Over 150 reviews on Google. More than 40 on Angi. The rating barely moves between them. The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, Premier Painting and Design held over 150 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating and 5.0 stars on Angi across more than 40 reviews, plus 100% recommended on Facebook. The company earned a Chooz Score of 84.4%. The Chooz Score's cross-platform analysis found the same story wherever Premier turns up, which is harder than it sounds once the volume runs this high. Behind the numbers is an Illinois business on record since 2008, licensed and insured, and standing behind its work with a one-year workmanship warranty. Reviewers keep circling the same idea, that the quality doesn't slip from one job to the next. "Rick and his team just finished painting our entire first floor, all trim and doors - over 2,000sqft in 5 days!" - Barbi D., Google Review
If you're the kind of homeowner who keeps a good painter on speed dial, you'll recognize Premier's regulars. People here don't hire Rick Jones once. They hire him for the interior, then the exterior, then the deck, then the next house. The Chooz Score's customer retention indicators sit near the top for exactly that reason, since reviewer after reviewer describes coming back for a second, third, or years-long run of projects. The names pile up. One customer is on their third exterior repaint and says they'll always go to Premier. Another has trusted the company since 2006. A third calls them the only painters she keeps on speed dial after years of jobs. That's not marketing. That's a customer base that stopped shopping around. "This is the third time we have had the exterior of our home painted and we will always go to Premier Painting for any future projects inside or outside." - Dave W., Google Review
What sets Premier apart isn't the lowest price. Reviewers are refreshingly upfront that this isn't the cheapest crew in the Metro East, and just as upfront that they'd pay it again. The phrase worth every penny turns up more than once, usually right after someone admits they had a cheaper quote in hand and chose Premier anyway. Estimates come in competitive, extra work gets a fair add-on price instead of a surprise, and reviewers describe the finish as the reason the money made sense. "although Premier was not the cheapest option, I believe you get what you pay for." - Loren D., Google Review
