Chooz Score Insights
At the time we analyzed Earlybird Painters Inc, the company held over 35 Google reviews with a 4.8-star rating and 5.0 stars on Yelp from a single review. The review base is modest in size, and the Google profile is the only one with enough volume to read a pattern from.
The company earned a Chooz Score of 84.8%. Cityview Magazine has named it a Best of the Best winner five years running, and one reviewer describes a building refresh the company completed for the American Red Cross. It has painted in Knoxville for over 30 years and is registered as TN Business Entity No. 000436944. Owner Mark Addaman meets customers for the estimate himself, and the service area runs from Farragut and Lenoir City out to Alcoa, Clinton, and Kingston.
Owner replies sit under nearly every review we analyzed, each addressed to the reviewer by name and tied to the specific job, whether a popcorn ceiling, a fascia repair, or a long customer history. Floor and furniture protection is the detail reviewers mention next most often, with several describing how little dust or trash remained when the crew left. We found at least six reviewers describing repeat hires, including one relationship of about ten years and another customer on a third project. None of the reviews we analyzed carried a complaint.
"About two weeks later, they worked us into their schedule and completed the job in one day. They did exactly what we had requested and when they left, the finished product was perfect, and there was no trash or debris left behind." - Rick B., Google Review
Advice For Future Customers
If your project involves more than paint, raise it at the estimate. Reviewers describe fascia and soffit repair, exterior carpentry, and popcorn ceiling removal being quoted and handled in the same job as the painting. It is also worth planning a final walkthrough with Mark, since one repeat customer describes him coming back to inspect the work himself, and another describes the foreman checking in during the day to confirm how details should be handled.
