Best Painters Near Galena, IL - Chooz Score Ranked

When we ran our analysis, Neff Paints had earned a Chooz Score of 85%. The company is an owner-led painting business based in Warren and serving northwest Illinois along with nearby parts of Wisconsin and Iowa, registered in Illinois under IL Business Entity No. 15413018 and Accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2025. Owner Skylar Neff runs the projects with named in-house crew members rather than subcontractors. Across its review profiles, the company held over 90 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating and 100% recommended on Facebook across 9 reviews. Nearly all of that volume sits on Google rather than spread across several platforms. A 5.0 rating maintained across more than 90 reviews, together with unanimous recommendation on the smaller Facebook profile, is a stronger and more consistent result than most companies show at this review count. The reviews we analyzed show a consistent set of patterns. Individual crew members including Cale, Masyn, and Piercen are named across the reviews we read, which is consistent with the named in-house crews the company describes rather than rotating subcontractors. The work spans interior and exterior painting along with deck and log-siding staining, cabinet finishing, drywall repair, and power washing, and thorough surface preparation is something reviewers single out repeatedly, including on older rural properties and century-old farmhouse wood. Fair pricing is the theme that recurs most often, and our analysis surfaced at least two dozen reviews describing it, alongside frequent mentions of clear daily communication and careful cleanup. Repeat and future-booking intent is common, and we found at least a dozen reviewers describing second projects or plans to hire again, several of them passing referrals to neighbors. Owner replies appear on a minority of the reviews we analyzed and are typically brief. None of the reviews we analyzed fell below five stars, so there were no written complaints to evaluate. "Cale noticed our 6 year old's Toy Story doll up on our roof that had been stuck there for at least a year...he climbed up there and got it for him - it was such a lovely, kind gesture." - Kate H., Google Review
