Painting and Remodeling in Morristown
Morristown is the county seat and one of the oldest towns in Morris County, and its houses show it. Within a few blocks of the Green you can find nineteenth-century Victorians with deep porches and layered trim, brick and clapboard colonials, older homes split into apartments, and newer townhouses and condos close to the train. Each one calls for a different approach, and that is what we plan for at the estimate.
Older Houses Need Different Prep
Many Morristown homes have original plaster walls, not drywall. Plaster cracks along the same lines year after year, and a quick skim of joint compound over a crack just brings it back. We open cracks up, secure loose plaster and patch properly before painting, so the repair lasts.
Outside, old wood clapboard and detailed trim usually carry decades of paint. That means more scraping, more sanding and more priming than a newer house, and it is where most of the time on an exterior job goes. Any house built before 1978 may have lead paint, and we plan the prep around that from the start.
What Morristown Homeowners Ask Us For
- Interior painting, often whole floors at once, with plaster repair and trim.
- Exterior painting on clapboard and detailed trim, with rotted wood replaced by our own carpenters.
- Cabinet painting and kitchen remodeling that update a kitchen without losing the character of the house.
- Custom carpentry such as wainscoting and molding that matches the original trim.
