Member Comments: 
Ryan is such a great guy to work with. He's nice and down to earth, but completely professional and a perfectionist. What a rare find! It should be noted that all of the following work was estimated to take 5 days. Instead, it was done in 2, plus a couple of hours on the third day. How often does that happen!
Hardwood flooring installation, dining room and office (337 sq ft). Installation price included EVERYTHING except the actual wood. Ryan provided the labor and all materials, including glue, quarter rounds and T moldings. The baseboards were repainted as well. All furniture was removed and then replaced when the job was complete. This included a very heavy and eclectic round dining table that Ryan was extremely careful with.
Dining room; in addition to the flooring, the chandelier was moved about 5" and the resultant hole in the ceiling was patched. Crown molding was repaired and painted. Touch-up paint on the walls was done, which included Ryan custom blending the color to get a perfect match! I also had a large, heavy mirror that needed to be hung. Due to its size and weight, I was worried about my ability to hang it in a secure manner. Ryan took care of that as well.
Office; in addition to the flooring there were areas where previous drapery hardware had been installed. These areas did not have the faux painting that was on the walls. Ryan was able to blend this in to the surrounding treatment, despite not having the original paint.
Great Room; a ceiling fan was removed and a difficult chandelier was hung perfectly in its place.
Bedroom; my daughter's room was painted pink. Ryan helped me choose the perfect shade. Additionally, he suggested using a paint that was invisible during the day, but that would glow in the dark or be seen with a black light. He applied this over the pink with a splatter technique, so it looks like there are stars all over the place at night. He even went and purchased the black light for me and only requested reimbursement for his actual charges.
Niche; Ryan is skilled with Venetian plaster and repaired a multitude of nail holes.
Master bath; a can light was installed in the shower. Additionally, I had noticed some paint irregularities in there (from the previous homeowners). Ryan gladly offered to use his custom paint to blend the areas. He did this simply as a courtesy and to help me out!
General; occasional wall painting and touch up, including some drywall patches. All of this was done so perfectly, I can't see ANY transitions between his work and the existing walls.
I am so grateful to Ryan and the wonderful job that was done. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is considering any type of work on their home.

Member Comments: 
our initial proposal was prompt and itemized. start time was as stated and job was finished a day early. we were moved out of our kitchen and really appreciated that the job started on a Monday and finshed before the following week-end. Our cabinets were in bad shape from old paint with lots of heavy brush strokes and now they look like new. cabinets in downstairs bath were red oak and were primed and and painted white and also look great! Great attention to detail on priming, caulking and prep work. Ryan and one other person did the entire job and were easy to have in the house. the daily communication was excellent. their attention to clean-up was excellent. Ryan also installed our new cabinet hardware and adjusted some of the cabinet doors so they hung correctly again. We appreciated that they worked with us on cabinet finish and hardware placement and wanted to be sure we were happy with the result. Great pride in workmanship!

Ryan Petrich Painting and Remodeling renovated my home in Leander. It is completely transformed. He removed the popcorn treatment on my ceilings and textured and painted them. The walls had awkward seems, corners and window moldings. He made my walls and windows look brand new. He removed several disturbing features, like a window in an interior wall and a cabinet on the counter that separated the living space from the kitchen. He repaired the wall where the window was, and the ceiling that the cabinet was attached to. Then the walls were textured and painted and the old wooden kitchen cabinets were painted. Next, he had bamboo floors installed for me. My house is amazing!! It looks completely different. No one can believe the transformation.
Ryan has a wonderful artistic sense and had great ideas and suggestions for me about design, layout, and color. Without his creativity, my home would look completely different. He has a lot of initiative and strives to make his work the best he possibly can. He pays great attention to detail and hires workers with specialties to guarantee the best possible job. It was always a delight to have him and his crew in my home. And, his prices are reasonable!!!
I highly recommend Ryan Petrich Painting and Remodeling.

Member Comments: 
I hired Petrich Remodeling to refinish my hardwood floors and wood banister. Proir to Ryan's work, the hardwood floors had a ruined finish and extreme cupping throughout the floors. The floors were sanded, stained and 2 coates of protectant was applied. Ryan and his team were puncutal, professional and detailed. No surpise expenses, the timeframe Ryan communicted was spot on and the refinishing turned out beautiful! I look forward to working with Ryan on my next project.

Description Of Work: 
Repaint kitchen and entry walls and woodwork; faux finish kitchen cabinets and island; strip and restain bannister and newel posts on entry stairs; strip and repaint exterior doors; repair siding; caulk, weatherstrip, and repaint siding and trim on house; repair and repaint railings on extensive deck; repair and re-stain deck; stain new front door with leaded glass inserts.
Member Comments: 
I began with Ryan's redoing my entry and kitchen. After having creamy white painted cabinets and island since the house was built in 1991, I decided I wanted a Tuscan look, which meant painting the walls an adobe color, putting a brown glaze over the cabinets, and using a green over tan crackle finish on the island. When the initial result on the cabinets was darker than I had anticipated, Ryan took the stain off and redid it to my liking. When the green crackle turned out a St. Patrick's green (not what I wanted), Ryan figured out how to tone it down with a dark glaze so that it was what I had envisioned. My neighbors have commented that the 19-year-old cabinets look like new. Ryan is a master at taping off what he isn't working on so that paint doesn't end up where it shouldn't be, and at cleaning up when the job is done. Next I hired him to do the exterior of the house and the deck, which needed a lot of care and attention since some of the siding had deteriorated and the painters who had done the last job had painted -- but not caulked and weatherstripped. Again, Ryan did a great job, so I asked him to strip and stain the oak railing and newel posts on the entry staircase. Another great job. I'm planning to do a master bath remodel within the next year and will certainly ask Ryan to bid on it.

Member Comments: 
Ryan is a perfectionist who takes great pride in his work. He is a true craftsman. Every detail is important to him. He approached the job with great concern about doing a high quality technical job and as an artist with great concern about the beauty. He listened to my needs and concerns and responded every time. The work was difficult and the air conditioning could not be on. Ryan always had patience, a sense of humor, and worked tirelessly. He left the house in good order with new beautiful ceilings. I highly recommend Ryan and have hired him to paint the interior walls because I trust he will do the best job possible at a reasonable price.

Member Comments: 
We were preparing our 8yr old home to sell and Ryan made it look as good as new. He was very flexible at working around the other contractors projects. Has pays amazing attention to detail and takes pride in the high quality of his work. Although we used him primarily for painting, his skill in other areas (replacing trim, regrouting, etc.) was evident. We would definately use Ryan again! Felt very comfortble having him in our home and love the work that he did!!!
