Chooz Score Insights
Familiar Faces, Consistent Results
Crews like Miguel, Maurice, and Napoleon get called out by name across dozens of reviews, and that kind of consistency doesn't happen by accident. The Chooz Score's in-house crews component shows the same team members appearing repeatedly in customer feedback, a strong sign that Design Painting keeps a reliable, dedicated workforce rather than rotating subcontractors:
- Miguel leads most residential projects, with customers specifically requesting him for return jobs. Maurice handles complex cabinet work and is praised by name for precision and professionalism.
- Additional crew members including Frank, Nick, Ryan, Javier, and Francisco appear across reviews spanning multiple years, indicating long-term employee retention.
"Big shoutout to the owner, Jeremy, and also to our dream team (Miguel, Frankie, Maurice and Javier). We had the absolute best experience ever while having our first floor and bedroom painted." - Andrea R., Google Review
