Review by Kim D. in Northbrook, IL
Project: Paint, Varnish or Stain Interior Surfaces
I am beyond happy with Rick's Decorating. We are putting my mother's house on the market and needed a complete interior and partial exterior paint job. I live out of state, so timing was my first issue. Rick was prompt from our first meeting through the entire project. His quoting was very accurate. He used professional materials. Removed wallpaper that had been previously been painted over many times so he could get a good result. His crew logs in on computer so you are not paying for paint drying. Even put in some light fixtures and bathroom counters and fixtures. I really can't say enough. My realtor was also delighted.

Project: Install Electrical Switches, Outlets, and Fixtures
Rick painted and did all the electrical work in our new home. We had a very good experience working with Rick and his team. For first timers like us Rick was pretty accomodative of our requirements and changes. All his work was very nice and clean. I would surely recommend Rick.

Review by Shrirang M. in Arlington Heights, IL
Project: Install Electrical Switches, Outlets, and Fixtures
We hired Rick's Decoratig Service to install recessed lighting in our living room and kitchen.From the start Rick worked with us.He gave us ideas ,offered low cost options and provided long term insight.He did the complete work right from electrical to drywall repair.He also ran to homedepot when we bought the wrong kind of switch.Apart from being a thorough professional,he was also courteous and polite and cared about not making a mess;as was his son.We'd hire him again and also recommend him to all our friends.

Review by a customer in Mount Prospect, IL
Project: Repair Drywall
The repair was done very nicely. No problems whatsoever.
Comment from Rick's Decorating Service
Puzzled by this disappointing mark! I ask each of them if all was good and they said yes. He comments "The repair was done very nicely. No problems whatsoever." Then why the low mark? I tried to contact them and ask what I could have done to improve on the mark but my call was not returned. It could be they skipped a few of the 6 different question ratings and did not realize the impact.

Review by Dee C. in Long Grove, IL
Project: Paint, Varnish or Stain Exterior Surfaces
I picked Rick's decorating service, since he provided a reference that has exactly tudor home as mine and he painted and fixed 6 years ago. The work Rick did on my house is excellent. Although the final cost exceeded his estimate, I will definately use him again.
Comment from Rick's Decorating Service
This was a job of extreme repairs do to neglect from the previous owners. I tried to hint how hard it is to estimate a project that requires so much stucco board and rotten wood replacement until you build the scaffold and get up there. You estimate from what you see on the ground. But now they are set for years to come.
