8 Best Painters Near Catawba, NC Ranked by Chooz Score

At the time we analyzed DIP Coatings, the company held over 40 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, along with 5.0 stars on Angi across over 10 reviews and 100% recommended on Facebook. The five-star rating holds across both Google and Angi, where the review counts are large enough to carry weight, rather than resting on a single profile.

The company earned a Chooz Score of 90.3%. DIP Coatings has operated in the Troutman area since 2008 and is registered in North Carolina as Business Entity No. 1756375. Alongside interior and exterior painting, the company handles epoxy floor coatings and other specialty coatings, and its site states that it is fully insured.

What sets Grace apart from most painters is a set of credentials you can actually check. The company is a licensed North Carolina general contractor, carrying License No. L.103239, and it is fully insured and bonded. Grace is a registered North Carolina business and is IICRC Registered in mold remediation, which lets the crew legally take on work many painting outfits can't.

That standing shows up in the scope of jobs customers hand them. Louis Leone brought Grace in for a full master bathroom renovation that ran well beyond paint, and the whole thing was coordinated under one contractor. The Chooz Score's business authority check confirmed the licensing and insurance are active and on file, so the accountability behind that range is real, not just a line on a website.

When we ran our analysis, CertaPro Painters of Hickory/Catawba Valley/High Country had earned a Chooz Score of 87.1%. The company has been Accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2008 and is registered with the North Carolina Secretary of State as Business Entity No. 1028180. It is a locally owned CertaPro franchise led by Phyllis and Harold Lloyd, serving Hickory, the Catawba Valley and the High Country, and it backs its work with a two-year warranty.

Across its review profiles, the company held over 280 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 4.7 stars on Yelp across over 35 reviews and 100% recommended on Facebook across 15 reviews. The Google rating is high for a profile of that size, and the Yelp and Facebook profiles, though smaller, read in the same range.

What sets Avanti apart shows up before you read a word of any single review. Across the whole Google page, the rating has never slipped. At the time of our analysis, Avanti Painting had over 90 Google reviews and a perfect 5.0-star rating, with no negative reviews anywhere on the major platforms. The company earned a Chooz Score of 86.1%. Reviewers reach for the same words so often that the themes start to blur, professional, prompt, reasonable, meticulous. Avanti is also a registered North Carolina business, Entity No. 1473545, a small thing that's easy to verify and nice to have on record before you hand someone the keys to your house.

The same names keep turning up in these reviews, and they aren't first-timers. People hire Avanti, then hire them again, sometimes years apart. Wayne Garrett has used the company several times over the years. Jennifer Duch Grissom brought them back for both her home and her business. Jerry Slaughter worked with John twice across roughly a decade, the first time on the exterior and the second on the exterior and interior both, and came away certain he'd call again. Avanti sits at the top of the Chooz Score's customer retention indicators, and reading the reviews it's easy to see why. When the paint holds up and the crew is easy to deal with, people don't go shopping around next time.

When we ran our analysis, Trailblaze Paints held over 140 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, along with 100% recommended on Facebook across 7 reviews and 3.0 stars on Yelp across 2 reviews. A perfect Google average at that review volume is uncommon, and the two-review Yelp sample is too small to shift the overall picture.

The company earned a Chooz Score of 83.7%. At least ten of the reviews we analyzed were posted in the three months before our analysis, most of them describing whole-home interior work. It has painted in the Mooresville and Lake Norman area for seven years and is registered in North Carolina as NC Business Entity No. 2778823. Owner Jack Magee runs the business from Mooresville, with a service area that reaches Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Statesville, and Charlotte.
