T&Z Interior And Exterior Painting
Chooz Score Insights
At the time we analyzed T&Z Interior And Exterior Painting, the company held a Chooz Score of 87.5%. An owner reply appears under every one of the reviews we analyzed. The company has painted in the western Chicago suburbs for over 15 years, has been Accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2021, and is registered in Illinois as IL Business Entity No. 71083918. Owner Tomasz, known to most customers as Tom, runs the crew out of Lombard alongside Ziggy and takes on both homes and commercial spaces.
Across its review profiles, the company held over 85 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, along with 100% recommended on Facebook across over 55 reviews and 4.7 stars on Yelp across over 30 reviews. A 5.0 Google average paired with a 100% Facebook recommendation rate is uncommon at this volume, and Yelp is the one profile that runs a little lower.
Repeat hiring is the clearest pattern, and we found at least six reviewers describing a second or third project, including one who booked three in a single year. Tom, the owner, is named throughout, handling estimates himself and painting on site with Ziggy. Punctuality and daily cleanup are the habits reviewers mention next. Customers who have hired the company more than once describe the same owner and the same crew each time. The single four-star rating in our sample carries only positive text, and none of the reviews we analyzed contained a complaint.
"This is the second time we have had T&Z Painting and Decorating, Inc. paint rooms in our home. We cannot say enough positive things about Tom and Ziggy. Their workmanship is flawless, and they are wonderful to deal with." - Patty C., Google Review

Walk the job with him at the end and point out anything that bothers you rather than waiting.
