Any recommendations for a house painter (interior)? Thanks

The usual suspects:

Rutgers Painting (https://www.rutgerspermanentpainting.com/)
Wilbers Painting (http://wilberspainting.com/)
Olger Fallas (http://www.olgerfallaspainting.com/)
World Of Colors (haven't seen them around in a while)

If it's not a big job, maybe a handy man might be cheaper option.

Wilbers did our interior in 2019. They weren't the cheapest but those dudes are craftsmen. The result was stunning!

Fallas Painting Group (new name for Olger Fallas) (973.762.6700) recently did a great exterior paint job for us and interior job several years ago for a neighbor.

Olger Fallas did a fine job on our exterior a few years ago.

I will say that it is crucial to set expectations.

Watching from afar, it seems that most Rutgers jobs include a complete removal of old paint. I thought that was the local standard.

We had re-sided, removed the gutters, and I assumed that the facia (which were not replaced) would be scraped and sanded to bare wood, like Rutgers seems to do, at a price.

O-F did not make that assumption. Which we discussed and met in the middle.
