We hired Ray to paint the exterior of our house. He was very careful and detail-oriented, and both he and his handyman partner demonstrated excellent workmanship. During the project, we discovered that some of the exterior wooden boards had rotted, and we asked Ray if he could replace them. He agreed without hesitation and did not charge us any additional fees. We are very satisfied with their work and would highly recommend them to others. read more

Professional, fast results, excellent value. We requested interior painting and a remodeled bathroom and are truly happy!!

OK, I got Ray from Nextdoor. He gave me an excellent price to remove my popcorn ceiling, smooth the ceiling and paint it. OMG this guy did an incredible job and did it in a short time. Well...I asked him about some handyman work outside of painting and I struck gold. I ended up hiring him for a few weeks. This gentleman Ray knows how to do literally everything. You could throw anything at this man and he knows how to do it. NEVER again will I ever call anyone but Ray. He is also kind and personable and has a great attitude. Give him a try!!!! read more

Exceptional quality and extremely price-efficient. I contacted Ray to have my house repainted fully. Ray came in, identified the problematic areas, and gave me a competitive quote. Work: Ray's work ethic is just too good. He completed the job and the job was very meticulous. He even painted a few other stuff that he saw problematic, and not even one bad patch of paint was there which could have been better. He has a very friendly and humorous demeanor and his timelines are also on the mark. Overall a very reliable and trustworthy guy with great workmanship. read more

I've had several investment properties remodeled by Ray. He is an exceptional worker. Haven't seen anyone work as hard as he has. He shows up on time always there when he says he's going to be there. The services he provides is unlimited. There is nothing he can't do. His pricing is also very competitive. I highly recommend him. He's done stuff that other contractor said I could not do very professional. He's been in the business for 20 years well mannered and polite and make sure everything looks perfect before he leaves. He's the type of worker that won't walk past a flaw and not fix it even if it wasn't his flaw highly recommended you will not be disappointed. read more

Definitely will be calling him back to have my bathroom remodel in the near future. Btw he can help with mold remediation and works fast. If your bathroom needs assistance give Ray a call. read more

We wanted to update our kitchen by changing the cabinets and wall color. Ray did an amazing job with the paint and has transformed our kitchen to a brighter updated kitchen!

I highly recommend him for painting work! read more

Since they did such a great job a few years ago, again this year we hired Ray and his crew. They repainted our entire 5 bedroom sq ft home, including distinct ceiling, wall, and trim complements. They taped off everything very well so no spills. They did such a great job, I had a hard time finding touch ups areas. Ray also noticed our cabinets would benefit from a coat of varnish, and he even did this as well! Ray truly leads his team painting himself. He solves problems head on and truly cares about making customers happy. If you want a hassle-free experience... I highly recommend them. read more

My dog did a number on our front door, scratching and chewed a chunk out of the wood. I got several quotes that were out of this world from other companies to fix and refinish the door. Ray's came in at a fraction of the cost. I knew going in that Ray would have an issue with the corner the dog chewed out of the wood but chose to restain for now cuz we couldn't decide on a color to repaint. Ray came out and worked on the door and to us it looks amazing! Even tho the corner couldn't completely be covered up cuz of choosing to restain instead of repaint, Ray has offered to repaint the door for free when we pick a color. As u can see in the photos his work is amazing! read more

I'm very happy with the results after Ray and his crew repainted my entire home exterior and fixed dry rot and gutter issues in the process. Ray was very prompt and detail oriented, treating my home like it was his own. He stuck to the budget and let me know ahead of time when additional charges needed to be made, like renting scaffolding for hard to reach areas. I would happily recommend Ray for your project, you won't be disappointed. read more

My fiance and I just purchased our first home and really wanted to make it ours. The original look of our home felt dark and contemporary, but we wanted it to feel bright, airy and modern. Ray helped us get the look we going for and we couldn't be more happy with his work!! Our home is a 1800+ sq ft three story townhome w/ 3 br and 2.5 ba. We hired Ray to paint all the walls throughout our home (with the exception of inside closets and the pantry since they were already white), all the cabinetry (kitchen, 2 ba & linen), demolish the ugly old kitchen backsplash & tile our new beautiful backsplash, re-caulked all our toilets and kitchen sink, replaced rotted MDF under the kitchen sink and touched up any areas of trimming/doors that were in bad shape. This guy does it ALL!! Ray and Sarah were very easy to work with and very approachable from start to finish. The job took a little under 2 weeks - which is amazing considering the size of our job and that Ray works by himself. My favorite part of the experience was getting EOD texts from Ray letting me know his progress via videos and/or pictures. It made us feel like we were really part of the process. I would absolutely hire Ray for any future projects in our home! read more

Ray is my goto person for any fixes to my house. My feedback is after working with him and his team for over 4 years now. Each time, I've found Ray to be very professional and goes out of the way to be helpful. Most recently, I needed a bunch of small fixes in our house -- drywall repair, paint touch-up and replace carpet. Attached are some before and after photos to show their amazing work. After doing all this, I had some other work items which I forgot to mention, Ray offered to help since they finished the job before time. Thanks Ray and Sarah ! read more

Ray and his team do great work at very reasonable prices. They removed a ton of wallpaper (16 feet high!), repaired and textured walls that needed it to match the rest of the house, did some additional demo of trim, shutters, and closet shelves, and painted the entire interior top to bottom. Everything came out great. Ray's time estimate was also spot on, which was impressive with such a large project. Ray and the team were also really thoughtful about trying to keep my house livable as much as possible while the work was going on. Ray is also very communicative and never once did I feel out of the loop. Very easy to work with. I'd definitely hire Ray again. read more

We have wanted to paint our kitchen cabinets for quite some time. We finally decided to go ahead with the project and found Ray's Straight Line Painting. They had wonderful reviews and have painted many kitchen cabinets in the past, so I reached out for a quote. In case you were wondering, they can even change out backsplash and flooring! Sarah got back to me right away, was super responsive and easy to communicate with. Made me feel at ease, and I just knew they would be great to work with. And Ray's such a good guy. Very professional, listens, and truly does good work. He's meticulous and stands behind his work. He's always on time and will stay late if needed, even works on a Saturday. We're so glad we worked with them, and love our new kitchen! read more

Ray helped paint my parent's cabinets and entire interior. He not only did a great job initially but performed multiple follow ups to ensure things were still going well after the fact. He came by and touched up some items weeks later to ensure we would happy for the life of the work. The heart and soul of the camping is definitely Sarah who not only has amazing service but excellent response times with a clear communication style. She never lost touch and always checked in which is unheard of in the contractor world. Thank you Sarah and Ray! read more

Awesome! Highly recommend! I used Ray and his team to paint the interior of our home. They painted EVERYTHING. Walls, ceilings, doors, trim, and some extras like my mantle and my kitchen cabinets. Sarah did the bid virtually, which worked out much better for me since I work long hours. Sarah was great to work with during the bid process. She was very responsive and friendly. Whenever I asked her to add yet another item to the bid, she'd add it on at no extra charge. That was awesome. Ray's bid was at the lower end compared to the 3-4 in-person bids I got, but included the most, so it was a no-brainer to go with them. Ray and his team's work was excellent; great attention to detail. They took care in protecting the floors and there is not a paint-stroke out of place. They worked extremely efficiently. They worked so fast that I wasn't always able to get the rooms prepared for them in time. That was no problem. After asking me, they would move my stuff for me and then put my stuff back after they were done. They even re-installed the anti-tip kits on my larger furniture. They also demo'd a couple closets for me and patched/resurfaced and then painted them. I was most nervous about the kitchen cabinets, but they turned out beautifully. I'm so happy I had them done. Ray, Sarah and the rest of the team were all great to work with. My home looks so good now. I'm so happy with the paint job. I highly recommend Ray's Straight Line Painting. read more

We used our sun room for a spa, a greenhouse, and for junk storage for 20 years. There was some water damage from a leak too. No surprise that the walls were in bad shape. We decided it was time to give the room some love, so we searched Yelp for a painter who could handle the challenge. We found Ray's. When Ray saw the mess he didn't scream and run (I would have, ha-ha), he just got to work prepping, peeling, patching, priming, and painting. Within a day the gross old paint was just a bad memory and the room looked better than it ever had. I've posted a couple before-and-after pix. As a senior I struggle with lifting the bulky stuff, so I was glad to get help from Ray with that. Even more helpful was Ray's knowledge base. There's more to do before the room is ready to use. Ray had insight and information about 'next steps' that I really appreciated. read more

My husband and I went through Thumbtack and Home Advisors in search of a contractor to do our floors and interior painting. We met with several contractors but couldn't find one that met all our requirements. We finally settled on S&G to do our flooring and went to search for someone to do our interior paint. My husband decided to search in Yelp and found Ray. Despite the low number of raters, the high and very satisfied ratings prompted my husband to request a quote on Yelp on 9/14. Sarah responded the very next day. She and my husband communicated via phone and text a couple of times. My husband found Sarah pleasant, professional, and straightforward. On 9/22, Sarah and Ray came over to look at our house so they can give an estimate. From the minute Ray entered our house, I can tell from his eyes that his gears were in motion of what he can do for our house. He and Sarah asked what we were looking to do. They listened intently and offered suggestions openly. Ray scanned every room and was clearly making mental notes on how he can implement our vision. He clarified what we relayed to him and then add his professional opinion. My husband and I got a very good vibe from both Sarah and Ray. We were hopeful that we could work out an arrangement Sarah is responsive and easy to work with. She fielded every question we threw her way. She also provided additional information to help us think through our vision for our house. After a couple more back-and-forth via text, Sarah gave us a detailed and very reasonable estimate on 9/25. We accepted the same day. Ray started work on 10/2 and finished on 10/12. Ray and his crew worked diligently everyday they were here. It was obvious that Ray took great pride in his craft. Before leaving each day, he inspected the work they had done that day, made sure their materials were put away, and put our house back in livable order. Ray transformed our house from a lived-in and dated 90s home to a fresh and vibrant look! Our banister was so worn out and I was considering having a stair contractor replace it. Ray's suggestion to sand and repaint instead of replacing worked out even better than I imagined. Because of Ray's work, the staircase is a vision of beauty when entering our house! For a minimal additional fee, he even installed new light fixtures. We are so pleased with his work that we hope to also have him do our exterior paint. We had our floors done on 10/22-27. Ray agreed to come back after our floors were put in to do final touch up. True to his word, Ray came back today to put the finishing touches. Ray is both a craftsman and an artist. The pride in his work shines through. We are delighted we found him! read more

We bought our first home and loved everything but the outdated cherrywood cabinets. Ray gave us a fair quote and was able to do the job sooner than anyone else. He and his team were responsive and easy to work with. It definitely took us longer to pick the paint color than it did for Ray to paint everything! He is very efficient, works quickly, and will make sure you are satisfied with the end result. We appreciate how understanding he is and would definitely work with him again for any painting needs. Thank you, Ray! read more

My wife and I are extremely pleased with Ray's straight line painting work. From the first call, a quote was given based on sq ft, and some pictures. The next day they came out to approve the quote, and even threw some extra handyman things Ray would be able to patch up, which he did! Sarah was awesome too she helped coordinate it all. I had a few other quotes and all others were overpriced and would not go the extra to touch up some small things. We called Ray booked them immediately and the following week they painted our interior 740 sq ft condo and also transformed our fireplace into a completely new fancy look! They also painted all our kitcken cabinets and bathroom cabinets. They were very professional, courteous and precise, and finished all exceptional quality work in 2 days. I would highly recommend Ray to anyone and for our next project. read more

Ray did a fantastic job painting our house. Sarah, who coordinated everything, was excellent at communicating and made the process very smooth. Ray was very detail oriented, thorough, careful and also a very nice person. In the midst of COVID-19, Ray handled the entire project by himself, but did not sacrifice any of the quality. He was very careful with all our furniture and also was following all CDC recommended guidelines in terms of wearing a mask and keeping a 6 ft distance. Thanks so much Ray and Sarah! read more

Ray did a great job painting our existing kitchen cabinets in September; we are really happy with the final result! We wanted two-toned cabinets and got several quotes, but decided to go with Ray because of the ease of communication (mostly with Sarah), price, overall timeline and Yelp reviews. He was very punctual, thorough and quick. I was really surprised to have the whole kitchen done in four days! He clearly cares about his work. He constantly asked for my feedback and was very receptive to coming back to fix a few spots the next day. I really appreciate his attention to detail and friendliness -- I would absolutely recommend him to others! read more

I used Straight Lines to paint my mothers house. She has a lot of furniture and the space was limited. Ray took his time and adjusted the furniture so that he could do it by sections! He vacuumed the floor just so my elderly mom didn't have to do anything afterwards. My mom said he took time a spoke with her so she knew everything that was taking place. I'm so impressed. I think we may have him coming back to do the exterior. read more

Fast, responsive, and professional still describe Ray's! I hired Ray to paint my new (to me) prefabricated home. I was told by other contractors that the paint was looking worn, but Ray was able to show me exactly how the paint was failing, which made me feel much better about the investment that I was making. Ray and his crew came out, power washed, primed, and painted the house. His crew also helped me remove a few odd bits that were screwed in to the trim (solar flood lights, etc.), and they also did a bit of trim repair. Ray and his crew took four days to do all the work (power wash, prime/prep, paint, second/third coat). When you hire Ray's, he's aiming to make your house look good and stay that way for years to come. My neighbors were all in awe over the clean new look of the house. I have peace of mind that my house was sealed and painted before the rains hit, and the newer colors make me feel better about owning the house. Ray's has restructured a bit since I last hired him and his crew (back in 11/2018). Their quotes are done by admin, while Ray oversees the painting work. Ray's has gained in experience, equipment, and staff. I was very happy with Ray and his crew and could tell that they were a much more well-oiled machine this time around. I recommend Ray's to my neighbors and friends. I know that I'll be calling them for the next time I need a house painted! read more

Ray and Sarah are a pleasure to work with. Ray is great and really will give you suggestions on how to accentuate your house. They painted and built me a fence and painted the entire fence. I am also really picky in general, so after I told ray and Sarah what I didn't like, they would come and fix it the very next day. I had a total of 3-4 bids, and we thought they were the most fair with pricing. I am happy with the job, and would recommend them to everyone. read more

We recently hired Ray's Painting to paint our downstairs duplex unit and they brought a whole new life to it. Previously is was painted throughout with all one color. Our place is old, as well, with unique features throughout that when painted all the same, blended in and were easily overlooked. We worked closely with Sarah to not only select colors but also plan out the job to bring these architectural details to light. With the scope finalized, Ray and his team came in and quickly executed the work, even with a few brief repairs, and our space was transformed into a beautiful and welcoming home. We love it so much we find ourselves often migrating from our own unit to the vacant one downstairs just to enjoy it. Ray and his team were careful to ensure the old wooden windows we have remained functional even after having been painted. They were very careful to cover the furniture and flooring throughout. They patched a few spots and bad taping jobs in our walls to ensure they were smooth before painting, and took the time to remove the wall plates and cover the outlets and switches so that they wouldn't get painted over. None of fixtures were painted over due to the care applied with their prep. Even the cabinet knobs (cabinets were also in scope) were removed and reinstalled to ensure they weren't painted over. Additionally, they even gave us a few days to acclimate to the finished work, then came back and did a final touch up. This was the icing on the cake for us as sometimes you can't see the minor imperfections right away in a final walk through and they only become apparent once you've had time to acclimate to the new look. The team at Ray's take their customer's satisfaction seriously and depend on their clients to spread the word of their good work. Hence, they're motivated to do their work well and it shows. Many thanks to the whole team for a job well done. They definitely have our recommendation moving forward. read more
