Call the number and Antonio answers. No receptionist, no callback queue. The pattern most reviewers describe starts the same way. Antonio Aranda tends to show up himself, walk the job, and hand over a written quote the same day he visits, then stay in contact while the crew works. Bob Thibeault called and Mr. Aranda was at the house that day, with a reasonable quote before evening. The crew is Antonio's own rather than a rotating cast of subcontractors, and names like Roberto, Gama, Angel and Romeo turn up again and again across the reviews. The Chooz Score's owner engagement indicators are strong here, with the owner named directly in most reviews and personally replying to nearly every one. "The owner communicated with us daily, keeping us in the loop at all times." - Trevor B., Google Review
Jeffrey Covington keeps Antonio on speed dial, and his beach house is on its third major renovation with the crew. He isn't alone. Dana Rabon has run three commercial paint jobs through Aranda and plans to keep going, and marla smith started with a deck and stairs, then brought the team back inside for interior painting. Becky Claggett, Kelly Warren and Betty Pierce each describe a string of projects over the years rather than a one-time hire. That return business shows up in the Chooz Score's customer retention indicators, where more than a fifth of reviewers mention coming back or committing to the next job before the current one wraps. "This was my 3rd major renovation project with him and I am proud to give Aranda Painting my highest recommendation and wish him and his crew all the best!!" - Jeff C., Google Review
What sets Aranda apart on paper is a number most contractors can't hold onto as they grow. The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, the company held over 75 Google reviews with a perfect 5.0-star rating, and new five-star reviews were still arriving through the summer. All of that added up to a Chooz Score of 90.3%. It runs as a registered North Carolina business under entity No. 2693847, and the insurance behind it isn't just a claim on a website. One reviewer, a project manager for a restoration company with strict requirements for its subcontractors, noted that many local outfits didn't qualify to work with him, while Aranda carried strong enough coverage to protect his clients. "Five stars just isn't enough for as impressed as we are by the level of work from Aranda Painting." - Laurel C., Google Review
