Chooz Score Insights
The Details Matter Here
Projects consistently come back looking better than customers imagined, especially on complex jobs like whole-house popcorn ceiling removal. The Chooz Score's review authenticity indicators are strong: reviewers mention specific project details, crew members by name, and realistic timelines. What stands out is the level of prep work and finishing detail customers describe:
- Multiple reviews praise smooth, flawless ceiling finishes after popcorn removal, with one customer noting you would never know the ceilings were ever textured
- Crew leaders like Benjamin, Nate, and Eric are called out by name for their attention to edges, moulding, and drywall patches
"This was a BIG job, his team was here for over a week completing the work and did an outstanding job. The home looks so much better and refreshed." - Chris G., Google Review

Additional Questions Answered
How does Advantage Paint Services handle whole-house popcorn ceiling removal without damaging walls and floors?
Customers with older homes face a common headache when popcorn ceilings need to go. The crew masks all furniture and lays heavy paper over every inch of hardwood flooring before removal begins. Nate and his team then scrape, skim-coat, and repaint to a smooth finish. Kenneth Bossert noted his crew masked all furniture and effects requiring him to remove nothing while Luke Borkowski confirmed you could never tell the popcorn ceilings were there after a multi-day whole-house project.
What happens when a customer finds prep issues mid-project that were not part of the original scope?
Hidden problems like drywall cracks, soft trim, or peeling layers can surface once walls are exposed. Advantage Paint Services addresses these in real time rather than ignoring them. Charles Accivatti described a project covering popcorn ceilings, walls, trim, doors and cabinetry across multiple floors, praising how Ben and Ian handled every detail with precision and care. Frank DiMaria reported a manufacturer paint issue that arose after completion, noting the owner communicated with him and resolved all issues.
How does the crew protect a home during an exterior siding repaint?
Buffalo's older aluminum-sided homes require thorough preparation before paint goes on. The process involves washing surfaces, scraping loose paint, sanding glossy areas, and filling gaps. Rich Granto described how the crew cleaned up the foundation and porch on a Friday and patched up where it needed it before returning Monday to paint. Beth Lucia, who hired three companies for estimates, said Ben and his painting partner went the extra steps to give her the best looking home on the street.
What can commercial property managers expect when hiring Advantage Paint Services for multi-unit or office work?
Managing a commercial paint project means coordinating around tenants, business operations, and tight timelines. Anthony Kozak hired the team to prep a condo for the market and found Ian knew exactly what he wanted and that when the job was finished the condo looked brand new. The commercial painting, interior commercial painting, and exterior commercial painting service pages outline a process that starts with a site assessment and ends with a final walkthrough.
How responsive is the team when a homeowner reaches out for an estimate?
Slow callbacks are a frustration homeowners mention repeatedly when shopping for painters. Several customers highlight speed as a differentiator. Mike, a Local Guide, wrote that Zack was quick to return his call, provide an estimate, and have his team complete the job. Annie Stevenson, who found the company through a Google search, noted that Ian replied quickly and answered all of their many questions. The team uses an online scheduling portal through DripJobs for booking consultations.
How does Advantage Paint Services handle communication and follow-through during longer projects?
For jobs lasting a week or more, consistent updates prevent the anxiety of wondering what is happening in your home. Nicole Wilcocks was shocked at how reasonable the pricing was and praised how the company communicated with her every step of the way. Mike Wydra, whose 2600-square-foot interior took a full crew several days, said the team even followed up a couple weeks after making sure the job was to their liking.
Is Advantage Paint Services licensed and insured in New York, and what certifications does the team hold?
New York State does not require a statewide painting contractor license. Advantage Paint Services LLC is a registered Domestic Limited Liability Company with the New York Department of State, DOS ID No. 7710382, filed September 15, 2025, with Active entity status. The company carries full insurance coverage and holds EPA Lead-Safe Certification, Painting Contractors Association membership, and OSHA safety certification.
