The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, Clean Cut had over 350 Google reviews with a 4.7-star rating, and the pace hasn't slowed. Nearly twenty of those landed in the most recent three-month stretch, so new feedback shows up most weeks, not once a season. The Chooz Score's recent activity weighting confirms Clean Cut is actively serving customers right now, not coasting on old reviews. Behind the volume sits a Chooz Score of 84.6%, a 5.0 rating on Angi, and registration with the Illinois Secretary of State as IL Business Entity No. 06735282. More than a decade of work across Decatur and the Springfield area backs it up. "Every time I have used Clean Cut, I have been more than happy with their work." - Jan B., Google Review
One phrase keeps resurfacing across Clean Cut's reviews, and it isn't about a single job. It's about coming back. Customers hire the company once, then again, then hand over every project after that. Nick Braden mentions doing over five projects with them and watching the quality climb each time. Judy Hendricks lists years of work, from removing popcorn ceilings to installing crown molding. High marks on the Chooz Score's customer retention indicators back this up, with roughly one in five reviewers signaling a repeat visit or a referral. Read enough of these and the pattern sets in. People don't shop around after Clean Cut. They just call back. "From carpentry to painting, the crews are phenomenal. We call Clean cut for all of our home projects and know that they do quality work." - Stephanie T., Google Review
Manuel. Tyler. LaVerne. Read a run of Clean Cut reviews and the same crew members keep showing up by name, usually credited for a specific slice of the work. That kind of consistency comes from keeping painters and tradespeople on staff rather than rotating strangers through, and the reviews reflect it. Reviewers single out Manuel for drywall and ceiling repairs, Tyler Tate for walking projects before they start, and LaVerne Belk for fixing bubbling paint on an outdoor porch. Others name Selby and Carlos on a commercial job, or Eduardo and Alex on a deck. Each name is tied to a job that went right, which is exactly what you want to see before a crew shows up at your door. "We had drywall repaired and painted and our outdoor porch sanded and painted. The painter, LaVerne Belk was sent to fix bubbling and did not disappoint. He was great!" - Jeffrey M., Google Review
Clean Cut's painting reviews are consistently strong, but a few reviews on bigger construction and handyman jobs, like decks and porch builds, mention timelines stretching well past the original estimate. It's worth pinning down the schedule up front. Ask them directly: "What completion date are you committing to in writing, and what happens if the build runs long?" "They estimated the job to take 10 days. It took them 10 weeks to finish. The weather was great, so no excuses there." - Dave R., Google Review (no owner reply)
