4 Best Painters Near Ballantyne, NC - Chooz Score Ranked

At the time of our analysis, Standard Painting & Maintenance carried a Chooz Score of 92%. The company has served the Charlotte area since 2010, has been Accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2019, and is registered in North Carolina as business entity No. 1586450. It is family-run, led by owner Luis Aguirre, and works across Charlotte, Mint Hill, and the surrounding suburbs.

Across its review profiles, the company held over 170 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, along with 4.0 stars on Yelp and 100% recommended on Facebook across over 10 reviews. A 5.0 average across more than 170 Google reviews is uncommon at that volume, and the Facebook and Yelp profiles, though far smaller, point the same direction.

Repeat hires are the clearest pattern, with at least ten reviewers in the sample we analyzed describing second, third, or continuing projects, and one homeowner returning four years after her first exterior job. Owner Luis Aguirre is named in most reviews, and crew leads such as Aaron and Ezequiel recur across independent accounts, so the roster appears stable job to job. The same owner and project managers reappearing across years of separate reviews is a stronger reliability signal than any single star rating. Reviewers also cite punctual crews, careful prep and cleanup, and individually written owner replies.

"Luis and his team have done several jobs in our home over the past couple years. They are neat, quick and very fair on pricing. They don't just do paint - we had them do a backsplash and new floor to complete our kitchen transformation. Great local business that does things the right way." - Steve B., Google Review

Advice For Future Customers

Reviewers who describe the smoothest projects mention starting with Luis on site for a walkthrough and a detailed written quote, and several credit that itemized scope with helping them prioritize the work, so it is worth asking for one up front. Because a named project manager such as Aaron or Ezequiel typically runs the job day to day, with reviewers describing daily site visits and text updates, you may want to confirm who your on-site lead will be and how they will keep you posted as the work moves along.

At the time of our analysis, Ukie Painting held over 500 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 4.9 stars on both Angi and HomeAdvisor, 5.0 stars on Yelp, and 100% recommended on Facebook. A 4.9 average sustained across more than 500 reviews is uncommon, since ratings usually slip as review volume climbs.

The company earned a Chooz Score of 91.4%. It has painted in the greater Charlotte area for over five years and is accredited with the Better Business Bureau. It is also registered in North Carolina as NC Business Entity No. 2108869, and works out of Mint Hill under co-owner Vitalii across Charlotte, Matthews, Harrisburg, and the surrounding communities.

Ukie assigns named crews and project managers who recur across the reviews, with painters like Christian, Juan, and Martin and a dedicated cabinet team singled out by name job after job. Reviewers frequently describe a project manager checking in during the work and walking a punch list at the end, a level of coordination that stands out at this volume. The owner replies to nearly every review individually, and we found repeat customers throughout, many describing second or third projects. The main recurring criticism concerns finish durability on a small share of jobs, which we cover below.

"From the project manager, Andrii, to the painter, Cristian, who did the job, everyone was extremely professional. The job was done on time with outstanding communication and quality workmanship." - Jeff L., Google Review

Advice For Future Customers

For larger projects, reviewers who spelled out the full scope in writing had the fewest surprises, so confirm what is and isn't included, especially trim and prep, before work starts. Ukie assigns a project manager to each job, and the best-run projects are ones where the customer walks the final punch list with that manager. A small number of reviewers, mostly on exterior work, report the finish peeling or needing rework, and a few were slow to resolve. Ask them directly: "If the paint starts peeling later, how do you handle the warranty and follow-up?"

"Our gutters have peeled multiple times and have had to be repainted multiple times. They are peeling again in areas." - Amanda J., Google Review

At the time we analyzed DJO Home Painting, the company held over 120 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 4.4 stars on Yelp and 100% recommended on Facebook. The Google rating sits just below perfect across a large base, while the smaller Yelp and Facebook profiles show a bit more spread.

The company earned a Chooz Score of 86.1%. DJO is a family-run painting business in Concord that has been operating since 2015 and serves Concord along with Charlotte and nearby towns such as Huntersville, Davidson, and Kannapolis. Owner Alex Rodriguez leads the crews on site and project coordinator Tatiana Corvacho manages client communication, and the company backs its work with a 2-Year Guarantee.

Across the reviews we analyzed, the work is almost entirely painting, with interior and exterior repaints and kitchen cabinet refinishing coming up most often, alongside drywall repair, deck and fence staining, and add-ons such as power washing and popcorn ceiling removal. The same people recur across the reviews, with coordinator Tatiana Corvacho and owner Alex Rodriguez handling communication and painters such as Carlos and Sebastian on site, and many reviewers note nightly updates on when the crew would return, which is consistent with a coordinated in-house team. The owners reply to most reviews, and we found at least six reviewers describing repeat projects or plans to hire the same crew again. Most accounts are strongly positive, and the main negative feedback concerns a project that was left unfinished and how the company handled it, which we cover below.

"Communication was excellent from start to finish with Tatiana Corvacho the project coordinator and Alex Rodriguez the owner. Our project spanned 4 days and we got notifications each night before letting us know when the crew would be there to start the next day." - Jeff H., Google Review

Advice For Future Customers

Most reviews describe smooth projects, but one detailed account describes a fence-staining job that was left unfinished after the crew asked for more money partway through, and it drew no response from the company. A change in scope or price partway through a job is worth understanding before you sign, so it helps to confirm how the company handles one and what happens if a worker is unavailable mid-project. Ask them directly: "If the estimate or scope changes once work has started, how will you let me know, and how do you make sure the job still gets finished on the original contract?"

"That same afternoon, I finally spoke with Alex and all he wanted was more money to finish the project." - Hania B., Google Review (no owner reply)

When we ran our analysis, Perfection Painting Pros held over 90 Google reviews with a 4.8-star rating, along with 4.7 stars on Yelp across over 25 reviews and 100% recommended on Facebook across 3 reviews. The ratings hold steady across the two platforms carrying real volume, and the profile stays consistent rather than leaning on a single strong site.

The company earned a Chooz Score of 83.9%. It has operated as a North Carolina company registered since 2018, incorporated as Perfection Painting Pros LLC. The business is owner-led by Ian Olson, who handles estimates himself and oversees the crew on site, and it serves Charlotte along with the surrounding North Carolina and South Carolina communities.

The reviews we analyzed show a few patterns. Owner Ian Olson is named in most of them, handling estimates himself and overseeing the work, and recurring crew members like Freddy and Saul point to an in-house team rather than rotating subcontractors. Surface prep and repair come up often, with wood and drywall fixes and pressure washing folded into the jobs. The owner replies to nearly all reviews, and at least a dozen reviewers describe second or third projects. The two low ratings in our sample concern the estimate stage, not completed work, which we cover below.

"Ian and Freddy’s team came back and took care of it. They stand behind their work and make sure you are satisfied. They also do little extra things to make the job top notch." - Bill G., Google Review

Advice For Future Customers

Reviewers often credit the crew with folding surface prep and repairs, wood, drywall, and pressure washing, into the paint job, so if your project involves older siding or worn trim, walk the surfaces with Ian at the estimate and get the prep scope written down. Both low ratings in our sample concern the quoting stage rather than finished work, and one phone-estimate account went without a public reply. Ask them directly: "Once we agree on scope and timing by phone, can you send it to me in writing before work starts?"

"Terrible customer service!! Spoke with the owner briefly over the phone for a quick estimate and immediate availability, and he totally gas lighted what he said he would do." - Minna H., Google Review (no owner reply)
