Nashville House Painters
Chooz Score Insights
When we ran our analysis, Nashville House Painters held over 140 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 5.0 stars on Yelp across over 10 reviews and 100% recommended on Facebook across 9 reviews. Every rated platform reads at or near the top of its scale, though the Yelp and Facebook samples are small next to the Google profile.
The company earned a Chooz Score of 87.3%. Owner replies appear on all but one of the reviews we analyzed. It has operated as an Antioch painting contractor for 15 years under owner Rick Smith, and its service area covers Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Mt. Juliet, Murfreesboro, Smyrna, and Nolensville, with a dedicated page for each on the company website.
Communication and cleanup are the qualities reviewers return to most, describing prompt answers to questions during the job, crews arriving on time, and work areas cleaned before they leave. Owner Rick Smith is named in over half of the reviews we analyzed, several describing him handling the estimate personally, and crew leader Nechi is named in several. Repeat business is the most telling pattern, with at least ten reviewers describing a second project or a working relationship spanning years. Every review in our sample carries a five-star rating, so there was no written criticism to evaluate.
"This is the second time we have used Rick for a painting project and we are just as happy with his work as we were with the first job. Rick came out promptly to do an estimate to paint our screen porch. We had several other estimates and his was the most detailed and very fair." - Caroline Z., Google Review
Advice For Future Customers
Several reviewers describe the estimate visit as the part of the process that set the tone, with one calling it the most detailed of the several she gathered and others noting the final price matched it, so it is worth asking for that written estimate before work starts. If you are painting ahead of a sale, mention the deadline early. Two reviewers, one a Realtor, describe a crew on site within days and work finished ahead of schedule once they explained a listing date.
