A second-generation family business serving Southeastern Michigan with pride
R & D Drywall and Painting is a family-owned company with deep roots in the Southeastern Michigan community. Founded in 1984 by Ron Larkins, a master plasterer who began his apprenticeship at a young age, the business was built on hard work, precision, and pride in the craft. Today, the company continues under the next generation, with Shawn Larkins leading operations and carrying forward the same commitment to quality and integrity.
Over the years, what started as a plaster-focused business has grown into a full-service operation offering drywall, painting, carpentry, and more. While the services have expanded, the foundation remains the same, treat every home like it is your own and deliver results that last.
Skilled professionals matched to every phase of your project
Our team is built with purpose. Every project is handled by experienced professionals who specialize in their trade. We do not cut corners or mix roles. A drywall specialist handles drywall, a painter handles painting, and each phase of the job is completed by someone qualified to do it right.
Remodeling is one of our specialties, and we understand the importance of both function and finish. Whether you are updating a single room or transforming your entire home, we bring the skill and attention to detail needed to deliver a clean, polished result.

More Than a Contractor. Part of the Community.
Supporting local families, events, and the people we serve
R & D Drywall and Painting is proud to be part of the Waterford community. Our work goes beyond homes and job sites. We actively support local events and initiatives that bring people together and strengthen the area we serve.
From sponsoring Movies in the Park to helping bring Santa to local events, supporting fireworks shows, and contributing to family activities like pony rides, we believe in giving back to the community that has supported us for decades.
At the same time, we have built our business around making projects easier for our customers. We can take your job from start to finish, coordinating multiple services and helping manage scheduling so you do not have to. For anything outside our scope, we provide access to a trusted network of preferred contractors, all without the added cost of builder markups.
