Our Chooz Score evaluates 44 factors across reviews, digital presence, and business credentials. Here's what stands out for CRD Painting Inc
Too many Long Island homeowners have hired painting contractors who quote one price and charge another, leave furniture unprotected, and vanish before touching up problem areas. Owner Camilo Membreno founded C.R.D Painting Inc with a clear operational standard to address those frustrations directly. His crews cover all floors and furniture before opening a paint can, communicate by phone and text throughout every project, and address any remaining concerns before leaving for the final time.
The company handles interior and exterior residential painting, with particular depth in wallpaper removal and installation, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, water damage repair, and whole-home transformations. Projects range from single-room refreshes to multi-week renovations of complete properties. C.R.D Painting Inc also serves commercial clients, including co-op buildings with strict management requirements across Long Island.
Based in Centereach, the team covers Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the Hamptons. The company holds a Suffolk County Home Improvement Contractor license and also provides power washing, drywall repair, spackling, staining, and varnishing services for residential and commercial properties throughout the region.
Jennifer Walker notes the crew "took great care in prepping the space, protecting our floors and furniture," while DARRIN DIAZ describes the team as "meticulous with protecting all the furniture." W Palumbo, a repeat customer of several years, credits the prep work that never gets skimped as the reason each finished coat is "smooth and professionally done." This floor-and-furniture-first discipline appears across dozens of reviews as the team's baseline operating standard.
