We are pleased with the job that was performed by Rutgers Painting. The painters were kind and considerate and the project manager kept us informed throughout the process. They were punctual and kept the workplace clean. Calvary Lutheran Church, Cranford (NJ) read more

Save your money. We had made an order to stain our home's front door. What was supposed to be a single day job, turned into a week job with complete disaster (door off hinge over night and they broke the door's lock). However, the job came out absolutely stunning. But lasted only 3 months, before it started FLAKING AWAY. I went to Rutgers paint to have them look at it, and they told me the manager was not available, but they would leave the message. I received no phone call or visit. Went back, same response. What did I get? Nothing. Terrible. If 0 stars were an option, I'd give them that. read more

Rutgers did a good job on the exterior of our house, so we hired them again for interior work. Yikes! Messy beyond belief, when they had been so meticulous outside. Thought maybe they outsourced the interior work, who knows. Paint immediately began to flake and peel; though they honor their warranty, it's a real inconvenience to chase them and have the work repaired. Also had issues with the exterior work --stains bleeding through. Again, they will honor the warranty but it's a hassle. Will not work with them again. read more

We've been meaning to paint our house for the past 3 years. After more than 12 years since the last paint job, our house was starting to look like a haunted house. We looked into a few companies but didn't feel comfortable with their pitches. What I liked about Rutgers is the type of paint they use. They explained the process used and the difference in their permanent paint. With that paint and process, they could offer me a 15 year warranty. After hearing horror stories about peeling paint shortly after the expiration of the warranty, I wanted the security of 15 years. I obviously don't like going through the painting process which is probably why it took me more than 12 years to finally commit to it this time. So, feeling secure for 15 years sounds stress-free. There is a fair amount of detailed woodwork on parts of the house, which added a day for the prep work. In total, the paint job took about 2 weeks. I'm not sure if that's a normal amount of time in the professional painting world, but I don't care. What was important to me is that they did right. If it wasn't raining, the guys would be out here from about 9am to 6pm. They worked hard and took pride in their work. Most of them are Costa Ricans so I would talk to them in Spanish. A couple of times I asked them a question and, after answering, they took me around the house showing me the detailed painting work they just did and were beaming like a couple of school kids who just won a spelling bee. The house looks great! We started receiving compliments on it before the work was even done. I also feel good knowing it will look like this for at least 15 years since any touch up work will be done by Rutgers. Bottom line: if you want a great paint job for the long term, Rutgers is a great choice. But, understand that luxury comes at a premium because the permanent paint costs more than the regular paint. But this is cheaper than having to pay for 2 regular paint jobs in 15 years, AND it will give you peace of mind! Perfect fit for what I wanted. read more

We had a very positive experience having Rutgers Painting paint our home. We received estimates from multiple companies and carefully selected Rutgers for our project which included painting the complete interior and exterior of our home. We were very pleased with the speed with which we received their estimate, fair pricing, good advice and prompt communication with Donald who managed our project. Every step of the way, Marcos and Hilber did a great job on our house. Their high quality work, attention to detail, amazing work ethic and friendliness were all very much appreciated. I look forward to using Rutgers Painting again in the future. read more

Purchased a new home in 2017. I have been waiting for the day I get to FINALLY change the color of my gross forest green home painted in 1970. Fast forward to the present and after some improvements, it was time to look for a painting company to paint the exterior of my home. I got a few quotes but decided on going with Kevin and his team at Rutgers Painting. The estimator was fair and knowledgeable and never upsold me. Prices were competitive so it was a no brainer. The job came out stunning. It was done way faster than I thought would happen. Less than 2 weeks and that was WITH the 4th of July, two Sundays, and a rain day for a 2,200 sq ft home. I had no problem with keeping communication open throughout the project and the foreman worked with me every day to make sure everything was how I wanted it. The guys arrived on time and stayed a lot later than most would have and wouldn't leave until they cleaned up after themselves and left it as if no one was there. It's actually motivating to see how hard people can work. Talk about professionals from start to finish. Zero regrets. read more

We had an excellent experience using Rutgers to paint our house. Kevin Sheridan was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in explaining the process for preparing and painting the house. Miguel, the foreman, did a great job of keeping us informed throughout the process. We could not be happier with the quality of the carpentry work and the paint job. I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin and his team! read more

I might have posted a decent review of Rutgers were it not for their terrible customer service and poor communication. Throughout the job - whole house exterior - they failed to give notice of what they needed. So there were multiple delays and last minute requests that prolonged the work. When a problem arose the foreman on the job kept saying he'd fix it, & when days passed without action and I called again, he'd tell me he'd get back to me; when I called management they graciously said they'd make sure it was fixed by the end of the day - & did nothing. Their straight-up bold faced lies kicked this review down a few stars. The paint job looks ok, a few days after the end of the work, but these guys are so full of lies and smarmy BS that I don't trust any of their work. read more

Rutgers was recommended by a friend so we set up an appointment for an estimate. James was very professional ,curteous, and didnt seem to mind all the details i was concerned with. The crew worked very meticulously throughout the job. All our questions were answered and concerns addressed without a fuss. The crew even came back the day after i called, to paint two shutters that had not been delivered yet at the time of the job! read more

These guys are great. They did a really nice job and cleaned up perfectly. They did both the inside and the outside of our house (2 jobs, one year apart) read more

We just used Rutgers Painting for the interior of our home. The final product was great. They did a thought final walk-through and completed touch-ups that day. Their pricing is very reasonable and will use their services again when we paint the outside of our home. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because of some initial miscommunications, but once resolved all issues were handled promptly and we were kept informed of all activity in the home. - would recommend asking for Donald. read more

Rutgers painted my house 7 or 8 years ago and was so happy with their work I re-hired them again this year. They communicated well, worked fast, cleaned up after the job and worked extra hard to satisfy my needs. The house looks great and their price was very competitive. I will use them again and refer them to my neighbors! read more

We used Rutgers for regular house painting about 8 or 9 years ago. I called them back when there was about two months left on the warranty and they came out and touched up everything and it lasted many more years before I finally had to hire them again. I went with the permanent paint option and it survived one of the worst winters in memory without showing any wear. They were very professional and outside of weather delays beyond their control, they kept their word and got the job done when we asked for it. read more

I highly recommend Rutgers Permanent Painting. Our home needed a pretty extensive sand and paint job as it was at least 13 years since it had been painted. After getting a few estimates this Summer we decided to choose Rutgers whose pricing was competitive and offered a longer warranty than other painters. Kevin, the owner was not only helpful with color advice but also very responsive to any concerns or questions we had throughout the entire process. In addition, Marco, the foreman of the job and staff were so meticulous and neat that what could have been a stressful time was actually a pleasant experience. I cannot say enough how thrilled we are with the result of the job that was done and still get compliments on a regular basis about how great our house looks. Not only does Rutgers do a top notch job but it also gives back, which says a lot about a company. read more

Rutgers did not paint according to what was stipulated in the contract. Spoke to 2 estimators about what I wanted done plus it was written in the contract and they still got it wrong. One of the workers objected to having complete the agreed upon job but was quickly corrected by the forman. I was charged 29.99 for a can of paint- went on line to check and the same paint was for sale at 19.99. They left the place very messy- paint chips all over the place which took me over an hour to clean up.Workers are very friendly but they said they were subcontractors. Would not recommend Rutgers. read more
