Room Ninjas
Chooz Score Insights
When we ran our analysis, Room Ninjas held over 210 Google reviews with a 4.9-star rating, along with 100% recommended on Facebook across 30 reviews. An average this high is uncommon at this review volume.
The company earned a Chooz Score of 86.9%. It publishes its coverage openly, listing commercial general liability of up to $2,000,000 and workers compensation, and it backs each job with a one-year workmanship guarantee. Room Ninjas has operated for over 10 years and is registered in Tennessee under Business Entity Record No. 000801856. The business is veteran-owned, run by owner Matt Wanasek out of Columbia, and serves homes across Middle Tennessee.
Owner Matt Wanasek is named in over half of the reviews we analyzed, quoting jobs, fielding questions, and checking in as projects wrap. Painter Michael appears repeatedly as well, alongside Johnny, Benito, and Marcos, the same names surfacing across two years of reviews. We found at least twenty reviewers describing a repeat hire or a firm plan to bring the company back. Fair pricing and steady communication come up throughout, and none of the reviews we analyzed contain a written complaint.
"Matt Wanasek is always a pleasure to work with and took his time listening and understanding what our expectations of the job were and checked in throughout the project to make sure we were happy. The team (Johnny and Michael) showed up exactly when they said they would and completed the job on schedule." - Alexandra L., Google Review
Advice For Future Customers
Reviewers who got the most from their projects treated the estimate as a working session. One describes suggestions that reduced costs and improved the finish, and another credits Matt with a deck color match, so bring your color and scope questions to the walkthrough. If you are working against a deadline, say so up front. Several reviewers describe close-deadline jobs, including a pre-listing repaint and a living room and kitchen finished in one day, and each describes the schedule holding.

Additional Questions Answered
How does Room Ninjas keep homeowners informed throughout a painting project?
Room Ninjas keeps homeowners in the loop from the first estimate through the final walkthrough, with steady updates as the work moves along. One customer, Louise Music, described the team as "Very good at communicating with me, being on time, and did great job". Another, Lisa, called them "Super responsive and helpful to get our job done", which is how most projects run start to finish.
Does Room Ninjas finish painting projects on the schedule they promise?
Yes, Room Ninjas sets a timeline early and works to hit it. Sean Denton wrote that the team "communicated the timelines clearly, and finished the project when he said he would". Jolene Sviderski added that they "expedited our project in the time frame that he promised". Clear scheduling and steady progress are a pattern across the reviews, not a one-time result.
How careful is Room Ninjas with prep work and finish details?
Room Ninjas treats prep and fine detail as where the job is won, not an afterthought. Alexandra Lerner praised the crew for "paying attention to every detail and ensuring that even the smallest corners and edges were perfect". Steve Rosichan noted that "these guys do 2 coats with minor repairs and are very meticulous about what they do", which shows up in the finished walls.
Can Room Ninjas paint and refinish kitchen cabinets for homeowners?
Yes, cabinet painting is one of the jobs Room Ninjas handles often, alongside standard interior work. Mike Hartman shared that "Matt and his team did a great job painting our kitchen cabinets" and that the "Work was high quality". The crew masks the space, preps the surfaces, and finishes cabinets so a kitchen looks refreshed without a full remodel.
What interior painting work does Room Ninjas take on inside homes?
Room Ninjas handles full interior repaints, from single rooms to whole houses, including walls, trim, and doors. Kalai Chinna "hired Room ninjas to paint my 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house" and came away thrilled with the result. Liviu Nicoara noted that "They painted a couple rooms, all the trim, and all the doors in the house", a scope the crew covers regularly.
Does Room Ninjas handle exterior painting and deck staining jobs?
Yes, Room Ninjas paints home exteriors and stains decks in addition to interior work. Joel Nye said his "Full exterior painting and the house looks amazing" once the crew finished. Katie Simkins shared that "They did a great job helping us refinish our deck", with a color matched to her home. Exterior and staining projects sit right beside the interior work.
Is Room Ninjas priced fairly for the quality of work?
Room Ninjas aims for fair, upfront pricing that matches the quality of the finish. David Prather noted "a very competitive price for the service provided" and planned to hire again. Melinda Curran wrote that the owner "gave fair pricing" before the crew delivered strong work. Transparent estimates and reasonable rates come up again and again across customer feedback.
Why do Room Ninjas customers keep hiring the team again?
Customers come back because the results and the experience hold up over more than one project. Cory Carlton put it plainly, writing "Next time I need something painted, it’s the Room Ninjas". Melissa Wozak was "already asking for a quote to do other rooms in the future" right after her first job. Repeat work and referrals run through the reviews.
Who owns and operates Room Ninjas as a registered Tennessee business?
Room Ninjas is owned and operated by Matt Wanasek and runs as Industrial Design & Innovation, LLC, doing business as Room Ninjas. The company is registered in Tennessee under Business Entity Number 000801856.
