Chooz Score Insights
At the time of our analysis, Recinos Painting carried a Chooz Score of 83.7%. The company has operated as an Apex-based painting company for more than 13 years, has been Accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2025, and is registered in North Carolina as Business Entity No. 2176985. It is owner-led by Carlos and serves Apex, Cary, Raleigh, Durham, and the surrounding Triangle communities.
Across its review profiles, the company held nearly 40 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating. That volume sits entirely on Google, with no Yelp, Angi, or Facebook profile carrying reviews, so the rating is uniform but drawn from a single source.
Repeat business runs through the reviews, with several customers describing multiple projects with Carlos and his crew, including one reviewer on a fourth job. Punctuality, daily cleanup, and careful prep recur independently across the reviews we analyzed, named by customers describing very different work. The same owner-led crew is described handling carpentry, drywall, and prep alongside the painting, which points to a directly employed team rather than rotating trades. We found at least three reviewers documenting completed repeat work, and none of the reviews we analyzed carried a rating below five stars.
"I highly recommend Carlos. I have used his services many times and he is always responsive. His quotes are great and his crew is always on time, very thorough, respectful and polite. They do quality work each and every time. I wouldn’t think of using anyone else when it comes to painting or staining." - Melissa B., Google Review
Advice For Future Customers
Reviewers repeatedly describe the same crew handling more than paint, including drywall and crown-molding repair, popcorn-ceiling and wallpaper removal, carpentry, and staining, and several note small extras like rehanging a door or replacing a bulb at no charge. If you have prep or minor repair work, it is worth asking whether they can fold it into the painting scope. Because repeat customers describe returning to Carlos and the same crew across several projects, it is also worth requesting that team directly if crew continuity matters to you.

Additional Questions Answered
What interior painting work does Recinos Painting handle inside a whole house?
Full interiors get painted room by room, walls, ceilings, trim, doors and stairwells included. Theresa Pinson wrote that "Recinos Painting painted the whole interior of our house" and that the job finished before the promised completion date. Emily Gomez had a three story townhouse handled and said the team "did a phenomenal job fixing a previous job that wasn’t done well" before refreshing the rest of the home.
How does Recinos Painting protect furniture and floors while a crew works?
Everything gets covered before painting starts, and the room is put back in order daily. Ronald Castiglia counted a crew of four who spent the first hour and a half on prep and "Covered all floors, furniture, light switches etc". Brittany Meadows Louden said furniture was moved or covered properly and that "They took care of our house as they worked" through the whole project.
Does Recinos Painting remove popcorn ceilings and wallpaper before painting a room?
Yes, both come off as part of the job rather than being left to another trade. John and Judi Harper described the crew "removing wallpaper, painting and removing popcorn ceiling in our bathroom and bedroom" in one visit. Lisa Wilcox said the team "removed the popcorn ceiling from our master bathroom and bedroom in two days" and cleaned up everything once the work was finished.
How well does Recinos Painting keep to a promised schedule on projects?
Start dates and finish dates hold, and crews show up when they say they will. Charles Crampton wrote that "The team arrived on time every day" and stayed professional throughout. Stephen Blasdell had repairs and popcorn removal done and noted the crew "Worked on the weekend to complete the job". Several other projects wrapped a day or more ahead of the date given.
What does Recinos Painting do with kitchen cabinets that look worn out?
Cabinets are sanded and refinished in place instead of being replaced. Kanoko Maeda said the crew "sanded and re-painted my original kitchen cabinets, which were in rough shape" across a few days and left them looking new. George Blanco was "extremly pleased with the results of my painted cabinets" and singled out the attention to detail the crew brought to the work.
Does Recinos Painting handle exterior staining for decks, fences and front porches?
Yes, outdoor wood is stained and sealed, and damaged pieces get rebuilt first where needed. Maryellen Furman described the crew "re-building our front porch steps, posts and railings with staining and painting afterward". Michael Potter simply "Had them come and stain my fence" and reported the crew arrived on time, kept the site clean and answered his feedback quickly.
Are the painters on a Recinos Painting job the company's own crew?
The work is done by the company crew, with the owner setting the standard. Edward Roche Jr wrote that "The owner Carlos has high expectations of his crew and will only hire the best" after several projects at his home. Liz Zayed named the crew member who painted her living room and said "Jamaica, who handled the job, went above and beyond".
What repair work does Recinos Painting complete before any paint goes on?
Surface repairs happen first, covering nail holes, drywall damage, trim and rotted or loose woodwork. Casey Patterson said the crew "filled all nail holes and did minor drywall, crown molding, and baseboard repairs" before starting to paint. Julianne Turak described the same group as "skilled carpenters as well as painters", which is how repair and finish work stay with one crew.
