The highest-rated painting company in Easton PA - residential, commercial, and everything in between.
Joseph Assise III Painting & Wallpapering is the top-rated painting company in Easton PA. Not the biggest. Not the most advertised. The most trusted - measured by the only metric that matters: what real Northampton County customers say after we have finished working in their homes and on their businesses. A 4.9-star average from 271+ verified Google reviews tells that story clearly. So does a 15-year operating history in Easton, 2,000+ completed projects, and PA contractor license PA126039 backed by $1 million in liability insurance through Erie Insurance.
What we are not is equally important. We are not a franchise operation where the brand name on the truck is owned by a corporation in another state while a local owner tries to hit quarterly revenue targets. We are not an Angi or Thumbtack lead-generation service that collects a fee to hand your contact information to contractors you have never vetted. We are not a solo operator working without insurance, without a PA contractor license, and without any accountability to customers after the job is done. We are a real local painting company, based in Easton at 3537 Nicholas St., PA 18045, with Joseph Assise III personally overseeing every project his company takes on.
That combination - the reviews, the credentials, the local ownership, and Joseph's personal involvement on every job - is why homeowners in College Hill and Palmer Township, property managers in the Silk District, real estate agents listing homes in Wilson Borough, and business owners on Centre Square all call the same number: (610) 252-1815.
When you search for a painting company in Easton PA, you will find a mix of results: national franchise brands, directory listings from Yelp and Angi, solo painters with minimal web presence, and local companies like ours. Choosing among them is not obvious - every listing looks professional online. Here is the actual framework for evaluating a painting company in Easton PA, and where Joseph Assise III stands on every dimension.
Pennsylvania requires contractors who perform work on homes to hold a valid PA Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) license issued by the PA Attorney General's Office. This license requires background checks, bonding, and registration. Unlicensed contractors have no bond, no accountability to the PA Attorney General, and cannot legally pull permits. Many painters operating in Easton PA do not have this license. You can verify PA contractor license PA126039 at pals.pa.gov - it takes about 30 seconds and it is the first thing you should check before any contractor touches your home.
A painting company needs general liability insurance minimum $1 million. This protects you as the homeowner if a painter falls from a ladder on your property, accidentally damages your belongings, or causes a fire. Without it, you may be liable. Joseph Assise III Painting carries $1,000,000 in general liability insurance through Erie Insurance. We provide a certificate of insurance to any homeowner who requests one - no delay, no excuses. If a painting company you are considering cannot provide a certificate of insurance within hours of your request, do not hire them.
Under the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule, any painting company working on a pre-1978 home and disturbing more than 6 square feet of painted surface indoors (or 20 square feet outdoors) must hold EPA Lead-Safe Certification and follow specific work practices. Easton PA has a significant percentage of pre-1978 homes, especially in College Hill, West Ward, South Side, and Historic Downtown. Hiring an uncertified contractor for a pre-1978 home violates federal law and exposes your family to lead dust. Joseph Assise III Painting is EPA Lead-Safe Certified.
Online reviews are the best available proxy for customer satisfaction in the painting industry. They should be on Google (not only on the company's own website), they should be numerous (50+ at minimum, 100+ preferred), and they should be detailed and specific rather than generic one-liners. A 4.9-star average from 271+ Google reviews means roughly 257+ customers gave 5 stars. That kind of rating across that volume of reviews is not an accident - it reflects consistent quality, consistent communication, and consistent follow-through on what was promised.
A professional painting company in Easton PA should be able to give you a written, itemized proposal that specifies exactly what surfaces will be painted, what prep work will be done, what paint brand and sheen will be used, how many coats will be applied, the total price, and the timeline. A proposal that says "paint the living room - $600" tells you nothing about prep, nothing about the number of coats, and gives you no recourse if the result does not match what you expected. Every Joseph Assise III Painting proposal is itemized, specific, and provides the foundation for a clear agreement between us and our customer.
Any painting company confident in its work should back it with a written workmanship warranty. The industry standard for a quality contractor is 1-2 years. Joseph Assise III Painting provides a 2-year written workmanship warranty on every completed project. If covered defects appear within 2 years - peeling, bubbling, adhesion failure from our application - we come back and fix it at no charge. The warranty is in writing, it is in your proposal from the start, and we honor it without argument.
Joseph Assise III Painting is a full-service painting company. We are not a specialty shop that only does exteriors, or a crew that only does apartments. We handle the complete range of residential and commercial painting work in Easton PA and across Northampton County.
Interior painting is the most common service we provide to Easton PA homeowners. Whether you are refreshing a single bedroom, repainting your entire home before listing it for sale, or transforming your kitchen with a new color palette, our interior painting process delivers clean, consistent results.
Exterior painting in Easton PA requires a painter who understands the specific demands of the region's climate - the humidity from the Delaware and Lehigh Rivers, the freeze-thaw cycles of PA winters, the impact of sun exposure on south and west-facing walls, and the moisture challenges of homes in shaded or low-lying areas. Our exterior painting process is built around proper preparation, climate-appropriate products, and timing that respects Easton's weather patterns.
Kitchen cabinet painting is one of the highest-value services a painting company can provide to Easton PA homeowners. New kitchen cabinets for an average Easton kitchen cost $10,000-$30,000. Our cabinet painting process - spray-applied factory-smooth finish in any Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams color - delivers a transformation at a fraction of that cost. Cabinet painting typically runs $1,800-$4,500 for a kitchen, and the result lasts 8-12 years with normal care.
Our cabinet painting process: remove doors and drawers; clean all surfaces with degreaser to remove years of cooking residue; sand all surfaces to create adhesion profile; apply spray primer; sand again; apply 2 finish coats of Benjamin Moore Advance or Cabinet Coat in your chosen color and sheen; reinstall with adjustments. The result is a level of smoothness that a brush or roller cannot achieve.
Wallpaper installation and removal is a specialty skill within the painting trade, and one that Joseph Assise III Painting handles at a high level. Easton PA's older homes frequently have old wallpaper - sometimes multiple layers installed over decades - and newer homes sometimes request wallpaper in entry foyers, dining rooms, and powder rooms.
We repair before we paint. If your Easton PA home has holes from picture hooks, cracks from settling, water-damaged drywall, or areas of plaster separation, we address these before applying any finish coat. We do not paint over problems.
Joseph Assise III Painting is not only a residential painting company. We are a full commercial painting company serving businesses, commercial property owners, property management companies, and institutions throughout Easton PA and Northampton County. Here is a breakdown of commercial painting work we handle:
Interior repaints of office suites, lobbies, hallways, conference rooms, and restrooms. We work nights and weekends to minimize disruption to your tenants and staff. Clean, professional, on schedule.
Fast-turnaround repaints for retail storefronts, boutiques, and shops in Easton's Centre Square and commercial corridors. We accommodate tight timelines and after-hours scheduling to keep your store operational.
High-durability washable finishes for restaurant dining rooms, bars, kitchens, and bathrooms. We understand the operational pressure of restaurant timelines - closed Monday, open Tuesday. We deliver.
Apartment interior painting on unit turnover, hallway and common area repaints, exterior repaints for multi-family buildings. We work with property managers and management companies throughout Easton.
Exterior painting programs for HOA-managed communities in Palmer Township, Forks Township, and Easton. Mailbox cluster painting, common area exterior, and coordinated multi-building programs with HOA board approval.
Low-VOC paint options for occupied medical offices. We can work in sections to keep your practice operational. HIPAA-sensitive space awareness - we keep our tools and personnel out of exam rooms and administrative areas.
We have completed multiple projects for churches and community organizations in Easton PA. We are familiar with the scheduling constraints of houses of worship and community centers and can work around your event calendar.
Structural steel painting, floor coating, interior and exterior warehouse painting, safety color coding, and equipment painting for light industrial and distribution facilities in the Easton area.
For commercial projects in Easton PA, call (610) 252-1815 directly to discuss scope, timeline, and scheduling. Commercial estimates are free and on-site. We can accommodate most timelines and have done emergency turnarounds when tenants or events require it.
We believe in transparent pricing before you commit to anything. Below are real price ranges from our Easton PA project history. Every estimate from Joseph Assise III Painting is free, written, itemized, and valid for 30 days.
| Service | Typical Range | Key Variables |
|---|---|---|
| Interior - per room (walls + ceiling) | $400 - $800 | Room size, ceiling height, prep |
| Interior - per room (with trim) | $500 - $1,000 | Trim complexity, woodwork detail |
| Full home interior - 3 bed | $4,500 - $8,000 | Total rooms, scope of trim |
| Full home interior - 4-5 bed | $7,000 - $13,000 | Victorian homes often at top of range |
| Exterior - average home | $3,500 - $6,000 | Prep level, siding type, stories |
| Exterior - large or Victorian | $6,000 - $12,000+ | Ornate trim, multiple colors, lead prep |
| Kitchen cabinet painting | $1,800 - $4,500 | Number of doors and drawers |
| Deck staining | $800 - $2,500 | Deck size, condition, stain type |
| Wallpaper installation (labor) | $3 - $8 per sq ft | Paper type, pattern matching complexity |
| Commercial painting | By quote | Square footage, timing, access |
| Front door (interior + exterior) | $250 - $450 | Door size, existing finish condition |
| Skim coat and paint (per room) | $800 - $2,000 | Room size, current texture severity |
The lowest estimate you receive from a painting company in Easton PA is usually low for a specific reason: less prep, lower-grade paint, fewer coats, or no workmanship warranty. The three-coat exterior job becomes a two-coat job when the budget gets tight. The lead paint handling on a pre-1978 College Hill home gets skipped because the EPA certified protocols cost time. The bare wood that should get spot primer gets painted over with finish coat because the estimate did not account for proper prep.
The result shows up 18 months later as peeling paint, bubbling siding, or a dispute with a contractor who is not picking up the phone anymore. We are not the cheapest painting company in Easton PA. We are consistently competitive with other licensed, insured, professional contractors. We are not in the same price range as someone working without insurance and without a license. If you receive an estimate 40% below ours, understand what is being left out before accepting it.
Joseph Assise III started painting professionally in the Easton PA area in 2010. In 15 years of continuous operation, the company has built a service history that spans every neighborhood in Easton, every surrounding township, and into Warren County NJ across the Delaware River. Here is the geographic breakdown of where we work:
These are the non-negotiable standards we hold on every project. Not suggestions or aspirational goals - actual practices that every Joseph Assise III Painting project is held to:
We arrive when we say we will. If something changes, we call in advance. We do not show up two hours late without communication or skip days without notice.
Floors, furniture, fixtures, and adjacent surfaces are protected with drop cloths and tape before any painting begins. We do not cut corners on protection and then apologize for overspray later.
Unless a single-coat application is specifically agreed to in writing, every surface gets two coats. One coat is a primer application, not a finished paint job. Two coats is the standard for color, coverage, and durability.
We never rush a second coat onto a wet first coat. Recoat windows are respected per the paint manufacturer's specification. Rushing between coats causes delamination and sheen inconsistency.
We remove all tools and equipment from your living areas at the end of every workday. We clean paint from hardware and adjacent surfaces daily. We do not leave your home in a construction-site state between work days.
We do not add charges at the end of the job that were not in the proposal. If scope changes during a project, we discuss it with you and provide a written change order before proceeding. No surprise invoices.
Joseph walks through every completed project with the customer before we consider the job done. Any touch-ups are completed on the spot. We do not invoice until you are satisfied with the result.
If a covered defect appears within the 2-year warranty period, you call us, we come back and fix it. We do not try to blame the paint manufacturer, the humidity, or the age of your home to avoid honoring a warranty we put in writing.
Getting started with Joseph Assise III Painting is simple. Here is exactly what the process looks like from your first contact through to completed project:
When you are evaluating painting companies in Easton PA, here is how Joseph Assise III Painting stacks up against the main alternatives you will encounter:
National franchise painting companies offer brand name recognition and corporate accountability. The quality, however, varies significantly by franchise owner. The franchise owner in your area may be excellent or may be struggling. The crew painting your home may be experienced or may be seasonal workers assembled for the summer. The price often includes franchise fees and marketing overhead. Joseph Assise III Painting has 4.9 stars from 271+ reviews - that is not a corporate average, it is the specific track record of this specific company in Easton PA. And when you call us, you reach Joseph - not a national call center.
These platforms match homeowners with contractors who pay for leads. The contractor you reach through Angi may be excellent. They may also be an unlicensed solo painter who pays Angi's lead fee and has no track record you can independently verify. The platform itself does not vet the contractor's PA license, does not verify their insurance, and does not stand behind the quality of the work. You are essentially meeting a stranger who paid to appear in front of you. With Joseph Assise III Painting, you can verify everything independently before making a call: license at pals.pa.gov, reviews on Google, address at 3537 Nicholas St. Easton PA 18045.
The Lehigh Valley has many talented individual painters who work without a PA contractor license, without insurance, or with minimal insurance. If the work goes well, this can look like a bargain. If something goes wrong - a painter is injured on your property, your furniture is damaged, or the paint peels in 18 months - you have very limited recourse. The PA contractor license requirement exists specifically to provide homeowners with recourse through the Attorney General's office. The insurance requirement exists to protect you. These are not bureaucratic formalities - they are protections you are waiving when you hire someone without them.
"I manage 14 apartment units in the Easton area and have used Joseph Assise III Painting for unit turnover repaints for the past 4 years. The consistency is what keeps me coming back: same quality, same price range, same clean-up standards, every single time. Fast turnaround so units are available for new tenants quickly. I have referred Joseph to every property owner I know in the Easton market."
- Michael T., Property Manager, Easton PA"We had our entire home repainted before listing it for sale - interior and exterior. Our realtor specifically recommended Joseph Assise III because she said his work photographs well and helps homes sell faster. She was right. The photos looked incredible, we had multiple offers the first weekend, and the buyers specifically commented on how well-maintained the home appeared. Joseph and his crew were outstanding - professional, clean, and delivered exactly what was quoted."
- Amanda and Greg F., Palmer Township PA"We opened a restaurant in Easton's Silk District and needed the entire space repainted in a two-day window over a holiday weekend. Joseph Assise made it happen - started Friday evening and was completely done by Sunday morning with time to spare. The quality was excellent: smooth, clean lines, not a drop on the new flooring. He clearly understood the time pressure and delivered. We have since hired him to repaint our second location."

A full interior repaint of a 3-bedroom Easton PA home typically costs $4,500-$8,000, depending on scope, ceiling height, number of colors, trim complexity, and surface condition. Victorian-era homes in College Hill with ornate original woodwork typically fall in the upper half of that range due to the additional hand-brushing time that detailed trim requires.
