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
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

Get StartedFREE SERVICECustomers 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
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
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
At the time of our analysis, G&G Drywall held over 60 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 4.8 stars on Angi across over 80 reviews and 5.0 stars on Yelp. Ratings this consistent, all at or above 4.8 across the platforms carrying meaningful review volume, are uncommon. Most companies show at least one weaker profile.
The company earned a Chooz Score of 86.7% and is a registered North Carolina business entity. It is led by owner Guy Graham, who handles estimates himself and works alongside a small crew, and it serves West End and the wider Sandhills region of North Carolina, including Fayetteville, Pinehurst, and Pembroke.
Across the reviews we analyzed, a few patterns recur. Water damage and ceiling repair are the most common project types, and we found at least ten reviews describing that kind of work, several handled on short notice or the same day. The owner, Guy Graham, is named directly in most of the reviews we analyzed, often alongside a small recurring crew, a pattern consistent with an in-house team rather than rotating subcontractors. Fair or reasonable pricing is another recurring theme, mentioned by at least ten reviewers, and repeat hiring stands out as well, with at least eight reviewers describing second projects or saying they would use the company again.
"Pro's! I gave Guy a call. He came over that day and gave me a reasonable quote. Banged out the whole job the next day. Real nice guy easy to talk to. His crew hustles, and they cleaned up their mess when they were done. Only Guy I'll ever use for drywall." - Henry K., Google Review
At the time of our analysis, 360 Painting of Pinehurst held over 60 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with over 35 reviews on HomeAdvisor with a 4.5-star rating and 100% recommended on Facebook across only two reviews there. The two platforms carrying meaningful volume rate the company within about half a star of each other, which points to consistent work rather than one unusually strong profile.
The company earned a Chooz Score of 86.1%. It has operated in the Pinehurst area for roughly a decade and is registered in North Carolina as Business Entity No. 1251446. It is owner-run by Belinda Wiesehan, who also handles the color consultations, and its service area covers Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen, and the surrounding Sandhills communities.
Across the 43 reviews we analyzed, the owner replies to nearly all of them, with responses on all but two. The same crew and office staff are named repeatedly across those reviews, with Nick, Belinda, and the painting pair of Alex and Ramon recurring over multiple years, which is consistent with an in-house crew rather than rotating subcontractors. Recurring themes include professionalism, fair or reasonable pricing, on-time arrival, and thorough clean-up, and we found at least six reviewers describing repeat or continued work, among them a private golf course and a client served since 2023. The projects run from interior and exterior repaints to cabinet work, wood staining, and drywall repair, alongside institutional jobs such as a church exterior and a golf club clubhouse. The negative feedback in our sample is limited to two sub-five-star reviews, one a rating-only two-star with no written detail and one a three-star noting missed spots that drew a prompt owner reply offering to call and resolve the issue.
"Samantha in the office, as well as Alex and Ramone, the painters, were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout the process. I would definitely use them again." - Patricia S., Google Review
When we ran our analysis, Erazo's Painting LLC had earned a Chooz Score of 84.2%. The company has served coastal North Carolina for over a decade and is registered in the state as NC Business Entity No. 2635740. It operates as a service-area business rather than from a storefront, working across Brunswick, New Hanover, and Columbus counties, and it is led by Armando Erazo with a small family crew.
Across its review profiles, the company held over 10 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating and 5.0 stars on Angi across over 10 reviews. Both profiles sit at the top of the scale, on a review base that is modest in size but consistent everywhere it appears.
Across the reviews we analyzed, a few patterns recur. The same team is described handling pressure washing, replacing porch trim with PVC, installing a shiplap ceiling, and fitting light fixtures alongside interior and exterior painting, which points to a single crew that takes on broader home repair rather than paint alone. The crew is named consistently, with Armando, Christian, and Junior appearing across multiple projects, which is consistent with an in-house team rather than rotating subcontractors. The reviews also appear in both English and Spanish, reflecting a bilingual customer base along the North Carolina coast, and we found at least four reviewers describing repeat or expanded projects. The company does not currently reply to its reviews on either platform, and none of the reviews we analyzed contained a written complaint to evaluate.
"Armando and his team did an excellent job pressure washing and painting exterior trim on our home. They were very responsive and scheduled our project quickly. The work was completed professionally and Armando was a pleasure to work with. They did such a great job that we asked them to do additional work replacing trim boards on our porch with PVC." - Dawn M., Google Review
