About

Operating from their Weehawken headquarters since establishing roots in Hudson County, By Hand Painting LLC has transformed North Jersey properties with a combination of craftsmanship and genuine customer care. With over 90 five-star Google reviews reflecting consistent excellence, owner Adam Voysey and his team have become the go-to painting professionals for homeowners from Hoboken to Jersey City who value reliability, communication, and exceptional results.

The company distinguishes itself through an uncommonly personal approach to each project. Adam personally oversees estimates and maintains daily communication with clients, while his crew demonstrates the kind of attention to detail that leads customers to note finding their spaces "cleaner than when they started." This dedication extends beyond standard painting services to include specialized plaster-and-lath repair, water damage restoration, and color consultation, with the team even providing honest DIY guidance when it benefits the customer more than a paid service.

What truly sets By Hand Painting apart is their ability to handle both emergency situations (like Christmas Day water damage) and complex commercial projects (including Sam's Club renovations) with equal professionalism. Their HIC License #13VH12042000 backs their commitment to quality, while their reputation for showing up on time, staying within budget, and exceeding expectations has created a network of customers who actively refer them to neighbors and return for multiple projects.

About Wilber's Home Improvements

When Dan Sharp accidentally overpaid Rony by $1,000 in cash for a large exterior project, he figured the money was gone. No receipt, no way to prove the mistake. An hour later, Rony called from the office: he'd noticed the extra thousand while recording the payment and drove 30 minutes back to return it. This moment captures what investigating over 100 Google reviews reveals about Wilber's Home Improvements: beneath the typical contractor promises lies an operation where personal integrity drives business decisions.

The numbers paint one picture: well over 100 five-star Google reviews, projects from $820 newel post repairs to complete historic home restorations, EPA certifications, New Jersey contractor license #13VH06449500 active through 2026. But dive into the actual customer stories and something different emerges. Crews bringing their own microwaves to avoid using clients' kitchens. Foreman Dennis making cracked plaster disappear in 1930s homes. Workers returning unprompted to clean bird droppings off freshly painted siding. These aren't marketed services or upsells. They're simply how Wilber Vargas has run his Maplewood operation for 25 years.

What's notably absent tells its own story. No Instagram presence, basic Wix website missing phone number and address, no Houzz profile despite being perfect for that platform. Yet somehow 343 Angi reviews averaging 4.9 stars. This is word-of-mouth construction in its purest form, where Eduardo brings flowers when he learns a client is pregnant, where Cesar reinforces rotting deck joists without delaying timelines or demanding change orders. From their unmarked shop on Millburn Avenue, this team has built something that feels less like hiring a contractor and more like having skilled neighbors who happen to own professional equipment. The three negative reviews in two years all involve the same pattern: long-term customers shocked by sudden price increases or communication failures, suggesting even reliable relationships can fracture when business practices shift.
