Princeton, NJ & Surrounding Areas
M&M Painting has served homeowners across Central New Jersey since 1995. Every project begins with thorough preparation, premium materials, and a crew that takes pride in the details — because a finish that lasts is built long before the brush hits the wall.
The M&M Difference
Most homeowners have had a contractor leave a mess, cut corners on prep, or simply not communicate well. We've built our entire reputation on being the opposite of that.
Before a drop of paint goes on the wall, we protect your furniture, floors, and trim. We do the prep work properly — patching, sanding, priming — because a lasting finish starts long before the brush hits the wall.
We clean up at the end of every single day. We answer your questions. We show up when we say we will. And when the job is done, your home looks better than you imagined and you feel good about the experience — not just the result.
How We Work
We believe homeowners deserve to know exactly what they're getting into before the work starts. Here's how every project runs — no surprises, no shortcuts.
We come to your home, walk through the project, and give you a clear, honest estimate. No pressure, no upselling — just a straight conversation about what your home needs and what it'll cost.
Before any paint is opened, we protect your furniture, floors, and fixtures. We patch cracks, sand surfaces, and prime where needed. This is what separates a lasting finish from one that starts failing in a year.
Our crew shows up on time, works cleanly, and communicates throughout. We use premium paints and apply them properly — the right number of coats, the right technique for each surface.
We do a thorough walkthrough with you when the job is complete. Everything is cleaned up, your home is back in order, and you're completely satisfied before we consider the job done.
What We Do
Interior or exterior, single room or whole house — we bring the same level of care and preparation to every job, regardless of size.
Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, trim work, ceilings. We prep every surface thoroughly, protect your belongings, and deliver clean lines and a finish that holds up beautifully for years.
Your home's exterior takes a beating from New Jersey weather. We power wash, scrape, prime, and caulk before a drop of paint is applied — so the result looks great and actually lasts.
Cracks, holes, water stains, old wallpaper removal — we handle all of it before we paint. A smooth, properly prepared surface is the foundation of every quality finish.
Updating a room, freshening up a space before a sale, or finally getting around to that project you've been putting off — we're happy to handle jobs of any scope.
Why M&M
Furniture moved and covered, floors protected, fixtures taped. Your home is treated with the same care we'd want for our own. Nothing gets damaged, nothing gets left messy.
We don't skip steps. Proper sanding, patching, priming, and caulking before every job — because the quality of the prep determines the quality of the finish, full stop.
We use top-quality paints and materials on every single job. Not because it's cheaper — it isn't — but because it's the only way to deliver a finish you'll still be happy with five years from now.
The Marino family has lived and worked in this community for 30 years. Our reputation is personal to us — every job we do, we do knowing it reflects our name.
We've been painting homes in Princeton and the surrounding communities since 1995. We're fully licensed and insured, and our customers come back to us — and send their neighbors our way — because the work speaks for itself. Ask us for references. We'll provide them without hesitation.
Our Story
M&M Painting was founded in 1995 by brothers Marino and Marino — two tradesmen who believed the work should be done right or not at all. The name M&M comes from their family name, and to this day the business is run by the same family with the same standards they started with.
Over the past three decades, we've painted hundreds of homes across Princeton, Lawrence, West Windsor, Montgomery, and the surrounding communities. Every one of those jobs was built on the same foundation: honest pricing, thorough preparation, quality materials, and a crew that respects the space they're working in.
When you call M&M, you're talking to the people who will actually show up at your home. There's no call center, no middlemen. We walk through your project with you personally, answer every question you have, and make sure you're confident in what's happening in your home from start to finish.
We're proud of the work we do and the relationships we've built in this community. We'd love the opportunity to earn your trust too.

Reviews
"I've been working with Chris and his crew for over 20 years and have observed one professional, beautiful project after another. I can't recommend them highly enough — you won't be disappointed with the level of care and quality they provide."
"Chris did a great job removing the old wallpaper and smoothing out the plaster before painting. Kept everything very clean during construction and even cleaned up between working days. Everything was done in a timely manner and he was very responsive to any questions we had."
