How we rank painters in Middletown

Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the painters category. We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.

Local conditions

Hiring painters in Middletown: what the local data says

  • 44% of homes in Monmouth County, NJ were built before 1970 and the median home dates to 1975. Paint in homes built before 1978 may contain lead, and federal EPA rules require renovation work that disturbs it to be done by an RRP certified firm, so ask to see the certification.
  • The median owner-occupied home in Monmouth County, NJ is valued at $674,100, a useful yardstick when weighing what to spend on a major project.
  • The typical last spring frost in Middletown is around March 31 and the first fall frost around November 22, roughly 236 frost-free days. Most exterior paint labels call for mild, dry days to apply and cure, so exterior jobs are best booked inside that window.

Common questions

Painters in Middletown: quick answers

How are the painters in Middletown ranked?

Each listing is scored on public signals we can check ourselves: whether the website is live and secure (HTTPS), whether it works on a phone, whether a phone number and website are published, and how closely the business matches the painters category. We do not collect customer reviews, so no star ratings or review counts appear here, and no business pays for placement.

How do I pick the best painter in Middletown?

Use this list to shortlist two or three painters, then read their Google reviews yourself, confirm license and insurance, and get written estimates before committing. The score here is a filter, not a verdict.

How do I verify a painter's license in New Jersey?

Licensing in New Jersey runs through the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. Before hiring anyone in Middletown, ask for their New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration number and verify it through the Division of Consumer Affairs license search before signing. Also confirm current liability insurance, and get the license number in writing on the estimate.

Which painters serve Middletown?

This page lists Betanzos Painting LLC, CertaPro and Voorhees & Crane Painting and Paper Hanging, in ranked order. All of them publish a phone number, so you can call directly.

When is the best time to book painters in Middletown?

Going by Middletown's own weather records (typical last spring frost around March 31, first fall frost around November 22), the usual windows are from about March 31 into early summer or early fall, before the first frost around November 22. Booking a few weeks ahead of those windows beats the rush.

What to look for when hiring a painter in Middletown

  • Ask for the Home Improvement Contractor Business (HICB) registration. In New Jersey, painters need it from the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs. Verify it at the official New Jersey license lookup before signing. Any home improvement contract over $500 must be in writing and show the contractor's registration number, and you can cancel it for any reason before midnight of the third business day after you receive your copy.
  • Written estimates. Any painter who won't put the scope in writing is a red flag.
  • Review quality, not just volume. Read the 3-star reviews, they're usually the most honest.
  • Local references. A painter who's done work in Middletown or Lincroft will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
