Chooz Score Insights
Nearly 200 Reviews Across the Metro East
Over 150 reviews on Google. More than 40 on Angi. The rating barely moves between them. The last time we ran our Chooz Score analysis, Premier Painting and Design held over 150 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating and 5.0 stars on Angi across more than 40 reviews, plus 100% recommended on Facebook. The company earned a Chooz Score of 84.4%.
The Chooz Score's cross-platform analysis found the same story wherever Premier turns up, which is harder than it sounds once the volume runs this high. Behind the numbers is an Illinois business on record since 2008, licensed and insured, and standing behind its work with a one-year workmanship warranty. Reviewers keep circling the same idea, that the quality doesn't slip from one job to the next.
"Rick and his team just finished painting our entire first floor, all trim and doors - over 2,000sqft in 5 days!" - Barbi D., Google Review
On Speed Dial
If you're the kind of homeowner who keeps a good painter on speed dial, you'll recognize Premier's regulars. People here don't hire Rick Jones once. They hire him for the interior, then the exterior, then the deck, then the next house. The Chooz Score's customer retention indicators sit near the top for exactly that reason, since reviewer after reviewer describes coming back for a second, third, or years-long run of projects.
The names pile up. One customer is on their third exterior repaint and says they'll always go to Premier. Another has trusted the company since 2006. A third calls them the only painters she keeps on speed dial after years of jobs. That's not marketing. That's a customer base that stopped shopping around.
"This is the third time we have had the exterior of our home painted and we will always go to Premier Painting for any future projects inside or outside." - Dave W., Google Review
Worth Every Penny
What sets Premier apart isn't the lowest price. Reviewers are refreshingly upfront that this isn't the cheapest crew in the Metro East, and just as upfront that they'd pay it again.
The phrase worth every penny turns up more than once, usually right after someone admits they had a cheaper quote in hand and chose Premier anyway. Estimates come in competitive, extra work gets a fair add-on price instead of a surprise, and reviewers describe the finish as the reason the money made sense.
"although Premier was not the cheapest option, I believe you get what you pay for." - Loren D., Google Review

Additional Questions Answered
What kind of interior painting does Premier Painting and Design handle for homes?
Interior rooms are the core of the work, from single spaces to whole floors including ceilings, trim, and doors. Angie Leonelli noted, "Rick and his crew did a great job painting the interior of our home." The crew preps each surface, protects belongings, and keeps rooms neat while the job moves through the house.
Does Premier Painting and Design paint exteriors and stain decks as well?
Yes. Exterior siding, trim, doors, and deck staining sit alongside the interior work on a regular basis. Jason Dreyer described "an outstanding job staining our deck" with careful detail. Erick added that the crew "cleaned our deck better than I ever could" before staining. Surfaces are scraped, cleaned, and prepped so the finish holds through Metro East weather.
How would customers describe the professionalism of Premier Painting and Design?
Professional is the word that shows up most across the reviews, tied to careful, detail-minded work. Molly Woodson wrote that the crew was "incredibly professional and the rooms and ceilings are immaculate." Roberta Harrison described the painter Andrew as "meticulous, professional, and always cheerful." The team treats each home with care from setup through cleanup.
Are the crews at Premier Painting and Design the same people each job?
Yes. Rick Jones leads a consistent in-house team, and reviewers name the same painters again and again. Dylan Koke credited "true Artisans Rick, David, and Eddie" for the work on his home. Stephanie M appreciated "the work of Dave and Ed" on her rooms. The same faces returning is part of why homeowners trust the crew inside their homes.
Does Premier Painting and Design stay on schedule and on budget?
Yes. Reviewers point to clear timelines and steady communication from the first estimate onward. On Angi, Dion B. reported that work was "completed with great results and efficiency." Tony Strauss added that the team "did an excellent job communicating timelines" Rick sets expectations up front and keeps homeowners posted as the job moves.
Do customers hire Premier Painting and Design more than once?
Often, yes. A good share of the reviews come from repeat clients and referrals built over years. Linda Ziolkowski wrote, "I have had several several jobs done by Premier Painting" Debbie Owen called them "the only painters who I have on speed dial." Rick walks each finished project and many homeowners call him back for the next one.
How does Premier Painting and Design treat a home during a project?
Carefully. The crew covers floors, moves furniture to protect it, and cleans up before leaving each day. Steve Gibson noted that "everything was left in perfect order" when the job wrapped. Tom Martin said the crew "moved the furniture back into place" at the end. Rick checks the finished rooms so nothing is left undone.
Can Premier Painting and Design handle cabinets, railings, and detailed finishes?
Yes. Cabinet refinishing, railings, ceilings, and intricate trim are all part of the work. CLT credited the crew with "transforming my living space" after sanding and repainting a detailed railing. Richard Zabawa called the group "true professionals" on a project covering ceilings, trim, and kitchen cabinets. Detailed prep is what makes those finishes hold up.
Is Premier Painting and Design a registered business in the state of Illinois?
Yes. Premier Painting and Design Inc. is a registered Illinois corporation, on file with the state under Business Entity Number 65960656. The company works out of Collinsville and serves the greater Metro East and St. Louis area. That registration stands behind the Premier Painting name homeowners see on every written proposal and finished project.
