Our Reviews
"I cannot say anything bad about Randy and his company. The crew that came out were always on time and professional in every way. They did a fantastic job sealing and painting my two old buildings ( one dating back to the early 1900's). They were very respectful to me and my property. I will definitely use this company again. Outstanding is the worst I can say about them. Simply the best." - Pat M.
"Randy did an excellent job painting our front door. Additionally, he helped with reinstalling the door after he delivered it. Professional, prompt and courteous. I highly recommend R J painting and decorating." - David S.
"Randy came and gave us an estimate that was very reasonable. They were able to come in a time frame that fit our schedule. His brother Jack and crew showed up on the date appointed and on time. They completed our living room and dining room walls and ceilings in 2.5 days. They were very thorough from prep through cleanup and the finished product looks great! Our house is 110 years old with lots of wood wainscoting--they got nary a drop on any of it. They were responsive to our needs and provided great value for the price. We would highly recommend RJ Painting& Decorating for your next painting project." - Frank B.
"Wow! Just wow! So much better than I could have ever imagined. Randy and his crew were amazing. They were very respectful of my property (I have a lot of plants around my house). Very polite gentlemen who showed up on time every day, cleaned up after themselves each night and put everything back in its place (outdoor cameras, lights, etc) when the job was done. Attention to detail is very important to me and they didn’t disappoint!" - Lori G.
"Randy is conscientious and communicative. Lots of people paint but it’s obvious that these guys have put in the time and experience to understand their craft and it shows in the quality of their work. I’ve had them do everything from full exterior paint jobs to detailed interior work. Do yourself a favor and get these guys on the books for you next paint project!" - Brian M.
"Just had the inside of our Condo repainted and it looks great! Jack & Jeremy did a great job, not a drop on the floors or anywhere else out of place. They cleaned up as they left. Thank you!! It was worth the wait to have RJ Painting do the job." - Nancy C.

He was quick to respond to my message and even came back a second time for the estimate because I missed a crack. And he was able to help us match the paint color since we didn’t paint it originally and didn’t have any leftover paint. He was a lifesaver! Would highly recommend them! Thank you guys!" - Laurie L.
"Randy and crew did a wonderful job on my little playroom! They easily removed the wallpaper and gave the whole room a couple of coats of paint.
