  Ryan was great to work with. He came over to give me an estimate and was able to fit me in the schedule to do the job within the week. His crew headed by Jonathan were great and efficient. I'm very happy with the way everything turned out. Thank you Ryan!!

  Our house is unique. It's Second Empire with a mansard roof, arches, and intricate window surrounds, built in 1869 by Mead and Taft. When my husband and I bought it, we wanted to be good stewards of its history and did extensive interior restoration, but left the exterior alone. Over the years, the original brick had been covered by stucco and then paint, which we thought we could wait to restore. But English ivy took over, and after pulling it off, we started looking for a contractor. That was an interesting experience. The ones who even bothered to show up weren’t really enthusiastic about the project, and no one inspired our confidence in their ability to replicate the woodwork. Then we found Ryan Clarkin. Like our house, Ryan is unique. After meeting with other contractors, meeting him was like a breath of fresh air! He showed interest in our house, looked carefully, listened well, and saw its problems as a challenge to take on. He told us he has a master carpenter in his crew, and that he would restore our beautiful house to its former glory. Before leaving that day, he gave us a workup of the total cost, an amount that we thought was fair. But by then it was September, so we decided to wait until Spring to schedule the work. To be honest, we were dreading the process. My husband and I are well into our 70s, and weren’t sure how we would manage the noise and disruption. But Ryan’s crew is considerate and polite; they took great care covering our pond and plants every day, and Dave is a first-rate foreman. Ryan was accessible and accommodating throughout the process. When the base color and one of the accents we chose didn’t look right in nature’s reflection, Ryan mixed in pigments by hand until the colors were exactly what we wanted. When we were concerned that some of the surfaces weren’t smooth enough, he decided to direct his crew to continue working on them until we were completely happy…even though he was leaving for vacation and probably wanted our house finished before he left. A rainy June had set the project back. Ryan left for vacation, but Dave was there every day, as he had been since day 1. A few days later, our house was finally finished. Dave took photos to send to Ryan, we said goodbye to Dave and the crew, and my husband and I celebrated. Later that day, we got a text from Dave: Ryan saw a spot from a photo that didn’t look smooth enough, and he asked Dave to return and re-do it. My husband and I had to laugh…after all our perfectionism about the finish, it was Ryan, on vacation in Portugal, who decided something wasn’t smooth enough! So, it was a big, complicated job, made more complicated by April weather in June But Ryan did everything he said he would do, we got exactly what we wanted, and I don’t believe we would have gotten these results from any other contractor.

  Ryan and his team were professional, prompt, and neat while doing their painting work. They prepared the area and worked hard to match the paint perfectly. They came quickly to provide me with an estimate and did the work the next day. I would highly recommend Ryan's Painting for all of your painting projects.

  Ryan and his crew have been amazing from day one! We wanted to paint the vinyl siding and through Ryan, we learned the ins and outs of what was safe and doable. After learning that the color we thought we wanted wasn’t going to be an option, with Ryan’s help, we picked a different color. The guys came when they said they would and did the entire house and shed in three days. It’s very rare that when you anticipate something and you want something so badly, that it ever really comes out the way you pictured it. I was in shock when I saw the first side of the house painted and it was exactly what we wanted! The guys were very nice, hard working and very respectful. They were meticulous with painting and the cleanup. We will be using them again.
