"I contacted World Painting after CertaPro dropped out of sight. We quickly got an appointment with them and they were ready to give us a bid that day. The price was reasonable and it included power washing, caulking, and painting our porch floor along with the entire house.
They were able to start within the week and kept us updated through out the project, letting us know what was the next step and when it would be completed. Customer service was excellent. When I had a question they called me back within the hour.
They did an amazing job and we have gotten tons of compliments on it. We would definitely use them again.
