About Painting and Trim by Ori Avisar

When West Windsor homeowner Ravi Chandran needed a complete bathroom renovation, he wasn't just hiring painters. He was bringing strangers into the intimate spaces where his family brushes teeth and gets ready each morning. What emerged from that September 2024 project reveals how third-generation contractor Ori Avisar operates differently. The crew vacuumed daily, discussed plumbing adaptations for a bidet toilet as they arose, and installed a floating vanity with back-lit mirror that "wowed family and friends." This attention to the human element of construction (the fact that homes remain occupied during work) defines the company more than its well over 150 Google reviews.

The arithmetic looks straightforward: operating since 1991 across Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, and Somerset Counties in New Jersey, plus Bucks County Pennsylvania. A 4.9-star average spanning interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, trim installation, wallpaper hanging, and full bathroom renovations. But numbers miss what customers actually experience. Audrey Perrette's crew arrived at 8 AM daily and stayed past 5 PM, racing a tight deadline to complete walls, ceilings, trim, interior doors, and intricate entryway carpentry. Multiple reviewers mention workers protecting vehicles without being asked, fixing door frames while painting trim, sending morning text confirmations. These are practices never advertised on the website because they're simply embedded in how Ori's teams work.

The company lacks certain business polish. There's no BBB accreditation, no presence on Angi or Nextdoor despite serving residential neighborhoods where those platforms dominate. The Google Business Profile lists only "Princeton, NJ" rather than a complete street address, and business hours aren't posted anywhere. Yet customers like Lisa Suttner hire for kitchen cabinets, then immediately book additional work because painter Jonathan was "very tolerant" of her poodles and delivered "perfect" results on nail pops and bathroom ceilings. The 1-star review from James Bradley crystallizes the tension: he praises the painters as "top-notch" with exceptional expertise but criticizes Ori personally for contract disputes and communication breakdowns. This suggests a company built on craft skills rather than administrative systems.
