Over eighty homeowners have left reviews, and the average has barely moved. At the time of our analysis, Dr Paint held over 80 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, backed by 100% recommended on Facebook. The company also earned a Chooz Score of 86%. The track record runs deeper than the star count. Dr Paint has been in business since 2008 and accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2017, carries a 2-year limited warranty, and is a registered Illinois business entity. That is the kind of steady, cross-platform consistency the Chooz Score's analysis is built to catch. "They are punctual, always on time, always show up and get the job done beautifully." - George Y., Google Review
Read the reviews and one compliment keeps surfacing. The pricing is fair. Homeowners describe estimates that came in lower than competitors, quotes that matched the final bill, and prices they call reasonable and competitive without anyone prompting them. Michael Wasielewski notes Dr Paint quoted him less than most companies wanted for a single room. Others reach for words like well priced, reasonable, and competitive across dozens of reviews, and nobody complains about surprise charges or upsells. For a trade where sticker shock is common, that consistency stands out. "Scheduling was easy, the price was right, and they did a beautiful job painting our two bedrooms." - Pauline M., Google Review
The owner doesn't just send a crew and disappear. Derek shows up on the job himself, and reviewers name him again and again, checking the work day after day. He answers questions, walks the property, and responds personally to nearly every review the company receives. That hands-on presence is what the Chooz Score's owner engagement indicators reward. The detail work backs it up. On one job during a very cold week, his crew painted a customer's unheated garage without a hitch, alongside water-damage and drywall repairs. The owner is present, the crew is his own, and the work gets checked before anyone leaves. "Derek was on-site checking on the work every day and his guys were just amazing... It was a very cold week but they were able to paint my non heated garage no problem." - Michael W., Google Review
