Over 170 Google reviews, and the star rating hasn't budged off five. The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, Standard Painting & Maintenance was sitting on over 170 Google reviews with a perfect 5.0-star rating and 100% recommended on Facebook, good for a Chooz Score of 92%. The Chooz Score's cross-platform read found the same picture on every site the company shows up on, not a number propped up by one lucky page. Longevity backs the volume. The company has been serving Charlotte and Mint Hill since 2010 and has been accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2019. What's telling is who leaves these reviews. A Charlotte interior designer refers the crew to her own clients, and even seasoned tradespeople line up behind them. "I'm a general contractor with 50 years experience in the industry, have hired hundreds of painting subs... I've seen the worst, and they are one of the best!" - Paul N., Google Review
Aaron supervises the site, Ezequiel walks the estimates and the daily check-ins, and names like Juan, Flavio, Jose, Maria and Delfino recur across independent reviews stretched over two years. That's the tell of an in-house team rather than a rotating cast of subcontractors. The Chooz Score's in-house crews component picked up on exactly this, the same painters turning up job after job, often called out by name by customers who never spoke to each other. It's a family-run operation under owner Luis Aguirre, and the crew treats that structure like a point of pride. One customer, remodeling a wine bar, singled out crew leader Flavio for keeping the team on track and handing the space back clean and reassembled. "Their crew leader Flavio did a great job leading his team. They finished the job in efficient time. They left my restaurant clean and put back together!" - Matthew P., Google Review
Read through these reviews and one word keeps resurfacing, communication. Every job opens with a walkthrough and a written quote handed over on the spot, and then a named project manager stays on it from that first visit through the final walkthrough. Customers describe daily check-ins, a text when the crew hits a decision point, and a quick visit after the work is done to confirm everything landed right. The setup really shows for owners who can't be on site. Megan Wolfe ran two separate projects from out of state, one selling a condo and one moving into a new home, both handled by phone and text while the project manager sent photos of the before and afters. "I was remote for this experience too so was constantly texting the project manager for updates. They were so responsive..." - Megan W., Google Review
