When Tim and his wife had to fire their first painter mid-project after inadequate coverage on their honey oak cabinets, Hudson Paint Contracting came recommended through a color consultant. The team not only corrected the previous work but applied glazing putty to block tannins from bleeding through, a detail the original contractor overlooked. Tim describes the outcome as work he would "hire them again in a second" to repeat.
Owner Simone Moussa leads the Woodland Park-based operation, which maintains a warehouse facility where cabinet doors are sanded before on-site spraying of the boxes. Project coordinator Ricky manages day-to-day client communication while crew members Jordan, Oliver, and Alex handle installations and finish work. The company handles everything from kitchen cabinet refinishing to whole-home interior painting, exterior work, deck staining, furniture restoration, and power washing.
The fully insured team serves Northern New Jersey, focusing on Hudson, Essex, Morris, Bergen, and Passaic Counties. Hudson Paint Contracting has earned four consecutive Houzz Service Awards from 2021 through 2024.
