Painting across a large, varied township
Belle Mead Painting is a local contractor run by Greg Hayes, based in Belle Mead and working across Somerset County since 2006. Franklin Township is one of the biggest towns in the county, stretching from the Somerset section near New Brunswick down through Franklin Park to the Kingston and Griggstown edges, and we cover the whole spread.
That size means a lot of different housing. There are dense neighborhoods and townhouse communities in the Somerset area, mid century ranches and split levels, larger colonials in the newer Franklin Park developments, and older farmhouses out toward the canal and the rural western end. We adjust the prep and the approach to the house in front of us rather than treating every job the same.

Exterior painting in Franklin Township
Whether the house is vinyl sided in a Franklin Park development or older clapboard near the canal, exteriors here take humid summers and hard winters. We soft wash the surface first so paint goes onto something clean instead of onto mold, mildew and chalky residue. That step is usually the difference between a coat that holds for years and one that peels in two summers.
We paint siding, trim, shutters, doors, porches, railings and garages, and we spot prime bare wood before the finish coats. Townhouse and condo owners often need HOA approved colors and a contractor who works cleanly around neighbors, and we are used to both.

Interior painting in Franklin Township
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, stairwells and cabinets. We do full wall prep, patch and sand before painting, and we remove wallpaper when a room needs it. Furniture is moved or covered and floors are protected the whole time, then we clean up at the end of every day.
Benjamin Moore® is what we put on the wall. If fumes are a concern because of kids, pets or someone working from home, ask for the lower VOC lines. If you are stuck on colors, we offer color consulting so you are not guessing from a chip in the store.

The Franklin Township we work in
Franklin Township is really a collection of communities under one name. We paint in the Somerset section around Easton Avenue and Hamilton Street, in Franklin Park along Route 27, out toward Kingston and Griggstown near the Delaware and Raritan Canal, and in the neighborhoods near Elizabeth Avenue and the Six Mile Run area. It is a lot of ground, and we get calls from all of it.
The housing is genuinely diverse. Newer colonials and townhouses sit a short drive from postwar ranches, and both are close to older farmhouses that have stood for generations. That variety is exactly why prep matters so much here. A vinyl sided townhouse, an aluminum sided ranch and a wood clapboard farmhouse each need a different first step, and getting that first step right is what makes the finish last. After nearly two decades in the area we know which is which on sight.
Because we are based just west in Belle Mead, Franklin Township is an easy reach, and we treat it as core territory rather than an occasional job. Tell us your section of town when you call and we can talk through timing right away.

Franklin Township painting questions
Which parts of Franklin Township do you serve?
All of it. Somerset, Franklin Park, Kingston, Griggstown and the neighborhoods in between. We are based nearby in Belle Mead, so the whole township is core service area for us.
Do you paint townhouses and condos with HOA rules?
Yes. We paint plenty of townhouse and condo exteriors and are used to matching HOA approved colors and working cleanly around neighbors. Send us the approved color and we will spec it that way.
How long does a painting job take?
A single room is usually one to two days. A full interior runs about a week depending on size and how much prep the walls need. Exteriors depend on the weather and the condition of the siding, and we give you a realistic window when we quote.
Do you wash the house before painting the exterior?
Where it is needed, yes. Paint does not bond to mold, mildew or chalky residue. We soft wash first so the surface is clean and the coat lasts.
Can you handle small repairs before you paint?
Yes. We do window glazing, rotten trim, drywall patches and other small home repairs, so we can fix the surface before we paint it rather than painting over the problem.
