Customers consistently mention the same thing: once they hire DABS Painting, they keep coming back. The Chooz Score's customer retention indicators are among the strongest we've seen - nearly half the reviews we analyzed describe return customers hiring the company for second, third, or even fourth projects:
"DABS has again provided high quality work for our home. They wallpapered our half bath and it looks excellent. They are an honest and trustworthy company that I strongly recommend using." - Meredith W., Google Review
Shelly Rosso doesn't just run the business from behind a desk. She personally conducts every estimate walkthrough and shows up on the first day of each project to review details with the crew. Five separate reviewers highlight this hands-on approach as something that sets DABS apart from other contractors:
"I got three estimates and Shelly was the only one who asked questions about my expectations and needs. I knew I wanted to go with Shelly because of her reputation and was thrilled when she gave me the most thorough and best quote." - Nancy W., Google Review
Over 21 years in business builds a track record that's hard to fake. DABS Painting earned a Chooz Score of 86.2%. The last time we conducted our Chooz Score analysis, they had over 20 Google reviews with a 4.8-star rating, plus 5.0 stars on Yelp and 14 Nextdoor Faves:
"The DABS crew reconditioned my front driveway and backyard deck surface. They worked meticulously and in a very professional manner. Also, DABS painted the exterior of my house nearly 2 years ago. The house still looks freshly painted." - Joao F., Google Review
