The guys & gals work hard and do a fantastic job from prep to finish. They painted a huge house in my neighborhood, interior and exterior. I kept my eye on the progress, was impressed and now I use and recommend them. read more

Richard is prompt, professional, competitive in price and has a great team. I needed two rooms painted swiftly and he came same day to estimate and had a crew here the following morning. They were professional, kind and did a fine job. I highly recommend Richard's Painting Service. I called them back for another job and his team is top notch kind and professional. So full of aloha and 'get er done right! Mahalo nui and do consider Richard and his team for more than just painting! These guys know their stuff! read more

I'm renting a townhouse in Ewa Beach. It's cute, but it looked a little dingy and dirty because the walls were scuffed from previous tenants. The landlord didn't want to paint it before I moved in but gave me permission to paint if if I wanted to. I knew that I definitely did not know how to paint so I contacted a few professional painters to give me quotes. Out of all the painters, Richard was the first one to show up and give me a quote. He came to the house the same day I contacted him and even waited for me because I was running late (like 30 minutes late). I felt bad for being so late but he assured me that it was fine. He came inside with one of his crew members, walked through the house and gave me a quote on the spot. He was very good at explaining the different Sheens of paint he would use and the way he and his crew would paint the interior of the town home. He answered all my questions and assured me the job would be done by Friday that week if I were to choose him. After he left that day, I took a few days to get other quotes from other painters. All of them were about $400-$500 more than Richard. Well I ended up choosing Richard and his crew for the job because of the competitive price, the good reviews on yelp, and because he was so prompt in getting over to the house to give me my quote!!! He was also the only painter that could get the job done the soonest which was good for me because I wanted the house painted before I started moving my household goods in. Richard and his crew got to work that very next day. They were very professional and cleaned up after themselves everyday they were in the townhome. They ended up getting the job done by Wednesday that week instead of Friday. Two days sooner than what he estimated during the time of the quote!!!! The town home looked so fresh and clean after his paint job! I was so happy. He made the place I will be living in for the next 2 + years look so pretty and new! I recommend Richard and his crew for all of your painting needs. I'm going to be calling him again to install some ceiling fans too. He also is very prompt in responding to text messages and always answers the phone!! Another thing I liked!! Totally recommend him and his crew read more

Overall we had a very bad experience with Richard. My mistake was, I paid Richard before everything got done. I thought everything should have been OK since I saw he fixed my walls pretty well. He finished painting on 15th, When I went to the house on Aug 16th, I noticed he missed painting the ceiling and the back wall of one of the closets. In my living room one of the curtain rod supporting brackets was pulled almost all the way out of the wall and bent. So I took the pictures to him and he called me very soon and told me he would fix it the next day. I was still happy even I found the problems, but not a big deal, as long as he was willing to fix it. So I called him the next day(16th) to check what time he would be there. Then he told me he wouldn't be on this island and would be back on Sunday. He told me Monday would be ok and would let me know what time on Monday. So I called him on Monday(20th), he said he wasn't available. At this point, I still had faith in him and still believed him. So we made an appointment for 8:30-9am on Thursday the 23rd, and I texted him to confirm on Wednesday night. He never replied to me. The next morning I got up early to get ready to meet him, I texted him again before I left the house and he texted me back. He told me he would not be able to make it because of weather alerts of hurricane that could impact the island. I was surprised that he hadn't bothered to tell me about his change of plans until I called him and texted him. Then my husband talked to him on the phone and he told my husband he could finish the job on Monday at 10 am. On Monday the same thing happened. He couldn't make it again and he never let me know he changed his mind until I called him. Then he told me he could make it on Tuesday the 28th at noon. The evening of the 27th, I texted him to confirm. He replied to me YES. So I arrived at the house at 12 noon and waited for him until 12:40. I didn't see him, so I texted him and called him a few times and he never replied. Then I used another phone to call. This time he picked up and after he recognized my voice, he hung up right way. To be fair, Richard did a very good job with the parts that were completed before I paid him. But once I paid him, he became unreliable and never finished the job. Richard, you should just be an honest person. You are not a kid, no need to play such kind of game over and over. In order to have a good reputation and business, you should learn how to be an honest man. Don't be a liar. You wasted over ten days of my time. I read the reviews here, I just found another customer had a similar experience as me. I wished I had have read the review earlier. read more

Richard and his crew were great! We had a potentially messy job that was completed with minimal mess. He was fair with his pricing. They moved our furniture around to get the job done. Richard is friendly and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help out. He promised that the job would be done on a specific date...and it was done a few days earlier! read more

Very impressed by the crews professionalism and attention to detail. Our house was not an easy project but it was finished in a timely manner and we are are pleased with the results. Thanks Richard and the crew. read more

Richard was such a help in repairing some damage done to our new home was given a quote right away And was available to do the repairs when needed was efficient and friendly will definitely be calling him for any future needs read more

Very pleased with the work they did! Richard was quick to respond when I reached out via yelp and came out the next day to provide a quote. When this was received a few days later it was thorough which is appreciated and they were able to get to work almost immediately. Because my husband is deployed, it was a great help to me that they assisted in moving my larger furniture to the center of each room. The paint job was also done very well and included all rooms except the interior of my closets, interior doors, and kitchen cabinets. If I had one criticism, it would be that they did get a bit of paint on my shower and light fixtures that was easy to clean but nonetheless happened. I got my floors done a few weeks later and Richard was kind enough to come back out and do some touch ups afterward (for a small fee) from where furniture/appliances had damaged the paint. Overall, I would definitely use them again! read more

Right off the bat, we told Richard what we wanted because the last guy who tried to paint our small condo did a terrible job. He sounded confident and like he could deliver what we wanted. He told us when he'll start and that he was also in between jobs --totally understandable. We already had our barriers on the floor throughout the condo. But he said he'll put up his own as well. However, that was not done. When we came to check the work after a few days, there were small paint spots on the vinyl floor due to the tears in the barrier. We let it go and didn't make a big deal out of it. The job wasn't completed on time as promised, but it was fine because we were very particular and didn't want to rush him. When we came for the final walk through, the trim paint job came out good, but there were some small areas on the doors that weren't completely painted. He said it was the shadow. C'mon --we've been nice, but not stupid and blind. It was right before the holidays so he said he'll come back in January to do the touch ups. Ok, fine. The estimate was $2,200 (for less than 600 sq ft). We gave him $2,000. He said to give him the $200 when he's completely done in January. He held on to the keys. Come January, no word from him. Tried to reach him many times and left multiple messages. We got nothing. Finally, using a different number to call him, he picked up. He said he wasn't on island. At this point, we weren't gonna wait around for him to complete the job. We just wanted our keys back. He could've just told us if he didn't want to finish it. Just be honest. When we started to do the touch ups ourselves, we found more unpainted areas. Called him and he said he'll come and take a look. He didn't show up. We called several times and left messages again. And of course, he's not gonna pick up anymore. It's very hard to find people who are going to stand by their work and are professionals. He may sound all great and promising at first, but please be aware. $2,000 for his awesome paint job and communication..he basically stole it from us. We actually thought of hiring him for our house later, but after this...smh. 4 stars for his paint job on the trim ONLY 0 stars for communication I wouldn't really look on yelp for contractors. Word of mouth is better. read more

We chose Richard's Painting Service after checking out yelp reviews and seeking out other bids. We now see why he got such positive reviews. Richard & his crew were professional, punctual, friendly, grateful and courteous. I appreciated the fact that Richard & his crew kept communication going & we always were apprised of what was happening. I was so pleased with them and their work that I immediately referred them to our neighbors. Btw, my husband, who is a discerning architect with high standards, was quite pleased with their work. Overall, Richard's Painting is quite reasonable in price, does excellent work, is attentive to detail, is friendly, punctual, and efficient in their work. Highly recommend! read more

First of all, I try to be honest. Richard was the first one to give me a quote (others came after a few days delay). He was very professional. Straight to the point. Offered advice on colors, and types of paint to use. Patched, and smoothed areas other painters might have just painted over. Went above and beyond. Had a skilful crew. Richard stayed on top of everything, doing all the difficult stuff himself. On top of what I would consider a perfect job, he did it fast, efficient, and priced way under the other quotes I finally received, due to his having an open time available before his next big job. Thank you. read more

I got stuck in DIY hell when something I'd painted bubbled, peeled and in general turned out terrible. I had no idea how to fix the mess I'd made and decided to call in a pro. Richard's knowledge and expertise saved my dining room table and now I get tons of compliments. I can't say enough about how helpful and skilled he is, thanks a million Richard! read more

Hired Richard to paint my house in preparation for sale and can't say enough good things about him as owner or about his crew. Richard is easy to work with, he's very professional, and his prices are competitive, which is why we hired him in the first place. But I have to say once the work started, we felt we got a REALLY good deal as his crew was hands down the best I've ever had working on a house I've owned in the 40 years since I bought my first home in Honolulu. These guys are friendly, easy to have around, and genuinely nice people. I had no problem leaving my house open to go on errands while they were working. Richard was always available if the crew bumped up against a problem and his guys take zero shortcuts even when they hit an unexpected complication. They completed the work timely (a couple of rain delays but the total job time was exactly what Richard had estimated) and cleaned up after themselves every day. I recommend Richard 100% and am so pleased to have found him on Yelp! read more
