Why Choose a Lived-In Home Specialist?

Not new construction. Not flips. Real homes where real families live.

Unlike painters who focus on empty new construction, I specialize in refreshing historic homes where families are actively living. I understand the unique challenges of working in Merchantville's established neighborhoods—homes with plaster walls, original trim, and architectural details that require careful, respectful treatment.

Recommendations that work with your existing furniture and lighting

Whether you're updating your Merchantville home's dated finishes or refreshing tired walls and trim, I approach every project as a lived-in space that deserves respect and care.

Common Interior Features:

Commonly 9-10ft on the first floor of larger homes, 8ft in bungalows and on second floors.

Overwhelmingly plaster and lath. Finding a home without original plaster is rare.

High quality, original stained woodwork is a key feature. Much of it remains unpainted. Ornate Victorian and sturdy Craftsman styles are prevalent.

Kitchens are typically smaller and have been remodeled. Original butler's pantries can still be found in some of the larger homes.

Strong emphasis on preservation. The dominant trend is to keep original stained trim and choose wall colors that make it stand out. Painting trim is less common here than in surrounding towns.
