I just finished up painting work with RJ Painting Contractors and I am very happy, both with the…read morefinished product and with the entire process of working with them. I recently moved into a house and sought out painters for the entire first floor, including the entryway/staircase, kitchen, dining room, living room and kitchen cabinets. From the start, I had a great experience. Randy and his wife came to take a look at the area I wanted painted, and within 24 hours had provided a quote that I felt was both fair and affordable. They got to work soon afterwards. Throughout the process, they kept me informed of their progress, what they would be working on and when, and any other updates. I was impressed that they gave me a timing estimate at the start of the work and stuck to it. In addition to being professional and knowledgeable, they were kind and collaborative, talking me through certain decisions and giving me good advice about color options, sheen, doubts or questions I had, etc. I felt comfortable knowing that they understood the vision I had for my space and that they would bring it to life (which they did!). I could tell they cared about providing great service as well. For instance, Randy went above and beyond to find a very specific, high-quality paint for my cabinets that was hard to come by but would end up with a better, more durable and long-lasting finish. He ended up driving several hours to buy it from a supplier that was out of town, just to ensure it wouldn't be damaged by the cold weather which was a risk if it was shipped. I love the way the finished results look--it's exactly what I had hoped for. I can tell the work they did was great, and they paid attention to so many small details. I've already recommended them to family and friends, and I would certainly work with them again in the future if I need more painting done. You'll be in good hands working with them!

My husband and I bought a 1852 Greek Revival and pretty quickly realized we were in over our heads…read more Started to look for painters and found RJ Painting Contractors who saved us. Our dining room was peeling and wouldn't hold paint. Randy came in and made everything look like new. Not only did they help with interior painting but also did exterior and went above and beyond on so many projects. The communication was quick, efficient, and professional. The company is one that I will be telling my friends and family about. Honestly I will be singing this companies praises to anyone who will listen. If you need painting done, interior or exterior, if you need your house brought back to life, this is the company you want! Not only is Randy talented with all things paint but his wife can do countertops and sinks. My porcelain sink looked so tarnished and people told me to rip it out. RJ restored it where it looked brand new! I can not tell you enough how great this company is and honestly this couple is. It's been a pleasure to watch the house be transformed and an added bonus that RJ Painting did the work. Hiring this business made our home into the gem that we knew it could be. Thank you! Thank you!

He was kind & respectable enough to get you to hire him....He spoke of God, family and 30 years doing this work but he has no clue what he is doing! His scam is that his work was a con. He claimed he knew how to do the house repair & that he was an expert or professional, and the reality is he didn't know how to do the work. He took your money, wasted your time, and gave crappy results. Con by definition is when you persuade someone to believe something by using deception. He lied about his work, his timeline, and his abilities. He took $9400. From us.... My husband is a disabled veteran and this Miguel Rodriguez took advantage of our trust .... Please look into him prior to hiring... we asked over and over again for his insurance information for his licensing. For all the receipts. We kept continuously asking for him to bring our flooring the knobs for our cupboards, the ceiling fan for our bathroom, and now we have to hire another contractor to repair all the damage in my home from him. Reverse google search his photos!!!!!! They are not his!!!!!!!!

One week later he delivered it looking like the day the Amish delivered it. He gave a little tutorial on how to keep it looking great (not insulting in any way). I couldn't be happier.

We originally contacted Miracle Method to fix a poor job done by a competitor to resurface our…read morekitchen counter and bathroom vanity. When the estimator came in, he was really nice and seemed to know what he was talking about. There were 3 concerns that I brought to his attention, as well as the tech when he arrived. 1) There was a seam in the existing laminate that I was afraid would show through, 2) Another section where the existing laminate was lifting and again, I was concerned it would show through, and 3) I was concerned that the surface would not be smooth enough or durable enough to work with dough on the countertop. In all three instances, I was assured that it would not be a problem. They would use a substance to cover the seam and the section that was lifting, It would be sanded flat and unnoticeable (their word) once the resurfacing was complete. As you can see by the two photos, there is now a raised hump at the seam, which was flat before the process and you can still see the laminate lifting on the other photo. In addition, the surface was not as smooth as the samples they had showed me. It was gritty and bumpy. Furthermore, after waiting the required 48 hours before using, we noticed that the gritty bits were coming off in the areas that were being used. So now, although I was assured it would be smooth and durable enough to spread dough, I find it hard to believe that dough would spread properly, I fear it is not safe as particles would end up in the dough. So I called to report the issues. The person I spoke with asked me to send a picture of the bump where the seam was and a manager would get back to me. After 2 days with no response, I emailed again. A manager then responded saying they were going to review it internally that day, then get back to me. A week later, I still did not hear from them. So I called again. This time a manager came on the phone and told me, that it happens sometimes and there is nothing we can do. So, from where I was, it appears that they got paid and don't care. They don't care that they did a poor job. He offered no solution. I would just have to live with it. The thing that really upset me about this is that the 3 exact concerns I had came to be, despite being assured that each one of them would be addressed to my satisfaction. In short, they promised a result they apparently knew they could not deliver. So now I have to find someone else to hire and have these counters done for a third time. We have reached out to the national franchise headquarters to see if we have any recourse. But I am not holding my breath.
