Our Chooz Score evaluates 44 factors across reviews, digital presence, and business credentials. Here's what stands out for Ukie Painting
Vitalii Skochenko and Andrii Spivak founded Ukie Painting around 2021, building over 350 five-star Google reviews through consistent execution. Andrii calls customers daily with updates. Christian provides quotes with no upselling. Carina leads teams that text morning confirmations before arrivals. Reviews mention covering floors with multiple layers of protection, sending daily progress photos, and conducting final walk-throughs where owners point out imperfections before customers notice.
When Laura Stanley needed porch ceiling, plaster repair, and kitchen cabinets completed, the company provided an assigned supervisor's cell number and circled back every day. When BJ Viau's large project revealed communication breakdowns, the response acknowledged shortcomings and promised internal review. The contrast shows capacity challenges during high-volume periods.
Projects range from cabinet refreshes to multi-week commercial transformations across Charlotte, Matthews, Mint Hill, Ballantyne, and Harrisburg. Customers mention Marlon's crew handling exterior trim with precision, Jesus being careful with furniture, Omar making houses look flawless. The Ukrainian immigrant owners take doors to their Wilgrove Mint Hill Road shop for proper refinishing. Fully licensed and insured, the company serves the Greater Charlotte area with a 100% guarantee on labor and materials.

Two three-star reviews out of well over 350 show a pattern. Linda Callahan described "lights hanging also that were ripped down and so tangled plus broken" with trim work incomplete. BJ Viau's large project felt "chaotic, sloppy and unorganized" with door handles "incorrectly re-installed, some not working anymore, most put on upside down." Both received professional responses offering to make things right, though the issues suggest growing pains on complex projects.

Janice Weigl specifically noted the owners as "former residents of the Ukraine" who "performed an outstanding job for us. Very detailed, very precise, very fair. Absolutely professional." The detail-oriented approach she described aligns with what other customers consistently mention. Marina Semenchuk praised their "attention to detail and respectful attitude" while noting they "worked quietly and efficiently, which was especially important for our family with young kids at home."

This stands out as a specialty. Betsy K described how "They helped me in so many ways with design, paint and ideas to make my project more complete." Casey Celli stated directly that "Ukie made our old cabinets look like they came straight from the factory. Truly stunning work." The company takes doors off-site to their shop for proper sanding and preparation rather than painting over existing problems.

Experiences diverge here. Rob Brown praised how "Ryan came in a quoted exactly what we wanted with no upselling." Sarah Walko noted they were "slightly higher" than other quotes but provided "reasonable cost" with quality work. However, BJ Viau reported being told they would "need to apply 3 coats of paint and charge us an extra ($/sq/ft)" for painting light grey to white, caught only because the contract specified otherwise.

Wayne Carter's garage floor turned out "absolutely amazing" with full fleck epoxy coating. David Angel called the work "outstanding" and noted "Everything was clearly explained, and the work was completed on time." Mark Beyder described the garage floor refinishing with "best material, best quality, best price." This appears to be a legitimate specialty beyond basic painting services.

Glenn Holladay specifically praised "Angel was great!" Stephanie Deason noted "Carina and angel did such a fabulous job." Sarah Greenway mentioned "Juan Mata and his crew were exceptional." James Randolph highlighted "Constant communication from the project manager, Andrii, and Marlin and his team were great." These consistent name mentions across months suggest low crew turnover and specialized roles rather than rotating subcontractors.

Laura Stanley captured it precisely stating they are "very effective communicators- show up at the appointed time, circle back every day they are working, make sure you have a supervisors cell." Adrian Mitchell noted "The company communicated with me throughout the process of scheduling and confirming all the info I would need for the day of the job." When this system breaks down, customers notice immediately because daily contact is the established norm.
