Brownstone & Historic Home Restoration
Preserving the Architectural Heritage of Jersey City and Hoboken.
Owning a brownstone in **Hamilton Park**, **Van Vorst Park**, or **Hoboken** is a privilege—but maintaining its historic integrity requires a specialized touch. These 19th-century homes possess unique architectural details, from intricate plaster crown moldings to delicate exterior masonry, that cannot be treated with "off-the-shelf" painting methods.
At JerseyPainter.com, we are more than just painters; we are stewards of local history. We specialize in the meticulous restoration and painting of historic wood trim, plaster walls, and period-correct facades.
Our Specialized Restoration Services
Ornate Plaster & Molding Restoration
Historic JC brownstones often feature plaster medallions and intricate moldings that have been dulled by decades of paint buildup. We offer careful surface preparation and "fine-finishing" to restore the sharp detail of your home's original artistry.
Historic Wood Refinishing
From mahogany staircases to oak mantels and original window shutters, we preserve and enhance the natural beauty of your home’s woodwork using premium oils, stains, and protective coatings.
Exterior Masonry & Cornice Painting
The Jersey City skyline is defined by its iconic cornices. We provide expert exterior painting for metal cornices, window lintels, and sills, using weather-resistant coatings designed to withstand the Hudson River's elements.
Preserving the Past, Safely
Working on older homes requires an uncompromising commitment to safety and modern standards:
- EPA Lead-Safe Certified: We follow strict protocols to ensure your family is protected during the removal of old coatings in pre-1978 properties.
- Dust Containment: Using advanced HEPA-filtered sanding systems, we keep fine dust out of your living spaces.
- Period-Correct Color Matching: We work with Benjamin Moore's Historical Collection to identify the exact shades that honor your home's era.
"Restoring a brownstone isn't about making it look new—it's about making it look timeless. We focus on the prep work that ensures the finish lasts for another century."
