Questions to Ask Carfagno Professional Painting LLC

Confirming scheduling and communication expectations

While the vast majority of reviews praise punctuality and communication, one detailed review mentioned a missed appointment without notification and concerns about workmanship. This appears to be an isolated incident given the overall 4.9-star rating across 140+ reviews, but it's worth confirming expectations upfront. Ask directly: "What's your process for confirming appointments and communicating any schedule changes?"

"More importantly Joe never showed up for an appointment I had scheduled with him nor did I receive a courtesy call or text informing me he could not make it." - Reviewer, Birdeye Review (no owner reply)

Why Customers Choose ProEdge Painting

Crews You Can Trust

What sets ProEdge apart is the consistency of their team. The same crew members appear across multiple reviews, with Kevin, Donnie, Christian, and owner Chris personally present on jobs.

The Details Matter Here

Reviews reveal extensive prep work before painting begins. Customers describe the team fixing holes, dents, moldings, and previous bad taping without being asked. The Chooz Score's review authenticity indicators show consistent mentions of meticulous preparation:

• Perfectionist customers consistently report the team meeting or exceeding their high standards
