We had the complete exterior of our home and trim painted. Ryan is very professional and we were extremely impressed with his presentation of what he could offer when he came for the estimate. We had a great experience with this company. Ryan and his team were promptly there at 8am each morning as promised and completed the job in the amount of time as proposed. We are extremely impressed with the hand painting rather than the spray painting that other companies offered. We continue to receive compliments on how nice of a job was done on our house. We would definitely use them again and highly recommended R W Miller to anyone looking for any type of painting project to be completed.

Very well. Ryan was professional, friendly and thorough; gave us a detailed "estimate", and did not vary from it; used the specific product we requested despite it not being his usual. He & his assistant worked efficiently, finished within his projected time-frame, and left the worksite neat & clean. The house looks better than it has in years.

Everything went very well. Ryan is extremely prompt in getting back to you, arrives on time and delivers on what he quotes. When I was provided with an estimate, they were booked out a couple months. However, I got a call to move up my appointment by a couple weeks which was great. The day of work went very smoothly. Ryan and his crew arrived right when he said they would, completed all the work without incident and headed out. Everything they painted looks great. I absolutely will use them for painting going forward.
Description of Work: I needed a relatively small painting job done on the exterior trim of my house. It included the front door frame, the overhang/columns by the front door and then all the wood trim around the garage and basement windows. Everything needed to be scaped and two coats applied.

We had used RW Miller before to paint the house exterior 8 years ago and to paint a 2-story hallway interior. As always, they were prompt and professional. The work was excellent. We consider them our "go-to" contractors for painting.

Mr. Miller was punctual, professional and meticulous. He had two coworkers who were equally good. Five rooms were either painted and or wallpapered in the stipulated period of time ( 7 days ). Each night ,the worked on rooms were cleaned and made ready for our use overnight which was very convenient since they were bedrooms, bathrooms and the kitchen. A kitchen window was inadvertently cracked when replacing the lock. Mr. Miller immediately assumed responsibility and notified his insurance who paid for the repair. I can recommend him without reserve.

Ryan and his team are extremely professional from cost estimate through project completion. The project involved a considerable amount of preparation of the trim, which they did very thoroughly. Attention to detail was excellent. They were careful to protect areas against potential paint drips or spillage. They arrived promptly in the morning and worked efficiently through the day. They, with the help of the weather, were able to meet their schedule. The team was friendly and accommodating. I would definitely give the highest recommendation to Ryan Miller Painting.

Mr. Miller responded promptly to my telephone inquiry in the spring of 2012, and provided me with an estimate. He did not want any deposit at that time. He referred me to another individual, who replaced the shutters and the shingles that were damaged. (I paid that individual separately.) Mr. Miller promptly called me in September, when the work was to be performed, and completed the job on time, The house looks splendid, better than I anticipated. It is difficult to find someone who knows how to clean and properly stain cedar shakes. I would hire him again.
Description of Work: The cedar shakes on my 50 year old Cape house needed cleaning and staining. In addition, the trim on the entire house, and the screened in porch, needed to be painted. Some of the shakes needed to be replaced, due to woodpecker damage. A few of the shutters also needed replacing.

Ryan came to my home to provide a written estimate. He arrived on time, was outgoing, pleasant and professional. He agreed to do the work as described, including prepping the walls, repairing peeling dry wall tape along the vaulted ceiling, repairing nail holes and popped nails, as well as to take down and re-hang 124" draperies in the dining area since I'm terrified of heights. The quality of the paint was important to me since I had saved a long time to have the work done and needed it to last. I like Benjamin Moore (BM) "Aura" paint, but he told me it dries too quickly and was too difficult to work with and that he "always" used BM "Regal" paint, for which he provided a brochure. I was familiar with it and happy with it's quality and we set a date for the work. His estimated time-to-completion was 3 days. Ryan stopped in briefly on the first day as they were setting up and agreed to accommodate my request to add the small entry and hall to the job. He also demonstrated how they would repair popped nails. He told me he expected to be finished in 2 days but would allow for the original three in case they were needed. His two painters were prompt, polite, quiet and professional and worked efficiently. They masked, laid out canvas dropcloths, moved and draped furniture, and began to paint. The work was completed in 2 days. At the end of the project, one of the painters pointed out some blisters in the finish, scattered in spots around the walls. He told me they would probably settle on their own and to give them a few days. If they didn't, he assured me they would be back to address them. On general exam, the job looked good. They did a great job repairing the dry wall tape and cutting-in under the ceilings. However, on close exam, most of the popped nails had not been repaired, but painted over. There were numerous areas where paint had bled or dripped onto woodwork and mouldings, one area over a door where only a single coat of paint had been applied and the old color showed through, and the holes left in the window trim by old hardware had not been repaired as discussed, but painted over as well. I also discovered that the can of leftover paint they left behind was BM "Ben" paint, which according to the BM website is a less expensive, lower quality paint than the "Regal" I had paid for. Also, the blisters never "settled". The painters promptly arranged a time to return and worked dilligently to repair the blisters. I pointed out the popped nails, and the painter told me that he had never been told to repair them, but set about doing so anyway. He also applied the second coat of paint to the underpainted area and scraped paint off the ends of the wood banister. After another return trip and another unsuccessful attempt to repair the blisters, Ryan returned himself and was successful in doing so. At that time, I pointed out my displeasure with the use of "Ben" paint and with the unrepaired popped nails (with more hostility than I intended, for which I appologized). He told me that they had spent "four hours prepping the walls", that he "always use(s) Ben" paint and that he had never had a customer "quibble" over details like I did. He reimbursed the $36 dollars he owed me (slapped $40 on the kitchen island and told me to "keep the change"). First, I suspect that if I owed him $36 he wouldn't consider it quibbling. Second, if the original job estimate was 3 days and it ended up taking 2, why was prep time limited to only 4 hours when that clearly wasn't enough time to complete it? Finally, as a nurse, I don't consider any of my client's needs or requests to be "quibbling". I simply consider that to be good customer service. In conclusion, I would rate Ryan's workers highly on professionalism, but not Ryan. I was not happy with the quality of work initially done, but I was impressed with how dilligent they were in correcting it. However, I would not do business with this company again because I do not feel that Ryan was entirely honest with me.

Ryan Miller is very quick, precise, detailed and definite in his quotes. Much of his pricing is standardised based on room size and such. Quotations seemed quite reasonable. The work was done precisely as quoted, nothing more, nothing less. This suited me fine, but might be an issue of contention if you expect the contractor to take care of minor details that you had not thought of initially. In my case he came up with a reasonable change quote within minutes and fit the additonal work into his schedule in a timely fashion. I am pleased with the work he did and appreciated his efficiency and precision in quoting and in doing the work.

From first phone call setting up an estimate meeting to settling up on the final day of painting everything went completely smoothly. Our proposal came with a professional letter claiming that we could count on a "stress-free" experience if we chose to accept the proposal. We went with them after receiving one higher bid and one lower bid. What we got was exactly what they promised - A COMPLETELY stress-free experience. The painters were so professional, quiet and neat. Every evening when they went home all their supplies and equipment got stacked neatly in one out of the way corner of the property. The house has never looked better and we couldn't be happier. A word of advice though - They were booked for about 6 weeks when we hired them so line up your job early. They were up front with when they would be able to begin and they were exactly on target. They are well worth the wait...

Ryan and his crew are true porfessionals and very easy to work with. They did a superb job and I fully intend to call upon them again next year to paint some rooms in my homw.
Description of Work: I obtained Ryan W. Miller Painting , Inc. name from Angie's list in March and called Ryan Miller. I left him a message which he returned within an hour of my initial phone call. Ryan arranged to come and look at my shutters to see what needed to be done and arrived exactly on the dot at the time he said he would. He provided me with references, insurance liability info without me even asking for it, along with a written estimate for painting the window shutters on our six year old home. I told him that I would purchase the Benjamin Moore paint that I preferred he use and he told me exactly how much I would need. He scheduled the work to be done in May and called me several days in advance, as promised, to give me the exact date and time he and his crew would arrive. They arrived on time and even agreed to paint a shed and a Bilco door which I added to their list upon their arrival.

Ryan was punctual, friendly, courteous and extremely well prepared - offering a binder of evaluation forms that were completed by his customers. All of these ratings, and there were a large number, appeared to give him all "A's" He left me with a very detailed, written estimate, which I appreciated, as other contractors were not as complete. He answered all questions and took time to explain the things I needed to know. In the end, I did not choose him, only because I decided to have the brick removed and Ryan stated he does not do the drywall work. Too bad; I would liked to have hired him.
Description of Work: I contacted Ryan for an estimate to paint the upstairs area of my raised ranch, including the stair case up & down with lower hallway, and excluding the bathroom and bedrooms. I was uncertain at the time of estimate whether I wanted two walls with fake brick painted, or to have it removed and new sheet rock put up. I received three estimates, for painting only, and his was in the middle ($1500).

I really was quite pleased. He was very professional. My husband is very fussy and he was pleased. When Ryan came to give me the estimate, I was impressed with him. He had his references in a notebook and he presented that to me. At the end he gave me an itemized list of what he would charge to do what. He was just extremely professional. You could tell he was a busy guy. He arrived on time and he gave me this notebook. He looked at the job and went into his truck and wrote up his estimate. Two days later I got a letter in the mail thanking me for giving him a chance to bid. He had a coupon in a local mailer that had the price of $185 per room. When we looked at him in the first place, in March of 2010, he couldn’t paint our house until July. Even in the fall, maybe September, he came again because I wanted the inside of the house done. He couldn’t get to it until January. At one point when he was doing the exterior, we had to be out of town and we had to change the date by a week. That was okay because he had other business he could do. He was very fair in quoting his price and what it was including. I would definitely have him again. When he worked during the summer, he only let his workers work until 2:00 in the afternoon because it was so hot; I thought that was very considerate. When they came in January it had snowed and they laid down coverings on the floor.
Description of Work: I used Ryan Miller Painting last year, in January 2011. He only had two guys that worked for him; he’s a small business. He painted my dining room, living room, bedroom, some ceilings and he took some paper off in a bathroom and repainted it. He also, the year prior, had painted the exterior of our house.
