Homeowners in West Islip, NY searching for a reliable painter have a strong field of options across Nassau and Suffolk County. The contractors listed below earned the highest Chooz Scores in our analysis - a rating built on review consistency, platform presence, and overall customer satisfaction. From first-time paint jobs to multi-room renovations and specialty work, these crews have earned their reputations one project at a time.
The last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, Teall Painting had over 75 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating and 5.0 stars on Yelp. They earned a Chooz Score of 87.6%. Owner Charlie Teall runs a crew of named painters - Victor, Renee, Thomas, Gavin, and Douglas among them - who appear by name across reviews from completely different customers on separate projects, suggesting a stable team rather than rotating subcontractors. The company holds Nassau County Home Improvement Contractor License No. 204692 and backs all work with a 2-year Iron-Clad Warranty. If you are a homeowner looking for a painter with experience on non-standard projects - stucco exteriors, cabinet refinishing, commercial spaces, or specialty door restoration - Teall Painting is a strong choice.
Multiple customers describe Charlie working with tight timelines when another contractor fell through. At least one business owner had a full salon painted with the same attention given to residential work. The estimate process is thorough, with scope confirmed again before any crew arrives on site.
- Customers describe receiving detailed, itemized estimates before work begins - confirmed again before crews start.
- The company takes on non-standard work that other painters skip: a mahogany front door that two prior contractors could not restore was handled in a single day.
- Commercial clients describe the same careful approach as residential homeowners, including a salon owner who called the finished results stunning.
"Teall Painting is absolutely the best! They recently completed work at my business, and I couldn't be more impressed. Their professionalism, organization, and customer service are second to none." - Joe Reale, Google Review
