Why Customers Choose Straight Line Painting LLC

The Boss Shows Up

Owner Efren Calderon Jr. learned the painting trade from his father, a professional painter whose perfectionist standards shaped how this company operates today. The Chooz Score's owner engagement indicators are strong: Efren is mentioned by name in the majority of reviews and personally conducts color consultations:

• Nico Gonzalez notes "Efren himself showed up to check on my house" during his exterior repaint
• Hope Sam, Shannon Medrano, and Mike Brinton all describe Efren helping them choose colors personally

"If I could give more than five stars I would. Efren was always on time. At the final walk through, as my wife was gushing about how great everything looked, I asked him if he charged us enough. He said just pay the invoice." - Greg Z., Google Review

Questions to Ask Mikes Pro Paint

Complex drywall and texturing projects

One reviewer documented quality issues on complex drywall and texturing work, noting problems with uneven texturing and paint consistency on projects requiring extensive prep. The company came back and fixed issues at no charge, but the reviewer noted it "should be done correctly the first time." If your project involves significant drywall repair or custom texturing, ask directly: "What's your process for quality checks on complex texture and drywall work before the final walkthrough?"

"Anywhere the job was NOT simple, the result was not acceptable. The first time this happened with MPP, I had them come back later and fix up the work. They did so without argument and for free." - Tyler S., Google Review (no owner reply)
