Painter in Somerset, NJ
Belle Mead Painting is a local painting and home improvement contractor working in Somerset, NJ 08873, the Somerset section of Franklin Township in Somerset County. Interior and exterior painting for split-levels, ranches and colonials, with proper prep, Benjamin Moore® paint and a 1 year warranty on the work.
Painting the Somerset section of Franklin Township
When people search for a painter in Somerset, they usually mean Somerset the place, the 08873 community that sits inside Franklin Township in Somerset County. It is a busy, established residential area off Easton Avenue and Route 27, not far from New Brunswick and Rutgers. That is the Somerset this page is about. If you are looking for someone to cover the whole county rather than this specific area, we have a separate page for painting across Somerset County.
We have painted homes across Somerset and the surrounding Franklin Township neighborhoods for years. The housing here leans toward mid-century split-levels, ranches, bi-levels and colonials, many built through the postwar decades, with a good number of townhomes and condos mixed in. Those homes have their own quirks, and we prep for them rather than treating every wall the same.

Easton Avenue, Route 27 and the neighborhoods
Somerset is spread through Franklin Township along corridors like Easton Avenue, Hamilton Street and Route 27, with residential streets branching off toward Colonial Park, the Cedar Grove area and the neighborhoods closer to New Brunswick. It is a well-established community with a real mix of housing ages and styles, from postwar developments to more recent townhome complexes.
We cover the Somerset 08873 area and the parts of Franklin Township around it. If your project touches the wider township or you own more than one property across the county, our Franklin Township and Somerset County pages spell out how far we travel and what we take on. For a single home in Somerset, this is the page.
Wherever the house sits, the approach does not change. We protect floors and landscaping, prep the surface properly, and leave the site clean at the end of every day.
Somerset housing, prepped before paint
The Somerset section of Franklin Township is mostly postwar housing, and those homes want specific things. Split-levels and bi-levels often have aluminum or vinyl siding that has gone chalky over the years, so we soft wash it first and let paint bond to a clean surface. Ranches and older colonials frequently have wood trim and fascia that need scraping, sanding and spot priming before a finish coat. Getting that prep right is the difference between a coat that lasts and one that peels in a couple of summers.
Inside, we handle everything from single rooms to whole-house repaints, plus the townhomes and condos common in the area. We patch and sand walls, remove dated wallpaper, and cut clean lines against ceilings and trim. Benjamin Moore® goes on the wall throughout, and we can spec lower VOC interior lines when there are kids, pets or someone working from home who would rather avoid the fumes.

Somerset painting questions
Is Somerset the same as Somerset County?
No, and it is worth clearing up. Somerset is a specific community, the 08873 section of Franklin Township, inside the larger Somerset County. This page is about painting a home in Somerset itself. If you want county-wide coverage, see our Somerset County page.
Do you cover the whole Somerset 08873 area?
Yes. We paint homes throughout the Somerset section of Franklin Township, along Easton Avenue, Hamilton Street and Route 27 and the residential streets branching off them. If you are near the edge, call and give us the street and we will confirm.
Can you paint aluminum and vinyl siding on a split-level?
Yes. A lot of Somerset homes are split-levels and bi-levels with aluminum or vinyl siding. We soft wash it first to remove the chalky residue, then use the right products so the new coat bonds and holds instead of peeling.
Do you paint townhomes and condos in Somerset?
We do. There are plenty of townhome and condo communities in the area, and we handle interiors from a single room to a full unit. Where an HOA has rules on exterior colors, we are happy to work within them.
Can you remove old wallpaper before painting?
Yes. Many of the older Somerset homes still have dated wallpaper. We strip it, patch and sand the walls so they read flat, then prime and paint with Benjamin Moore®, using lower VOC lines if fumes are a concern.
