Local painters do their thing on TV

SPARTA — RB Painting, owned and operated by Rich and Chris Bischoff, will be appearing on the WNBC show “Open House NYC.” The show, which appears weekly on Sunday mornings at 8:30 a.m., features real estate for sale in the New York City area and has a segment called Home Rescue, hosted by George Oliphant. Andrew Scerbo, producer of the segment, contacted RB Painting and asked them to do a Home Rescue segment. Homeowner Mary Ellen Folsom of Hampton was anxious to have the wallpaper removed in her foyer. The Bischoffs, along with employee Mike Geary, removed the paper, then prepped and primed the walls. The two Bischoffs then painted the walls and faux-finished the foyer and did some other surprises. Their segment will be shown Sunday, June 21 at 8:30 a.m. RB Painting can be reached at 973-729-6659.
