Reilly’s Handyman Services are a third-generation, father-and-son, family-owned business. We registered our business with Wake County in 2004, have city licenses and have $1M of project insurance. We understand how difficult it can be to find a contractor that provides you with high-quality craftsmanship and affordable prices without sacrificing quality. That’s why we provide our customers with honest, professional and reliable services for their home improvement and renovation needs. We have developed a reputation for handling any size project efficiently and quickly for residential properties. Our goals over the years have always been to provide customers with exceptional services focused on their individual needs. 10 employees. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. Family owned.

"I chose Reilly because of the many great reviews on Angi—and here’s mine: trust this team. They were thorough, professional, and highly skilled. They completed a full tear-down and rebuild of my deck, and it looks fantastic. The price was also competitive, which I truly appreciated. As a widow, I’ve sometimes been treated differently during home projects—but that was absolutely not the case here. Every member of the Reilly team treated me with honesty, respect, and professionalism. I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process. I’ll definitely use Reilly again and highly recommend them."

"I found Richard's Painting an excellent company to work with. From beginning to end with Adam quoting the job and both the owner, Margaret, and her painting contractor, Javier, everyone was committed to provide the best results possible. They met their committed start date, arrived on-time each day, worked entire days, devoted all of their time being dedicated onsite to the job, completed the work within the expected timeframe, and provided quality results. In addition, Margaret extended her service to complete additional staining that wasn't part of the original quote which I greatly appreciated. Without question, I would hire Richard's Painting again."

"They spackled a 14x28 shed walls and ceiling for us. They did a fantastic job on the spackling at a very reasonable cost, we only paid for labor they told us what materials to buy and they showed up and knocked it out the park. I would recommend them to a friend. It was well worth the money, saved me so much time and aggravation."

"The Santiago team showed up on time and proceeded in covering the walls and flooring with protective sheeting, which was a plus...no dust. The ceilings needed repair, nail pops throughout and some retaping in the great room. Lasers were used to position the taping, which turned out perfectly. There were a couple of spots that were overlooked, but were promptly addressed. All in all, we are very satisfied with Santiago Home Improvements and their professionalism."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Use flat paint in the rooms that don’t need a lot of cleaning. Flat paint works well in bedrooms, where there is low human traffic, and having the walls soak up light keeps the look and vibe calm. Flat paint also hides imperfections, so if you spot a crack, dent, or patch in your wall, choose flat paint over something shinier.

Most painters charge by the square footage of the project rather than an hourly rate. However, painters who do charge by the hour typically charge $20 to $60 per hour for a standard job. More complex or physically demanding jobs may be able to go for $100 per hour in labor costs. 

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Metal is finicky, particularly when exposed to the elements. In other words, you should always prime your metal garage door before laying down paint. Primer not only helps the paint stick to the metal, but it also prevents rust from bleeding through. If you already have some rust and want to avoid it peeking out, cover the spots with a zinc chromate primer. 

Painting the interior of a single room will take the average DIYer between 6 and 10 hours. However, your timeframe could increase or decrease based on factors such as your skill level, room size, as well as the number of light switch plates, outlet covers, and other small objects to work around.
