creating isn’t just a room—it’s a place filled with comfort, love, and memories waiting to be made.
