At RDJ Construction & Painting, we’re more than just a remodeling company—we’re a family-owned team of craftsmen passionate about transforming your home with integrity and skill. Founded by Raleigh Johnson, a master painter turned general contractor with nearly 30 years of hands-on experience, RDJ has grown from a specialized painting service to a full-scale remodeling provider, trusted for its in-house expertise and transparent approach. From kitchens and bathrooms to custom remodels, we’re here to make your dream spaces a reality, one project at a time.
From swinging hammers as a teenager to leading Olympia's most trusted remodeling team, Raleigh's journey is built on passion and precision. Armed with both master-level construction skills and an MBA in Project Management from WSU, Raleigh brings a rare blend of practical expertise and professional management to every RDJ project.
As a father of five and proud Olympia native, he understands the importance of creating spaces where families can thrive. Whether he's competing in professional cornhole tournaments, enjoying a round of golf, or transforming homes across the South Sound, Raleigh brings the same level of dedication and attention to detail to everything he does.
"At the heart of every project is my commitment to excellence and genuine relationships. I take pride in not just improving homes, but in strengthening the community I've loved my whole life." - Raleigh Johnson
Raleigh personally oversees every project, ensuring that our clients receive consistent, top-quality craftsmanship. We take pride in working directly with you—no middlemen, just straightforward communication from start to finish.
Our team handles nearly every aspect of your project in-house. Whether it’s drywall, flooring, painting, or custom cabinetry, we believe in the power of consistency and accountability. When specialized work is needed, such as plumbing or electrical, we collaborate with trusted experts to meet our high standards.
We believe in fair pricing and honesty. With RDJ, you’re never charged a markup on materials, and you have the flexibility to purchase them directly or through us. Our focus is on giving you the highest quality work at a price you can trust.
RDJ isn’t just a business—it’s a proud member of the Olympia, WA community. We’re grateful to serve families and businesses across South Sound, and we regularly give back through community projects and pro bono work.

Yes! Unlike many contractors, our dedicated team handles almost everything in-house—from demolition to finishing touches. We only subcontract specialized plumbing and electrical work to ensure everything meets code. This means better quality control, clearer
We believe in complete transparency with our pricing. We don't mark up materials—you can either purchase them directly or we can purchase them on your behalf at cost. This unique approach gives you full control over your project's budget and ensures you know exactly what you're paying for.
We primarily serve Olympia, Tumwater, and Lacey, but we also work throughout the South Sound region from Chehalis to Everett, including the Kitsap Peninsula. For the right project, we're happy to discuss locations throughout the greater Puget Sound area.
Starting with a realistic budget is crucial. During our initial consultation, we'll discuss your vision, provide honest feedback about costs, and help you understand what's possible within your budget. Our no-markup policy on materials and transparent pricing helps prevent surprise expenses.
Every project is unique, but having our own in-house team allows us to maintain reliable schedules. During our consultation, we'll provide a detailed timeline based on your specific project scope. Our owner's MBA in Project Management ensures efficient scheduling and clear communication throughout the process.
We genuinely mean it when we say "no job is too small." Whether it's a simple drywall repair or a complete kitchen renovation, every project receives our full attention and master-level craftsmanship. We're happy to help with projects of any size.
Simply reach out through our contact form or give us a call. We'll schedule an initial consultation to discuss your vision, provide guidance on what's possible, and help you understand the process. We believe in building relationships, not just renovating spaces, so we'll make sure all your questions are answered before any work begins.
Tell us about your vision, and let's create something exceptional together. No project is too small. Every vision deserves master-level craftsmanship.
