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)
One hundred and fourteen Google reviews. Not one sits below five stars. The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, Campos held a flat 5.0-star rating across over 100 Google reviews, and the pace hasn't slowed, with fresh five-star write-ups landing month after month rather than tapering off. What holds that number up is consistency. The owner replies to roughly nine of every ten reviews that come in, and the Chooz Score's cross-platform analysis found the same ratings echoing across the review sites where Campos appears rather than one strong platform propping up the rest. All of it adds up to a Chooz Score of 88.0%, carried by review quality, steady recent activity, and a verified business record. "The best of the best! Campos painting is the best professional painting company we've used." - Erica I., Google Review
Hire Campos and you don't get a rotating cast of subcontractors. You get the same faces. Pedro Campos runs the crew on site, his wife Lily handles scheduling and quoting, Matt walks homeowners through estimates, and Alex works alongside the rest. Those names turn up again and again across the reviews, which is exactly what the Chooz Score's in-house crews component looks for, the same people showing up job after job instead of a new subcontractor each time. That continuity shows in the work itself. On cedar-sided homes, which are common around the Fox Valley and unforgiving if rushed, the crew tends to slow down, repairing rotted boards and trim before a drop of paint goes on. "We recently had Pedro and his team paint our house and stain our deck, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our home has cedar siding, and they took the time to do some much-needed wood repair before beginning the painting process." - Robby V., Google Review
Longevity in a small market is its own kind of endorsement. Registered in Illinois since 2013 and accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2024, Campos has grown into one of those companies neighbors simply name when a friend asks who to call. Nextdoor voted the company a Neighborhood Favorite in both 2022 and 2023, and the reviews are thick with word-of-mouth. People hired Campos because they spotted the crew working a house down the block, or because a family member passed along the name. Deb Flores found them the low-tech way, after a string of no-shows from other painters. "We drove by Pedro and his crew working on another house down the street. He came right over and we had a quote the next day." - Deb F., Google Review
Campos advertises a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and most reviews describe the crew coming back to make small things right. One unresolved Yelp review runs the other way, describing paint that started peeling with calls that went unreturned, and it drew no public reply. It isn't the pattern here, but it's a fair reason to get the guarantee pinned down before work starts. Ask them directly: "What exactly does your satisfaction guarantee cover, how long does it last, and how do I reach you if I spot a problem later?" "Paint has begun peeling off my home. They have refused to stand by their warranty. Will not return calls." - Mike V., Yelp Review (no owner reply)

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
Ryan's name shows up in nearly every review, and not as a distant figurehead. He walks the property, works up the quote, then shows up in work clothes to paint alongside his crew. That combination is rare. Reviewers keep pointing out that the person who priced the job is the same person on the ladder finishing it, which takes a lot of the hand-off risk out of hiring a painter. It shows up on the ambitious jobs too. When one homeowner wanted to try a bold color drench, coating walls, ceilings, trim, and even the light switch covers in a single shade, it was Ryan's hands-on guidance that gave them the confidence to go for it. "We decided to go bold with a full "color drench"—walls, ceilings, trim, window ledges, even the light switch covers all in the same color—and Ryan’s knowledge and advice gave us the confidence to go for it." - Marie S., Google Review
Read through the reviews and the same names keep resurfacing, project after project. This isn't a company people hire once. Paul V. has had nearly every room inside and out painted over the years. Rob H. had almost his whole interior done in 2022, then called back for the last room. Courtney F. describes two extensive projects, and Greg W. is already on his third go-round. The Chooz Score’s customer retention indicators land high for exactly this reason, with many of the reviews we looked at describing repeat work rather than a one-time job. "My go-to" and "we use no one else" turn up again and again, in different words but the same spirit. "I have used Always Perfect Painters for the last twenty years. Fantastic people and exceptional work. They are Always Perfect. I would highly recommend them." - John O., Google Review
The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, Always Perfect Painters held a spotless record, over 40 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, 5.0 stars on Yelp, and 100% recommended on Facebook. Not a single sub-five-star review in the bunch. The Chooz Score’s cross-platform analysis picked up that same consistency across every site we checked, which is hard to fake and harder to sustain over decades. Founded in 1998, the company has spent more than 25 years building that record in and around St. Charles, and it earned a Chooz Score of 85%. "The name fits them well. We have used them several times and it is exactly "Always Perfect!!!" Ryan and his team are so incredible, their attention to detail and super fast.... Amazing!!!!" - Mike B., Google Review
