Why Customers Choose Ulta Home

Communication & Responsiveness

If you're a first-time customer who wants guidance through every step of your project, Ulta Home delivers. Owner Bruno and his team respond to virtually every review with personalized messages that reference specific project details and team members—not copy-paste thank yous. The last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, the owner response rate was approximately 90-95%. This responsiveness carries through to the actual work:

Quality & Attention to Detail

If you're particular about craftsmanship and the details matter to you, this company's reviews reflect that focus. Many of the reviews we looked at mention specific prep work, careful protection of belongings, and meticulous cleanup. Team members are frequently praised by name—Jefferson, Leo's team, Hugo, Tiago, Aldo—which suggests consistent quality across different crews:

• Detailed preparation work on complex projects, including multi-day prep on exterior painting
• Crews that photograph the home before and after, returning everything to its original position
• Proactive quality control—painters have flagged color match issues themselves to ensure customer satisfaction

"Jefferson was a superior craftsman. He spent close to three days preparing the clapboards for painting. He then caulked the side of the house; I counted six tubes of caulk used on the building. The results were very impressive." - Barbara P., Google Review

Trusted for Repeat Business

If you're looking for a long-term home improvement partner, Ulta Home has built that kind of relationship with many customers. Several reviewers specifically mention using them multiple times across different projects—interior painting, exterior work, flooring, cabinet refinishing, and bathroom remodels:

• A designer has completed 3 successful projects with them and recommends them to all clients
• One customer has used them for both interior and exterior painting months apart
• Multiple reviews mention "used them many times" and "will definitely hire again"

Questions to Ask Ulta Home

Technical advice on specialty finishes

Nearly all reviews are strongly positive, but there is one 3-star review where a customer disagreed with technical guidance Ulta provided about staining options. This appears to be a difference of opinion rather than a service complaint, but if you have a specialty finish project—like re-staining previously painted surfaces—it may be worth discussing their approach to ensure alignment. Ask them directly: "What's your approach to [your specific finish type], and can you walk me through why you recommend it?"

"I disagree with your statement. Solid stain could be painted over many services, including an already painted wood surface." - Chris T., Google Review (no owner reply)
