It was a very pleasant experience. Rick matched paint perfectly to back splash to to put in kitchen. He was very prompt and professional. Paint was part of total cost. Already have two more jobs in mind.

Very pleased with quality of work. Rick bought the paint I needed which I really liked since it saved me the trouble of going to the paint store. I told him the color and he did the rest.

From the initial contact, he was responsive, and did what he said he would, when he said he would. He was on time, and completed the work in less time than he had anticipated. We were a little up in the air with our start date (waiting for settlement to happen), and he worked with us, and scheduled us as soon as he could. He called when he said he would, showed up when he said he would, and completed the work before he estimated. I thought his price was reasonable. He alerted us to an issue with the bathroom (non-paint related), and since we are not living at the address yet, that helped us out to be made aware of it. I would hire him again in a heartbeat! Thanks!
Description of Work: Rick painted a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo for us.

Rick was a pleasure to work with. He was very friendly, responsive, punctual, and courteous. I have never hired a painter before, so I don't have much to compare the experience to, but I thought the price was reasonable, and the results look good to me! I would recommend this provider for similar services.

My husband and I are very pleased with the work performed by Rick. My husband initially called Rick to obtain an estimate for the painting of our son's bedroom which had a semi-gloss finish and we wanted it painted in a flat finish. My husband scheduled a time for Rick to come out to the house to see the room and give us an estimate. We felt the the price was more than fair. We set a day for Rick to start. He completed the painting of the walls and tirm in two days. We were so pleased with how my son's room came out and how quickly it was completed that we hired Rick to paint our bedroom. I would definitely recommend Rick. He is prompt, polite and very professional. We plan to use Rick for future painting projects in our home.

Yes, it went fine. Rick had to coordinate with another repairman who was handling electrical and could not do all of his work until the other person was finished. They coordinated well. Rick came when expected and cleaned up each day. I would definitely recommend him.

I contacted Rick for an estimate through Angie's List. He contacted me the following day after my request to set up a time. We ended up going with another painter and I forgot to contact him back to let him know. He followed up a couple of days later to make sure I had received his original correspondence. He was very friendly via email and I really appreciated his follow up. Even though we decided to go in a different direction, his responsiveness was a definite plus!

Mr. Shoemaker explained to me over the phone that he might not be able to do our job if the wall height required scaffolding as he works alone but that he was willing to come and look at the house. He came on time and, after examining one of our walls which was over 18' in height, declined to bid. He was very professional and courteous. I would call him again if we had interior painting needs for walls of less that 13' in height or any other painting needs.

Rick was always prompt, kept in phone contact with me during the day if there were questions, was neat and kept to the time frame he indicated. Given the fact that the bedroom he painted had black and red walls, he completely transformed it into something more inviting for potential buyers. When the paint he had purchased for the kitchen turned out to the be wrong color, he went back obtained the right color and completed the job on time.
Description of Work: Painted our kitchen, walls and ceiling, trim around garage door, trim around closet doors in two bedrooms, primed and painted on bedroom completely, painted closet doors in two bedrooms and touched up part of the foyer wall.

Rick was punctual and considerate in every aspect of the job; from his original estimate to actually beginning the work. He contacted us at the appropriate times to arrange for starting day and a time that were convenient for us. He showed up on time, worked a full day and was extrememly neat in all aspects of his work. Linda and I felt safe having him in our home and the finished product was outstanding! We will continue to use his services every year to help keep up with our old house and would have no reservations recommending him.
Description of Work: Our arrangement was for wall painting only, no trim and included finish sanding of plaster staircase walls that had been repaired. The work included our dining room, foyer and staircase walls for three floors. Hard to estimate the total square footage painted but in a 1897 Victorian home, the ceilings are very high with a lot of trim to negotiate painting flat surfaces.

Rick Shoemaker's estimate was easily among two of the lowest of the five estimates we received for this large job. Unfortunately I did go with another company for the job. However, I would not have hesitated to go with Rick and I will seek him out if future painting work is needed.
Description of Work: Rick Shoemaker promptly visited our large 2-story home in Sharpley (north of Wilmington, DE) and promptly provided a professional estimate.

Rick came out and painted the hallways in our stairwells, it was a very difficult job as the ceilings are very high and hard to reach. He was very quick to respond to my initial phone calls, and worked with us to figure out a date to come out and do the work, he did a fabulous job with our hallways and completed it very quickly. He was very professional the entire time and even sent us a thank you note! I will defintiely hire him again for any painting that we need done around the house he did a fabulous job!

Overall good experience. He was prompt in coming out to look at the job and took a thorough look at the house before making his decision.
Description of Work: Rick came in to give an estimate on our job. He was up front and honest to say that the job (interior painting and handyman work on a 2500 s.f. house) was too big for him to handle as a one-man operation.

From start to finish, Rick did an amazing job. He accomodated our schedule to meet with us for the estimate, and had a lot of good clarifying questions and some good advice regarding questions we had. Rick arrived exactly when planned and got everything done within a week. Rick called us after work was finished to make sure water stained areas that he painted were adequately covered. He is really conciensciuos and we will definitely call him again.
Description of Work: Interior painting of foyer, wall next to stairs, dining room, family room, foyer doors, bedroom ceilings. We have a three story city Victorian and Rick painted entire wall next to stairs, and did a beautiful job in hard to reach places that we have never been able to paint in the 10 years we have lived in our house.
