Chooz Score Insights
Owner on the Job
Owner Jean doesn't just run the company, he's personally involved in every project. The Chooz Score's owner engagement indicators are strong: Jean is mentioned by name in the majority of reviews and actively responds to feedback. This hands-on approach sets Big J apart:
- Jean personally provides estimates, oversees projects, and works alongside his crew
- When small issues arise, Jean returns promptly to make things right at no extra charge
"Let me start my 5 star rating by saying I'm old school and I believe a man is only as good as his word and a hand shake is your bond. Jean is of the same mindset. He does what he says and stands behind it." - Kevin T., Google Review

Additional Questions Answered
Does Big J Painting LLC show up on time and stick to schedules?
Punctuality appears consistently across reviews. Customers describe crews arriving "on time every morning" and finishing "at the scheduled time." One reviewer noted the team "finished the job two days ahead of schedule." Jean communicates proactively about timing, and when weather delays occur on exterior projects, customers report regular updates until work resumes.
How does Big J Painting LLC handle cabinet refinishing projects?
Cabinet work represents a specialty for the company. Jean takes doors off-site to be professionally sprayed, sending progress photos throughout the process. One customer whose kitchen had dark-stained cabinets and avocado green walls reported the transformation "exceeded my expectations" and noted "everyone was kind, professional and always on time." Results consistently earn praise for smooth, factory-like finishes.
Is Big J Painting LLC competitively priced compared to other Lexington painters?
Multiple customers specifically mention obtaining quotes from several companies before selecting Big J. One reviewer stated they received "best prices I quoted" while another noted Jean's bid "was not the lowest I believe it was the best value." The combination of thorough prep work, multiple coats, and included repairs contributes to perceived value despite competitive rates.
Does owner Jean personally oversee Big J Painting LLC projects?
Jean maintains hands-on involvement rather than delegating entirely to crews. Reviews consistently mention he was "personally on the job every day" and "stopped by throughout the week to check on progress." He handles estimates himself, helps customers select colors, and conducts final walk-throughs pointing out any touch-ups needed before completion.
How does Big J Painting LLC handle prep work and surface repairs?
Thorough preparation distinguishes their approach. One customer noted Jean "put two coats or more of high quality paint on everything, did extensive prep work, caulked all the windows and cracks and even did some minor repairs." Another mentioned the crew "repair every single nail pop" and addressed "all the soffits that was damaged and rotten wood." Prep work comes standard rather than as add-on charges.

Several reviewers mention returning for additional projects. Leslie Tate noted this was her "second time using Big J Painting" for both interior and exterior work. Another customer hired them initially for entryway and hallway painting, then "had him come back and paint my kitchen." One reviewer used Jean for her own home after he painted her daughter's house, stating her picky mother "just loved him and his crew."
Does Big J Painting LLC work with tight deadlines and scheduling challenges?
The team demonstrates flexibility with customer schedules. One reviewer with a full-time job appreciated that "Big J worked with my schedule" for a ceiling repair project. Another customer facing a delayed siding job found Jean "flexible when our siding job was delayed due to COVID." When The Kneddy Bakery needed their commercial kitchen painted between orders, the team completed work so efficiently the owner praised their performance.
How thorough is Big J Painting LLC with cleanup and protecting belongings?
Customers consistently praise the crew's respect for property. One reviewer described them as "very courteous and respectful with our property and belongings" while another noted the team was "very neat with everything." After completing work, Jean "cleaned up the work areas" and the crew maintains organized job sites throughout projects. Furniture protection and daily cleanup appear standard.
