Chooz Score Insights
Familiar Faces, Consistent Results
The Chooz Score's in-house crews component shows consistency: the same crew names appear across multiple reviews. Crew leaders Victor, Carlos, Omar, and Elmer are mentioned repeatedly alongside painters like Luis, Israel, and Maria. Project managers Ken, Leo, Chris, and James check jobs daily to ensure quality:
- Customers consistently mention crews by name and request them for return projects
- Reviews describe supervisors visiting job sites one to two times daily throughout each project
"Sales and project management checked in everyday with their team and spoke with us about any issues. The work is excellent, my cabinets look terrific." - Butch W., Google Review
No Surprises on the Invoice
Area managers like Adam and Lee visit properties and provide printed estimates on the spot, broken down by room with walls, ceiling, trim, and repairs itemized separately. This transparency builds trust before work even begins:
- Multiple customers mention receiving detailed estimates at the first appointment
- Reviews describe knowing exactly what is included before signing
"They deliver an extremely detailed estimate, printed on the spot, at the first appointment. Then the painters show up on time." - Cindy A., Google Review

Questions to Ask ATD Painting
Confirming work meets expectations
A few reviews mention areas where detail work fell short of expectations, particularly around outlet covers and surface preparation in garage projects. While ATD's daily supervisor visits typically catch these issues, it's worth confirming expectations upfront. Ask them directly: "Can you walk me through your prep work process and confirm that all switch plates and outlet covers will be removed before painting?"
"None of the switch/outlet plates were removed which left an unfinished look! Several areas of the walls were not properly prepped." - Martin B., Google Review (no owner reply)
