At the time of our analysis, Huskey's Paint & Design carried a Chooz Score of 88.4%. The company is a registered North Carolina business entity, has been Accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2024, and is led by owner Trent Huskey. Most projects begin with a free estimate and a walkthrough, with a project manager handling color selection and scheduling. It serves Sylva and the surrounding Western North Carolina counties, including Jackson, Haywood, Macon, and Swain.
Across its review profiles, the company held over 300 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 100% recommended on Facebook. A 4.9 average held across more than 300 reviews is uncommon, since ratings usually slip as the review count climbs.
The reviews we analyzed are numerous and detailed, and several themes recur across them. Reviewers describe a coordinated team rather than a single painter, naming an office coordinator, a color or sales consultant, and painting crews led by individuals such as Edgar and Emilio, a structure consistent with in-house crews rather than subcontracted labor. Professionalism, clear communication, punctual arrivals, and thorough cleanup come up repeatedly, along with a final walkthrough that reviewers mention closing out the job. We found at least twenty-five reviewers describing repeat work, referrals, or plans to hire again. The work described spans interior and exterior painting, deck and cabin staining, cabinet work, and power washing. The two sub-five-star reviews in our sample concern a declined lead-paint job and a plumbing accident that the company's insurance covered, and the owner replied to both at length, taking responsibility on the second.
"10/10 recommend using Huskey's Paint & Design for your painting needs. We hired Huskey's paint & design to paint the interior of our home. The entire process was seamless from start to finish. Booking the appointment with Jade, having Randall come out and discuss paint options and process and then having Emilio and his crew come out to paint the interior of our house perfectly. We will absolutely use Huskey's paint and design again in the future for any paint needs and 10/10 recommend using this company for yours. Thank you for beautiful work!" - Lindsay L., Google Review

Get StartedFREE SERVICEWhen we ran our analysis, Burlett Painting, LLC had earned a Chooz Score of 89.6%. The family-owned company has painted homes and businesses around Hendersonville for over 30 years and is registered as an active North Carolina LLC. It is now led by Richie Burlett, keeps a single in-house crew rather than subcontracting, stands behind its work through a warranty program, and serves Hendersonville, Brevard, and the surrounding Blue Ridge foothills.
Across its review profiles, the company held over 170 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, along with 4.8 stars on Yelp and 100% recommended on Facebook. A perfect Google rating across a review base this large is uncommon, though nearly all of that volume sits on Google, with only a handful of Yelp and Facebook reviews alongside it.
Across the reviews we analyzed, the work is almost entirely painting, split between interior repaints, exterior and deck work, cabinet refinishing, and related prep such as popcorn ceiling and wallpaper removal, with several reviewers describing full-house repaints tied to a recent move or purchase. The same individuals recur across the reviews, with Terry handling estimates and color consultation and Richie and project manager Paco on site with the crew, which across a review base this size is consistent with a stable in-house team rather than rotating subcontractors. The owners reply to every review we read, and we found at least six reviewers describing repeat projects or referrals from neighbors and realtors. Several reviews describe the company returning after completion to handle touch-ups without additional prompting. None of the reviews we analyzed contained a complaint, and the single rating below five stars reads as cautious praise rather than criticism.
"Terry was fantastic from start to finish, and Paco and the crew did top notch work. I would use them again, and even more importantly, recommend them, in a heartbeat." - Adam E., Google Review
