RCA Painting LLC

Ask around Rehoboth about a painting job done right, and the word that keeps coming up is prep work — sanding, scraping and priming before a single coat goes on. RCA Painting LLC, a family-owned shop on Providence Street, says it's been at this for 25 years, mostly interior and exterior painting, deck and porch restoration, cabinet refinishing and some carpentry folded into the bigger jobs. The written record backs that reputation up over a long stretch. Google shows a 4.9-star average from 37 ratings and Houzz a perfect 5.0 from 6, and the story holds from a 2013 review describing the crew scraping a house down to fresh wood before repainting, through a 2020 Houzz review crediting founder Richard for the same painstaking color consultation and prep customers still describe today. When Stephen and Cori took over running the business, the transition didn't disrupt much — one longtime client says RCA has painted and stained the same house's exterior several times over more than 20 years and pitched in on carpentry along the way. Recent jobs follow the same shape: full exterior repaints, multi-room interior work, and a front-porch restoration where the crew sanded and stained the wood back to its original look. Its website states EPA/RRP lead-safe certification, worth knowing given how much older housing stock is around here. Houzz also lists a license number for the business; it's worth confirming directly if the exact scope of that registration matters for the job. For an interior or exterior repaint — especially one that could use some carpentry alongside it — this is a company whose customers keep coming back over years, sometimes decades. Ask how they'd handle color selection and scheduling for the specific job, since reviewers point to that guidance as part of what they're paying for.
