Frequently Asked Questions: Hiring a Painter in Easton PA and the Lehigh Valley
Published March 2026 - Joseph Assise III Painting & Wallpapering, Easton PA
We get a lot of the same questions before every estimate. That is a good thing - it means homeowners are doing their research before handing their home to someone. Here are the most common ones, answered straight.
How long have you been painting in the Lehigh Valley?
Joseph Assise III Painting and Wallpapering has been serving Easton, Palmer Township, and the surrounding Lehigh Valley since 2010. That is 15 years of residential and commercial projects across Northampton, Lehigh, Monroe, Carbon, and Bucks Counties in Pennsylvania plus Warren, Hunterdon, and Somerset Counties in New Jersey. Read more about our background.
Are you licensed and insured in Pennsylvania?
Yes. We hold a Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) license and carry full general liability and workers compensation insurance. We are also registered in New Jersey for work in Warren, Hunterdon, and Somerset Counties. We provide proof of insurance before any project starts - not after you ask twice.
Do you do wallpaper installation and removal?
Wallpaper installation and removal is a core specialty, not a side service. We install grasscloth, non-woven, traditional vinyl, peel-and-stick, and specialty decorative wallcoverings. We also remove old wallpaper from drywall and plaster surfaces using methods that protect the substrate. See our wallpaper installation service page for more detail.
What brands of paint do you use?
We work primarily with Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore product lines. For premium and luxury projects, we specify Fine Paints of Europe and Farrow and Ball. Product selection is based on the specific surface, application environment, and service tier chosen. We tell you exactly what is going on your home before we start.
Do you work in New Jersey?
Yes. We serve Phillipsburg, Washington, Hackettstown, Clinton, Flemington, Tewksbury, Bernardsville, and Bedminster along with surrounding communities in Warren, Hunterdon, and Somerset Counties. See our Phillipsburg NJ service page.
How do you handle color selection?
We offer professional color consultation as part of our service. That includes paint sample application on actual wall sections under your lighting conditions - not just chip comparison. For wallpaper projects, we assess the space, lighting, traffic patterns, and wall substrate before any material is purchased.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Yes. Our workmanship warranty is included in the written estimate. The specific terms vary by service tier and project type. We are not done with a job until the final walkthrough is complete and you are satisfied with the result.
What areas do you serve?
We serve a 50-mile radius from Easton PA covering Northampton, Lehigh, Monroe, Carbon, and Bucks Counties in Pennsylvania and Warren, Hunterdon, and Somerset Counties in New Jersey. That includes Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown, Nazareth, Stroudsburg, New Hope, Doylestown, Phillipsburg, Flemington, Clinton, Hackettstown, Bernardsville, and Bedminster among others. Contact us to confirm we serve your area.
How do I get a free estimate?
Book directly on our website or call us. We schedule an in-person walkthrough, assess the project, and provide a written three-option estimate so you can choose the service level that fits your project. No pressure. No mystery pricing.
