Our Chooz Score evaluates 44 factors across reviews, digital presence, and business credentials. Here's what stands out for J & S Painting Plus Inc
Serving homeowners across Westchester County, NY and Fairfield County, CT for more than 25 years, J & S Painting Plus Inc has earned a reputation that lives almost entirely on word of mouth. Owners Jay and Sheki Gisonni lead in-house crews that customers call by name. Omar, Victor, Jose, Mauricio, and Luis appear throughout project stories, each one credited with the sort of painstaking preparation that turns aging siding or dated interiors into clean, lasting finishes.
The company handles residential interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, drywall repair, wallpaper removal, light carpentry including trim and molding, and pressure washing. Office manager Kathie and coordinator Pam anchor the scheduling and communication side, fielding calls at the Port Chester headquarters Monday through Saturday.
Holding a Westchester County Home Improvement license, a Connecticut Home Improvement registration, and BBB accreditation with an A+ rating since 2006, the team operates from 72 S. Regent Street in Port Chester and maintains a secondary presence in Greenwich, CT, covering 21 towns across both counties.

Homeowners describe a process that begins with Jay or Sheki arriving for a detailed walkthrough, often the same week as the initial call. Shari Franklin noted the team "was able to schedule painting the same week." Each prospective client receives a comprehensive packet including licenses, insurance certificates, references, and testimonials. After a same-day written proposal, the office team handles scheduling. During the project, crew leaders like Omar and Mauricio check in daily, and Kathie or Pam send regular updates.
