3 Best Painters Near Bunnlevel, NC Ranked by Chooz Score

The owner answers for his own work, and it shows from the first phone call. Scott Tomlinson and estimator Jake Tomlinson stay hands-on from the opening walkthrough and written quote all the way to the final touch-ups, and the company responds to nearly every review that comes in.

Those replies aren't copy-paste thank-yous. They name the reviewer, reference the actual project, and read like a person wrote them, which is what the Chooz Score's review response quality component is built to reward. Across the reviews, a pattern emerges. People feel looped in the whole way through, and the follow-through doesn't stop at the last coat.

Customers don't just come back to Paintworks. They come back for decades. Read through the reviews and the same story keeps surfacing: hired once, hired again, then hired again years later.

Shon McAteer had Jon paint his home 20 years ago and called him back this year. Another reviewer, j van, describes using the company across 22 years of repairs, power washing, and painting. Serinda Byrns had her exterior painted, then knew exactly who to call when Hurricane Matthew flooded her home in 2016, and the owner's reply thanks her for a decade of business.

At the time we analyzed Clear Image Painting & Cleaning, the company held over 35 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, along with 5.0 stars on Yelp across six reviews and 100% recommended on Facebook across six reviews. None of the three profiles shows a rating below five stars, a result that is easier to hold at this review volume than at several hundred, and worth reading in that light.

The company earned a Chooz Score of 84.9%. Its website FAQ lists general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and painting work comes with a written warranty whose terms are set in the estimate, backed by a satisfaction guarantee. Owner Brian Leake has run the business in Moore County for more than 25 years as a service-area operation without a public storefront, covering Carthage, Pinehurst, Southern Pines and the wider Sandhills. Alongside painting and drywall repair, the same crew handles pressure washing, window and carpet cleaning, and roof and gutter clearing.
