Its team is EPA Lead Certified, and in North Carolina a state general contractor license is required only for projects of $40,000 or more, with the company stating that it is licensed and insured and that its work carries a written warranty.

Spencer personally handles estimates, works alongside his crew, and is mentioned by name in nearly every review. What sets this company apart is the hands-on leadership, where the owner's standards are evident in every project:

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. "We recently completed a major renovation of our master bathroom, which included new flooring, vanities and quartz countertops, shower replacement with wall-to-wall porcelain tile, plumbing fixtures, carpentry, wallpaper removal and painting." - Louis L., Google Review

Grace's Google page reads the same top to bottom, five stars on every single review. At the time of our analysis, that came to a perfect 5.0-star rating across over 40 Google reviews, backed by 86% recommended on Facebook. Neighbors have also voted Grace a Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave four years running. Dig into what people actually write and the praise clusters around the same words, professional, communication, quality, and a lot of highly recommend. The company earned a Chooz Score of 87.1%. Roger Robertson, who gathered several estimates before choosing Grace, captured why the rating holds. "Grace was not the least expensive of the estimates we received. But based on the scope of the work they did compared to what the others proposed and the quality they provided we feel that Grace's value FAR exceeded what we would have received if we had gone with one of the other contractors." - Roger R., Google Review

When we ran our analysis, Richard's Painting of Concord had earned a Chooz Score of 86.1%. The company is owner-operated by Frank Davis, who meets customers at the property and often quotes the same day, and it is a member of the Painting Contractors Association. It serves Concord and the surrounding communities, and its work spans interior and exterior painting along with popcorn-ceiling removal, drywall repair, and cabinet refinishing.

Across its review profiles, the company held over 100 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 100% recommended on Facebook across 4 reviews and a 5.0-star rating on Yelp from a single review. A 4.9 rating sustained across more than 100 reviews reflects a large and consistent sample, though nearly all of that volume sits on Google rather than spread across platforms.

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. "John and his painting crew were simply outstanding. I've worked with many contractors and John and team are by far the best and most detailed crew." - Meredith K., Google Review

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. "I have had the pleasure of working with John and his crew at Avanti Painting twice now in the last decade or so. The first time we painted only the exterior while the second time we did both the exterior and interior. I feel certain that when the time comes again we will call on John once again." - Jerry S., Google Review
