Chooz Score Insights
A Licensed GC, Not Just a Painter
What sets Grace apart from most painters is a set of credentials you can actually check. The company is a licensed North Carolina general contractor, carrying License No. L.103239, and it is fully insured and bonded. Grace is a registered North Carolina business and is IICRC Registered in mold remediation, which lets the crew legally take on work many painting outfits can't. That standing shows up in the scope of jobs customers hand them. Louis Leone brought Grace in for a full master bathroom renovation that ran well beyond paint, and the whole thing was coordinated under one contractor. The Chooz Score's business authority check confirmed the licensing and insurance are active and on file, so the accountability behind that range is real, not just a line on a website. "We recently completed a major renovation of our master bathroom, which included new flooring, vanities and quartz countertops, shower replacement with wall-to-wall porcelain tile, plumbing fixtures, carpentry, wallpaper removal and painting." - Louis L., Google Review
A Name People Trust
Grace's Google page reads the same top to bottom, five stars on every single review. At the time of our analysis, that came to a perfect 5.0-star rating across over 40 Google reviews, backed by 86% recommended on Facebook. Neighbors have also voted Grace a Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave four years running. Dig into what people actually write and the praise clusters around the same words, professional, communication, quality, and a lot of highly recommend. The company earned a Chooz Score of 87.1%. Roger Robertson, who gathered several estimates before choosing Grace, captured why the rating holds. "Grace was not the least expensive of the estimates we received. But based on the scope of the work they did compared to what the others proposed and the quality they provided we feel that Grace's value FAR exceeded what we would have received if we had gone with one of the other contractors." - Roger R., Google Review
Named Crews, Not Rotating Subs
Mike and Jose, Enrique, Jason, Brett. Read enough Grace reviews and you start recognizing the crew by name. That's the tell of an in-house team rather than a rotating cast of subcontractors, and the Chooz Score's in-house crews component picks up on the same names showing up project after project. Owner Lance Hudak gets named constantly too, right alongside the painters doing the work. The specifics stick. Duncan MacKenzie had used an independent painter before with disappointing results, then brought in Grace to repaint his double front doors. Mike and Jose steered him toward a color called Honorable Blue, and he says the doors look gorgeous now. When the same faces keep coming back, that kind of judgment gets easier to trust. "The Grace team came by and advised us that a different color choice (not red) would provide better results. We chose a color called Honorable Blue and the Grace painters (Mike and Jose) did a fantastic job painting the doors." - Duncan M., Google Review
