"[member name removed], thank you for your comments. Christian and the painting crew did an excellent job on the painting work. I am glad that they were able to take care of all of your concerns. It was a good size project. The carpentry work, completed by Santos was high quality and fitting of the home. Some of the materials were very hard to find (thank you for your help in locating some of them), but he was able to get it done to be in compliance with your HOA. Let me know if I can help with anything else Thank you"
"Thank you for the business. Glad everything worked out great"
"Thank you for the business."
"Great to hear from you. Thank you for the business. The guys did such a nice job on your home. The work came out perfect. Let me know if I can help with anything else."
Everything was super! I chose CertaPro even though it was not the cheapest bid. Kevin, the sales manager was on time and professional. His bid detailed everything I wanted. I chose CertaPro because of the detailed, comprehensive bid.
Ivan, the foreman is a master painter! He is a fine artist! He and Nelson were on time everyday.  Ivan explained each step to me and I reviewed the progress at each step. He matched the paint colors perfectly with the existing colors. They hand washed and cleaned all surfaces, repaired cracks, and small areas of dry rot. They applied a primer and two coats of the paint brand and quality I selected. They cleaned up every day. It all looks amazing! Both Ivan and Nelson clearly took pride in their work. They are truly professionals
"Much appreciated. I will be sure to relay your comments to Kevin and the crew. Thank you for the kind words. The guys always like to hear feedback. They work very hard at what they do. I am glad things worked out great. Let us know if we can help with anything else. Thank you"
"Hi Thank you for the comments. It was a pleasure working with you. Your home looks excellent, and I Am glad that we were able to provide you with exactly what you were looking for."
"Thank you for the review and comments. I appreciate the business and working with you. The crew did an excellent job at your home, and the finish product looks great. Thank you for everything."
"Thank you for considering us for the work. I am glad that you were satisfied with our estimating procedures. I see that you felt that our pricing was high. The work that you have specified is very labor intensive. To paint one wall in a bedroom requires 2 people to move the large bed away from the wall, and we have to cover all areas to protect. Railings on the stairwell, while a very small surface area, is all highly detailed tedious work. Please let us know if we can help with anything else. Thank you"
"It was a pleasure working with you. I am glad that you were fully satisfied with all work. Let us know if there is anything else that we can help you with. Thank you for the business."
"I thank you very much for the business. The work did come out very nice. It always takes a special touch of class when working inside a home. There are so many factors to consider, such as personal items and furniture, and being able to allow you to continue with your daily routine during the painting. Thank you again for everything, take care"
"Working with you was a pleasure. The painting work to your house came out great. Thank you for the business."
"Hi, Thank you for the business. Gilberto did a nice job on your home, and I am glad that we were able to provide you with that you were looking for. Take care."
"Thank you for the business. Please let me know if I can help with anything else."
"I apologize about your feelings about the work. If I may, allow me to retort to your comments, and to explain my understanding of the situation; We originally met to discuss the painting work on April 24th of this year. As part of our standard research to understand what level of work and preparation you were looking for, we came to the understanding that you were looking for a very budget friendly paint job.You mentioned many times that you did not want to spend a lot of money on the work. We then based our estimate and pricing on this. I apologize if we did not understand your needs properly. Your home has significant preparation, where the time involved to prepare surfaces can vary depending on your budget and desired outcome. We did state in the contract a specific number of hours to conduct in the preparation, and reviewed this with you before we started to ensure that you were clear that we would be doing a mid level job. Your home is an older Oakland home which has not been painted in 20-30 years. We come across this on most every job that we do,which is why we spend so much time during the estimate to understand what type of job you are looking for, and make it as clear as possible on the contract. I did inspect the job,and it was a decent, mid level job. I agree, there were a few items that should have been tended to before the crew left the job. There was some paint on the electrical socket, a few imperfections in highly visible areas on the drywall and one light socket was not installed correctly. Once I became aware of the issue, I did the best that I could to resolve the issue, and reach your 100% satisfaction. We are not perfect, and things do happen. After I had the crew come back to take care of all the outstanding items, and bring it up to the level that you were expecting, I hope that we were able to resolve the matter and the work that we provided was up to your expectations."
"Very much appreciated. It always has been a pleasure working with you.I remember 10 years ago when we first painted the outside of your house. Time flies. Thank you for your comments. The cabinets came out very nice (as did the tile mosaic that you did).I am glad that we were able to provide you with the high level of perfection that your home deserves"
"Thank you for your comments and the business. The preparation and painting work came out very nicely on your home. I sorry that the colors that were selected were not to your liking, and we were able to come up with new colors to repaint the house and complete within the time frame that you needed.I hope that the discounted price that I offered to repaint the house with the new colors helped, as I know this is a costly endeavor. It was great working with you,thank you and take care"
"Thank you for the comments.The deals that are posted on the Angies List website are a little hard to understand. I did the best that I could to prevent the idea that we would paint the entire exterior of an Oakland house for $1850. The deal states 1 painter for 1 week. I never meant for this to come across that we could paint an entire house for this amount. Typically,in our area, there is significant preparation required to attain a quality job. I am working with Angies List to revise the deals and the wordage so they reflect this. I hope, in an after thought,that you received the job that you were looking for, in a competitive fair price. The guys did a very nice job, and your house looks very good."
"Hi (removed member name) Thank you for your comments. I am glad that things turned out well on your house.I will relay your comments to the crew. It was a lot of work, the guys did a very good job of working within your schedule, and taking care of the new hardwood floors."
"It was great doing business with you. Thank you for selecting us to complete the work to your house. Let me know if I can help with anything else."
"Hi [member name removed] I am glad that you had a great experience. Rodrigo and his crew did a very nice job in sealing all areas, and taking care of the peeling paint issue that you had around the front of your house. I appreciate your business and your comments. Thank you"
"Thank you for your comments. I will be sure to relay this to the crew, as they always appreciate positive feedback (and any feedback to improve ourselves for the future). They did a great job, things went well, and fit into the schedule that we had laid out.It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you for everything"
"Thank you for the business, and letting us know how we did. Juan did a very nice job on your house. There was a lot of peeling paint, and they did an excellent job in the preparation. The clean up was very good as well, I didn't see any paint chips on the ground when I walked around. I am glad that the dryrot around the windows was taken care of, and hopefully this will prevent water from coming into your house in the future. Take care, and thank you again."
"Thank you for the thoughts and review. I will let the guys know how you felt about the work. I am glad that we were able to accommodate your schedule, and reduce the stress in your move. Thank you for everything, let me know if I can help with anything else."
