At the time we analyzed Anderson Painting, the company held over 250 Google reviews with a 4.8-star rating, along with 96% recommended on Facebook across over 20 reviews and 3.9 stars on Yelp across 10 reviews. The Google profile alone carries over 250 ratings, a high review count for a regional painting company.
The company earned a Chooz Score of 89.7%. Anderson Painting is family owned and operated, has served the Raleigh area and the greater Triangle for nearly two decades, and is registered in North Carolina as Business Entity No. 1088021. Its crews are trained for EPA lead-safe work on older homes, and the company handles carpentry, siding, and drywall repair alongside interior and exterior painting.
The reviews we analyzed are concentrated on Google, with single reviews on Facebook and Yelp, and describe interior and exterior painting most often, alongside carpentry and wood repair, deck and fence staining, and cabinet and door refinishing. Praise across the reviews we read centers on crew workmanship and on named individuals such as Scott, Mohammad, and Wells, several of whom appear across more than one job and more than one year. The company runs its own crews rather than subcontractors, and we found at least a dozen reviewers describing repeat projects or neighbor referrals. The owner responds to reviews individually, including several of the critical ones. The recurring thread in the critical reviews concerns office communication and follow-through on agreed touch-ups, which we cover below.
"This was our second time using Anderson Painting. They are our 'go to' painters, and we appreciate their quality work and professionalism. Thank you to the entire team, Mohammad, Noaman and Wells!" - Lisa F., Google Review
A handful of reviews describe agreed touch-ups or callback items that were promised but slow to be completed, and at least one received no response from the company. Confirming how punch-list items and post-job fixes are scheduled is worth doing before you hire. Ask them directly: "If something needs a touch-up after the crew leaves, who owns that and what is the timeline for coming back?"
"They offered to come fix it and remove it, said 4 times they would come to do it and never showed up to do it even after us reminding them. For the price we paid this felt somewhat unacceptable." - Chelsea J., Google Review (no owner reply)

Get StartedFREE SERVICECommunication & Responsiveness
If you're a first-time customer who wants guidance through the painting process, JBG Services delivers the kind of attentive service that puts minds at ease. The owners respond to over 90% of Google reviews with personalized replies that reference specific project details and team members by name—not generic thank-yous (Source: Chooz Score - Review Response Rate 3.0/3.0 and Review Response Quality 3.4/3.5). This carries through to the actual work:
"Jerome was prompt with all replies, factual and informative. Everything that he promised from start to finish of the project were completed." - Carol Y., Google Review
Attention to Detail & Thoroughness
If you're particular about craftsmanship and the details matter to you, JBG's preparation and execution stand out. Over 90% of their reviews mention specific project details, and "attention to detail" appears in over a dozen reviews (Source: Chooz Score - Key Phrase Extraction 3.0/3.0, Project Details Present 3.5/3.5). What customers notice most:
"They prepped the area better than an operating room. I couldn't recommend them enough." - Joseph D., Google Review
Reliability & Punctuality
If you're a busy professional or family on a tight schedule, their track record on timing is remarkable. Reviews consistently highlight on-time starts and on-schedule completion, with over 15 mentions of punctuality across customer feedback (Source: Chooz Score - Key Phrase Extraction 3.0/3.0, Recent Activity Weighting 4.0/4.0). Customers report:
"They show on time, finish on time, and clean up before they leave. The owner checks after to make sure you're happy. Unqualified recommendation." - Stephen L., Google Review
Proven Local Track Record
If you want a company with a solid reputation backed by real results, JBG Services has built an exceptional portfolio in southeastern North Carolina. With over 70 Google reviews at a perfect 5.0-star rating and nearly 20 Facebook recommendations, their reputation speaks through consistent delivery (Source: Google Reviews, Facebook Reviews, Chooz Score - Review Volume 4.0/4.0):
"JBG is by far the best I've ever worked with. I've hired a lot of painters over the years." - Colin O., Google Review
Licensing verification
JBG Services states they are bonded and insured on their website and Facebook page, but their North Carolina contractor license status could not be verified through the state licensing board database (Source: Chooz Score - Licensed Status 1.2/1.5). This is common for painting companies, but worth confirming for larger projects. Ask them directly: "Can you provide your NC contractor license number and proof of current insurance coverage?"
"You can fully trust them, as their expertise is unmatched and they only staff W-2 employees." - Zach S., Google Review
At the time of our analysis, Aztec Painting Inc. held over 150 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 5.0 stars on Yelp and 100% recommended on Facebook across over 15 reviews. The Google profile carries by far the largest sample, and the Yelp and Facebook ratings sit at the same level across much smaller review counts.
The company earned a Chooz Score of 87.9%. It has operated in Wilmington for more than 20 years, is Accredited with the Better Business Bureau, and is registered in North Carolina as Business Entity No. 0759425. Aztec Painting Inc. is family owned and serves Wilmington and the surrounding coastal communities.
Across the reviews we analyzed, all but one carry five stars, and the single four-star rating is a positive account from a repeat customer. Individual crew members are named again and again, with Faustino, Sergio, and Saul recurring across the reviews we analyzed, a pattern consistent with an in-house crew rather than rotating subcontractors. Exterior painting is the project type mentioned most often, followed by interior work and garage and patio floor coatings. Prep and cleanup come up repeatedly, with reviewers describing covered furniture, protected floors, and sites left clean at the end of each day. Several reviewers note quotes delivered within a day or two of the first call. Repeat and multi-year hiring stands out as well, with at least a dozen reviewers describing second, third, or long-standing engagements, including one who cites six completed jobs. The owner responds to most reviews individually rather than with a single template, and none of the reviews we analyzed fell below four stars or contained a substantive complaint.
"They were very professional & reliable, providing excellent attention to detail. Sergio and Faustino along with the rest of the team are awesome. Highly recommend them. I will use Aztec in the future for all my painting needs." - Nancy G., Google Review

At the time of our analysis, Freedom Painting carried a Chooz Score of 86.4%. The family-owned company has been in business for about two years, has been Accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2025, and is registered under NC Business Entity No. 2701869. It is owned and operated by Byron and Dawn Bailey and serves Wilmington along with Leland, Hampstead, and the nearby coastal communities.
Across its review profiles, the company held over 60 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, along with 5.0-star ratings on Yelp and Angi and 100% recommended on Facebook across 6 reviews. The ratings read uniformly across every platform where the company has reviews, though the counts outside Google are small.
The reviews we analyzed point to an owner-led operation. Byron is named in dozens of the reviews we read, described as handling estimates personally, guiding color selection, and staying involved once the crew is on site. Color guidance is a recurring theme, with owners Byron and Dawn and an outside design consultant helping homeowners settle on palettes before the work begins. Reviewers name the field crew individually, with Carlos leading and painters such as Teo, Freddy, and Ninel recurring, consistent with an in-house crew rather than rotating subcontractors. The owner replies to most of the reviews we analyzed, addressing customers by name and referencing their specific project, and much of the company’s work is described as coming through neighbor referrals. The projects run from interior repaints and kitchen cabinets to full exteriors, with a few commercial and light carpentry jobs, and none of the reviews we analyzed fell below five stars.
"Freedom Painting did a beautiful job! The crew was clean and neat and finished the job on time. The owners, Dawn and Byron were awesome! Thank you Dawn for your great color ideas, we love it! Highly recommend Freedom Painting and will definitely hire them for our next paint project!" - Diane D., Google Review

At the time we analyzed CertaPro Painters of Wilmington, NC, the company held over 100 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 100% recommended on Facebook across six reviews and 1.6 stars on Yelp across seven reviews. The Google rating sits near the top of the scale across a triple-digit review count, while the low Yelp figure comes from only a handful of ratings.
The company earned a Chooz Score of 85.6%. It is an independently woman-owned and operated CertaPro location, led by owner Barbie Dorsey since 2019, and it paints homes and businesses across Wilmington and the Cape Fear coast, from Wrightsville Beach to Leland, Southport, and Ocean Isle Beach.
The reviews we analyzed describe interior and exterior repaints along with cabinet, door, and trim work, drywall repair, and popcorn ceiling removal. The owner, Barbie, along with the estimator Jesus and the crew leads Martin and Rafael, is named across many of the reviews we analyzed, which points to continuity of team from the written estimate through the finished work. The owner replies to reviews consistently, and owner responses appear on well over forty of the Google reviews we analyzed. Repeat and referral work is common, and we found at least nine reviewers describing a second or third project with the same team. The handful of reviews below five stars concern arrival timing rather than the quality of the work, and the owner responded to those directly.
"We contacted CertaPro Painters of Wilmington to paint the entire house interior. Jesus Montoya, sales consultant provided us a fair price and included a discount as repeat customers. Only a few days later, the team showed up and got to work. Five days later, they had completed a beautiful job." - Christopher A., Google Review
