Founded by Ali Sameer in 2013, ARK was built on a simple promise: show up, do it right, and never leave until the customer is genuinely happy. Over a decade later, that promise still drives every project — from a single accent wall to a full home renovation.

ARK began in 2013, but the story starts earlier. Our founder, Ali Sameer, spent years working for other painting contractors across Central Jersey — and kept seeing the same frustrating pattern: rushed jobs, sloppy prep work, crews that disappeared without a walkthrough, and homeowners left wondering if they'd made a mistake.
He knew there was a better way. So he struck out on his own with a single truck, a handful of brushes, and a conviction that every project should end with a handshake and a genuinely happy customer. No shortcuts. No disappearing acts. Just quality work that speaks for itself.
That approach resonated. What started as Ali painting interiors by himself grew — through word of mouth and repeat business — into a full-service home improvement company with a crew that shares his obsession with getting the details right. Today we handle everything from interior painting and drywall repair to full-scale renovations, serving homeowners and businesses across Somerville, Edison, and throughout Central New Jersey.
What truly sets us apart? We don't subcontract our work to strangers. When you hire ARK, you get Ali's crew — the same people, the same standards, every time. Most of our projects come from clients who've used us before or told a neighbor about us. That kind of trust isn't built on clever marketing. It's built on showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind it.
These principles aren't just words on a wall — they're the foundation of every project we take on.
We show up on time, quote honestly, and deliver exactly what we promise. No shortcuts, no surprises.
We use premium paints and meticulous prep work so your finish looks flawless for years to come.
We treat your home or business with care — clean workspaces, covered furniture, and a spotless finish.
We're not happy until you're thrilled. Most of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals.
We exclusively use top-tier paints from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Behr — ensuring your finish looks rich and lasts for years.
Your time matters. We provide clear timelines upfront, arrive when we say we will, and complete projects on schedule — no dragging on for weeks.
Peace of mind comes standard. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers' comp — your property is protected from start to finish.
We leave your space cleaner than we found it. Floors covered, furniture protected, and a thorough cleanup after every day on site.
Detailed written estimates with no hidden fees. You'll know exactly what you're paying for before a single drop of paint touches your wall.
If you're not 100% satisfied, we'll make it right. Our reputation is built on happy clients — and we intend to keep it that way.
"Ark Painting transformed our dated 90s interior into a modern masterpiece. The team was professional, punctual, and the attention to detail was incredible. Our home has never looked this good."
