"He was friendly and polite and went beyond the original estimate without charging more. I'd hire him anytime."
"Rick was great. My project was a weird one (thanks to the previous homeowner), but he handled it. It was electrical in nature. Followed my instructions so my outlets worked the way I wanted (on a switch or not on a switch). "
"I scheduled the appt for 4/15 but Rick called on the 8th and inquired if I still needed the work done. He showed up within a short time and completed the job in ~ 45 minutes and the price was very reasonable. Yes I would definitely use his services again if needed and will recommend him to others. "
"Rick and his crew did an excellent job. They were also very careful to cover furniture, floors, etc. We highly recommend him, and we will definitely use him for future work."
"Rick and his team were amazing. My bathroom walls were beautifully transformed in less than a day at a reasonable price. The team was professional, efficient, responsive and cleaned up as if they were never there. We would HIGHLY recommend Rick again. "
"Talk about prompt, friendly, professional service - great job Rick "
"Rick was very professional and responsive.
I highly recommend this company."

"They were great. Fantastic. I have no complaints."
"Two points stand out: 1) Rick's team was extremely thorough. They did much more than painting. 2) The strong work ethic exhibited by Rick and his team. "
"Rick was great to work with, he was professional and responsive. His team worked quickly, carefully and skillfully. They did a great job and really kept the place clean! I highly recommend this company!"
"They came on time did a high quality job and did a lot to make sure all areas were kept clean."
"RESPONDED QUICKLY TO REQUEST. TRACED AND CORRECTED PROBLEM. ISSUE SOLVED. THANK YOU."
"Rick gave a detailed and fair statement of services prior to the job. The workers were friendly and did a great job both in the painting and cleaning up afterwards. I would use their services again. "
"He is very proffessional, did a good job."
"Personable, and really know their business. Friendly and hard working. I thought the job they did was very well done!"
"He is a true professional!"
"Rick responded to my request within minutes. He very courteous and professional on the phone. I was even more impressed when he and Jeff came out to do the work.
Punctual, professional, excellent workmanship and also happy to do the work! It seems hard to come across that lately. I would recommend Rick gladly."
"Rick and his team our great. The show up on time, get to work and finish without delay. Just what you need in a contractor."
"Overall, did a good job for a reasonable price. Was late to both estimate appointment and installation appointment, which is why he did not score higher."
"We have two kitchen outlets, a light, and dishwasher along one wall that doesn't work. Rick tried to fix it, but the problem is difficult to determine. He spent two hours here and tried to fix the problem and wasn't able to determine the cause. He didn't charge us anything. He was very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend him."
"I engaged Rick for installing an electric outlet on the outside wall and also to fix a motion detection light fixture. The work had to be postponed couple of times due to some reasons and he was always very courteous and prompt in communicating. He did a very clean job and charged very reasonable price for the job."
"Did a great job installing new ceiling electrical box and switch with excellent patching of ceiling. Clean,thorough and competent work. "
"Rick called me because he would be late. Not many people call to let you know he would be late. That in itself is high praise. The job was to put up a light fixture in my kitchen above my sink. The fixture was not as big as the one being replaced but Rick worked his magic and I am very pleased with the outcome. He also cleans the mess so everything is spic n span. "
"I have used Rick three times. They removed wallpaper, repaired a ceiling, painted, and installed two bathroom fans. Excellent quality of work, very clean, friendly, and trustworthy. Highly recommend!"
"We had Rick and his crew paint and remodel our whole house. There were some tough areas that had to be sanded and repaired. We had Rick install new electrical in all our rooms and remodel our bathrooms. The quality of work done was by far superb. No dust and very clean. "
"They did great work, thorough, clean, and gave attention to details. The vacuum assisted sanding left almost no plaster dust. They also did some soffit demolition, installed trim and base, and some electrical."
"Rick did a great job on a difficult project that included removing sub-par work by previous contractors, mating new drywall to existing plaster, repairing 57 y.o. plaster walls and ceilings then painting. Looks great and he is the consummate professional."
"Great work, clean, trustworthy and quick. "
"We have used Rick and his team on 3 different occassions. Most recently, Rick completed a total remodel of our basement, including demolition, New drywall, painting, and electrical ( wiring/lighting). The quality of work is superb. EVERYTHING is neat, his attention to detail is truly incredible ( probably why we've hired him 3x). Rick and his team are professional and friendly and very accessible and accommodative. We will use him again, and would highly recommend him based on the quality of the work he's completed at our home."
"I hired Rick to paint and repair the walls in my childhood home. Rick is experienced in many home improvement skills. He can do most anything well. He repaired and painted walls, ceilings, closets, window frames and door frames. He even repaired some electrical wiring in the garage I needed done! I needed to trust the contractor I hired as I live out of state. I found Rick trustworthy. Rick is a professional. He communicates well, follows through, does a fantastic job and is well mannered. His son Jeff is an awesome guy too. I would use them again in a heart beat! "

"Did a great job. No mess and cleaned up area better than it was before. Would definitely recommend them and hire them again"
"I have used Rick before for painting. In that job he painted two rooms dark green and the hallway a dark almost red with white woodwork. There's a challenge!! It was beautiful. The walls were a mess and he sanded and screwed in the old drywall. It still looks beautiful after six years and I am still getting compliments on the paint job. He is going to paint a bedroom with new woodwork the first week in June. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Very neat, great cleanup and the finished product was amazing! That is why I called him again to do the bedroom. "
"Rick is a professional. He came out and did the job in the time frame he quoted. He was neat and clean. I loved the vacuum he uses when sanding. Very little dust, thought I was going to have a boat load. We will definitely use Rick again. "
"Excellent workers, very clean, kept on task, met the bid. Very happy with the work they did for us."
"responsive, reliable and reasonable. We'll have him back to do other work on our house. "
"They did a wonderful job.. I am very particular and hard to please. I would definitely use them again. "
"I was very happy with the work they performed. Especially how clean it was considering all the sanding involved. I would use them again."
"Rick provided an absolutely professional service. He is a true craftsman and meticulous in every detail. The precision of his work really impressed us. Not only was the work beautifully done, but he left everything neat and clean when he finished the job. Rick and his crew were polite and ON TIME! 5 stars out of 5. We will definitely be recommending Rick's service to our friends."
"Rick provided me with a quick quote and got the job done at his earliest availability. His work reflects quality and professionalism."
"I am beyond happy with Rick's Decorating. We are putting my mother's house on the market and needed a complete interior and partial exterior paint job. I live out of state, so timing was my first issue. Rick was prompt from our first meeting through the entire project. His quoting was very accurate. He used professional materials. Removed wallpaper that had been previously been painted over many times so he could get a good result. His crew logs in on computer so you are not paying for paint drying. Even put in some light fixtures and bathroom counters and fixtures. I really can't say enough. My realtor was also delighted."
"Rick painted and did all the electrical work in our new home. We had a very good experience working with Rick and his team. For first timers like us Rick was pretty accomodative of our requirements and changes. All his work was very nice and clean. I would surely recommend Rick. "
"Good price, timely and efficient"
"We hired Rick's Decoratig Service to install recessed lighting in our living room and kitchen.From the start Rick worked with us.He gave us ideas ,offered low cost options and provided long term insight.He did the complete work right from electrical to drywall repair.He also ran to homedepot when we bought the wrong kind of switch.Apart from being a thorough professional,he was also courteous and polite and cared about not making a mess;as was his son.We'd hire him again and also recommend him to all our friends."
"I was very satisfied withhis work, he was very professional, thorough, understood my needs, advised me, did extra things and did not charge extra for it."
"Very prompt, provided same day service. Reasonable rates."
"Well mannered . Found source of problem. Fair price."
"The repair was done very nicely. No problems whatsoever."
Comments from Rick's Decorating Service
Puzzled by this disappointing mark! I ask each of them if all was good and they said yes. He comments "The repair was done very nicely. No problems whatsoever." Then why the low mark? I tried to contact them and ask what I could have done to improve on the mark but my call was not returned. It could be they skipped a few of the 6 different question ratings and did not realize the impact.
"I picked Rick's decorating service, since he provided a reference that has exactly tudor home as mine and he painted and fixed 6 years ago. The work Rick did on my house is excellent. Although the final cost exceeded his estimate, I will definately use him again.
"
Comments from Rick's Decorating Service
This was a job of extreme repairs do to neglect from the previous owners. I tried to hint how hard it is to estimate a project that requires so much stucco board and rotten wood replacement until you build the scaffold and get up there. You estimate from what you see on the ground. But now they are set for years to come.
"rick and his crew did a great job with all of the work they did around our house. if your looking for a handyman/painter these guys do a great job. "
"on time, excellent quality, great communication, excellent price"
"Rick and his son Jeff came exactly on time. They covered everything and after sanding I had absolutely no dust to clean up. They did excellent work and were very quiet. Of course the suck-up machine was noisy but that was not their fault. It took the exact amount of time to finish the project that he said it would. There was a little problem with the paint I bought from Home Depot, but Rick took care of that. He stopped at Home Depot and got the right paint and didn't charge me extra. They cleaned up expertly and I would use them again in a heart beat. Diane"
"Very good and helpful. I'd not only recommend to others, but am considering asking Rick back to help with other needs"
"An awesome job ... already referred his services."
"Professional and courteous, all work was well done."
"Rick and his apprentice were timely, clean, professional and extremely pleasant to deal with. Despite my job taking a lot longer than planned (through no fault of Rick) and it being the day before a holiday, they were nothing but friendly and helpful. When the track lighting I ordered wouldn't work in my kitchen, Rick offered to get me a set that would work and went out to Home Depot which really helped me out a lot. They did a very professional job and cleaned up completely before leaving. And they were very competitively priced.
I definitely plan to hire Rick for future projects and would recommend his service to anybody I know."
"Went out of his way to come to my house after hours on short notice and figured out my outlet/fuse problem quickly."
"We had Rick and his crew in to do perform a great number of tasks. They stripped wallpaper, painted, did woodwork and electrical work and performed plumbing work. We could not have been happier! They were the most professional group that we have ever dealt with. All along the process, Rick kept us up to speed with the progress that was being made. If surprises came along, he took them in stride, offering us suggestions as to how they may be handled. During all of this, Rick and his crew kept the house clean, and was very sensitive to the fact that we had to live in the house while the work was done. We would highly recommend to anyone!"
"This company did an excellent job. They came out on Sunday (my request) to give us an estimate. The work was started promptly on Monday. The quality of the work was excellent. I would use them again. "
"Rick was very responsive when I called him. He came over the same day to give me a quote and did the work on a Saturday so that I would have it completed within my required timeframe. He was friendly and did a great job. "
"Here within a hour, went out of his way to accommodate on a Sunday. Very happy with the results. Will use his services again."
"My experience with Rick" Decorating was impressive. The job ended up being far more difficult than either of us expected. Previous owners had painted over all the walls with both wallpaper and paint. Rick and his associates were able to repair the walls. They look brand new. I decided to use his company for the painting of the walls. The job turned out amazing; as well he installed some ceiling fans, light fixtures, light switches and other little things for no extra charge. He followed all condo rules and left place very clean. While not cheap, he was well within market price ( I checked). Excellent performance.

"On time, very courteous, went out of his way to make sure project was completed (he had to pick up a few items at Home Depot and return) -- would definitely recommend"
"Rick was wonderful. Great work, well done and they did it in no time. Also very friendly, courteous and super clean which is unheard of these days.
Would use them again in a heartbeat."
"Rick was very accommodating and knowledgeable. He was able to do the job the same day I called. He was friendly and had an overall great attitude. I was very impressed with how he worried about leaving the house as clean as he found it!"
"Rick was a real pleaseure to deal with. Very professional and he did excellent work!!! He helped out of a real jam and cannot thank him enough.
"
"Rick and his crew were very professional, prompt, courteous, and clean. The work was performed on time, as quoted, and very well. They went above and beyond expectations and I will definitely work with them again. Highest recommendation!!!!!!!! "
"Rick was able to begin the electrical work in my home within 3 days of presenting a very reasonable quote. My project involved installing recessed/can lighting, replacing all electrical outlets and switches, replacing ceiling fans, and adding a few more new outlets. He and his crew were very thorough, kept everything clean, and extremely respectful of my home and other contractors who were completing jobs at the same time. In addition, he was also able to fix a leak in the plumbing. I know that I have a few more future electrical needs, and he is definitely HIRED!"
"Prompt expert service. I am extremely pleased with the quality of service, and Rick's expertise."
"Rick does overall very good work and was able to do both the drywall replacement and painting which was more convenient than hiring 2 companies that often do not provide both services."
"Rick came to my condo yesterday. He found the problem with my chandelier immediately and it now lights up. He also fixed a ceiling fixture in closet. He had to replace the fixture so he left and was back with a new fixture within 1/2 hour. He was courteous and professional and I will be hiring him in the near future for a painting job."
"Rick's Decorating is an excellent service provider. Rick responded to my request promptly, and after a brief phone call to discuss the electrical repair I needed, he quoted me an estimate and agreed to come fix it the same day! He was very nice and professional, and ended up charging me exactly what he quoted over the phone. As a single woman who doesn't know a lot about repairs, I feared someone might take advantage and tack on last-minute "unexpected" charges. But luckily, I chose Rick and was quite relieved to find such an honest, dependable expert. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs household repairs!"
"Quality work. Respected the house and kept things clean and furniture undamaged."
"Rick came in time and budget. Very clean. We would recommend him for drywall or electrical work."
"Rick was extremely professional and his work on our ceiling repair was excellent. He also finished the work on short notice and as promised. Good value."
"We've used many different contractors in the past, no one has been as neat & clean as Rick's Decorating. They did a great job and delivered as promised. We've had them back two additional times and will continue to use them in the future. "
"Rick did a great job! The work done was completed on time and in budget. We were so pleased I have scheduled Rick to come back to my home and do some additional work late next January. Rick has a busy schedule but was/is certainly worth the wait."
"Rick and his crew worked cleanly and quickly. And he had very reasonable fees. - Thanks Rick!"
"Installed outlet for roof mounted antenna rotor. Appreciated his experience and suggestions for ideas to install. Happy with the installation experience"
