Planning Your Project

When should I request an estimate?

Request an estimate as soon as you’re seriously considering a painting project—even if you’re still finalizing the details.

A house that is roughly 2500 sq. ft. will take approximately 5-7 days to repaint, depending on the intricacies and level of prep required. We try to work in crews of 2-4 to provide a high level of detail work while also getting your job done in a timely manner.

Yes, we do require a deposit in order to hold your place on our schedule.

Working With C. Henry

Are you licensed/insured?

We are a licensed home improvement contractor in the state of New Jersey. We carry both General Liability and Workers Compensation insurance. Our HIC license number is 13VH10028800.

We normally aim to provide you with a quote via email within 48 hrs or 2 business days of the estimate. Our quotes are detailed, laying out exactly which areas are being painted and what products are being used.

For interior painting, you can move small items and fragile things. We usually suggest that our clients take pictures or mirrors off the wall as well. We will move any heavier objects that we are unable to work around and cover everything in plastic and drop cloths.

To prepare for exterior painting, move small items like potted plants and furniture away from the house. We ask that you not park too close to your home to allow ladder access and turn your hose water on.

Painting + Materials

What brand of paint do you use?

We typically use Benjamin Moore products for all of our interior/exterior work. We also use a few Sherwin Williams paints we use depending on the surface we are working with. Any bare wood will be primed first with either an alkyd or shellac primer.

We are always happy to lend our experience and expertise when it comes to choosing the right paint color. We also can work up samples and apply them in your home or business for an additional cost.

Whether it’s a small patch or a much larger repair, we can handle any and all drywall work. This will be outlined in our estimate as well.

We are able to utilize our affiliate company “Blue Heron Builders” to handle any carpentry repairs, crown moulding installation, and trim/door replacement you may need.
