Meet RJF Painting and Restoration
Nestled in Hockessin, Delaware, just thirty minutes outside of Philadelphia, RJF Painting and Restoration has quietly built a reputation for craftsmanship, reliability, and customer dedication. Led by founder Robert Felix, a Pennsylvania native, this family-run business specializes in residential painting, both interior and exterior, as well as power washing, porch restoration, and small contracting jobs. With a foundation of over 30 years in construction and tree trimming, Felix brings extensive experience and a personal touch to each project.

A Commitment to Quality and Customer Satisfaction
What sets RJF Painting and Restoration apart from other companies? For Felix, it’s a dedication to quality over quantity and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. “I’d rather do quality work than make a large profit on some projects.” Felix explains. “I’m semi-retired and started this to help people improve their homes.” Felix is committed to building trust, which has resulted in strong relationships with his clients. Over 90 percent of his customers are repeat clients, and all his business now comes from word of mouth. Felix’s commitment goes beyond completing jobs; he guarantees his work for three years, often returning to address any issues free of charge if it’s something he’s previously worked on.

A Family-Owned Business
Felix’s company is more than just a business—it’s a family endeavor. His son works with him on various projects, and occasionally, his daughter joins the team. “Keeping it a family business is important to me. I want this to be something we pass down, a business that holds its reputation and keeps quality as its core,” he shares.
Serving Delaware and Beyond
RJF Painting and Restoration serves clients throughout Delaware, southeastern Pennsylvania, and southern New Jersey. From home exteriors to power-washed porches, Felix’s projects cover a wide range of services. His specialty lies in restoring spaces to their full potential, with a meticulous attention to detail. “I won’t leave a job unless it’s exactly how I’d want my own house to look,” he states.
Customer-First Approach
Felix’s approach is more than a business strategy—it’s a lifestyle. He provides military, family, and referral discounts as a way to give back to the community. He’s known to fix minor issues for free if it’s within his guarantee, a gesture his customers appreciate. “I make new friends and do great work,” he says. “If a customer’s outdoor grill accidentally damages the siding, for example, I’ll come back and fix it for free if it’s under my guarantee.”
Looking Ahead
With a Facebook page as their main online presence, RJF Painting and Restoration continues to focus on word-of-mouth referrals. Felix’s love for Delaware’s peacefulness and community spirit keeps him grounded. When not working, he enjoys time by the Delaware beaches and relaxing at his beach house. For RJF Painting and Restoration, the goal is simple: maintain high-quality service, build strong community connections, and ensure every job is done with care.
In a world where craftsmanship and customer dedication are increasingly rare, RJF Painting and Restoration is a testament to what small businesses can achieve. The family’s hands-on approach and Felix’s guarantee-backed work have created a trusted name in Delaware, providing homeowners with results they can count on, every time.
