Lawrenceville is the historic village at the center of Lawrence Township, and most people use the two names interchangeably. The township was founded in 1697 as Maidenhead and renamed in 1816 for Captain James Lawrence, the War of 1812 naval officer remembered for "Don't give up the ship." It is home to the Lawrenceville School and Rider University, and its housing covers almost three centuries: eighteenth- and nineteenth-century houses along Main Street in the village, mid-century ranches and split-levels through the middle of the township, and newer developments and townhome communities toward the Route 1 corridor and Quaker Bridge. We paint homes throughout Lawrence Township, and a free estimate here starts with which of those your house belongs to.
The village center of Lawrenceville has a historic character that homeowners here work hard to preserve, and the painting has to live up to it. On older homes in and around the village, our exterior painting starts with real prep: scraping failing paint, spot-priming bare wood, and repairing surfaces before color goes on. Inside, we treat original trim and plaster walls with the same care, using Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams products chosen for the surface, not just the shade.
Elsewhere in Lawrence Township there are plenty of newer neighborhoods where the requests run more toward cabinet refinishing and whole-home interior repaints in modern, lighter palettes. On the mid-century houses in between, the usual work is washing and adhesion-testing chalked aluminum siding, repainting wood trim with lead-safe practices on anything from before 1978, and refinishing the oak floors under old carpet. We are comfortable at both ends of that range because we scope every project on its own terms. Walk us through what you have in mind and we will follow up with a clear, free estimate covering exactly what the job involves.
