Local Painting Company in Union County

Interior, exterior and cabinet painting for the Victorian, colonial and mid-century homes of Union County, plus epoxy and commercial work, from our base in Morganville.

Your Trusted Painters in Union County

Union County runs from the Watchung Mountains in the west to Newark Bay and the Arthur Kill in the east, and its housing covers almost every era. Plainfield has whole historic districts of Victorian houses, Westfield has early twentieth-century Colonial Revival and Tudor neighborhoods, Mountainside is mostly ranches and split-levels from the decades after the Second World War, and Rahway is an older river city with a manufacturing past. NJ Painting Co. is a family-owned company based at 36 Church Road in Morganville, Monmouth County, and we travel north to take on painting jobs in Union County.

Every project starts with a free estimate at the house or building and a written scope that separates preparation from finish coats. We are licensed and fully insured, use premium Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams products, and back the work with a two-year workmanship warranty.

Older houses and lead-safe preparation

A large share of Union County's homes were built before the 1978 lead-paint ban, many of them long before it. Plainfield's Van Wyck Brooks, Crescent Area and Hillside Avenue districts are full of Italianate, Second Empire and Queen Anne houses with porches, brackets, shingled gables and wood windows, and Westfield's older neighborhoods have Colonial Revival and Tudor houses with original millwork and plaster. On houses like these, preparation is most of the job. We follow lead-safe practices as standard, with containment, wet scraping in place of dry sanding, HEPA cleanup and a site cleaned every day, and we put a bonding primer over old oil paint before any waterborne finish so the new coat does not peel off the old one.

Inside, original plaster gets its cracks cut out, filled and spot-primed so the repairs do not show through. Outside, rot at sills, porch floors and the bottoms of trim boards is cut out and replaced rather than caulked over. If a house is in a designated historic district, exterior work can need review by the town's preservation commission, so we suggest checking before final colors are chosen.

Mid-century kitchens, wooded lots and working floors

In the postwar ranches, capes and split-levels found across towns like Mountainside, the kitchen cabinets are often solid and only the finish is tired. Spraying them, with the doors removed and finished off-site and the boxes bond-primed in place, gives a factory-smooth look for a fraction of what new cabinets cost. Houses on the wooded slopes near the Watchung Reservation face a different problem outside: walls in heavy shade stay damp and grow mildew, so we wash and treat it before priming and use mildew-resistant finishes on those faces. Near the Rahway River, we check for moisture before quoting any paint.

The eastern side of the county has a long industrial history, and warehouses, shops and production floors there need coatings matched to their traffic. For epoxy floors we test the slab for moisture, grind the concrete, repair cracks and lay down a primer, body coat and topcoat suited to forklifts, chemicals or hot tires, scheduled around shifts and weekends.

“I can't say enough about Matthew, Mustafa, Fico et al. They were considerate, professional, and some of the greatest people I've had the pleasure of meeting. They treated my home like their own. They were patient with my requests and so pleasant to work with. I had gotten 3 different estimates for the work, they were all in the same ballpark, however NJ Painting offered a free consultation with an interior designer that was incredible. I went with all her suggestions and my house looks great! I could not be more satisfied with the outcome.”

“Matt and his team of professional painters did a wonderful job painting the entire interior and the front of my home. They arrived as scheduled and completed the work as promised. After completing the work, Matt returned to make sure we were completely satisfied and had the men touch up any missed spots. Since they did a great job, we decided to have them paint the remaining exterior, Highly recommended!”
