Lake Hiawatha, NJ Painting Contractors

About

Owner Rich Lauretta and his team have built a business with over 600 five-star Google reviews through consistent practices and exceptional execution. Estimator Brian providing upfront honest pricing, project coordinators sending daily progress updates, crew leaders like Greivin arriving early every morning. Reviews mention comprehensive surface protection, "cleaner than when they started" conditions, and the unexpected chocolate cookie tradition that customers celebrate in their feedback.

When Ronald expressed skepticism about hiring contractors after years of DIY work, Spectrum didn't just meet expectations. Mark provided a thorough estimate, the power washing crew prepped perfectly, then Roberto and Jamie painted on the hottest day of the year with Hector supervising quality. Tyler followed for concrete patching and trim work. Both Hector and Mark called afterward to confirm satisfaction, prompting Ronald to declare "you guys are the best" after seeing the perfect results.

Projects range from single door refinishing requiring Marcin's specialized sanding technique to achieve a "glass-like feel" to complete basement transformations coordinating carpenters, painters, and concrete coating specialists. Customers mention Brian's 95 percent timeline accuracy, crews helping move furniture for post-surgery clients, and Greivin remembered years later for detail-oriented professionalism. The fully licensed and insured company, EPA Lead-Safe Certified and holding an A+ BBB rating since 2007, operates from Pompton Lakes serving over 50 northern New Jersey communities with services spanning interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, wallpaper installation, power washing, and concrete floor coatings.

About

With over 200 five-star Google reviews and a perfect 5.0-star rating, Elkins Painting and Wallpapering has built an exceptional reputation across Morris County since 1995. Owner Elkin specializes in wallpaper installation and removal, cabinet refinishing, interior and exterior painting, and deck restoration. His portfolio includes removing 30-year-old wallpaper from cathedral ceilings, transforming oak cabinets into modern white finishes, and restoring properties where damaged walls look "like brand new drywall."

What distinguishes this business is direct accountability. Elkin provides estimates, completes the work, and ensures quality without supervisors or subcontractors. The fully licensed and insured contractor operates through photo-based estimates, with customers reporting responses within hours and final costs matching quotes exactly. Multiple reviews document projects completed ahead of schedule, with surfaces protected by drop cloths and plastic covering, daily cleanup, and properties left "cleaner than when they started."

From Parsippany to Morristown, customers who hire Elkin once consistently return. Working sometimes with assistant Bryan on larger projects, he uses quality Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore materials while maintaining the detail orientation that prompted Jonathan to describe his work as "nearly impossible for a crew of 4 men let alone a single man" after painting eight rooms perfectly in eight days.
