Painting in Montclair
Montclair's historic homes deserve painters who respect them.
Few New Jersey towns have a housing stock like Montclair: grand Victorians and Tudors, arts-and-crafts homes, and entire historic districts where the architecture is the whole point. Behind those beautiful facades are plaster walls, original chestnut and oak trim, and paint layers that go back generations. Painting these houses well is a craft, and cutting corners shows immediately.
Because so much of Montclair was built before 1978, lead-safe work practices are not optional here. We are an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm and follow the RRP rule whenever prep work might disturb old paint. We repair sagging and cracked plaster instead of hiding it, remove layers of stubborn wallpaper without destroying the wall beneath, and use bonding primers formulated for aged surfaces so finish coats stay put.
Montclair also has modern condos, renovated kitchens, and new additions, and we bring the same standard to drywall, repaints, and cabinet refinishing there. Every project starts with a free walkthrough and ends with a 2-year written workmanship warranty. You deal directly with Bill, the owner, a U.S. Army 82nd Airborne veteran who has been running crews in Essex County since 1998.
