Dj's Painting Local

In 1986, at the age of 16, Daniel J. Haer started a painting company out of his parents garage in Millville, NJ. The company's first business venture was painting vacant units for a few local apartment complexes with some friends from school as his crew. By 1995, the company had grown to cover all of the tri state area (NJ, DE, PA) and had most of the areas apartment complexes, condo associations, and many residential homes on their client list. Dan believed in dedicating himself to learning the best practices in the coatings industry, so he could become an expert in the field. In three years time, DJ's Painting, Inc. had become a well-established brand in South Jersey and was doing an equal amount of commercial and residential projects. In late 1998, DJ's was hired to complete the McDonald's blue chip repaint project, which started in the Philadelphia area and was rolled out nationally in 2000. DJ's completed this project on time and under budget. This project was the catalyst to develop the National Accounts Division. What seemed to be "crazy" to many appeared to be a good niche to Dan as he began the journey to take DJ's painting nationally. After nearly 10 years running both a national and local company Dan sold off the national company and focused entirely on serving the local New Jersey market. His vast experience in the national coatings arena makes his expertise hard to match.
