Homeowners in Shirley, NY have access to a strong lineup of painting contractors serving Suffolk County, many of whom have built loyal followings through consistent work across a wide range of interior and exterior projects. Reviews for the top-rated companies on Chooz Painters highlight several shared strengths: reliable scheduling, thorough prep, and crews that treat customers' homes with care from start to finish.
The last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, Big Expert Painting LLC had over 130 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, earning a Chooz Score of 87.0%. Owner Denis Erazo runs a versatile operation - customers hire him not just for interior and exterior painting, but for sheetrock repair, crown molding installation, power washing, pool painting, and kitchen cabinet refinishing. Several reviewers describe the scope of their project expanding after seeing the crew's first-day work up close.
What shows up repeatedly in the reviews is a standard of cleanliness that goes beyond the job itself. One reviewer noted that Denis swept up leaves his crew had tracked in, a detail they found genuinely rare. Others describe furniture and personal items covered carefully before any work begins and jobs finishing a full day ahead of the original estimate. If you're looking for a painting contractor who can handle multiple home improvement tasks in a single visit, Big Expert Painting LLC is a solid choice.
- Customers describe projects ranging from basement overhauls and crown molding to pool painting and kitchen cabinet resurfacing - Denis works well beyond standard paint alone.
- Multiple reviewers note that the final cost matched the estimate exactly, and several mention that Denis completed small extras at no additional charge.
- The company holds a Suffolk County Home Improvement License (No. HI-68388) and an EPA RRP Lead-Safe Certification for work on pre-1978 homes.
"The work by Dennis was wonderful. Very professional. The price was fair. And I couldn't believe how fast everything was done. Not only that but he swept up the leaves he tracked in. Who does that now a days? No one." - Stafi T., Google Review
For homeowners looking to update their kitchen without a full renovation, Todd's Painting has built a strong reputation specifically for cabinet spray painting - a specialty called out by name in dozens of reviews. This company earned a Chooz Score of 86.5%, and the last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, they had over 150 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating across Google, Facebook, and Yelp.
Beyond cabinets, Todd works across a full range of exterior and interior projects, from staining decks and power washing pavers to painting homes with 17-foot cathedral ceilings. A recurring pattern in the reviews is that customers who hire Todd once rarely look elsewhere again. He also earns credit for going back to fix details after a job wraps - reviewers specifically praise this follow-through as a sign of genuine accountability. If you want a reliable painter who handles callbacks without pushback, Todd's Painting is a good fit.
- Cabinet spray painting is a highlighted specialty, with customers describing results that look like factory-new finishes on laminate and older cabinet doors.
- Todd is frequently described as available by call or text, often responding to same-day inquiries and willing to adjust schedules for customers in a bind.
- Several reviewers note that Todd offers proactive color advice, steering customers away from choices that won't read well once applied - and they thank him for it afterward.
"I had Todd's crew come and paint the stairs and moldings in my home. They were excellent, neat and professional. I had a slight problem with one of the moldings. I called Todd and the next day he sent someone to fix. Great painting is one thing but exceptional follow-through is the real sign of a quality company." - Eileen C., Google Review
A more structured operation than most, Precision Painting Plus of Suffolk County manages projects through dedicated project managers - reviewers mention Chris, Jason, David, and Matt by name - who coordinate work and serve as points of contact from estimate through completion. This company earned a Chooz Score of 84.5%, and at the time of our analysis, they had over 180 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating. They hold a Better Business Bureau accreditation (since 2015) and are a Bethpage Best of Long Island honoree.
The company handles large-scale work - whole-home interior repaints, commercial painting, and extensive exterior jobs with significant prep. Reviewers who have used them more than once describe a consistent and organized process: a contractual document before work begins, colors coordinated ahead of the start date, and crews that arrive knowing exactly what they're doing. If you're managing a bigger project or want a more formally managed experience, Precision Painting Plus of Suffolk County is a good fit.
- Reviewers describe the company taking on commercial work, HOA painting, and multi-day whole-home jobs alongside standard residential interior and exterior painting.
- The project manager model gives customers a single named contact responsible for quality - rather than dealing with rotating crews without a clear point of accountability.
- Multiple reviewers describe returning for second and third projects, with referral chains appearing frequently as family members and neighbors book based on personal recommendations.
"Precision Painting Plus was responsible for painting and wallpapering my entire apartment. The team was at all times neat and professional, and the job was performed on time and within budget." - Lawrence D., Google Review
Speed is one of Long Island Painting and Restoration's most consistent selling points. Owner Andres Gallego runs a crew model that scales up for larger jobs - one reviewer describes six workers completing an entire whole-home paint job in a single day. This company earned a Chooz Score of 84.2% and had over 55 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating at the time of our analysis, built almost entirely through word-of-mouth referrals over more than 6 years in business.
Beyond painting, the company handles popcorn ceiling removal, multiple layers of old wallpaper, wood rot restoration, and whole-house exterior work. Andres personally handles estimates and is described as thorough, easy to reach, and willing to offer honest color recommendations rather than just agreeing with the customer's first choice. If you're on a tight timeline or dealing with a more involved prep situation, Long Island Painting and Restoration is worth a call.
- Multiple customers describe projects finishing a full day ahead of the original estimate - ahead-of-schedule delivery is a consistent pattern across the reviews.
- Crew members Nelson and Delmer get named specifically for their prep and drywall work, which customers credit as the reason the final paint finish looks as clean as it does.
- The company has taken on restoration work beyond standard painting, including brick repair, skim coating, and exterior work on homes close to 100 years old.
"Andres was easy to work with. When his crew came, there were six of them. They took care of everything from the set up to the painting to the cleanup. I am amazed that they were able to finish such a big job in just one day!" - Keri S., Google Review
With over 28 years in business, Anthony's Painting And Decorating, Corp carries the kind of track record built through decades of repeat work. This company earned a Chooz Score of 81.5%, and the last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, they had over 190 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating on Google, plus consistent marks across Yelp. The company holds a Suffolk County Home Improvement Contractor License and a Nassau County license, allowing them to work across both counties.
Foreman Manny is the name most often mentioned in the reviews. He earns specific praise for his prep process: covering furniture and floors before work begins, explaining the plan before each day starts, and flagging any wall conditions - like peeling tape joints or nail pop-outs - before starting rather than painting around them. Complex projects come up often: customers describe vaulted ceilings, lofts, stairs, home offices, and ornate moldings all handled without issue. If you're looking for a crew with a long track record and careful prep habits, Anthony's Painting And Decorating, Corp is worth considering.
- Multiple customers describe completing one job and immediately booking Manny for the next room or project while his crew is still on-site.
- The company's dual county licensing - Suffolk and Nassau - makes them an option for homeowners near the county line who want a single contractor for multiple properties.
- Reviewers highlight that the prep process is thorough enough that the crew vacuums surfaces and covers every item before starting, which customers credit with keeping cleanup quick when the job wraps.
"Manny and his crew are top notch painters. My project required significant prep work for peeling tape joints and nail pop outs that were a major concern for me. The crew painted my great room with vaulted ceilings, loft, stairs and home office. They did a wonderful job." - Sharon D., Google Review
