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 SERVICEPeople don't hire Jung once and move on. They come back. Read down the reviews and you'll spot the same customers on their second, third, even their tenth project, calling the crew back every couple of years for touch-ups or the next room. That kind of return rate is what the Chooz Score's customer retention indicators reward, and Jung sits comfortably in the top band for it.
The names behind those return visits matter. Owner Bob Jung tends to meet homeowners himself, and repeat clients ask for the same leads by name, Beto and Jose on the crews, Todd managing the project, Kaitlyn helping with color. Joel Weinberger has leaned on the company for years, from full house repaints to the small touch-ups most painters never circle back for.
"We have trusted Jung Painters for many years from full house painting to touch-ups every couple years." - Joel W., Google Review
The owner still answers his reviews by name, and there are a lot of them to get through. The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, Jung carried a flat 5.0-star rating across over 500 Google reviews, with a reply on roughly nineteen of every twenty. In two full years of reviews, not a single month went by without one.
The recognition tracks with the reviews. Jung has been named the Naperville Area Chamber's Small Business of the Year, earned repeat Best Pick honors, and been featured locally for two decades of serving Naperville since 2004, backed by a registered Illinois business record. Altogether it earned Jung Family Painting a Chooz Score of 91.1%, among the strongest we see.
"I'm typically a pretty tough grader when it comes to work done. Must say - Jung Family Painting exceeded my expectations." - Mark W., Google Review
Most painters won't put a redo promise in writing. Jung does. The company guarantees its work and will come back to redo any issue within the first 90 days, which turns the usual after-the-job worry into something closer to a checklist. In practice the crews try to make that promise moot, doing a walkthrough at the end and returning once the paint or stain has cured to catch anything that needs a touch-up.
Eddie Curley saw it firsthand on a large multi-level deck that ran the length of his home, a two-day oil-stain job complicated by more than 250 metal spindles to work around. Not a drop landed where it shouldn't have, and the team still came back after everything dried to look for touch-ups.
"There was not a drop of stain on any of the spindles and the railings and deck surface were flawless. After the project was completed and dried, they returned to see if there were any areas requiring touch up." - Eddie C., Google Review
Jung's reviews lean heavily toward value for the money, but the company isn't the budget option, and a couple of price shoppers have said so directly. One homeowner who collected four bids found Jung came in more than 25% above the rest, and that review went unanswered. The premium usually reflects the crew size, the written guarantee, and a five-star track record built over hundreds of reviews, but it's worth understanding before you sign. Ask them directly: "Can you walk me through what's included in the quote, and what accounts for the price compared to a lower bid?"
"I received 4 quotes for my painting project, and jung family painting was by far the highest. And not by a small amount, they were over 25% higher." - John P., 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
Nicole leading on site. Tina and Nancy prepping. Jose spraying doors back at the studio. Caden, Em, and Eileen rounding out the crew. Read a handful of Tupelo reviews and you stop seeing a faceless "team" and start recognizing the same women by name, project after project.
This is an all-women, in-house crew, not a rotating cast of subcontractors, and customers notice. They list the crew out by first name, thank each of them, and ask for the same faces when they book the next job. The Chooz Score's in-house crews component reflects that consistency, since the identical names surface across review after review instead of changing week to week.
"Michele was great to work with and her crew (shout out to Nicole, Tina, Nancy, Jose & Em) were very friendly and did a fantastic job." - Korina B., Google Review
Twenty-five-year-old oak cabinets come out looking brand new. That's the outcome reviewers describe over and over, and the before-and-after photos attached to many of their reviews back it up. One homeowner who was sure her heavy oak grain would still show watched two coats of primer and two coats of paint erase it almost entirely.
What sets the finish apart is that it lasts. When a customer came to Tupelo after another company's paint chipped and peeled within a few months, the redo held the way the first job never did, and reviewers keep using words like furniture-grade to describe the result. The Chooz Score's review authenticity indicators are strong for this reason, with customers naming exact colors, real timelines, and the specific rooms that got refinished.
"I had oak cabinets and was very skeptical that they would look good when they got done. When they finish painting two coats primer two coats paint I honestly can hardly see a grain in the doors." - Christine C., Google Review
The numbers are unusually clean. The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, Tupelo Lane Designs held over 110 Google reviews with a perfect 5.0-star rating, not a single one below five stars, plus 98% recommended on Facebook across nearly 30 reviews. The company earned a Chooz Score of 87.9%.
Behind those numbers is a women-owned cabinet-refinishing studio in Naperville serving Chicago's western suburbs, on record as an Illinois business incorporated in 2018 (Business Entity No. 71974537), which puts Tupelo at over 7 years in the trade. That longevity shows up off the review sites too, from a Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave badge to Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce membership and local magazine recognition.
"I loved that it is a women owned business! The crew was very friendly. I would highly recommend them." - Liz S., Google Review
What separates Red Sky from a lot of painters is what happens after the crew packs up. Completed work comes with a two-year written warranty, and exterior metal jobs are guaranteed against rust for the same two years. That's a real program, not a handshake.
The company carries full liability insurance up to $2 million and provides certificates on request, and it holds EPA Lead-Safe certification for work on older homes. It operates as a registered Illinois business, entity No. 12030231. The paperwork is there and current.
"Dominick at Red Sky was the most reasonable by far. They did quality work and guaranteed against rust for two years." - Paul S., Google Review
If you're the type who reads every review before hiring anyone, Red Sky gives you plenty to go on. The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, the company held a 4.9-star rating across over 60 Google reviews, 4.8 stars on Yelp from more than 100 reviews, and 4.8 stars on Angi from more than 200 reviews.
The Chooz Score's cross-platform analysis looks for exactly this, the same high rating holding up whether customers found the company on Google, Yelp, or Angi. Add an overall Chooz Score of 87.1% and a service map that runs from Park Ridge through Evanston, Wilmette, and Winnetka, and the picture stays consistent.
"When looking to hire a painter, it can be hard to find someone that you trust, is highly skilled, has flexibility in their schedule, and is a good value. We were lucky enough to find Red Sky Painting." - Kristen P., Google Review
Some of these customers go back years. One reviewer has had Dominik paint four separate projects, from metal stairs to interiors to exteriors. Another has used the crew since 2022 across two different houses. A third just wrapped their third project.
Taken together, the repeat mentions form a clear pattern. People don't try Red Sky once, they hand them the next job, and the one after that. The Chooz Score's customer retention indicators land in the top band, with repeat business showing up in about a fifth of the reviews we analyzed, a strong sign the work holds up over time.
"Dominic and the crew have been painting our home since 2022 - 2 houses now and multiple jobs! They have a lot of experience, attention to detail, and are very efficient." - Katelyn M., Google Review
Nearly all of Red Sky's reviews are glowing, but one customer felt an exterior job got squeezed into poor conditions, and paint from an overhead metal roof dripped onto the decking and railings below when it rained. The owner replied and offered to inspect and make it right, though the customer's concern about the stained railings was not confirmed as resolved. It is a fair thing to raise up front. Ask them directly: "If rain or cold is in the forecast, how do you decide whether to paint, and what is the plan if weather affects the finish?"
"When it rained, white paint dripped onto the composite decking and wooden railings. I feel like they rushed my job and tried to fit it in in bad weather." - Chris D., Google Review
