Crews like John, KK, Courtney, Zack, Matt, Bill, and Cody get called out by name across dozens of reviews, and that kind of consistency doesn't happen by accident. The Chooz Score's in-house crews component shows the same crew names appearing across multiple reviews, confirming these are dedicated teams, not random subcontractors:
"KK and Courtney arrived promptly each day with a clear plan and strategy, which they executed with precision. They remained flexible and responsive to our last-minute questions and requests." - Gary M., Google Review
The last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, Joseph Rivers Painting had over 300 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating. This company earned a Chooz Score of 90.9%. With over 12 years in business and consistent ratings across platforms, their reputation in the Central New York area speaks for itself:
"Several years ago I watched this company paint a house near our own. I was impressed by their work ethic, cleanliness and thoroughness. I asked for their card knowing when it was time for us to paint, we would be calling them. We are overwhelmed with the job they did." - Phil M., Google Review
Projects consistently finish with the kind of precision that customers notice and photograph. Whether it's a single-room refresh or an 1850s Victorian restoration requiring lead-safe protocols, the attention to prep work and finish quality comes through in review after review:
"I highly recommend Joseph Rivers Painting. They painted the entire exterior of our large wood-sided house, including lots of complicated trim work. All of the work was high quality and the crew was courteous and conscientious. The pricing was fair and transparent and the job started and finished on time." - Jeffrey C., Google Review
One reviewer raised concerns about pricing transparency after receiving a quote, describing the interaction as frustrating. While the overwhelming majority of reviews praise fair and reasonable pricing, it's worth having a clear conversation upfront. Ask them directly: "Can you walk me through exactly what's included in the quote, and what's your process if I have questions about the pricing?"
"When I called to question his quote he became very rude then hung up the phone. His markup is ridiculously high thousands of dollars over other cost to do the same job." - Tim M., Google Review

The Chooz Score's review authenticity indicators are strong: reviewers mention specific project details, crew members by name, and realistic timelines. Their proprietary 40-step cabinet refinishing process, completed in a dedicated 2,500 square foot paint shop, reflects a level of specialization rarely seen in a local painting company:

Crews like Corbin, Jake, Erin, Nate, and Mariah get called out by name across dozens of reviews, and that kind of consistency doesn't happen with revolving subcontractors. The Chooz Score's in-house crews component shows consistency: the same crew names appear across multiple reviews spanning months and even years:
"From the color consultant (Mercedes) to the painters (Cory and Matt), everyone was professional, had great attention to detail." - Sue M., Google Review
