R & P Painting And Remodeling

I had to move out of the home before work began so I did not see the day to day work. I was dealing with a lot of things on my plate, a lot of stress at the time. I had been referred to Rick by Service Master and I checked out his license and bonding. I thought I was making an informed decision. I gave him free access to the house. Whenever I stopped by the house to see how things were going he had someone with him. They made several errors I spotted right away. First he talked me into putting a doorway between the laundry room and kitchen. I showed my architect his plans and my architect said, "No! you do not want to do that" and he told me why and it made perfect sense. So I told Rick, but he had already cut the doorway into place by then and now had to reframe this. He was not happy and I am sure he charged me for doing this. I ended up paying almost double what he estimated by the end of all this. The next thing I saw was the electrical plugs on the wall were crooked...they were not lined up with each other. Really a basic thing and showed sloppy workmanship. Then I saw that he had redone my maghogany flooring and for the most part looked good but there are places that have gaps which annoy the heck out of me to this day. He was supposed to do work under the house, which included shoring up the granite surfaced island and also replacing insulation and vapor barrior. He charged me for time and material on this but later my next contractor (who ended up re-doing almost everything Rick did) said that it was not done...that all that was under the house was a pile of the wet insulation but the new insulation was not there and there was no barrier either and the island was definitely not shored up. He took photos. Then the final straw was when I came to the house and found they had been putting dry wall mud directly on my walls to create texture and the texture did not match the rest of my kitchen at all! The texture in my laundry room is so ugly my friend said it gave him the hives. I told Rick to take it off. He refused and seeing how angry I was walked out on the job. They left all the left over drywall in my bathtub which took me hours to clean out. Later I found out that I had to redo the new doorway as it was not big enough to get the washer/dryer in and was not code. I had to replumb the hot water tank as he did that all wrong and found out he is not licensed for plumbing. Then one day I got a call from my alarm company and my house is on fire. Yes he had also replaced a cadet heater and had sheared off a wire which eventually caused it to catch fire. Luckily the fire department got there in time so very little damage done except to the wallin my living room. Found out not licensed for electrical either and he actually needed a permit to install the heater which he didn't get either. I called Labor and Industries. I had so much else going on trying to find the money to get all the re-work done (because I paid R&P over $6,000 for their "work") and my other issues I had going on I did not have time to pursue any legal action or finish my report with L and I. I regret this as I think I did deserve to get back much of the money I gave this contractor to do work. I think that he took advantage of this single woman and I would not recommend him to anyone.

I originally had Rick and his crew paint my new home on the inside after I purchased the home. I asked him if he was able to remodel kitchens and we sat right down and figured it all out. He had a amazing vision of what could be done with what there was to offer. I told him the appliances I wanted and he worked around the appliances. This guy is good!!! He knows what he is doing, how to do it and at a reasonable rate. I can't wait till the sun starts shining and I can call Rick back to paint the outside of the house This guy does everything !!!

I learned of R & P through friend of mine and recently purchased a home. I contacted Rick, the owner, about doing the interior painting. Rick was not only on-time for our first appointment he was early! He pointed out areas that needed to be fixed that had previously been done and why they needed to be re-done. He spoke to me in layman's terms so that I was able to understand everything he talked about and did not make me feel as though I did not know what I was talking about. His crew came in and completed the job on time and in the timeframe he estimated for the job. They were very clean with thier work and I did NOT have to clean up after them. After this job I am defiantly asking Rick to design and remodel my new kitchen also. GREAT JOB HIGLY RECOMMENDED
