More on interior painting →Exterior House Painting
Most exterior paint fails because of bad prep, not bad paint. That’s why our exterior painters spend most of the job getting the surface ready. Power washing, scraping, sanding, spot priming and caulking come first, then premium Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore paint.
Exterior painting →Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Cabinet refinishing done right starts with getting grease and grime off, then sanding so the primer grips. We paint in the color you choose and handle doors, drawer fronts and cabinet boxes, keeping the rest of your kitchen covered while the work is underway.
Cabinet painting →Decks, Fences & Drywall Repair
Stain soaks in, protects the wood and brings back color. We prep and stain decks and fences at Upper Montclair homes, and inside we patch, tape, sand and prime damaged drywall so it’s ready for paint. Pair either one with a larger painting job or book it on its own.

Reasons Homeowners Call Us First for Painting
Here’s what you can count on from the first call to the last coat.
Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams premium paints go on every job. Better paint covers more evenly and stands up to cleaning far better than bargain-grade products.
Washing, scraping, sanding, patching, caulking and spot-priming. We do the unglamorous work that decides how well a paint job actually holds up.
Painting a Upper Montclair house built before 1978? We use EPA RRP lead-safe methods while prepping it, keeping old paint dust and chips contained and cleaned up.
If a wall only needs a touch-up, that’s what we’ll tell you. We don’t sell a full repaint to a house that doesn’t need one.
Ask us anything about prep, paint, sheen or scope. You’ll get a plain answer, not a sales script, before the job and while it’s underway.
We show up when we say we will, keep you updated as the job moves along, and answer the phone when you call with a question.
Hiring a Painting Contractor in Upper Montclair? Read This First

If you’re comparing house painters in Upper Montclair, add us to the list and see the difference on paper. Call us today at (973) 713-1053.
What Upper Montclair Homeowners Ask About Painting
The questions Upper Montclair homeowners ask most, answered plainly.
The cost depends mostly on how much prep the job needs, and that’s also why quotes can look so different. One painter plans to scrape, sand, caulk and prime, another plans to wash and roll. Our written quote lists every prep step and the exact paint product, so you’re comparing the real scope. The estimate is free for any home in Upper Montclair.
Yes, and it comes with no strings attached. We visit, look over the rooms or siding you want painted, point out anything that needs repair first, and leave the decision to you. The written, itemized quote follows so you can compare it with other painters in Upper Montclair side by side.
Prep is included on every job, and it isn’t optional. Painting over dirt, chalk or loose paint is the surest way to get peeling. So we clean, scrape, sand, fill, caulk and prime first, and older homes get lead-safe practices while we do it. Your written quote spells out the prep for each area.
We do. Any home built before 1978 gets EPA RRP lead-safe practices during scraping and sanding, so old paint is contained, collected and hauled away properly. Newer homes get the same careful cleanup. Call (973) 713-1053 and let us know when your house was built.
You do. It’s your home, so the colors are your call. We’ll talk through finish and sheen options at the estimate, then paint exactly where you want each color with clean lines. If you’re torn between shades, try samples on the wall first and we’ll work from your final pick.
A touch-up works when the existing paint is in good shape and the color still matches. Once paint starts cracking, peeling or fading unevenly, patches tend to stand out and the failure keeps spreading. We’ll look at it for free, show you what we find, and recommend the smallest job that actually fixes the problem.
We back our painting work with a written workmanship warranty. You get the terms in writing when the job is finished, and it’s transferable if you sell your home. Because we do the prep right and use premium paint, we’re comfortable putting our name on every job.
Your best bet is a painter who is licensed and insured, explains the prep before quoting, and backs the work in writing. Nail Force is registered under NJ HIC #13VH14050100, uses premium Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams paint, and gives a written workmanship warranty. Read our five-star Google reviews, then call (973) 713-1053.
It can, once it’s primed. Raw drywall and joint compound soak up paint unevenly, so new walls in a finished basement or addition need a proper primer before any color goes on. We prime, then apply finish coats with clean lines at the ceiling and trim. Call (973) 713-1053 and we’ll price your new space for free.
Yes. You don’t have to choose between painting the house right and painting it now. Our financing partner offers options for qualified homeowners, and we’ll point you to them if you’re interested. The details live on our financing page, and we’re happy to answer questions at (973) 713-1053.
