Why Customers Choose Diamondback Painting

Familiar Faces, Consistent Results

Crew leader Tim Marsh appears in more reviews than any other team member, and customers consistently connect his name with thorough communication and meticulous attention to older homes. The Chooz Score's in-house crews component shows consistency: the same names appear across multiple reviews over several years:

• Tim, Miguel, Todd Bruce, and Davin each manage their own crews and are requested by name
• David Sarabia notes "the same level of professionalism" returning five years after his first project
• The company explicitly states customers work with "Diamondback-trained employees, never subcontractors"

"Diamondback Painting is the best painting company I have ever hired! Their crew, led by Tim Marsh, is talented, professional, thorough and polite. My home looks better than I imagined it would!" - Jennifer N., Google Review

• Gary Whitaker notes Todd's crew "went above and beyond by replacing some rotting boards" and did "little things outside our estimate"
• John Philpott describes how crews "dealt with various water damaged areas" and "replaced some rotted siding" on his 1950s home
• Becca H. on Yelp confirms "the prep work they did was the best we've had"

Questions to Ask Diamondback Painting

Cabinet refinishing durability

While most reviews praise the company's work, cabinet painting appears to have mixed outcomes. One customer reported paint chipping within months of completion and questioned whether proper coats and sanding occurred between applications. If you are considering cabinet work, ask directly: "How many coats of primer and paint do you apply to cabinets, and what dry time do you allow between coats?"

"My cabinets were originally a honey oak color and I had them paint them an off-white color. They looked beautiful when they were first done however, I questioned their technique." - Susan H., Google Review (no owner reply)
