**The Business**…read more
Rodin painting is the best in class. Nick Rodin, the owner, has been painting for over 40 years and comes from a long line of professional painters. He now employs his nephew and grandson and is passing down all the tricks of the trade.
Bonnie, Nick's wife, is the unsung hero of all family owned businesses. She does their books, scheduling, written contracts, payroll; she's a jack of all trades. Bonnie's consistent communication throughout the process is second to none. Rest assured, Bonnie is always there to contact when you have questions and is just as knowledgeable (if not more so!) than some of the painters. I spent over 90 minutes on the phone with her at 9PM going over trim and body colors.
**The Service**
Nick did the walk through and quoted me the median price for painting the outside of the house. What really sold me when selecting between four painters was the professionalism and thorough contract that was drafted by Bonnie. Every single detail of what they were going to do: the type of primer, that type of paint, the removal of a satellite dish, was described in detail.
After the initial quote and paint-prepping phase of the process, I changed my mind. Rather than go with your standard acrylic-based paint, I wanted to go with elastomeric paint. Elastomeric paint is "thick as cranberries", as Nick put it, and demands to be hand rolled rather than sprayed on. It was amazing that they were able to work that unexpected change into their extremely tight schedule.
The total timeline was about 9 days. Not a single detail was missed. Nick is an absolute perfectionist when it comes to doors, vents, and stair rails.
**TLDR**
Suffice to say, my house looks absolutely amazing. Nick did an amazing job and Bonnie was a delight to work with. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to add significant value to their home. If you want to employ honest painters that will treat you like family, you've found the one.
