Richard T. Winkler Painting and Decorating of Alexandria, Virginia, is well known among local homeowners, especially owners of historic homes, for their work in interior and exterior finish restoration and painting of many fine homes. In local older Washington DC area homes, plastering can be a big factor.Plaster was the material of choice, not today's drywall. A plasterer was a master craftsman, and still is today. Plaster repair is very specialized work. Winkler also specializes in wallpaper hanging. Restoration of house trim can involve stripping lots of layers of old paint. Of course, Rich's crews are also skilled at drywall repair.

Cristina and her team did an amazing job! We recently purchased a home built in the 1920's that was in need of some TLC. The Winkler team meticulously cleaned, scrapped, sanded and painted the exterior of the house. The team was polite, professional and extremely responsive. Cristina was very attentive any time we had a question and was a pleasure to work with. We will use them again and I would highly recommend Winkler Painting.

Have use them for big projects and small projects over the years. Most recently, we had a water leak damage our plaster ceiling. They fixed it in a day, ripping out the damaged plaster, installing drywall, patching it up and painting. You can't even tell there was an issue there now. Very quick and very clean.

We just used Rich Winkler Painting to do some minor carpentry/wood rot repairs and paint the exterior of our town home in Old Town Alexandria. The team did a fantastic job at a reasonable price - they were incredibly thorough and detail-oriented. Normally, we find imperfections after contractors are finished, but we have yet to find one with this team. Our house looks beautiful and we've received numerous compliments! We highly recommend them!

The Richard Winkler company provides exquisite home painting. Their workmanship is outstanding. They take excellent care of our home, covering our floors completely to protect them, and doing careful and detailed prep work to ensure a smooth finish. My walls look like velvet; the trim has the perfect glow. We've been using them on our townhouse for two decades, and they have worked on helping us remodel an apartment as well, involving extensive patching and drywall repairs before painting. We trust them immensely. They are the best around!

I would highly recommend Winkler. Every part of the job was professionally handled--from the estimate to the final walkthrough. They tout their attention to detail with prep work, and they really deliver on that promise--very important on a mid-1800s home. Cristina (the owner) and Edwin (the foreman) were communicative and on time, the project was on budget, and the finished product is top notch.
We had multiple bids for the work, and while you will pay a bit of a premium over some other companies (to be fair they also were not the high bid), the quality of work and materials used makes Winkler a great value. I will be using Winkler in the future.

We have had Richard Winkler Painting complete two projects on our home. The first project was to paint the exterior of our brick home (for the first time). Richard and his team did a phenomenal job! They took care to explain the process they would utilize and used the best quality products, including a special primer for the brick. And they are true professionals - paying careful detail from start to clean-up.
Our home was completely transformed - received compliments from every neighbor - and we could not be happier! We also asked them to paint the interior of our entryway and stairwell - a tricky job because of our stairs - and again they were great. We cannot recommend them enough! And love supporting a local Alexandria business!

I had Richard and his crew paint my house this summer, and they did a wonderful job. My 90-year-old house is all wood, and they spent nine days just sanding and prepping the house before they started the actual painting. Their carpenter fixed a few rotted areas efficiently and inexpensively. The painters worked tirelessly in the heat and were always careful and polite. Rich was very responsive to my concerns. All my neighbors said my house looks beautiful, and I agree!

We recently had Rich Winkler Painting do considerable interior painting for us. The prep work included not just the usual patching and sanding but also repairing a good size hole in our ceiling and damage done by a water leak. The work was exceptional; we were very pleased with the results. The painting team was great--every day they came when they said they would, and they were always extremely courteous. At the end of the project they did a beautiful job of cleaning up. we are happy to recommend Rich Winkler Painting.

We have used Rich Winkler Painting for several painting jobs over many years, and find their work to be exceptional. They have painted both the exterior and interior of our townhouse in Alexandria. Their painters are very meticulous, do careful preparation and the work is always expertly completed. The crews are pleasant to work with, careful, and clean up well at the end of each day. They are happy to make minor changes or corrections to our satisfaction, though this is rarely needed. We highly recommended Rich Winkler Painting.

We hired Rich and his company to do a lot of exterior painting on our house. A lot of the old paint was peeling, especially around moldings just below the roof. My concern was whether they would properly remove the old paint and prepare the surface properly, because I did not want to have issues develop a year later.
