As part of our annual home maintenance project, exterior painting for our house was in consideration. We sought five reputable house painters. All were decent and professional. Our initial consultation showed that Certa Pro Painter in San Mateo was cut above the rest. The rep, John Galang, showed up with deep knowledge about different paints, finishes, and techniques. He was more than happy to share insights on what would work best for our home, considering its condition and the local climate, and also, we belong to a homeowner association. Throughout the painting process, their competency shone through. They prepped the surfaces meticulously, ensuring the house was clean, cracks were filled, and everything was primed throughout. It was evident that the painters had tremendous trade experience and took pride in their craft. The result was a beautiful finish, and we were happy with their work. Moreover, their professionalism extended beyond just the quality of their painting. They maintained a clean workspace, always showed up on time, and communicated effectively, keeping us in the loop about the progress and any necessary adjustments. During the process, the rep, John, even showed up to walk through with us. He did what he promised during the consolation meeting. Our experience with Certa Pro Painter was exceptional three weeks after they finished the painting. They were not the cheapest. Among the five we got quotes from, they were somewhere in the middle. But considering a knowledgeable painter fully insured, bonded, and licensed, we looked no further to pick them. If anyone is seeking a quality house painter, we wholeheartedly recommend them or at least consider them in the bidding process.

John, the estimator, is very courteous. Great product knowledge and answered all my questions in the consultation session. Very responsive to my requests throughout the entire process, from firming up the contract, to scheduling and during the week of the project. The crew did a good quality job on the exterior painting without rushing through tasks. Courteous. Had been keeping me in the loop on a daily basis. Overall, the customer service was excellent and good value/quality for the money.

The house looks great. They were very attentive and did a great job. The only down side was the quote said the job would take 3 days and it ended up taking 5 days. That was fine for a job well done.

We're very satisfied with our exterior house painting. Clean, thorough and job complete on time on budget. The project manager assigned to our job was excellent. They did what they said, when they said they were going to do it. Communication was seamless from beginning to end. We had had four quotes for the same work and the prices did very. We feel the charges were a fair value for the job well done!

They offered a color consultant. Next time, we will use that service. In addition, I will clarify what I consider to be the "Trim" versus "Accent" parts of the house. This misunderstanding resulted in a change order, which increased the cost of the project. The paint crew was very efficient. They were done in 3 days. The house looks great and they also cleaned up the surrounding areas as well.

The painters were very good but unfortunately the fog came in and stopped the job. We are waiting for better weather to complete the job.
