Bergen County Painting Company, 20+ Yrs

Your Trusted Painters in Bergen County

Bergen County is the most populous county in New Jersey, with seventy municipalities between the Hudson River and the Passaic County line. NJ Painting Co. is a family-owned company based in Morganville in Monmouth County, and we travel north to take on painting jobs here. The county's housing ranges widely. Ridgewood and the older villages of the northwest are full of houses from the 1890s to the 1950s: Tudors, Colonial Revivals, Dutch Colonials, foursquares and capes. On the Palisades, Cliffside Park and its neighbors pack high-rise condos and older one- and two-family houses into very little ground. North Arlington and Ridgefield, near the Passaic River and the Meadowlands, filled in mostly between the 1920s and the 1960s.

We do not price a Bergen County job off an average. Every project starts with a free estimate at the house, an in-home color consultation, and a written scope that separates prep from finish coats. We are licensed and fully insured, we use premium Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams products, and every job carries a two-year workmanship warranty.

Older houses in Ridgewood and northwest Bergen

A large share of Bergen County's single-family housing predates the 1978 lead-paint ban, and in the older villages much of it predates 1930. On those houses we follow lead-safe practices as standard: containment, wet scraping instead of dry sanding, HEPA cleanup and a site cleaned every day. The prep is most of the job. Tudors combine stucco, half-timbering, brick and stone, and each needs its own product and a clean line between them. Colonial Revivals carry clapboard, cornices, columns and multi-pane windows with many decades of paint on them, and soft sills and trim need to be replaced rather than caulked over.

Inside, plaster walls, original oak floors and old oil-based trim are common. Plaster cracks get repaired and the patches primed so they don't show, and old oil-based trim gets a bonding primer before any water-based finish. Some Bergen towns, Ridgewood among them, have historic districts where changes to a building's exterior appearance need approval, so if your house is in one and you are planning a new color scheme, check with the town before work starts.

The Palisades, the Meadowlands and two-family houses

In the southern part of the county the work is shaped by density. Two-family houses are common, so interior repaints often happen one unit at a time, around tenants or family upstairs, or as a quick turnover between tenants. In high-rise condos and co-ops along the Palisades the job is almost entirely interior, and building associations commonly ask for a certificate of insurance and set rules on elevator use and working hours. We plan around those, protect the unit, and use low-odor paints so it can be lived in during the work.

Exteriors at the top of the Palisades take wind and weather off the Hudson, and the exposed walls chalk and peel sooner than sheltered ones. Lower ground near Overpeck Creek, the Hackensack Meadowlands and the Passaic River sits in damper air, where shaded walls grow mildew that must be washed and treated before priming. Many houses in these towns have aluminum or vinyl siding over the original wood. Aluminum can be cleaned and repainted with the right primer, and vinyl can be painted in a color within the manufacturer's limits.
