Robert and his team did an excellent job repairing and painting siding on my house. I had several sections of failing siding on my house. Robert was able to inspect the siding, give me a quote, and complete the work all within 1 week. He was fairly priced, had great communication, and his team was very efficient and professional. Robert went above and beyond by providing me a list of all my interior and exterior paint colors, by replacing an additional piece of failing siding that we noticed as his team was finishing up, and by giving me advice on siding maintenance that I can do myself. I’d recommend River City Painting to friends and family.Posted on Google![]()
