Second-generation, owner-operated painting services in Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Voorhees, and all of South Jersey

Why I Love What I Do
Hi, I'm Nicholas Nagle—the owner, lead painter, and the person you'll work with from start to finish at Happy Home Painter.
I grew up watching my mom, Cheryl, build her painting business one satisfied customer at a time. As a kid, I'd tag along on jobs, learning the craft and seeing firsthand what it takes to treat people's homes with respect and deliver quality they can trust.
What I love most about painting is the transformation—taking something worn or outdated and making it feel new again. My favorite projects are staircases (I could tape and caulk stair treads all day!), because they're the heart of a home and demand meticulous attention to every detail.
In 2025, I launched Happy Home Painter to continue the family tradition with my own vision: giving every client the same personal, stress-free experience I learned from my mom, with the quality and care I'd want in my own home.
"Painting isn't just about changing colors—it's about transforming how you feel when you walk into your home."
From Cheryl & Son to Happy Home Painter: Continuing 25+ Years of Excellence
A legacy of quality, trust, and community built over decades
Early Years - Growing Up in Paint
The Foundation
My love for painting started young, watching my mom, Cheryl, build her business one happy customer at a time. I grew up surrounded by paint cans, drop cloths, and the satisfaction of seeing a home transform.
Those childhood memories of helping on jobs—learning how to properly prep a wall, the importance of clean lines, and most importantly, how to treat every client's home with respect—shaped everything I know about this craft today.
2017 - Partnering with Mom
Building Together
In 2017, I officially joined my mom as a partner in Cheryl & Son Painting. Working side-by-side, I learned not just the hands-on craft, but also what it takes to run a quality painting business—scheduling, customer communication, material selection, and the business systems that keep everything running smoothly.
Together, we served South Jersey communities with care and professionalism, building on the 25+ years of reputation and customer relationships my mom had established throughout Camden and Gloucester Counties.
2025 - A New Chapter
Happy Home Painter is Born
In 2025, I launched Happy Home Painter to carry forward the same values and dedication that defined Cheryl & Son. The name changed, but the commitment to quality, the respect for clients' homes, and the personal touch remained exactly the same.
I'm proud to continue serving the communities my mom built relationships with for over two decades—from Cherry Hill to Haddonfield, Voorhees to Washington Township. I'm building my own legacy while honoring the foundation she created, one satisfied customer at a time.
