7 Best Painters in College Grove, TN - Chooz Score Ranked

About AllBright Pro Painting

Aaron Villanueva and project manager Arael have built a business with over 300 five-star Google reviews and a 5.0-star rating through consistent practices and quality painting. Owner Aaron personally handling color consultations and staying late to ensure paint coverage is perfect, Arael sending daily progress photo updates to clients, crew members like Anderson and Eduardo covering flooring with four layers of protection before starting work. Reviews mention painters texting confirmation messages before arrivals, Aaron returning personally on weekends to touch up areas when customers notice imperfections weeks later, and crews being careful with family pets (including making sure cats don't escape during interior projects).

When Jeanne Smith needed her entire interior painted while caring for her two cats, AllBright Pro Painting didn't just accommodate the pets. The crew went in and out carefully throughout the week to prevent escapes, moved all furniture themselves, and put everything back exactly where it belonged. Three months later, when a minor spot showed wear, Aaron returned personally on a Saturday to correct it at no charge, spending two hours ensuring the color match was perfect.

Projects range from single-room touch-ups starting around $800 to complete commercial transformations requiring multi-week schedules. Customers mention Anderson's talent with patching and making drywall repairs invisible, Arael's practice of sending morning confirmation texts with crew arrival times, and Aaron's habit of conducting final walk-throughs where he points out even minor imperfections before customers notice them. The fully bonded and insured team, including painters Eduardo, Anderson, and Arael working under Aaron's guidance, operates year-round for interiors while handling exterior projects seasonally from March through mid-November. They offer a 2-year limited workmanship warranty and use premium paint brands like Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and PPG across the Franklin, Smyrna, and greater Nashville area within a 30-mile radius.

About Marlin Painting and Remodeling

Founded by Dan Marlin in 2007, Marlin Painting and Remodeling has built an exceptional reputation across the greater Nashville area with a 4.9-star rating and over 75 Google reviews. The husband-and-wife team operates as a licensed general contractor (TN License #78864), fully bonded and insured, handling everything from single-room updates to complete commercial transformations. Their A+ BBB rating reflects 18 years of consistent quality service throughout Brentwood, Franklin, Nashville, and surrounding communities.

Specializing in both residential and commercial painting, Dan and Faith personally oversee every project from estimate to completion. Customers consistently praise their responsiveness, with estimates provided within 48 hours and same-day quotes common. Reviews highlight their systematic approach (covering floors with multiple layers of protection, detailed surface prep, daily cleanup) and their old-school brush-and-roll technique using premium paints rather than sprayed applications. Services include interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, drywall repair, wood rot replacement, and light carpentry work.

What distinguishes Marlin Painting is their hands-on involvement and attention to detail. Dan works alongside his crew daily rather than operating as a middleman, while Faith manages scheduling and client communication. Multiple customers mention projects completed ahead of schedule, crews arriving on time every day, and thorough final walkthroughs where Dan identifies even minor imperfections before clients notice. Their fair pricing reflects quality materials and skilled labor, making them a trusted choice for homeowners, realtors, and interior designers seeking professional results without premium price tags.

About Full Coverage Painting and Flooring

With over 100 five-star Google reviews and a 4.9-star rating, Full Coverage Painting and Flooring operates across Metro Nashville from their location at 115 Great Circle Rd. Owner Andrew London built the company's reputation through personal involvement in estimates and project oversight. The business serves both residential and commercial clients with services spanning interior and exterior painting, hardwood installation and refinishing, LVP, laminate, carpet, tile work, cabinet painting and refinishing, deck staining, and drywall repairs.

Speed defines successful projects. Jordan Harris contacted Full Coverage for an exterior house painting quote, Andrew arrived the next day, and the crew completed the entire job in three days during the July 4th week. Roger P. watched Andrew and Bobby finish deck staining in a single day after starting ahead of schedule. One customer saw bathroom tile demolition, 800 square feet of hardwood refinishing, 330 square feet of LVP installation, and complete trim work finished in under four days. When execution works, the company delivers efficiently with crews maintaining surface protection and daily cleanup. Andrew handles pricing transparently. KC Smythe noted Andrew recommended affordable deck staining rather than expensive refinishing, prioritizing customer needs over upselling.

However, two recent negative reviews expose serious operational problems. Brady Dorris hired Full Coverage for floors and painting with a one to one-and-a-half week timeline quote. The project stretched to two and a half weeks. Workers failed to appear on two scheduled days. The crew left two holes in the yard when removing the dumpster at 10 PM. Robin Schaffer experienced worse during hardwood floor restoration. Crews claimed they applied a third coat when they hadn't. After many no-shows and broken promises, spots still needed fixing when the customer abandoned the project entirely. Both specifically cited terrible communication and project management, with neither receiving detailed owner responses addressing the failures.
