PAINTING POWER IN MERCHANTVILLE
Painting Services in Merchantville
Merchantville, a borough of about 0.6 square miles, got its name in 1857 from four Philadelphia merchants who bought land here to develop. After the railroad opened in 1867, U.S. Senator Alexander G. Cattell laid out building lots in 1869, and that plan became the Cattell Tract, the heart of Merchantville's Victorian commuter suburb.
The Cattell Tract Historic District was listed on the National Register in 1994, and the Oaks Historic District, with early-20th-century revival-style homes, followed in 1997. Painting Power paints homes and small businesses throughout the borough.
LOCAL HOMES
Gothic Revival, Second Empire and Queen Anne Homes
Merchantville's streets are lined with Gothic Revival, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Shingle Style and Colonial Revival houses. They have steep gables, mansard roofs, brackets, porches and detailed trim that look best with a carefully placed multi-color scheme. On homes this old, the prep matters most: scraping, sanding, priming bare wood and caulking, done with lead-safe practices where paint predates 1978.
Weather and Exterior Paint in Merchantville
Historic homes often have many layers of old paint, original wood details and windows that need patient prep. Humid summers and winter freeze-thaw cycles show up first as cracking and peeling on the sunny and wet sides. We plan scraping, sanding, priming and caulking around each surface. For homes built before 1978, EPA lead-safe work rules apply when painted surfaces are disturbed, so tell us the age of the house when you call.

LOCAL PAINTING FAQ
Questions About Painting in Merchantville
Can you paint a Victorian home with several trim colors?
Yes. We'll talk through placing body, trim and accent colors and can paint samples before you decide. Detailed work takes longer, and we build that into the schedule.
Do you follow lead-safe practices on old homes?
Homes built before 1978 fall under federal EPA lead-safe rules when painted surfaces are disturbed. Tell us your home's age so we can plan the prep correctly.
Do you paint interiors in older Merchantville homes?
Yes. We repair plaster, refresh trim and doors, and protect original woodwork you want to keep unpainted.
