10 Best Painters Near Cleveland, 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.

At the time we analyzed CertaPro Painters of Salisbury/Concord/Gastonia, NC, the company held over 250 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 98% recommended on Facebook across over 25 reviews and 4.1 stars on Yelp across 10 reviews. The Yelp rating runs lower than the others, a more common spread than a company showing the same rating on every platform.

The company earned a Chooz Score of 87.9%. It is a locally owned CertaPro franchise that has operated in the Kannapolis area for 13 years and holds Better Business Bureau accreditation. 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. It serves homes and businesses across Cabarrus, Rowan, and Gaston counties from a base in Kannapolis.

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.

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.
