Our Story


My journey in the building industry began in the mid-90s, where I worked as a summer helper for several builders. After completing college, I returned to my hometown of Franklin, Virginia, where I joined a local builder and gained hands-on experience in all aspects of home building and remodeling. My work included framing, roofing, siding, flooring, trim, and painting. Of all these trades, painting stood out as my true passion.

For a few years, I painted in the evenings and on weekends. Encouraged by my wife, I decided to turn my passion into a profession and founded Rickman Painting LLC in 2007. Although starting my own business came with its challenges, my commitment to excellence and a strong work ethic enabled me to overcome them. I took the time to hone my skills, focusing on delivering quality and precision in every project.

With over 20 years of experience in the painting industry, I have refined my techniques through persistence, trial and error, and continuous research. Today, Rickman Painting LLC offers a painting system that is both efficient and highly regarded by homeowners. We take pride in our work and are dedicated to providing a level of quality that is second to none. At Rickman Painting LLC, our goal is to exceed your expectations and transform your space with a professional touch.
