Owner Samuel Muhlenkamp leads Rock Creek Renovation and Painting from the company's Waynesville shop. When homeowners reach out by phone or through the website contact form, Patrick handles the initial outreach and schedules an on-site estimate. He listens to project goals, walks the home with the customer, and follows up with a written quote. Color consultant Stephanie steps in for paint selection assistance during the consultation phase, and project manager Jake or Michael coordinates scheduling once the contract is signed.
The team handles interior and exterior house painting, with deep expertise in kitchen and bathroom cabinet refinishing. Custom carpentry forms the second pillar of the business, including crown molding installation, accent walls, built-in shelving, and trim replacement. Pat, Jake, Michael, Chaz, AJ, Jacob, Hunter, and Ed make up the recurring named crew.
The company is fully insured, BBB Accredited, and operates with around 18 W-2 employees. Rock Creek serves Centerville, Springboro, Mason, Lebanon, Franklin, Beavercreek, Indian Hill, West Chester, Xenia, Wilmington, and Dayton.
