Our Chooz Score evaluates 44 factors across reviews, digital presence, and business credentials. Here's what stands out for Four Bridges Painting
Owner Eric Trigg founded Four Bridges Painting in October 2021, building it into one of Chattanooga's highest-rated contractors with over 75 five-star Google reviews and a perfect 5.0-star rating. The fully licensed company (Tennessee Home Improvement Contractor License No. 10583) specializes in both residential and commercial painting throughout Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain, Hixson, Signal Mountain, and Cleveland. From cabinet refinishing to complete exterior transformations, their portfolio spans small refresh projects to multi-week commercial jobs like fishing cabin renovations and screen room custom finishes.
What distinguishes Four Bridges is Eric's hands-on approach. He personally handles estimates and color consultations, often responding to inquiries within hours. Crew leaders Orlin and Marco receive consistent praise for their surface preparation, with customers noting four-layer floor protection and cleaning that leaves properties "spotless when they were done." The team tackles complex requests other contractors refuse, such as custom ceiling painting with stained rafters, even making carpenter referrals when projects need additional trades.
Reviews emphasize reliability over marketing promises. Eric visits job sites daily to assess work quality, maintains constant communication through his scheduling system, and completes final walk-throughs before considering projects finished. When a screen room ceiling required labor-intensive custom work another contractor declined, Four Bridges listened, spent time developing solutions, and kept both schedule and quote intact. The company backs all interior and exterior work with a two-year warranty, operates with transparent pricing (25% deposit, balance at completion), and offers financing through Wisetack for projects up to $25,000.
