Crew was quick and efficient and paid attention to detail. They listened to what I wanted and were willing to make changes as needed. The house hadnâ t been painted for awhile, and they did a thorough job of prepping it. Made sure everything was completed to my satisfaction before leaving job.

I have used this CertaPro franchise the last three times I have painted the exterior of my home. I also used them for interior painting. The job was always excellent and the workmen were always very responsive.

Update: Less than one year later, the work done on our deck "unsealed" and allowed significant water damage to the surface of the deck. When called upon to explain how the failure occurred so quickly, CertaPro responded they're not general contractors and therefore not accountable for the damage caused by the poor quality work done sealing the deck surface originally. As of today, it has been four months since CertaPro was alerted as to their failure and we have yet to get any support for resolution. Avoid this company at all costs!! If they could get the communication straightened out and had personnel that the homeowner didn't have to personally supervise, they would get a higher rating. As it is, we've elected to wait a year to do more work on our house because of the bad experience we had.
Response from CertaPro Painters
"So sorry for your experience. We always strive to deliver the best product that we possibly can. I completely understand your frustrations. Thank you for the conversation today, I will be working very hard on implementing systems and processes so this does not occur again. We typically do not replace interior doors or install weatherstripping, it was out of our wheelhouse. We should have been up front with you about this, and communicated much better about it. Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do for you. As an update to this - Thank you for meeting with me to come up with a resolution. We did overpromise by replacing doors, and repairing the leak in your deck. I am glad that we were able to work things out."

The CertaPro Painters did a beautiful job of covering up many cracks on the stucco walls which required a second coat of paint. We are impressed.

CertaPro will do the job next winter so we are in the scheduling process now. We are very impressed so far with the professionalism and organization of this company. He came when he said he would and called earlier in the day to confirm the appointment then called again when he was 10 minutes away.

Soumil was eager to make sure everything was done to our specifications. Due to rain the project dragged a bit, but we are happy with the end result.

We are extremely satisfied with the exterior painting job by CertaPro. Thorough work, flexible and willing and done in a timely manner.

Most of their work, as well as their customer interface, was first-rate. I would rate them 4-star+, and would have given them five had they had a little more care with surface finish and clean-up.

Overall I was pleased with the work that was performed. I did though have some difficulty contacting the main office (voicemail) to clarify a scheduling problem. This issue was eventually handled by the rep who came out to give me the estimate.
