The crew, headed up by Mark Mathew and Nik Rasmus, was on time, very professional and wanted to make sure that I was satisfied with everything that they did and all was done the way I wanted. The paint job was up to my expectations. They were neat and clean and as I said did everything I asked to complete the job. They finished, cleaned up, and were gone in a timely fashion (about a day and a half). I would definitely hire them again. The house looks great.

Entire interior home. Walls,ceilings,baseboards,door frames. Also pressure washed outside of home. This is one of the best businesses I have every dealt with. The moved the heavy furniture and used drop clothes over them and floors. They were timely, professional, did exactly what they stated in the contract. Used high quality Sherwin-Williams paint. Am going to hire them to do outside window trim.

We had a bathroom and three spare bedrooms painted by CertaPro, including ceilings and trim. The bathroom required some extra attention, as I had spent two days last year trying to remove decades-old wallpaper and had left some patches of paper and glue. Everyone from Charley to Leah to the paint crew were responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the process, from providing a quote to completing the job. A team of four painters arrived around 9:30 and was completely finished painting and cleaning up after themselves by 4:30 that afternoon! They did a fantastic job, and I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.

Charley, the owner, arrived on time and was very professional and friendly. He walked around with me and listened to all my concerns. My fence was heavily stained with mildew and 12 years of dirt buildup, but he told me they would do their best to clean it. He said his team could do the wood repair work if it didn't involve anything structural, which it didn't. His painters arrived on March 16 and began some prep work and started cleaning the fence. Due to rain, they didn't come back until March 21. They worked for two days, finishing up late on March 22. It was getting late and they had another job site they wanted to go check out, so we didn't do a thorough inspection at that time. The next day I was able to walk around and check out the house. I found some areas that needed to be touched up or cleaned up, due to paint overspray. Even though I paid more for the carpentry work than I was quoted, I was not happy with the repair work done to the columns or the fascia. I waited until Monday to call Charley and tell him I wasn't satisfied with the carpentry work. He came back to my house and took photos of all the things I needed done or redone, and reassured me that he would make sure it was taken care of properly and to my satisfaction. It took them a couple of weeks to return, but Charley called me to let me know he hadn't forgotten about me. The painters returned and as usual were very polite and willing to correct my concerns. Everything was taken care of and met with my approval. They even painted my patio for no charge. The fence looks 100% better, too. This made me very happy. Charley even hauled off some things for me. The house looks just like it did when it was built in 2005.

Mr. Rye came out on 11/5/2015 and provided exterior painting quote.  Returned at another date with S/W paint rep.  He then provided an modified quote based on discussions with paint rep.  We decided to go with Certa-Pro and was excited the hunt was over (hunt for a painter).   On 11/16 I accepted his quote and asked when they would be able to do the job.    Didn't hear from Rye for a while.   Finally he replied that he had decided to decline the job.

"Dear Angie's List Member, We apologize for any confusion that may have occurred during your paint project negotiations. We feel it necessary to clarify a few things in response to your review. We were initially confident that we could complete the project under the original specifications. It was not until after several emails requesting to adjust the proposal details and paint, in addition to consultation with the paint store representative that we elected to withdraw our bid. We did so within one day of your last specification change. We felt that at least one of the other companies also bidding the project would have been able to help you. We think that Angie's List is a wonderful tool for the community that brings real experiences to the customers in hopes that they find the right fit for whatever service they require. We appreciate that not only the members of Angie’s List, but also the businesses, can leave comments regarding reviews in hopes that the residents of our area may see the full story. Thank you for taking time to review our services."

They did a good job. I thought the price was high but I had 5 estimates and they were all in ballpark. The way they put the paint on my house was not quite the same as the way the owner had told me they would do it when he was out here. The painters kept telling me that he didn't know what he was talking about. It wouldn't look right. There were some differences between what was told and what they actually did. I would ask more questions and I would get more bids. I wouldn't automatically go back to them.

Most of my experience with Certa Pro was excellent. Charley (owner) was able to come out very quickly to do an estimate, arrived on time, and was very professional. Their quote was very competitive and I was impressed with the organization. They were able to schedule our painting during the days requested (and actually started a day early). Charley kept in contact during the time between signing the contract and the painting regarding time frame, color choices, etc.
The painters arrived on time and were friendly and polite. They did a good job covering up some dark colors that were in the house prior to us purchasing it. There were two painters, but we talked mostly with Steve. After he was done, we did a walk through of the house quickly and had him touch up a couple of areas and fill in a dent in the wall that had been missed. 
It was after he had left (next day actually) that we did have some issues. Once we had the chance to look at everything more closely, we realized that there were small paint splatters around the baseboards in every room that had been painted. There were also some paint splatters extending into the hallway adjacent to one of the painted areas. We also found some obvious dents in the wall that had not been repaired (despite the contract stating that drywall would be repaired). We emailed some pictures to Charley immediately and he replied promptly letting us know that though Steve had used a drop cloth, they could come back and clean up the paint. We had actually come home on the last day of painting to find Steve at one point NOT using a drop cloth on the baseboards, but we are unsure of what had been used to protect the floors for the rest of the job. We had already made a good start on cleaning up the paint at the point of receiving the email, and didn't really feel confident in having them come back given that we felt they had been a bit careless and had not protected the floors as had been promised. Two of us spent 3-4 hours cleaning and scraping away paint marks with our fingernails, and needless to say, were not terribly happy about this.
We do feel like Charley did try to make things right, although it took some convincing that the paint was not there already  (it was most certainly not) and that his painters had not done a quality job cleaning, and it took a few days for him to get back to us with a resolution (small amount of money off of the cost).
Overall, most of what Certa Pro did was great. However, the lack of protection of our floors and apparent carelessness led to our rating as above and decision that we would not hire them again.

This attempt was DOA.
Response from CertaPro Painters® of Gainesville

"We are sorry to hear that you had this experience with our company. It was discovered that at the time of your initial contact, our company was in transition. We did not have access to your information and therefore did not receive your message. Once we saw the error, we contacted you. We apologize that we did not meet the sense of urgency for your project. We would certainly be grateful to receive another chance if ever a need for our services arose in the future. It is because of your honest review that we look inward and make adjustments to better serve our customers moving forward. Thank you."

We were very, very happy with their service.  They did a lot of little work which we appreciated.  They did detailed work.  We had damage done by a moving company on the inside of the home, and Charley sent out a worker a few days later to repair the damage and paint the area.  They were all very polite and clean.

It went great!   The CertaPro painters were right on time each day (it took 3 days to complete), and their professionalism couldn't have been better. They spent a good deal of time at the very end cleaning up after themselves and addressing any small painting irregularities.  They would have spent as much time as needed to ensure that we were happy.

These guys are great! Professional, punctual, courteous. Best, they are SKILLED. Chris cuts in a straight line (against a contrasting background) better than anyone I've seen, and there were very few drips or smears. These guys work hard and smart. I have no complaints. The price was fair -- we ended up changing the terms of the contract a couple of times, to our mutual satisfaction. Overall a very positive experience.

My only complaint is the crew that performed the work was a little unprofessional in there behavior and did not protect the floors well at all.  There work as far as straight cut lines and quickness was excellent. However I was very nervous about the paint getting on our brand new hardwood floor and I did have to clean up a few spots that were tracked through the house.  I could not recommend that crew going into a home with carpet or nice furniture. Otherwise the end product was great. Also the color consultant that Mark the manager keeps on staff was very helpful and great.

This is the second time I've used CertaPro Painters. Nick and Lisa are wonderful and do a terrific job. We purchased the home with three bathrooms and a foyer with the ugliest 1980's wallpaper ever! When they were here the first time, they literally marveled at it, told me what it would be like to strip, and, good sales people that they are, that I should let them do it. I put it off for three years, and after getting halfway through stripping the wallpaper, I decided they were RIGHT! Mark Wortham came out quickly after I called them and gave an estimate that I thought was very fair. In two weeks Nick and Lisa showed up, and before I knew it I had a completely different and updated look in my home. They are super professional, yet friendly. Work quietly, efficiently, and neatly. What more could you want in painters? I know wallpaper is coming back in style, but not in my house! But CertaPro painters will be here for my next job. Outside? Could be.

It went very well. This is the third time I have used Certapro for interior and exterior painting. Nick and Lisa did all three jobs and I would request them again. We had the entire exterior painted, the ceilings in our main living area and then the doors and frames. Mark Wortham, the franchise owner, was punctual and was able to give me a quote on the spot. Painters were quick, conscientious of our home and great to work with. I highly recommend Certapro for your painting needs.
