Chooz Score Insights
When we ran our analysis, TL Painting held over 70 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 5.0 stars on Yelp and 100% recommended on Facebook. A 4.9-star average across more than 70 Google reviews carries nearly all of that volume, with the Yelp and Facebook pages too small to weigh heavily either way.
The company earned a Chooz Score of 88.8%. TL Painting is a family-owned business that has operated in the Joliet and Shorewood area since 2015, led by owner Tyler Libersher and a skilled in-house crew that handles cabinet refinishing in its own shop. It is a registered Illinois business entity, No. 09393102, and serves the communities within about a 45-minute radius of Joliet.
Thorough prep is the quality reviewers describe most, with crews taping rooms, covering floors and furniture, and sanding and priming before any color goes on, then cleaning the site before leaving. Punctual scheduling and steady communication, usually straight from owner Tyler Libersher, are the other themes that recur across the reviews we analyzed. Cabinet refinishing is the work this crew is asked for most after general interior painting, with reviewers describing worn oak doors sprayed in the company shop to a factory-smooth finish. We found at least twelve reviewers describing repeat or ongoing projects.
"Tyler and his crew did excellent work throughout the house. Every room was taped, covered and prepared before painting. They use a very good quality paint. Their employees work very efficiently. We also had our cabinets painted and they came out wonderfully. We had great input from their interior designer for the color selection which helped tremendously." - Tom S., Google Review
Advice For Future Customers
If you are not sure about colors, it is worth asking about the in-house color consultation before you commit, since several reviewers describe an interior designer walking them through options room by room and crediting that help with their final choice. Because reviewers mention the company standing behind its work and returning to fix small imperfections but no formal warranty terms are published, it is also worth asking to have the workmanship warranty and what it covers put in writing before the job starts.

Additional Questions Answered
What does TL Painting do when refinishing kitchen and bathroom cabinets?
Refinishing starts with a full strip down of grease and old finish, then sanding, priming, and spraying for a smooth, durable coat. Doors and drawer fronts head to the company shop, where Dawn Bonner watched the crew handle "chemical cleaning, sanding, priming, more sanding". Cynthia Pauer noted Tyler did "a fabulous job matching both the color and sheen of the existing cabinets", so the finish looks factory made.
How does TL Painting protect a home during a painting project?
Protection comes first, before any paint opens. The crew covers floors and furniture and keeps the work area contained from start to finish. William Beranek said the team "Protected the floors and covered everything", and Phyllis Chatlos added they were "so neat and they cleaned everything before they left". Megan Baker described a crew that "left the home very clean and respectful the entire process".
How does TL Painting keep homeowners informed throughout the job?
Communication runs through the whole project, usually straight from Tyler. Homeowners hear the plan up front and get quick answers as work moves along. Dan W. said Tyler "kept me informed on each phase of work and how it was scheduled". Patti Austermuehle noted the team "responded quickly to text messages, and showed up on time", and Diane Degrado found them "very quick to respond" when questions came up.
Is TL Painting known for showing up and finishing work on time?
Yes, punctuality is one of the most repeated notes from past clients. The crew arrives when promised and keeps the schedule tight through completion. Kristin Przespolewski said they "showed up on time every day and kept everything spotless". Stacy Cambron summed up the crew as "timely, efficient and polite as can be", which is the pace homeowners see from the first day forward.
What kind of interior painting projects does TL Painting handle?
Interior work spans single rooms to whole-home refreshes, including walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. Every surface gets prepped before color goes on. Tom Stockenberg recalled, "Every room was taped, covered and prepared before painting". Cynthia Tivador said the crew "took great care in prepping and protecting the areas to be painted", and Abigail Brown reported a team that "worked quickly and did outstanding work" across her house.
Does TL Painting handle drywall repair along with painting work?
Yes, drywall repair is part of the same visit, so cracks and holes get fixed before painting. The crew mudds, tapes, and sands until the wall reads flat. D Walden, from a construction background, praised the "top quality work form drywall repairs mudding and taping seams to painting". Kevin Dorenkamper said "The numerous holes in the walls and poor taping have been expertly repaired" after buying an older home.
Can TL Painting help homeowners choose paint colors for a room?
Yes, color help is built into the process for anyone stuck on a shade. Tyler brings in an in-house designer to walk through options room by room. Mike O'Neill said "Tyler set us up with an interior decorator named Gail" when he could not decide. Tom Stockenberg had "great input from their interior designer for the color selection", which took the guesswork out of the final choice.
Why do so many Joliet homeowners hire TL Painting again?
Repeat business comes from trust built one project at a time. Clients point to steady quality, honest pricing, and a crew that stands behind its work. Samantha Tyler said they are "the only people I trust to do work on my house". Maka Homes noted the team "kept on schedule, come back for minor repairs when needed", and Jacob Newman had them "done work for me on 2 separate occasions".
