About J W Custom Painting-Waterproofing

Your Local Experts in Waterproofing & Painting for Low-Rise Buildings

Built on Trust, Backed by Results

At J W Custom Painting-Waterproofing, we’re more than just a service provider — we’re a partner in protecting and enhancing your property. Founded on strong values of quality, honesty, and craftsmanship, we’ve earned a reputation across Ocean City, Seaford, and Laurel, DE for delivering dependable waterproofing and precision painting, particularly for residences and low-rise commercial buildings.

With decades of hands-on experience, our team brings expert knowledge and attention to detail to every project — whether sealing a vulnerable foundation or applying a smooth, decorative interior finish.

Our  Mission

Our mission is simple:
 Protect structures. Elevate appearances. Deliver peace of mind.

Every service we provide — from waterproof coatings to custom interior paintwork — is designed to add both value and longevity to your home or business. We never cut corners, never overpromise, and always stand behind our work.

What Sets Us Apart

Many contractors offer painting. Some offer waterproofing.
We specialize in both — and we do it right.

Here’s what makes J W Custom Painting-Waterproofing the right choice:

  • Waterproofing Is Our Core Specialty
    While others treat it as an add-on, we are waterproofing experts. We focus especially on low-rise buildings, including homes, duplexes, and smaller commercial properties — structures that are often overlooked but highly vulnerable to water damage.
  • Painting with Precision
    From textured wall finishes to eco-friendly coatings, our painting services are handled with the same care and professionalism we bring to waterproofing.
  • Customized Solutions
    No two properties are alike. We assess each project carefully, recommend the most effective materials and methods, and execute with excellence.
  • Local Knowledge, Local Pride
    We understand the weather, building types, and property needs unique to Delaware's coastal and inland communities — because we live and work here too.

Respect for Your Time & Space
Our crews are prompt, respectful, and tidy. We work around your schedule and leave your space clean and protected.

Our Team

We’re a small, skilled, and highly focused team. Every technician is trained in the latest application techniques for paint systems, waterproof membranes, sealants, primers, and coatings. We combine modern materials with time-tested craftsmanship to deliver work that lasts.

We don’t subcontract out jobs — when you hire J W Custom, you work directly with us. This allows for quality control, direct communication, and consistently high standards from start to finish.
