Oak Valley is a compact neighborhood of Deptford Township, built between the mid-1950s and 1963. It sits east of Mantua Road, between Ogden Station Road and College Boulevard, on land that was once farms, fruit orchards and the old Forest View Country Club, a golf course that closed during the Great Depression. Many streets carry college names, like Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Bucknell. The homes are single-family, with a median of about 1,400 square feet on lots near a fifth of an acre. After more than 60 years, plenty have been added onto, and original trim sits beside newer siding and windows. Blending old and new is a big part of painting here.
We take on interior painting for bedrooms, kitchens and baths, plus cabinet painting and drywall repair. Outside, we do exterior painting of siding and trim and refresh garage doors. Oak Valley is a small, close neighborhood, so we keep trucks tidy and cleanup quick on every street we work.
Painting Needs in Oak Valley
Additions that do not quite match
Over six decades, many Oak Valley homes have gained a family room, a second story or a new garage. Often the addition has different siding or trim than the original house. Paint is how you tie them together. We pick body and trim colors that work across both surfaces and prep each material the right way, so the house reads as one home.
Late 1950s interiors
With a median build year around 1959, many homes still have original closets, doors and trim, or remodels from the 1970s and 1980s. We fill old nail holes and gouges, repair drywall where walls were opened up, and repaint trim in a hard enamel. Fresh white trim and updated wall colors make a mid-century house feel clean and current.
Small kitchens, big impact
Homes around 1,400 square feet usually have modest kitchens. Replacing cabinets in a small space can mean tearing out more than you planned. Painting the cabinets you have changes the look with far less disruption. We degloss, prime with a bonding primer and finish with a cabinet enamel built to handle daily use.

Oak Valley Painting Questions
Can you make my addition and original house look like they match?
Usually it can. If the addition has paintable siding and trim, we use the same body and trim colors across both parts of the house. Different materials need different primers, so we prep each one correctly. The result is one consistent look from the street instead of an obvious add-on.
Is it worth painting cabinets in a small Oak Valley kitchen?
For many homeowners, yes. Painting keeps your layout, counters and plumbing in place, so the kitchen is back in use quickly. If your cabinets are solid wood or sturdy wood veneer, they usually take paint well. We will look at them during the estimate and tell you honestly if they are good candidates.
Do you paint homes on the college-named streets?
Every one of them. We work throughout Oak Valley, from the streets off Mantua Road to the blocks near College Boulevard and Ogden Station Road. Contact us for a free estimate and we will walk the house with you, talk through colors and write up the full scope.
How long will a new exterior paint job last on a 1950s Oak Valley house?
With good prep, most exterior paint on these homes holds up for several years before it needs attention. Original wood trim ages faster than newer siding, so trim often needs a fresh coat before the body does. Shady sides stay damp and wear sooner too. We use quality exterior products and prime bare wood, which is what stretches the time between repaints.
Can you repaint a faded garage door?
Yes, garage doors are one of the quickest exterior updates we do. Many Oak Valley homes picked up a garage with an addition, and the door has often faded or chalked. We wash it, sand glossy spots, prime bare metal or wood, and apply an exterior enamel. Matching the door to your trim color ties the garage to the original house.
My house still has its original 1959 doors and trim. Can they be painted white?
They can, and it is one of the best updates for a mid-century home. Old trim usually has dings, nail holes and layers of yellowed paint. We fill and sand it smooth, prime with a stain-blocking primer, and finish with a hard enamel that resists chipping. Interior doors get the same care. Crisp white trim makes original rooms feel fresh without replacing anything.
