Chooz Score Insights
Long-Term Relationships, Not One-Time Jobs
Crews like Camilo and his team get called out by name in review after review, but what's more telling is how many of those reviewers have been calling for a decade or longer. The Chooz Score's customer retention indicators are unusually strong here: multiple customers document relationships spanning 10 to 15 years, returning for project after project with no sign of looking elsewhere:
- Daniel Schmidt and G M both describe 15 years of continued work with Camilo, covering interior and exterior projects across that span
- Sandy Schwartz, Steve Siero, and Dee Kelly each reference over 10 years as loyal customers, with family and friend referrals layered on top
- brooke shatles has used the company across over 5 different homes and an office, while Shahpar Lohuddin hired them three times in just six months
"If I could give 10 stars I would. Throughout the past 15 years, we've hired Camilo to paint the interior and exterior of our house. I will, without any hesitation, continue to hire CRD for all of my home painting needs." - G M., Google Review
Years of Consistent Results
The last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, C.R.D Painting Inc had over 90 Google reviews with a 5.0-star rating - a perfect score across that volume is rare for any contractor. This company earned a Chooz Score of 87.0%. With over 8 years in business serving Long Island, the numbers reflect a company that has maintained its standards as it has grown:
- 5.0 stars on Yelp with consistent praise matching the Google review patterns

The Details Matter Here
Customers consistently mention the same thing: it's the prep work that separates C.R.D Painting Inc from other painters. The Chooz Score's review authenticity indicators are strong here, with reviewers describing specific techniques, named surfaces, and detailed project scopes rather than generic praise:
- Multiple reviews describe floors and furniture covered before a single can is opened, with daily cleanup that leaves homes looking untouched
- Edward Wheeler details skylight sheetrock repair on a 1990s home where the finished result looked "better than when the house was new," while bita m. describes walls and ceilings with significant imperfections that now look completely replaced
"They fixed our cathedral ceiling and many cracks through out. Painted. Taped. Caulked. Spackled. Sanded. Their work is extraordinary. They covered all furniture. Floors. Very neat and clean. Not enough words to say how happy I am." - Angela S., Google Review
