Best Painters Near Eastover, NC - Chooz Score Ranked

At the time of our analysis, Garner’s Painting Service held over 350 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 4.1 stars on Yelp across over 10 reviews and 100% recommended on Facebook. Nearly all of that volume sits on Google, where the sample is large and the average high, while the Yelp and Facebook profiles rest on much smaller counts.

The company earned a Chooz Score of 88.2%. It operates as a long-established Fayetteville painting contractor, has been Accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2008, and is registered in North Carolina as Business Entity No. 0823451. The business is family-run under owner Steve Seitz, and it serves Fayetteville and the surrounding eastern North Carolina communities.

The reviews we analyzed point most consistently to named, recurring crews. We found at least a hundred reviews that name individual painters, with Don, Beto, Richard, Kenny, Tim, Nick, and Fernando appearing across projects and years, a pattern consistent with an in-house crew rather than rotating subcontractors. Interior and exterior painting are the most common projects described, with drywall and surface repair recurring alongside them. Repeat and long-term hiring shows up as well, and we found at least a dozen reviewers describing prior or ongoing work, including one who reports using the company for 14 years. The owner replies to most reviews, usually addressing the reviewer and the project by name. The recurring criticism in our sample concerns communication and follow-through after the initial work, which we cover below.

"Were here on time and did some awesome work. Richard was very professional. Garner’s has been to my home multiple times and I will continue to use them in the future." - Ceferino L., Google Review

Advice For Future Customers

A handful of reviews describe difficulty reaching the company or getting follow-up scheduled after the initial work, with a few noting that promised touch-ups were slow to happen. The painting itself is praised even in these accounts, so the point worth raising is how the company stays in contact once a job is underway. Ask them directly: "Once we’ve agreed to move forward, who is my point of contact, and how will you keep me updated on scheduling and any touch-ups?"

"Poor communication. Hard to get hold of after you agree to hire. Would not recommend because of this. On the other hand, painters did an excellent job." - Mary Ann P., Google Review

Why Customers Choose Paintworks Unlimited Contracting Co LLC

"My One and Only Phone Call"

Customers don't just come back to Paintworks. They come back for decades. Read through the reviews and the same story keeps surfacing: hired once, hired again, then hired again years later.

Shon McAteer had Jon paint his home 20 years ago and called him back this year. Another reviewer, j van, describes using the company across 22 years of repairs, power washing, and painting. Serinda Byrns had her exterior painted, then knew exactly who to call when Hurricane Matthew flooded her home in 2016, and the owner's reply thanks her for a decade of business.

High marks on the Chooz Score's customer retention indicators back this up: roughly a quarter of the reviews we analyzed come from customers describing a second, third, or return project rather than a one-time job. Realtors, church congregations, and commercial property managers show up as repeat clients too, and that kind of loyalty has to be earned job after job.

"Jon and his folks painted the exterior of my house and an old metal shed in the backyard to match! ... So when the house was flooded and damaged during Hurricane Matthew in 2016, I knew exactly who to call! ... Anytime I need painting done, Paintworks is my one and only phone call." - Serinda B., Google Review

Established and Still Going Strong

The last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, Paintworks held over 100 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, and the pace hasn't slowed. Six of those reviews landed in the three months before we looked. The company earned a Chooz Score of 88.1%.

Based in Fayetteville, Paintworks covers a wide stretch of the region, from Hope Mills and Eastover out to Cameron, Raeford, and Southern Pines and up toward Garner and Raleigh, and it's registered in North Carolina as NC Business Entity No. 1292927. What stands out isn't just the average, it's how consistently the reviews read. Professional, on time, clean, detailed. Those same words turn up across different customers and different jobs, which is hard to fake at this volume.

"To refresh the dilapidated look of my home, I searched painters to do repair/paint on the entire exterior of my 1750 Sq Ft... The finished product brought tears to my eyes... And the home looked PHENOMENAL!!!" - Gregory S., Google Review

The Owner Walks Every Job

Jon Little, the owner, does the estimate himself, then comes back when the work is done to walk the job with you. That pattern repeats across review after review. Wanda Fields had most of her interior painted, including a two-story foyer and stairwell, in under three days. When the crew finished, the owner returned, spotted a couple of touch-ups, and had them fixed before he'd call it done. The crew kept her pet parrot safe the whole time.

The Chooz Score's owner engagement indicators are strong here: Jon is named personally in a large share of the reviews, he answers nearly every one, and customers describe him keeping them posted almost daily while the work is underway. When the same person estimates the job, checks in during it, and inspects the final result, you get a single point of accountability from first call to last coat.

"When the work was done, the owner came back and did a walk through to make sure I was satisfied. He saw a couple of spots and had them touch it up... The workers took pride in their work down to making sure they put all my belongings back the way they found them." - Wanda F., Google Review
