PAINTING POWER IN BLACKWOOD
Painting Contractor in Blackwood
Blackwood started as Blackwoodtown, settled around 1750 by John Blackwood, a Scottish fuller who built mills at the head of Timber Creek. The railroad arrived in 1891, and Blackwood Lake was a summer resort from 1891 until 1932. Today Blackwood is a census-designated community within Gloucester Township and home to the main campus of Camden County College.
The 42-acre Blackwood Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1989, runs along the Black Horse Pike, Church and Elm streets and the Railroad avenues. Painting Power paints homes and businesses throughout Blackwood and the surrounding township.
LOCAL HOMES
Historic Center, Suburban Streets
Blackwood's older core has 19th-century buildings, including the 1856 Greek Revival and Italianate First Methodist Episcopal Church, alongside homes from many decades of later growth. Older properties need careful exterior prep on wood siding and trim. Newer homes and rentals near the college and the Black Horse Pike often call for efficient interior repaints and durable finishes.
Weather and Exterior Paint in Blackwood
Older wood siding, trim and window sashes expand and contract through humid South Jersey summers and freezing winters. That movement opens joints and cracks old paint. Lasting results on these homes come from scraping to sound paint, priming bare wood and re-caulking open seams. If your home was built before 1978, bring that up at the estimate: federal EPA lead-safe rules apply when old painted surfaces are disturbed.
