Hudson Paint Contracting & Refinishing by Hudson
About Hudson Paint Contracting & Refinishing by Hudson
When Mary Vittozzi needed five rooms painted in her new Bergen County home with only days before move-in, Hudson Paint Contracting completed the job in just 2.5 days. Then returned the next morning to perfect a ceiling detail she'd noticed. This wasn't special treatment. This fourth-time customer simply knew what Simone Stewart's crews deliver: painters who show up within 24 hours of a call, complete complex projects ahead of schedule, then follow up weeks later to ensure satisfaction.
The numbers suggest a typical contractor story: over 90 Google reviews averaging 5.0 stars, 27 years serving Northern New Jersey, projects from $500 cabinet touch-ups to complete commercial transformations. But dig into the reviews and something unusual emerges. Customers don't just praise the work. They describe crews who "touch and feel the walls before and after", who shield cars without being asked, who explain each step of specialized processes like using glazing putty to block oak tannins. These aren't listed services on their Woodland Park website. They're simply how Ricky, Jordan, Alex, Oliver, and the rotating cast of specialists operate.
What's notably absent tells its own story. No Angi presence despite dominating Google reviews. No BBB accreditation despite holding active contractor license #13VH10531100. No elaborate marketing beyond Houzz awards and an Instagram feed. Instead, this is a word-of-mouth operation where Brian Perri calls for kitchen cabinets because a friend insisted, where furniture refinishing customers mention cherished family heirlooms (like Billy's grandfather-built dresser) entrusted to the team. The company has built something increasingly rare: a skilled trade business where "these guys are passionate about what they do" isn't marketing copy but customer observation after watching them work.
