About Romeo Painting Plus LLC

When a Bloomingdale homeowner needed her son's house painted on an aggressive timeline, Cheley Bouvier Vavrik didn't just get professionalism. She got Carol, the scheduler who kept communication flowing, and a crew that left her so impressed she immediately booked work on her own house. This isn't marketing speak. It's how Matt Romeo and his family have operated for over 25 years in North Jersey, building a business where customers like Raymond McNamee can rattle off crew names (Javier the foreman, Manuel on power washing) because the same faces show up, work through weather challenges, and treat properties like their own.

The numbers sketch one picture: well over 50 Google reviews at 4.9 stars, projects spanning from quick hallway refreshes to complete commercial transformations like the NY NJ Trail Center. But dig into those reviews and a different story emerges. A contractor who covers furniture without prompting, texts morning arrival times, fixes door frames while painting trim. Matt, who can explain paint chemistry and color theory during estimates. Bill, the semi-retired founder, still involved. Carol (sometimes Caryl), coordinating schedules and keeping clients updated through weather delays. These aren't upsold services. They're simply how the operation runs from their unmarked shop on Dehart Avenue in Hewitt.

Romeo Painting Plus holds New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor License 13VH13109000, maintains RRP certification for lead-safe work, and carries the insurance documentation customers never think about until something goes wrong. They've painted metal roofs on log cabins, stripped decades of cigarette smoke discoloration from estate sale prep homes, and stained decks through rain delays while staying in constant communication. The only significant negative review centers on weather-dependent exterior work that took months longer than initially quoted, with the owner's response explaining the realities of working in North Jersey's unpredictable climate rather than making excuses.
