House Painting in West Orange NJ
Interior and exterior painting, with prep and repair done before a brush comes out. We use Behr Plus Ultra — a paint-and-primer in one that holds up to New Jersey winters and humid summers.
Backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty + Behr 15-year manufacturer warranty. All warranties in writing.
The difference between a paint job that lasts five years and one that lasts fifteen is almost entirely in the prep. We scrape loose paint, sand rough edges, fill cracks and holes with exterior-grade caulk and spackle, and prime bare wood before any topcoat goes on. On older homes we check for lead paint and follow EPA RRP protocols if it's present.
For exterior work we use Behr Plus Ultra Exterior, which is a paint-and-primer in one with a 15-year warranty against peeling and blistering. It's formulated for the temperature swings and humidity that New Jersey gets — it stays flexible enough not to crack in winter and resists mildew in summer. We apply two coats on all surfaces and three on bare wood.
Interior painting follows the same approach: prep first, paint second. We protect floors and furniture, fill nail holes and cracks, and apply two coats of Behr Premium Plus Ultra Interior. We work room by room so you're never locked out of the whole house at once. Cleanup is complete before we leave each day.
Products we use.
Behr Plus Ultra Exterior

Zero-VOC formula. Scrubbable finish that holds up to cleaning. Available in flat, eggshell, satin, and semi-gloss.
Exterior-Grade Caulk
Applied at all trim joints, window frames, and door frames before painting. Stays flexible through temperature changes so it doesn't crack and let water in.
