Homeowners needing both drywall and painting often face the hassle of hiring two separate contractors, coordinating schedules, and hoping both deliver consistent results. Owner Ryan Hill founded Riteway Drywall & Painting in 2015 to eliminate that problem, building a family-owned operation in Rochester, Michigan, that handles both trades under one roof. As one reviewer put it, "Alot of times you have trade that can only paint or drywall, not both. He patched and painted beautifully where there are no flaws."
Co-owner Stephanie Hill manages color consultation and design coordination while Ryan leads crews on-site across Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne Counties. The fully insured team specializes in interior and exterior painting, drywall installation and repair, popcorn ceiling removal, cabinet refinishing, and deck staining. They also serve commercial clients including retail, multi-family, medical, and municipal properties throughout Metro Detroit. Riteway uses a proprietary mudding and sanding technique that the company says produces 99% less dust than traditional methods.
