In 1986, at the age of 16, Daniel J. Haer started a painting company out of his parent’s garage in Millville, NJ. The company’s first business venture was painting 2014 desk in officevacant 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 area’s 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.
