About LS Improvements
Owner-led painting contractor based in Nutley, NJ — serving Essex, Union, Passaic, and Bergen counties since 2018.
Direct From the Owner, Start to Finish
LS Improvements started in 2018 with a simple idea: Northern NJ homeowners deserve a painter who shows up, communicates clearly, and hands off a finished job that looks better than the estimate described.
L. Smith, founder and lead painter, walks every project personally. From the first on-site estimate to the final walkthrough, there's no sales rep hand-off, no subcontractor surprises, and no communication gaps. You call the person who's going to paint your house.
After more than a decade of residential painting across Essex, Union, Passaic, and Bergen counties, the business has grown through referrals and repeat work — pre-sale refreshes, whole-home interiors, Montclair Victorians, Bloomfield plaster repairs, and tenant-turnover portfolios. The common thread is the same careful prep and direct owner relationship on every job.
