When we ran our analysis, GW Painting had earned a Chooz Score of 91.5%. It is a locally owned Charlotte company that has operated for roughly two years and is registered in North Carolina as Business Entity No. 2898625. The company is owner-operated by co-founder Elias Genao, and it serves Charlotte and the surrounding communities.
Across its review profiles, the company held over 100 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, along with 100% recommended on Facebook. The entire rating history sits on Google, where a five-star average across more than a hundred reviews is uncommon, and the only other profile is a small Facebook page.
The reviews we analyzed center on the owner. Elias is named in most of the reviews we read, often as the person who ran the estimate and worked on site, which points to an owner-led operation rather than a purely crew-dispatched one. Interior and custom painting are the most common projects, with drywall repair, exterior work, cabinets, decks, and wood-rot repair also appearing. Repeat and returning customers stand out, and we found at least twenty reviewers describing more than one project with the company, including several on their third job. Each review we analyzed carries a reply from the company. None of the reviews we analyzed included a complaint or a rating below five stars.
"This is our third time using GW. Elias and his crew refinished our back deck and did a beautiful job with the stain and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. Will definitely use them again." - Michael V., Google Review

Get StartedFREE SERVICEAt 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
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

Nearly three decades in business builds a certain kind of trust. Anthony Meggs Painting LLC has been serving the Charlotte and Monroe areas since 1995, and the consistency shows in their reviews. The last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, they had over 90 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating:
"I can't say enough about how happy I am with Anthony Meggs service. They were on time and completed the job exactly when they said, and the quality is probably the best I have seen." - Debbie J., Google Review
The same crew names appear across multiple reviews, and customers request them by name for return projects. The Chooz Score's in-house crews component shows consistency: Emily, Francisco, Eli, Tony, and Jayvi are all praised individually for their workmanship. This company earned a Chooz Score of 91.3%:
"Extremely happy with Anthony Meggs Painting LLC, in particular with the painters who completed our job: Emily and Eli. This was by far the best paint job we've ever had done in our home, and we won't hesitate to call them again." - Jennifer T., Google Review
What sets them apart is the warranty. One reviewer specifically mentions an 18-month guarantee on workmanship, and the pattern of customers returning for multiple projects suggests confidence in the longevity of the work. The Chooz Score's customer retention indicators are strong:
"Highly recommend. Professional and courteous, got the job done to our satisfaction and guarantees the work for 18 months." - Scott R., Google Review
At the time of our analysis, DeHaan Painting held over 130 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with a 5.0-star rating on Yelp and 100% recommended on Facebook across over 15 reviews. Maintaining a 4.9-star average across more than 130 Google reviews is uncommon, since averages tend to drift downward as review volume grows.
The company earned a Chooz Score of 90.3%. DeHaan Painting has been registered as a North Carolina business since 2015 and operates as an owner-led company under Matt DeHaan, serving Charlotte and the surrounding metro area. It backs its work with a stated two-year workmanship warranty.
Across the reviews we analyzed, a few patterns recur. Professionalism, responsive communication, and clean, detailed work are the themes mentioned most often, and the projects described range from interior and exterior repaints to cabinet refinishing, popcorn-ceiling removal, drywall repair, and specialty finishes such as limewash and Roman clay. Crew members are named individually across the reviews we read, with owner Matt DeHaan, estimator Chenoa, and painters including Dixon, Jaime, and Silvia recurring across projects that span several years, which is consistent with an in-house crew rather than rotating subcontractors. Repeat hiring is another recurring pattern, and we found at least ten reviewers describing second, third, or long-running relationships with the company, several of them across multiple properties. The company also responds to reviews consistently, with an owner reply attached to every review we analyzed. Only one written negative appeared in our sample, a disagreement over a remote exterior estimate, and it drew a specific, professional reply from the company.
"DeHann Painting has helped me with multiple projects over the years and has become a trusted provider. They have specialized product knowledge and are great about recommending the right product for the job such as a hardened finish for my built-ins and a deep penetrating stain for my porch. I've always been happy with the work." - Michael E., Google Review
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.
The reviews we analyzed cluster around a few themes. Owner Derek Milos is named in most of the reviews we analyzed, and reviewers repeatedly describe an upfront walkthrough with a clear assessment and transparent pricing before work begins, carried out by the same in-house crew across projects. Interior painting is the most common project, with exterior work, wood staining, drywall and damage repair, and epoxy floor coatings also recurring, and a few reviewers describe larger restoration jobs such as a 125-year-old mill house and columns on a century-old building. Careful surface preparation and daily cleanup come up often. Several reviewers are real estate professionals who describe referring the company to clients preparing a home for sale. Repeat use shows up as well, with at least five reviewers describing a second project, one of them returning after four years. The owner replies to most reviews, and none of the reviews we analyzed fell below five stars or noted a problem.
"Derek's professionalism stood out immediately — he provided clear expectations, transparent pricing, and thoughtful recommendations during the walk-through, which set the tone for a smooth project." - Naveen K., Google Review
