.  The actual house painting was very good.  However the garage doors were painted after a rain and the surface was still wet causing the paint to bubble.  We called them on several occasions and were told they plan to do the return repair work in Oct.  No one came.   We sent an email to the home office and got a reply from the owners that they would schedule a repair crew immediately.  Guess what.  No one came.  Several phone calls were not returned. Sent another email to home office and this time we did not get a reply.  I guess I will have to hire a different company in the spring to fix the ugly bubbling.  This local dealer does not know what customer service and quality really means and needs to be retrained.  I would not use them again.
Response from CertaPro Painters® of Saint Paul
"Our records indicate we have never completed work for the listed member, nor did we complete any painting at the listed address. Further our records indicate no contact of any sort from the listed member. Our records do show happy customers residing at the listed address. We completed painting on their home in the fall of 2011 and completed a more than satisfactory job, on time, on budget, with no surprises and meeting or exceeding expectations. In late fall 2012 the members contacted our office requesting warranty work on the garage doors be completed. The member's warranty work was put into our production schedule promptly. Fall is an immensely busy time for a painting company in Minnesota as we are trying to accommodate all of our exterior customers before the cold weather sets in and we can no longer paint outside. We informed the member of his place in our production schedule and kept him informed of our progress. We were unable to complete a handful of projects and unfortunately those projects must wait for spring to be completed. All of our completed jobs come standard with a two year workmanship warranty. As a standard business practice we also send warranty inspection reminders for our customers whose warranty will be expiring in the coming months. We will contact the member's to verify there is no additional warranty concern and as discussed with the homeowner plan to complete the warranty work this upcoming spring as the project is under warranty until fall of 2013. As the largest and most referred painting company in North America, our reputation for excellent customer service and delivery of an outstanding product is of utmost importance to us."

This is one friendly company!  From initial contact to final contact, they were easy going, yet professional, helpful and knowledgable.  They returned phone calls promptly with answers.  Their quote was the lowest of the four I requested and was by far the most comfortable feeling of the group.  They kept me informed about timing of starting the job and allowed me to choose a general time span of two weeks which was honored.  The crew chief was pleasant and helped me decide on solid stain by giving examples of the results on the house itself.  This was only change that occurred from initial contract and I'm very pleased with the results.  The entire process took 3 days and went seamlessly.  I was home most of those days and barely noticed working.  They were quiet, unobtrusive, and made sure I had easy exit and entrance from the house.  Their equipment was kept right where I suggested.  The cleanup afterwards was complete and all I was left with was a beautiful home looking 10 years younger!  I paid by check but credit card was also available.  From start to finish it has been an excellent service.  I would recommend them highly and without reservation!

We needed the job done in a short timeframe, and they were very accommodating. Due to a severe storm, some of the stain on the deck was washed away and they agreed to come and do repairs for no extra cost. Up-front quote was very professional and informative. Workers were very professional and responsive. Would definitely recommend.

I hired CertaPro Painters to do some interior painting. They were responsive and friendly.  However, I was not told upfront that this company subcontracts out painting to other painters and thus a premium in price. Of course, I will learn from this next time.  I was not happy with the quality of the painting as I expected and was promised two coats of paint.  It was abundantly clear and glaringly obvious that I did not receive two coats of paint in certain areas; however, after contacting the painter who did the work, he did come back and correct and complete the project, though never admitting that it was not properly done the first time.
Response from CertaPro Painters® of Saint Paul
"We do subcontract but not as the notion implies. We also have 2 employees. We do it for paperwork reasons as in Minnesota there is undoubtably slow times in the winter months. We are not capable of providing employees work full time, year round and so we have companies that we partner with every year. They are companies that do not have their own work (work solely with us) and with whom we have at least 2 years of work experience with. The premium price is not for subcontracting but that we have a legal 2 year warrantee, insurance, and worker's compensation in which many of our competitor's cannot provide. We are sorry for any work that was not up to your expectations. We do not require payment until our customers are happy and are willing to come back no matter how long it has been to touch up things that could have been missed."

They were very good about providing an on-site consultation and estimate. They followed up with reminder calls prior to the work and worked around our busy schedule. The workers were very friendly, clean and professional. I would recommend them to others and use them again for any exterior paint work we might need in the future.
