Yes — working safely around active barns is the core of the business. We schedule around turnout and feed, work the stalls that are empty and move as horses move, avoid spraying or running compressors in occupied aisles, use low-odour coatings, and pick up every tool, cord and strip of tape before horses come back in. You do not need to empty the barn.

Yes. RJL Painting carries general liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance — including naming a commercial client as additional insured — before work begins. Ask for it at the estimate stage and we will send it in writing rather than saying so verbally.

A single-storey exterior in Marion County typically runs $3,500 to $9,000, and a two-storey $7,000 to $16,000. Interiors run roughly $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot of floor area, or about $550 to $950 per room for walls, ceiling and trim. The condition of the existing coating moves the number far more than square footage does.

Seven to ten years on stucco or concrete block with proper preparation, and five to seven years on wood siding. South and west elevations take the worst ultraviolet load and will show wear a full cycle before north and east elevations, which is why it is reasonable to refresh a single elevation rather than repainting the whole house.

No. Estimates are free and written. We come to the property, look at every surface in the scope, and give you a line-item quote that names the preparation, the primer, the product and the number of coats — not a single lump sum. On farms we walk the whole property so you can phase the work if you want to.

Most residential jobs start within one to three weeks of accepting the estimate. Farm work is scheduled around your barn, show or foaling calendar and can be booked further out. Rental turnovers and closing-date work are quoted to a fixed completion date — tell us the date and we will build the schedule backwards from it.

Pressure washing is high-pressure water alone and is appropriate for concrete and pavers. Soft washing is low pressure plus a cleaning solution, and it is what roofs, stucco, painted wood, screen enclosures and vinyl need. High pressure strips granules off asphalt shingles, opens stucco and raises wood grain — damage that is expensive to undo.
