Best Painters Near Westport, NC Ranked by Chooz Score

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. Communication and punctuality are the qualities reviewers return to most, followed by prep work and cleanup. We found at least eight reviewers describing regular updates during the project, and several more describing crews that arrived when promised and left rooms clean each evening. Owner Jack Magee appears throughout the reviews we analyzed alongside crew leads such as Zach, Geo, Eric, and Dennis. Several reviewers independently describe the same sequence, an on-site estimate, a color consultation with samples viewed on their own walls, and a final walkthrough. The main recurring criticism concerns project minimums, which we cover below. "Geo prepared an estimate onsite for my project which consisted of an accent wall in the living room, a bedroom and two bathrooms. I was then connected with Eric who came out with his color wheel to help me choose my colors, then came back with paint samples so I could view the colors on the walls throughout the course of the day." - Rose R., Google Review

Reviewers who took the color consultation describe it as the step that settled their choices, with a crew lead bringing a color wheel and samples to view on the wall, so it is worth accepting when offered. On project size, both one-star reviews in our sample concern small jobs the company declined after the estimate stage, and the more recent one received no response. Ask them directly: "Does my project meet your minimum job size?" "I was given a quote for around $3,000 I agreed to it signed contract gave them a check had no expectations about time line... 3 days later I get email they where canceling my contract and ripping check up." - Dieter K., Yelp Review (no owner reply)
