Four review platforms. Not one below five stars. When we last reviewed this company, Allegiant held a perfect 5.0 across more than 175 Google reviews, a 4.97 rating across nearly 40 BBB reviews, and 100% recommended on Facebook. The Chooz Score's cross-platform analysis shows the same story wherever you look, ratings that hold steady across every site that carries them. That kind of consistency is hard to manufacture, and it's a big part of why the company earned a Chooz Score of 91.8%, one of the highest we've measured. "The Allegiant team was terrific every step of the way! We moved from California to a newly built home in Wonder Lake , IL. The Allegiant team worked with us long distance to provide a whole house estimate. They were able to complete everything before we moved in." - Carol S., Google Review
What backs up the reviews is a stack of credentials most painters can't claim. Allegiant is a member of the Painting Contractors Association and earned the PCA's 2024 Humanitarian Award, along with Best of Fox recognition in 2024 and 2025. The company has been Accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2023 and is registered with the Illinois Secretary of State as IL Business Entity No. 07400977. The Chooz Score's business authority component confirmed that the registration and those affiliations are all in order. Reviewers feel the professionalism too, from office manager Stacy fielding the first call to the painters handling prep and clean-up. "I cant stress enough the professionalism of the entire Allegiant Painting crew, office staff and painters. I appreciated their attention to detail from prep work, painting to clean-up. From start to finish, I was very impressed." - Marcia B., BBB Review
When a beloved Fox Lake landmark needed saving, Allegiant got the call. The town's giant pirate statue, known locally as Ole Peg Leg, got a full restoration, with office manager Stacy taking an interest, project manager Gloria running the job, and co-owner Taylor treating the statue like their own. The same care shows up on bigger jobs. Allegiant is the painter of choice for the Whispering Oaks Senior Community, where close to 160 owners have to be kept happy, and the company rounds out its footprint with a long list of local charitable partnerships. This is a business rooted in the place it serves. "Gloria (our Project Manager) and Taylor (Co-Owner), were totally into this and treated our Pirate like he was their own. Excellent care in patching and painting, suggesting changes, getting our input, etc. Both their work and their communication was top notch!" - Mike J., Google Review

Get StartedFREE SERVICEOne hundred and fourteen Google reviews. Not one sits below five stars. The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, Campos held a flat 5.0-star rating across over 100 Google reviews, and the pace hasn't slowed, with fresh five-star write-ups landing month after month rather than tapering off. What holds that number up is consistency. The owner replies to roughly nine of every ten reviews that come in, and the Chooz Score's cross-platform analysis found the same ratings echoing across the review sites where Campos appears rather than one strong platform propping up the rest. All of it adds up to a Chooz Score of 88.0%, carried by review quality, steady recent activity, and a verified business record. "The best of the best! Campos painting is the best professional painting company we've used." - Erica I., Google Review
Hire Campos and you don't get a rotating cast of subcontractors. You get the same faces. Pedro Campos runs the crew on site, his wife Lily handles scheduling and quoting, Matt walks homeowners through estimates, and Alex works alongside the rest. Those names turn up again and again across the reviews, which is exactly what the Chooz Score's in-house crews component looks for, the same people showing up job after job instead of a new subcontractor each time. That continuity shows in the work itself. On cedar-sided homes, which are common around the Fox Valley and unforgiving if rushed, the crew tends to slow down, repairing rotted boards and trim before a drop of paint goes on. "We recently had Pedro and his team paint our house and stain our deck, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our home has cedar siding, and they took the time to do some much-needed wood repair before beginning the painting process." - Robby V., Google Review
Longevity in a small market is its own kind of endorsement. Registered in Illinois since 2013 and accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2024, Campos has grown into one of those companies neighbors simply name when a friend asks who to call. Nextdoor voted the company a Neighborhood Favorite in both 2022 and 2023, and the reviews are thick with word-of-mouth. People hired Campos because they spotted the crew working a house down the block, or because a family member passed along the name. Deb Flores found them the low-tech way, after a string of no-shows from other painters. "We drove by Pedro and his crew working on another house down the street. He came right over and we had a quote the next day." - Deb F., Google Review
Campos advertises a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and most reviews describe the crew coming back to make small things right. One unresolved Yelp review runs the other way, describing paint that started peeling with calls that went unreturned, and it drew no public reply. It isn't the pattern here, but it's a fair reason to get the guarantee pinned down before work starts. Ask them directly: "What exactly does your satisfaction guarantee cover, how long does it last, and how do I reach you if I spot a problem later?" "Paint has begun peeling off my home. They have refused to stand by their warranty. Will not return calls." - Mike V., Yelp Review (no owner reply)

What sets Rhino Shield apart from a standard paint job is the one thing customers keep circling back to. It isn’t paint. It’s a ceramic coating system carrying a 25 year transferable warranty, and for homeowner after homeowner, that warranty is the reason they signed. People call it a "one and done" fix, the last time they’ll think about their exterior for decades, and because the coverage transfers, it follows the house to the next owner.
The coating earns that promise on tough surfaces, not just clean ones. One homeowner's Dry-Vit stucco was cracking all over, with open holes and birds nesting in the gaps, and Rhino Shield sealed the house tight against the weather and the wildlife alike. Read through the reviews and you'll find the same relief again and again, homeowners glad they won't be back on a ladder for years.
"Rhino Shield completely transformed our “stucco” house! The Dry-Vit (aka stucco) was cracking ALL OVER with multiple holes and birds building nests in the cracks. Our home is beautiful and sealed to the weather (and critters) now. The entire Rhino Shield team was great to work with, and the 25 year warranty means I don’t have to think about this again for a LONG time." - Erin G., Google Review
Some of these reviews describe a coating that went on twenty years ago and still looks new, which tells you the reputation here isn’t a recent thing. When we last reviewed the company, Rhino Shield of Chicagoland carried over 100 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, plus more than a dozen five-star reviews on the Better Business Bureau, where the company is accredited.
The Chooz Score’s cross-platform analysis flags that kind of consistency across the sites where a company shows up, and new reviews were still landing in the months before our analysis rather than tapering off. It’s a registered Illinois business, Entity No. 03482677, that has been in business since 2006, close to two decades serving Cook, DuPage, and the surrounding counties. All told, the company earned a Chooz Score of 88%.
"Had this done 20yrs ago and still looks like new! Would recommend Rhino Shield to anyone as it really works." - Nicholas G., Google Review
One company in Illinois is authorized to apply Rhino Shield. This is it. As the state's exclusive factory-authorized dealer, Rhino Shield of Chicagoland runs crews trained in the manufacturer's installation process, and the company points to a Gold Quality Award earned every year for more than fifteen years. The Chooz Score's business authority review confirmed the company's registration and coverage were in order, which matters when you're trusting a crew with a coating meant to last decades.
The training shows in the prep, which is where a coating like this succeeds or fails. On one home the crew worked masking around long windows, the Chicago corners, and a wrap-around porch, replacing soggy cedar as they went before any coating touched the walls. That's not a spray-and-go outfit. That's a process.
"Our paint team did a stellar job of masking, replacing soggy cedar, and caulking! There was a lot of masking on our house, with the long windows, Chicago corners, and the wrap-around porch!" - I Pery, Google Review
Ryan's name shows up in nearly every review, and not as a distant figurehead. He walks the property, works up the quote, then shows up in work clothes to paint alongside his crew. That combination is rare. Reviewers keep pointing out that the person who priced the job is the same person on the ladder finishing it, which takes a lot of the hand-off risk out of hiring a painter. It shows up on the ambitious jobs too. When one homeowner wanted to try a bold color drench, coating walls, ceilings, trim, and even the light switch covers in a single shade, it was Ryan's hands-on guidance that gave them the confidence to go for it. "We decided to go bold with a full "color drench"—walls, ceilings, trim, window ledges, even the light switch covers all in the same color—and Ryan’s knowledge and advice gave us the confidence to go for it." - Marie S., Google Review
Read through the reviews and the same names keep resurfacing, project after project. This isn't a company people hire once. Paul V. has had nearly every room inside and out painted over the years. Rob H. had almost his whole interior done in 2022, then called back for the last room. Courtney F. describes two extensive projects, and Greg W. is already on his third go-round. The Chooz Score’s customer retention indicators land high for exactly this reason, with many of the reviews we looked at describing repeat work rather than a one-time job. "My go-to" and "we use no one else" turn up again and again, in different words but the same spirit. "I have used Always Perfect Painters for the last twenty years. Fantastic people and exceptional work. They are Always Perfect. I would highly recommend them." - John O., Google Review
The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, Always Perfect Painters held a spotless record, over 40 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, 5.0 stars on Yelp, and 100% recommended on Facebook. Not a single sub-five-star review in the bunch. The Chooz Score’s cross-platform analysis picked up that same consistency across every site we checked, which is hard to fake and harder to sustain over decades. Founded in 1998, the company has spent more than 25 years building that record in and around St. Charles, and it earned a Chooz Score of 85%. "The name fits them well. We have used them several times and it is exactly "Always Perfect!!!" Ryan and his team are so incredible, their attention to detail and super fast.... Amazing!!!!" - Mike B., Google Review
