The company earned a Chooz Score of 81.8%. Paz Painting is family-owned and led by Narciso Paz, and it has been Accredited with the Better Business Bureau since 2019. It is a registered North Carolina business under Entity No. 1064619, and its crews work for homeowners as well as homeowners associations and property managers across Durham, Chapel Hill, and the greater Triangle.
Across the reviews we analyzed, repeat business stands out. We found at least ten reviewers describing a second project or a firm intent to return, among them homeowners associations and property managers who bring the same crew back for community work. Reviewers frequently name the owner Narciso Paz and a consistent crew, one member noted as having more than 25 years of experience, and the jobs span interior repaints, exteriors, siding, cabinets, and decks. The recurring criticisms concern finish details and post-job cleanup, which we cover below.
"This is the second time we have used Paz painting for the exterior of our house... Narciso is patient and answered our questions and provided thorough estimates. We will certainly use Paz painting again and have already spoken with him for some interior painting a little later on." - Karen C., Google Review
Advice For Future Customers
Most reviews are strongly positive, but a small number describe finish problems and debris left behind, including windows painted shut and sharp material left on site, and these critical reviews were not answered publicly. If you hire the company, it is worth agreeing up front on a final walkthrough before you release payment. Ask them directly: "Before I make the final payment, can we walk the finished job together so anything unfinished or left behind gets corrected first?"
"Painted our windows shut around thanksgiving and still have not fixed them (in February). Horrible experience, plus they leave trash everywhere." - Josh D., Google Review (no owner reply)
