Chooz Score Insights

UpdatedSeptember 2026

At the time we analyzed Clear Image Painting & Cleaning, the company held over 35 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating, along with 5.0 stars on Yelp across six reviews and 100% recommended on Facebook across six reviews. None of the three profiles shows a rating below five stars, a result that is easier to hold at this review volume than at several hundred, and worth reading in that light.

The company earned a Chooz Score of 84.9%. Its website FAQ lists general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and painting work comes with a written warranty whose terms are set in the estimate, backed by a satisfaction guarantee. Owner Brian Leake has run the business in Moore County for more than 25 years as a service-area operation without a public storefront, covering Carthage, Pinehurst, Southern Pines and the wider Sandhills. Alongside painting and drywall repair, the same crew handles pressure washing, window and carpet cleaning, and roof and gutter clearing.

Owner replies sit under all but one of the reviews we analyzed, and most are written to the specific job, one recalling a historic home and another the cold drinks a customer set out. We found at least seven reviewers describing a relationship that runs for years, including one who has booked window and pressure washing annually for over a decade. Several reviewers describe painting, pressure washing and window cleaning handled in a single visit, so one crew covers work that might otherwise take several vendors. Arriving on time is the quality mentioned next most often.

"Clear Image provided outstanding service for my fall painting, pressure washing and window cleaning projects. The crews were professional, timely and responsive to all specific requests with excellent results in all areas. I would highly recommend Brian Leake and his team for your painting and cleaning needs." - Elizabeth S., Google Review

Advice For Future Customers

If you are preparing a house for sale, ask for a combined visit. Three reviewers getting homes ready to list describe pressure washing, carpet and tile cleaning, window washing and touch-up painting done as one job, and two of them are realtors who use the company for their clients. For recurring exterior cleaning, reserve your slot early. One customer describes booking a year in advance, and owner replies to others mention seeing them again in the spring, so seasonal work fills up ahead of time.
