The companies at the bottom of the industry are trying to lure you with a cut-rate price quote, but don't be tricked. The way they do that is by not having insurance to cover their workers which puts you on the hook for any injury they sustain on your property and for any damage they might do, by not putting in the labor to prepare the surface which means even good paint well applied is going to peel, crack, and chip, by using the lowest grade paints which will fade in 6 months, or by watering down good paint so you get less coverage.
So you need a company you can trust to do all the prep work the right way, not to water down your paint, to use high grade paint, and to have full insurance coverage of its workers for your protection. Customers we called as research for this article pointed to Ocean County firm Jack Luther Custom Painting in West Creek NJ, including not merely homeowners but actual builders who have even more experience in identifying a painting company you can trust.
Jack Luther Custom Painting in West Creek NJ: Recommended By Experts
Jack Luther has 30 years in the industry and founded Jack Luther Custom Painting in 1986, serving both 
residential and commercial customersin Monmouth County and Ocean County NJ. Unlike companies who suspect there's a good chance you'll be disappointed with them and demand payment up front, Jack Luther is confident in his ability to give good results and so doesn't ask for money before doing the work. He tells us, "We don't take money up-front. It's all pay upon completion. It's something that separates us from those other companies that so many people had bad experiences with after the hurricane. We know we give good results so we can be confident about not asking for payment until it's all through."
He also insists on protecting his customers by having complete insurance coverage in the event of an injury or property damage, unlike companies who avoid having that so they can appear cheaper. But how much cheaper is that company when you lose your home due to a lawsuit, or when you have to pay out of pocket to repair damage?
Preparing the surface to be painted, known as "prep work", is key to getting a job that lasts for years. It includes filling holes and fixing surface defects, removing rot, sanding, caulking, and more. Even the best paint applied by the best company won't adhere right when enough prep work isn't done. Jack Luther agrees, "Ninety percent of painting is the prep work. You could be the best with the best product and if it's not prepped it's going to look terrible. We have a reputation for delivering a job that holds up for a really long time and our better prep work is a big part of that."
And customers who have used them attest to the better results from Jack Luther Custom Painting in West Creek NJ, most significantly actual builders who are more experienced than the average homeowner. Like Greg Milano of Milano builders who told us, "Jack has been painting for me since 1993. He's done a lot of high-end work for me. He's a good guy. He's qualified interior, exterior. I would not hesitate to hire him at all," and another we called named Paul Maina of Paul R Maina Custom Home Builders who said, "Jack Luther does paint work for us. He does a great job. We really like dealing with him as well. He makes sure the job looks good and we enjoy having him. Thumbs up all the way."
Customers of Jack Luther Custom Painting also reported getting high quality results at fair prices, like one named Deborah who said, "I have hired Jack Luther Custom Painting regularly for the past few years. He is reliable, professional and has a great crew who is very good at their job and clean. They do excellent painting work and in every way they are superior to any other company we have ever used and offer fair prices. I recommend them to anyone!"
An Ocean County resident, Jack Luther lives in West Creek NJ with his wife. He grew up helping his father who was handy in many trades. A four year stint in the Navy had Jack painting a lot on the ships he served on and soon after ending his service, he founded Jack Luther Custom Painting, a natural fit for this professional whose friends describe him as having superior attention to detail.
So we heard from customers who repeatedly told us that Ocean County firm Jack Luther Custom Painting was the one to trust for jobs that last with proper prep work, quality paint that isn't watered down, and full insurance coverage to protect the customer, and most significantly from customers who are also experts in the building trade, like one we called for this article named Lorraine at Malcolm Leigh Construction who told us, "We use Jack Luther and his company often as our painting subcontractor and if you're considering hiring their company for a job, we highly recommend their services."
