When Huntsville historic district homeowner Melissa Wilson needed her entire 1500 square foot home painted in a single day, Five Star Painting of Huntsville arrived with a crew of five at 7 AM sharp. By 4:30 PM, prep and painting were complete. Wilson pulled into her driveway that evening to find neighbors stopping to stare at the transformation, later writing that she "couldn't be happier" with the results.

Carlos Berrios serves as project manager and appears in dozens of reviews by name. Customers describe him as the consistent presence on job sites who ensures quality control. Linda Harris noted that Carlos and his team "treated us like family" while Brandy Hudgins appreciated that Carlos "came by the day after the job to make sure everything looked good." His on-site presence during projects and post-completion walk-throughs create accountability customers value.

Oscar Villalobos conducts initial consultations and provides detailed written estimates. Dionne Gonzalez described receiving "a very reasonable quote" for her project, with Carlos promptly contacting her the morning of the job. David Patrick noted the estimate process was thorough, explaining that "the extra accountability with the salesperson (Amado), project manager (Carlos), and the BBB rating" justified the investment.

The most detailed negative review came from Betsy Gifford, who experienced scheduling and communication breakdowns on a deck project. She described crews arriving late without proper equipment and lack of updates from the project manager. Owner Amado Cano "agreed to walk away from the job" when resolution proved impossible. A separate complaint from Jimmy Adkins about peeling ceiling work 18 months later received no owner response. The pattern suggests communication gaps rather than craftsmanship issues.
