Chooz Score Insights
Ask for Ryan and Kristian
Read enough of these reviews and the same two names keep surfacing. Ryan runs the estimates and project management, and Kristian leads the painting. Customers describe them so often, and in such specific terms, that you feel like you know the crew before you've met them. This isn't a rotating cast of subcontractors.
Alongside the two regulars, names like Sebastian, Rodolfo, Juan, Miguel, Jose, and Joshua show up handling specific jobs, and Ryan tends to circle back after the work is done to confirm everyone's happy. The Chooz Score's in-house crews component picks up on this consistency directly, since the same painters recur project after project. On one exterior job, Sebastian and Rodolfo did the painting while field manager Ryan Chapman stopped by afterward to make sure the homeowners liked what they saw.
"Sebastian and Rodolfo did an excellent exterior paint job. They come highly recommended. Their field manager Ryan Chapman came by after the job was completed to make sure we liked what we saw. We are very pleased!" - Doug B., Google Review
