Who We Are
Rivas Santana is a painting and renovation business in Matawan, NJ, led by owner Rudimila Sant'Ana. We take on interior and exterior painting, interior repairs and renovations, and interior demolition for homes and businesses in and around Matawan.
Every job starts with a free visit, and the price comes from what's seen on site, not from a guess over the phone. When a room needs repairs and paint, both can go in the same estimate.

FAQ
Who will I be dealing with?
Rudimila, the owner. She does the estimate, is your contact for scheduling, and is the person to reach while the work is underway.
Do you take on larger projects?
Larger projects are looked at case by case. During the visit, Rudimila reviews the scope and the schedule, and the estimate lays out the timeline before you decide.
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. One room, one door, or a few wall repairs are all worth a call.
What if I notice something during the final walkthrough?
Point it out. Touch ups are done before the job is closed.
Do you work on rentals or homes getting ready to sell?
Yes. We can paint and repair rentals between tenants and homes getting ready to list.
