“We recently hired NJ Painting Co. for an exterior paint job on our home, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and meticulous in their work. The initial consultation was clear and informative, with helpful suggestions on finishes. The crew arrived on time each day, kept the worksite tidy, and showed great respect for our property.”
Interior & Exterior Painting in Howell
Much of Howell, NJ was built in waves of development, which means whole neighborhoods of homes reaching the age where original paint and builder-grade finishes need attention at the same time. Our crews repaint interiors from ceilings to baseboards and refinish cabinets that still have good bones but show their years. We are family-owned, we show up when we say we will, and every job starts with a free estimate.
Howell's larger lots and newer two-story homes also mean serious garages, and our epoxy floor coatings give that space a showroom-quality surface that shrugs off oil, road salt, and tire marks. On every wall we use premium Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams paints exclusively, because in a big suburban home the difference in coverage and longevity is easy to see. One conversation with us and you will have a clear plan and price for the whole project.
The township's own history says Howell was incorporated in 1801 and that Farmingdale was part of it until becoming a separate borough in 1903. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024 counts about 19,600 homes, with 27 percent from the 1980s, 17 percent from the 1990s and 15 percent from the 1960s; only 36 percent were built before 1980. We did not find a township historic preservation commission. Howell has a Preservation Task Force whose stated purpose is to preserve natural assets, historical sites and open space, and its page does not mention reviewing houses. Federal rules require a certified firm for paid work past six square feet of paint in a room or twenty square feet outside on a pre-1978 home, and NJ Painting Co. is not EPA Lead-Safe Certified, so we will say when you need a firm that is.
Howell Township is big, at about sixty square miles, which makes it one of the largest municipalities in Monmouth County. It borders Freehold Township, Colts Neck and Wall on the Monmouth side and Jackson, Lakewood and Brick across the Ocean County line, and it completely surrounds the small borough of Farmingdale. It runs from the Manasquan Reservoir and the woods near Allaire State Park to farmland and horse properties in the south and west. Its housing ranges from old farmhouses and 1950s and 60s ranches along the county roads to the large subdivisions of the 1980s and 90s and newer colonials since then. On wooded lots, shaded siding grows mildew and soft wood shows up at fascia ends and sill joints, so we wash it off and let the wall dry before priming, and flag any rot rather than caulking over it. On newer houses the usual jobs are a vinyl-safe color on vinyl siding, sealing the cut ends on fiber-cement, the first real repaint of builder-grade trim, and refinishing oak kitchen cabinets. Howell is about twenty-five minutes from our Morganville base, so estimates are easy to schedule, and every one is free and comes with a written scope and a two-year workmanship warranty.
We also have dedicated pages on kitchen cabinet painting in Monmouth County, exterior painting in Monmouth County and interior painting in Monmouth County.

Everything you need to know about estimates, scheduling, and getting your home or business professionally painted.
No. Farmingdale was part of Howell until it became a separate borough in 1903, so the two now have separate governments. This page is for Howell Township, which was incorporated in 1801. We paint throughout the township, and the estimate is free and written.
The 1980s. The 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey counts about 19,600 homes, with 27 percent from the 1980s, 17 percent from the 1990s and 15 percent from the 1960s; only 36 percent predate 1980. Most jobs are therefore a repaint of builder-grade trim and oak kitchen cabinets. On older farmhouses and ranches, the EPA's rule on pre-1978 homes applies past its limits. NJ Painting Co. is not EPA Lead-Safe Certified, and we will say when you need a firm that is.
We found no sign that it does. We did not find a township historic preservation commission; Howell has a Preservation Task Force whose stated purpose is to preserve natural assets, historical sites and open space, and its page does not mention reviewing houses. Ask the township if your property is a known historic site. In a development with an association, its rules on colors come first.
Because we are locally based in Morganville, we can usually schedule your free estimate within a few days and lock in a start date that works for you. Reach out and we'll find the soonest available slot for Howell.
