About Rice Painting

Rice Painting is a non-union company that was founded in 1973 by Jerry Rice and Bob Schultz, was purchased and operated by Andy Rice from 2016 until 2021 and was purchased by Karen Carey and Jason Wagner in 2021.  The original target market was apartment painting.  Due to steady growth over the years, we have completely moved away from apartment painting into residential and commercial painting as well as paperhanging of all types.  We presently employ approximately 30 painters and paperhangers.

The goals for the future of the company are steady growth and maintaining a high level of quality and customer service. For nearly 50 years the company has been a place where employees feel at “home”; many employees have been with the company for 20+ years.
 
Karen Carey has been with the company since 1987.  She started as a part time employee while attending college.  She began full time employment in 1990 handling all administrative duties ranging from accounting, benefits administration, clerical and many other day-to-day tasks.  Outside of work, Karen enjoys spending time with her husband and 4 kids, travelling, and is a huge Blues hockey fan.
 
Jason Wagner has been with the company since 2013.  He began as a painter in the field coming from a background of painting at other companies including his own.  He became our scheduler in 2015 and has since become an estimator.  Outside of work, Jason enjoys spending time with his wife and 2 kids.
 
Mark Tallon was hired as an estimator for our company in 2016.  Prior to joining our Rice Painting family, he was the owner of a small painting company.  Outside of work, Mark enjoys spending time with his wife and 2 kids, travelling and woodworking.

Scott Hill joined the Rice Painting family in May of 2021 as an estimator. Scott started painting with his dad at the age of 14 and continued painting during summers while attending college at Midwestern State University in Witchita Falls, Texas. After college, he helped run the family painting business with his father in Indiana. Scott is a devoted family man who enjoys life with his 4 sons, riding the tandem bike with his wife, and officiating hockey games.
