Professional Drywall and Painting

This is a review of painting quote. This company was professional, arrived on time, came out to do quote quickly. The problem was the quote was ridiculously high and no break down of costs. RIDICULOUSLY HIGH. If you are contracting them for painting services, do yourself a favor and get a couple of other quotes unless you want that same feeling that you get when you walk out of a car sales room feeling fleeced. The painter that I actually did get for painting services, did a great job, was less expensive, was on time, very professional, and the quote for services was the actual bill. No tom foolery.

There is a possibility that the other reviews are not merely biased, but may in fact be real customers. However, in my case, I want to explain the reason I rated this a 1 star. Rick was very quick in responding to my initial call and setting an appointment for a free estimate. He was courteous on arrival and departure. During the walkthrough, he undermined majority of my requests stating that it was not necessary for me to spend extra money to perform certain repairs since I would not be able to recover that from a sale of the home. Instead he suggested I approach each repair in a more cost effective way, which under most circumstances seemed to be good advice. Who wouldn’t want to save some money. I showed him 4 hairline cracks in the drywall resulting from normal settlement of the home. I showed him some caulking that need to be replaced in the bathroom. He suggested he could clean the caulking instead of having to replace it. He also offered to lightly sand my bathroom cabinet fronts and put a fresh coat of paint. I had a limited number of other small repair requests. Based on his suggestions, I was under the impression I was going to get a good price. When he finally sent the quote asking for $ 6500 without providing any break down of the costs, I nearly choked. No professional company with a reputable background has ever had the nerve to quote such unreasonable rates. Then I began to realize the reason he is so quick to respond is because he is searching for customers that are not aware of market rates in hopes of taking advantage of the customer’s naïveté. For the same exact list of work I requested from him, I received quotes from two other reputable companies that were licensed and insured to do more work for only $ 2500. I hired one of those companies, and I could not be more satisfied with their performance, honesty and quality of work. Unilocal very definition of one star is ‘me thinks not’. There is no way under any circumstance an educated person would pay any company 3x of the market rates for this type of work. My advice to Rick is to tell people up front that his skills are so exceptional that his rates are triple the norm. I highly suggest other real customers to obtain multiple quotes from other companies that detail each line item so you know exactly what you are paying for.

I can’t speak for Rick’s painting services, but his man Adam is a master carpenter. So much so that my wife and I want to kidnap him and keep him permanently improving our home with his expert skills, which seem never ending. Thank you Rick and Adam. You guy are the go-​to folk for home improvement.

Excellent service with an extreme sense of urgency! Rick came out the next day after our call about our falling ceilings. He was on time even with the road closures due to the May floods. Rick and his team are very knowledgeable and personable. They completed the job quickly and expertly. I would highly recommend them– they are good people!

Rick and his brother Mark are very professional and great at what they do. We set up for the work to be started at 8am and they showed up ahead of time — that is the first I have heard with contractors. We had a suspected leak that caused the baseboards to mildew. Rick found the cause and cleaned, caulked, sealed and painted the baseboards– looks brand new. Also, we had Mark refinish and reseal our 8ft front door. He did such a beautiful job– the door looks awesome. My husband originally wanted to do the door job but was told by a hardware store employee that the job would be too difficult and that the quote Rick gave was more than fair and that we should let the pros do it. Rick’s fees were very reasonable. I will be calling Rick again if we need any future work. I highly recommend them!

Excellent service. Rick was very cordial and professional. All the details he gave me were fair and honest. I highly recommend his company if you want the job done right, quick, and at a fair price.

Absolutely the best! Rick is extremely knowledgeable, honest, and professional. He showed up at exactly the time he said he would for the estimate and for the ceiling repair. Not only did he carefully protect the furniture and carpet, he also made sure everything was clean afterwards. He was in and out within an hour and a half. Service gets no better than this!

Highly recommend Rick!!! He is professional, friendly, timely, and WOW the work is fantastic! I have a new hardwood floor and they took the time to completely protect it. Drywall repair, texture and painting done professionally and quickly. He knows his stuff — I am so glad I followed his suggestions — everything turned out perfect!

We just moved into a new home, and Rick helped us twice in just a week or so. The first job involved drywalling over several speaker wire outlets in the ceiling of our playroom. We probably had five in total. Well, our jaw dropped when Rick came out in about two hours and said «I am ready for you to look», and he was all done, the job was meticulous, and his helper was vacuuming our carpet! Almost like it had never happened! The second time he moved his schedule around to fit us in, and repaired holes around our bathroom lighting that had been left as we were switching light fixtures. Once again, Rick delivered with his super detail oriented drywall skills! We are so impressed, Rick is no doubt the superhero of drywall repair.

Needed wallpaper removed from large kitchen and small bathroom and then texturing, so I got an estimate from one of the higher recommended Unilocal contractors who was nice and had 30 years experience. Price seemed to be on the high-​end so I decided to call Rick at
Professional Drywall And Painting. His estimate just blew the other contractor out of the picture. Rick recommended that I also removed the popcorn ceiling from both rooms & re-​texture and even with that additional cost he was still well under the first contractor. Rick got on the job quickly & between him and his brother and his excellent texturing man I now have beautiful walls and no more hideous wallpaper. Glad I didn’t take on the wallpaper myself it was the stubborn type that you read about so often. Best left to the professionals especially since they can repair the walls where needed. The guys showed up early, they were courteous, and worked nonstop. And cleaned up when they were done. Rick Is knowledgeable about his profession, has good ideas, and takes the lead in doing a good job. So for those reasons this is the type of company I recommend to my friends.

Very dependable and the best job you can ever get anywhere. Absolutely flawless finish. Extremely knowledgeable about painting and how to do the job correctly. Rick is also very honest and will not sell you something you don’t need. He is a very good carpenter also and can match existing wood work exactly. I would have to say he is the best in the business. If you use him you will not ever be disappointed.

⁷⁄₂₀₁₃ — Older rent house had cracks everywhere from foundation problems. Rick recommended the foundation guy and then he repaired all the cracks in the ceilings and walls after the foundation was fixed. Did a fantastic job! Even repaired a hole in the side of the house where the renter’s son threw a baseball against it and cracked it. Matched the paint perfectly.
¹¹⁄₂₀₁₂ — Bathroom shower leaked and rotted out the kitchen ceiling. After Rick fixed it you can’t tell there was ever a problem.
Honest, professional, and detail oriented. I’ve recommended him to family, friends, and even my boss. All had nothing but good things to say about his work. Highly recommend him.

Did a wonderful job painting our house!

Our Boxer decided to try and chew and scratch his way out of our bedroom and severely damaged the custom drywall texture near the door. When Rick finished you couldnt tell anything had happened. He matched the texture and the tea stain perfectly. Highly recommended.

We used Rick Fincher on many different jobs around the house. He is very knowledgeable, very hard working, and as a home owner it was wonderful to see someone who works clean. His attention to detail is amazing. You can see that he really thinks things through. He is on time and works the entire time. 100% is what you get. I highly recommend him and would use his services in all my future projects. So happy to have found Rick Fincher.
