Preserving History: Rutgers Painting at the Crane House

The paint was failing on the Montclair Historical Society’s Israel Crane House.  Built in 1796, The Crane house needed careful attention, so hiring the right painting contractor was essential.  Rutgers Painting’s 22 years of painting expertise and 25 year warranty paint system was the society’s choice.

Work began this week with our crew carefully stripping away layers and layers of old, failing paint. The transformation has begun!  Find out more about the Israel Crane house: Montclairhistorical.org
