The Mattituck, NY area sits at the heart of the North Fork, serving a mix of year-round residents, seasonal homeowners, and vacation property owners who often need a crew they can trust to work without them being present. The painting contractors earning top marks on Chooz Painters here share a consistent set of qualities: owner involvement, responsive communication, and crews that treat homes with real care from start to finish.
The last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, Chameleon Painting Inc. had over 170 Google reviews with a perfect 5.0-star rating. This company earned a Chooz Score of 86.8%. Owner Juan Guillermo Jaramillo has run this family operation for over 10 years, personally handling every estimate, visiting job sites daily, and sending photo updates to homeowners who can't be on-site during the work. That last detail carries real weight on the North Fork, where many clients are coordinating projects remotely. If you need a team you can hand a key and trust completely, Chameleon Painting Inc. is a strong fit.
A few patterns stand out when reading through the reviews. Several clients describe handing over a key and leaving for out-of-state trips, returning to find the job done perfectly. The crew works quietly with no music playing, which multiple reviewers note let them work from home without disruption during longer projects. Wallpaper installation, cedar shingle staining, deck work, and cabinet refinishing all appear alongside standard interior and exterior painting.
- Juan is frequently described as proactively sending photos and updates to clients who are away, keeping them informed without needing to ask
- Multiple reviews highlight thorough daily cleanup, leaving the home fully livable during multi-day jobs
- Projects range widely in scale - from a single porch to a 2,200-square-foot deck to a church hall that hadn't been painted in 40 years
"I bought my home in December and then went to Florida and left Juan to paint my whole house while I was gone. He kept me updated with pictures and reports. I came back to see a perfect job." - Ellen, Google Review
While Chameleon Painting Inc. is built around its family-run, owner-led approach, Todd's Painting has earned its following through a different kind of loyalty - customers who return year after year, some for over three decades. The last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, Todd's Painting had over 150 Google reviews with a perfect 5.0-star rating, with reviews also appearing on Yelp and Facebook. This company earned a Chooz Score of 86.5%. Customers describe Todd as bringing over 35 years of experience to every job, and the variety of work he handles reflects that depth - interior rooms, kitchen cabinet refinishing, power washing, deck staining, and commercial spaces. For homeowners who want a versatile contractor comfortable with both small detail work and larger exterior projects, Todd's Painting is a good fit.
Cabinet refinishing is a standout specialty. Todd's crew removes cabinet doors and drawer fronts, takes them to the shop for professional spray finishing, and reinstalls - customers describe results that look factory-fresh. Todd also brings a consultative style: at least one reviewer describes him recommending a color change before starting because the client's original choice was too bright, which the homeowner described as a genuine relief in hindsight.
- Crew member Dean is specifically praised for cabinet work, with customers describing thorough prep and high-quality spray results
- Multiple reviews mention Todd returning without hesitation for small touch-ups after job completion
- Power washing for pavers, pool decks, and fences is frequently mentioned alongside painting work
"Todd came on time to paint a room for my son. The color my son picked was too bright and Todd recommended to change it which I was so grateful for. The room came out perfect and we all were happy!!" - Karen F., Google Review

If you want clear project management structure and named points of contact throughout a larger job, Precision Painting Plus of Suffolk County is a good fit.
A field manager visits before painting day to confirm colors and plan prep - not a detail most companies bother with.

"The field manager came to the house days before to receive the shades of colors that were to be used. All the paint was ordered true to the required colors. The painters arrived at the time scheduled and the job was completed before expected." - CarolJean C., Google Review
Rounding out the top contractors serving Mattituck, NY, Long Island Painting and Restoration holds a record that is hard to argue with - every single one of their over 55 Google reviews carries a five-star rating. This company earned a Chooz Score of 84.2%. Owner Andres Gallego handles each estimate personally, often spending extended time on a room-by-room walkthrough and offering a color consultation before work begins. With over 6 years in business serving Nassau and Suffolk counties, growth has been driven almost entirely by referrals. For new homeowners needing a fast, thorough refresh or repeat clients who need reliable crews on a tight timeline, Long Island Painting and Restoration is worth a call.
Speed without shortcuts is a recurring theme in reviews. A six-person crew has wrapped full whole-home interiors in a single day; a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home was finished in under 48 hours.
