We hired Rite Way Painting on a referral from HomeAdvisor. They were hired to remove popcorn ceilings, repair any drywall blemishes, apply new ceiling texture and paint the ceilings in 4 rooms. On a positive note, they started the job when promised and were at the jobsite promptly every morning. The men were friendly and, in my opinion, seemed trustworthy. They were also short-handed the last day because of a medical issue with one of the employees. That being said, overall, we were not impressed with the completed job. They did a poor job of masking off the walls in the rooms, which is critical, then evidently didn't check their work as they went along, resulting in as much as a half inch of overspray on a few walls. They didn't check for gaps in the corners, so some places have 3 to 4 in. of white overspray onto the darker wall paint, and in one place it runs almost a foot down into the corner. They didn't remove one screw from a smoke alarm mounting disk in one room, leaving it hanging off-center on the ceiling, then sprayed over it, leaving no texture or paint on that very visible area. They applied the texture spray unevenly, leaving clearly visible strips of drywall seam tape over the length of the ceilings. They also left large white paint smears and drips on several walls that are painted in darker earth tones. Gino, the owner, made some excuses about heat and humidity affecting the masking tape and something about the texture not sticking right to the drywall tape, but made no offer to correct any of the issues. All in all, a very unsatisfactory outcome.
