Chuck did a wonderful job. He responds quickly and professionally. His crew showed up on time and did a wonderful job. We only had 2 days and they were able to finish our list plus 2 rooms that we added at the last minute. We are hiring him again to finish painting the interior of the house.

The entire process made me feel confident the job would be done well and completed on time. The guys were professional and always here when they said they would be. I had one small concern at the completion of the project and they took care of it exactly when they said they would. This was done even after I had paid the balance. Great experience. I received 3 quotes on the work from different companies and they were a bit higher in price, but from experience, I've learned you get what you pay for. Totally worth the extra money.

The person I spoke to said our garage painting project "was not a good fit" based on a phone conversation, not an actual in person inspection. He also used the expression "lipstick on a pig." Did that refer to our painting project? I don't know.

Response from Chuck Rader Master Painter & Remodeler
Yes [Member Name Removed], painting a garage floor with conventional floor and porch enamel is failure waiting to happen. We strive to only do jobs that there is a very good chance of success. Not all jobs are a good fit for all service people and when this happens we decline to bid. I'm sorry that you didn't understand this after more than 15 minutes of interview on the phone. Good luck!

Positively stellar! I’m about to put my house up for sale, and since the house hadn’t been painted in about 15 years, it needed a serious face lift. Chuck’s team certainly delivered! They were extremely professional, tackled every blemish on every wall, and didn’t complain as I looked over their shoulder. :-). They are now my One and Only Go-To team when I need painting. Thanks Chuck!

Very professional job. Cabinet doors were sprayed and the frame hand painted and new hardware installed We are very happy with the finished product. Our cabinets are 50 years old and they look brand new with the paint job. there were a couple of issues that needed to be followed up on for the job to be completed, Chuck followed up via phone immediately and had painters out here the next day to complete the work. We would recommend Chuck Rader painting for any painting needs.

I was so impressed with Chuck Rader’s company. Their work is both fast and excellent. Mr. Rader has a great foreman who was very respectful of my wishes but also gave wise advice and suggestions. I live out of town and I really felt I could trust this group with access to the house. On my next visit, there were a few small things I wanted them to look at. They were at the house in less than 24 hours to make adjustments. I highly recommend this company and wish they were in my own town!

Chuck and his crew did a great job on the exterior of our office building in downtown Louisville. The bid was a bit lower than some others we had, but the quality of the work was second-to-none. Communication was excellent. The price was very fair. I'd definitely hire this company again.

Great team! Painted exterior doors and trim and they now look nearly new! They also painted our gutters and caulked all windows and doors. We are extremely happy with the results! Fabulous people to work with and have already hired them to power wash and stain our deck!

Cannot say enough about this awesome group of people! We have had them in our home twice now and they are a true pleasure to work with from start to finish. Emails, texts and phone calls are normally responded to the same day. Chuck and his team were always on time, very professional, kind and efficient. The quality of the paint they use is very good and when completed all of our rooms looked bright, clean and lovely! When people come to our home they always comment about the exceptional quality of the paint job! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!

Excellent! Needed a master bath updated and called Mr. Rader to come out and provide me with recommendations and an estimate. Had worked with him before and knew he could provide me with a workable and affordable plan. He was there to advise me every step of the way in selecting fixtures, colors and finishes - including a beautiful faux-marble whirlpool tub and shower, ceramic tile, double-sink vanity, heat lamp, etc. The project was managed with a minimum of disruption to my household from demo to installation to completion. Great job! Love how it looks!

Perfect! The first time I called Chuck I had a long list of projects (painting, wallpaper removal/replacement, repairs, etc.) that needed attention. My large deck was also in sore need of attention. I thought that it would need to be torn down and replaced due to the disrepair. But Chuck suggested a thorough power-wash and application of a new type of deck stain he had recently started using. When his team was finished, the deck looked like new! Every couple of years (like this one) only a power-wash and touch-up keep it looking like new. His expertise and professionalism saved me a lot of money and have added tremendous value to my home. I could not be any happier with the service I have received from Chuck and his team!

The crew slopped paint around, didn't scrape like they should have and when I asked Chuck to come look at the work they still didn't do much better. It was one thing after the other. They purposely knocked down all three of our beds of ferns. They also cut a plant next to a gate. He did replace two out of six of our azaleas. We had to make two call backs to clean the paint smeared on the glass of our windows. One of the painters was excellent, so I requested that person to come back out to fix the issues. He only came back one day and then someone else was sent who was sloppy. They asked to be paid in full prior to the work being completed and when I said I would not he stomped out of my home upset. I had to pick up hundreds of cigarette butts one of which was on a wooden deck which could have caused a fire. The job was sloppily done. The whole experience was just so complicated. I will not use their service again or recommend them.

Mr. Radar chose not to do the work because he said the work required in the beginning is not what he thought , yet it says on description of services he is a remodeling company. It was a weird experience for us.

Response from Chuck Rader Master Painter & Remodeler
Mrs Sandman called to get some drywall repair and painting. I came out and the remodel work was in the progress of being done by someone other than us and I based the estimate on minor skimming repair and painting. I didn't feel good about just going out to do the work without seeing what was going to have to be done so I scheduled an appointment to see the finished product to find walls needed to be built, hanging drywall needed to be done, then she said she wanted us to do carpentry work, install shower doors, trim work and I explained had I been the remodeler I would have had the people necessary to do the remodel lined up at the time the job was ready. The bottom line was that the owner acted as the general contractor and got in [Member Information Removed] over their head and expected that we would do what they couldn't. I promptly gave a full refund of the deposit tendered and told her I didn't have the resources available to do that work on the spur of the moment and that she would have to find someone else . In talking to the plumber who had referred us on the job shared there was friction with their work because the owner had gotten the wrong size shower to be installed and the owners were angry with them that they couldn't make it work.

Initial call for information was returned promptly, as was appointment for quote. His crew arrived promptly on date promised and took great care covering everthing before starting. Work was completed as promised in 5 days and I am very satisfied with the quality of their work. The cabinets look like brand new. Thanks for a great job

Great. Chuck and his crew did a great job. His painters were awesome. They pay attention to all details and do extra things to really make things look fantastic. The tall walls in the living room look great with nothing but a smooth, very beautiful clean look. The painters were easy to communicate with, super friendly and very nice, thoughtful people. They listened to every question I asked and made sure they made us happy with all of our requests. They really did a great job.
