If you're looking for a painter you can call for years to come, this company has built serious loyalty. High marks on the Chooz Score's customer retention indicators: reviewers consistently mention returning for multiple projects over 5, 10, even decades:
"As a homeowner for decades I've had a lot of experience with painters. Rainer is simply the best. You will never call another painter once they've worked for you." - Sharon F., Google Review
The last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, Rainer Painting Company had over 90 Google reviews with a 4.6-star rating. This company earned a Chooz Score of 82.0%. With 38 years in business, accredited by the BBB since 1989, they've built deep roots in South and Central Jersey:
"Joe and his team did an incredible job painting the inside of our new but very old house! The team also renovated an old powder room into a gorgeous laundry/half bathroom. We are so impressed with their work." - Erin L., Google Review
Joe Rainer personally visits homes to assess spaces and present paint options tailored to existing fixtures and lighting. His color consultation skills draw particular praise from customers who felt stuck on color choices:
"Joe at Rainer Painting Co. is a master of color consultation! His keen eye and true craftsmanship have completely transformed our space into a place we enjoy cooking and eating in." - Devon M., Google Review
Two detailed reviews cited concerns about rushed prep work and missed spots. The company responded professionally to one, offering to resolve the issues and acknowledging the work "was not up to par with our standards." Before your project begins, ask directly: "Can you walk me through your prep work process and how you handle quality checks before the final walkthrough?"
"Very disappointed in the Lack of prep work and how the painters cut in. They missed tons of holes on the wall that I clearly circled." - Nick R., Google Review (no owner reply)
