Room repaints, trim and door touch-ups, ceiling work, and clean color-match for repair patches. Serving Montclair homeowners and property managers with upfront pricing and same-week availability.
Paint is where Montclair homes show their age first — and where careless work shows forever. The serious finishes this town is known for mean layers: oil-based trim enamel under newer latex, picture rails with ninety years of coats, and plaster walls where a quick roller job flashes every old repair. Our painting and touch-up service is built for that reality — proper prep, primer matched to the surface, and color-matching so a patched wall section blends into the room instead of glowing. We repaint rooms, refresh trim and doors, handle ceilings, and finish the drywall or plaster repairs we make so you're not coordinating two contractors. One thing owners of pre-war homes from the South End to Upper Montclair should take seriously: homes built before 1978 very likely have lead paint somewhere under those layers. Test kits are cheap, and any project involving heavy sanding of old trim deserves lead-safe practices — containment, HEPA cleanup, no dry-scraping. Ask about it before hiring anyone, including us. Careful prep is most of what separates paint that lasts from paint that peels.
