Cherry Hill grew up fast after World War II. Farm fields became neighborhoods like Woodcrest, where building started in 1955, and Kingston Estates, which filled in with split-levels between 1958 and 1965. Erlton is mostly small-lot Cape Cods and ranches from the 1950s. Barclay Farm, laid out by builder Bob Scarborough on land sold from the old Barclay farm, added larger colonials and split-levels on roomy lots. A lot of these houses still carry original wood trim, painted-over siding and kitchens nobody has touched in decades. For a mid-century house, fresh paint is one of the quickest ways to make it feel current again.
Our crew handles interior painting for split-level stairwells, paneled dens and tired kitchen cabinets. Outside, we take on exterior painting for siding, trim, shutters, garage doors and decks. Whether you live off Chapel Avenue, near Kings Highway or close to Evesham Road, every job starts with a free walkthrough and a written plan.
Painting Needs in Cherry Hill
Split-level stairwells and tall walls
Split-levels have short flights of stairs and walls that climb two floors at once. Those spots collect scuffs and are hard to reach with a roller from the floor. We set up ladders and planks safely, cover the steps, and cut clean lines where wall meets ceiling. A new color in the stairwell changes how the whole house feels the moment you walk in the door.
Mid-century trim and siding
Plenty of 1950s and 1960s houses here still wear their first wood trim, or siding that has been painted over again and again. Thick old layers crack and lift. We scrape the loose paint, sand the edges flat, prime bare wood and caulk open joints before a finish coat goes on. That prep is what lets new paint hold up through humid South Jersey summers.
Original kitchens and paneled dens
Estate sales in the older sections often turn up houses with original cabinets and wood paneling. Both can be painted. We clean off years of grease, degloss and prime cabinet doors and boxes so the finish grips, then lay down a hard enamel. Paneled rooms get a bonding primer first, and we can fill the grooves if you want a flat wall look.
Old shade trees and damp siding
Mature trees in the 1950s neighborhoods shade the north side of many houses. Siding there stays wet longer after rain and can grow mildew. We clean those areas before painting and use exterior coatings made to resist it. Gutters under heavy tree cover fade and peel too, and gutter painting is an easy add while our ladders are already up.

Cherry Hill Painting Questions
Can you paint the original kitchen cabinets in my 1960s Cherry Hill house?
Yes. Solid wood cabinets from that era usually take paint well. We take off doors and hardware, scrub away kitchen grease, sand, and prime with a bonding primer. Then we apply a durable enamel made for cabinets. Most homeowners keep the boxes and layout and simply change the color, which skips the mess of a full tear-out.
Can you paint the aluminum siding on an older split-level?
In most cases, yes. Old aluminum siding gets chalky and faded, and paint will not stick to that chalk. We wash it off, spot prime any bare metal, and apply a quality exterior acrylic. Dents and loose panels are a siding repair issue, so we will point those out during the estimate before any paint goes on.
Do you work in every part of Cherry Hill?
We do. That includes the older sections around Woodcrest and Erlton, the split-level streets of Kingston Estates, the bigger homes in Barclay Farm and the newer neighborhoods farther east. We come out for a free estimate so we can see your surfaces in person and give you a clear written scope.
When should I schedule exterior painting in Cherry Hill?
May through early October is the main window, but the shade trees matter. North facing siding under big trees dries slowly, so we paint those sides after a few dry days and save them for warm afternoons. Humid July weeks can slow curing, and we watch dew points closely. Fall is often the smoothest time, with mild days and fewer thunderstorms.
Can the wood paneling in our den be painted instead of ripped out?
It can, and the result is hard to tell from drywall if you want it that way. We wash the paneling, scuff sand the sheen off, and apply a bonding primer so the paint grips. Grooves can be left showing for a cottage feel or filled and sanded for a flat wall. Two coats of a durable finish follow. The room feels bigger and brighter without any demolition.
Do you paint gutters and fascia on homes under the old trees?
Yes, gutter painting comes up often in the 1950s neighborhoods. Years of leaf litter and shade leave gutters streaked, chalky and sometimes peeling along the fascia behind them. We clean the metal, remove any loose coating, prime bare spots and paint with a finish made for aluminum. Doing it on the same visit as the trim saves setting up the ladders twice.
