I am in process.
Description of Work: I am in sales. Elliott came out promptly and gave me an estimate--it is rental property--so it's all about the money; although, I also want quality work. l am getting other estimates. I will say this: The estimate presenter, Elliott, is very thorough and communicates well.

I could not have asked for better service. From the time I set up a time to get an estimate (they were very accomodating), to the completion of the project. The entire crew was very professional, detail oriented, and punctual. The price was also very reasonable. I could not have asked for a better experience and I will definitely recommend them in the future.

Even though it was what prep work was needed to be done before starting, the crew simply painted over bad areas, and had to be redone. No craftsmanship and a high cost for just painting.

Let's start with communication. To begin with, I had to call them several times just to get them to come out and give me an estimate. Once they did this, they did not leave me a copy of the estimate nor did they call to confirm when the painters were to come do the work. I had to call several times to get a confirmed date. The sales guy over-promised what they could do. I was aware that my shutters were old and had many layers of paint. I was told that, as long as I paid an additional $300+ fee for lead mitigation, the painters could "feather sand" my shutters. While they would not look like brand new shutters, they would soften the hard edges where thick flakes had chipped off. I looked at the shutters after they had been primed and they had not been sanded AT ALL. The two workers had chipped some additional paint off but did not sand it down, leaving sharp edges. When I brought this up to my sales guy, he changed his story, saying they couldn't machine sand it because there might be lead. Then he tried to tell me that they had hand sanded but I found no dust or used sandpaper anywhere, including the garbage can right next to the project where the other waste had been stored. It's bad enough that they made the shutters actually look WORSE than they had to begin with, but the fact that the sales guy was so slippery about it added considerable insult to the existing injury. At tne end of the day, they never did sand the shutters, they just chipped paint off and then painted over what was left. The end result looks TERRIBLE. Had I been told up front that they would not be able to sand the chipped edges, I would have made another choice. Maybe I would have saved the $900 and done it myself. I would have gotten at least as good of a result. After I explained my dissatisfaction to the sales guy, he suggested that I purchase new shutters. I did not find that at all helpful. The one thing I will say in their favor was that the two men who did the work were professional, clean and very polite. I don't blame them for their company's dishonesty. If they worked for another company, I would hire them again.
Description of Work: I asked them to strip, prep and paint two exterior front windows and two sets of shutters.

Response from CertaPro Painters® of Greensboro, NC
First I would like to apologize to (Removed Member Name) for any miscommunication during the course of our project. Our intention is to be as honest and up front with our customers as possible when it comes to expectations and project outcomes. Shortly after the job was booked we called to schedule the job. We left a message with a start date and asked the client to call us back to confirm. She never did, but after several attempts we were able to reach her and confirm. The home was built in 1927 and it was apparent that the shutters were not much newer. Our proposal read "Shutters are to be scrapped and feathersanded Homeonwer understands that shutters will not look like new." At no time was there an agreement to strip the shutters. Per our contract (and (Removed Member name) comments on this review), we scraped all loose and peeling paint. We also sanded rough edges. Of course with multiple layers of paint on old louvered shutters there is no way to make the surface smooth with only sanding and scraping. Our foreman actually asked the client to approve the shutters after the scraping before we applied the paint and she indicated that she was satisfied with the result. After the shutters were painted she raised her concerns. Aside from purchasing new shutters, we suggested that (Removed Member Name) allow us to chemically strip the shutters to remove all existing paint. She wasn't interested in stripping because there would be an additional charge for labor and materials. Under some circumstances power sanding the shutters would have been an option. However, in this case, we could not use the power sander because the shutters had lead-based paint (EPA forbids this without specialized equipment). Furthermore, the fragile state of the shutters would be jeopardized by such aggressive preparation. Again, if (Removed Member Name) understood that feather sanding implied that we would strip all existing paint from the surface to make a smooth finish I am truly sorry. We offered solutions to the problem but she was not interested. Brian Joyce Owner

Asked for quote via the internet sign up. Took a little longer than expected to get a response and appointment set up. My wife met them for the appointment and went over our requirements for the job. Quote received was a bit pricey as compared to the others and not really detailed enough making it difficult to accurately compare.We chose another service provider.

We apologize that Member's experience was not what he expected and regret that we were unable to schedule his appointment as soon ashe would have liked. However, we made every effort to provide as detailed a proposal as possible for his project. In fact, in addition to providing an overall price, we went through great lengths to provide room by room pricing, and scope of work for 12 different areas in his home. We also provided an optional price to paint six shutters and his front door. All rooms were specified with number of coats and was/was not to be painted. Paint specs were not provided because he insisted on providing the paint. Had Member actually hired us for the project, I'm confident he would have been happy with the result. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity and this rating is based on only an estimate experirence.

They did a neat job. They also spread the payments. They said they would not be finished until I was happy and I was happy. They cleaned up afterwards, got the right color. The salesman and the painters were very pleasant people to work with.

They were very professional, and the assessment process was extremely efficient. The gentleman who provided me with the estimate was courteous, and he printed me a copy of their proposal on the spot. The quality of their work was good, and they were responsive to my calls and concerns. I would happily recommend CertaPro to others.

Totally a nightmare! Nothing done properly. Siding was painted before nail holes were filled. The estimated time was 4 days. It took 6. Totally disrupted my life. Destroyed $170.00 worth of plants in a garden. Total disregard for our property. Job site not cleaned daily. Tried to cover up when the owner was called. Very disceitful crew. Obviously the crew were day laborers and not a CertaPro crew. Job supervisor and owner kept assuring the job would be done to our satisfaction. I paid them today just to be done with them. 7 screens were torn. Repeatedly had to have them come back and finish work that wasn't done. Wrong color on the siding but the owner stands by it being a perfect match. After speaking with the owner about all the problems even after he visited the job site,he did not even both to come to make sure things were done properly before the job was closed. I regret paying in full but just couldn't have any more hassel. They never offered to adjust the price for the problems. We chose CertaPro for the peace of mind and their certainty pledge. They do not live up to their claims. I have no trust or confidence in the job they did and expect to have to start over within a few years.

Response from CertaPro Painters® of Greensboro, NC
We were, of course, very disheartened to hear this customer's response to our service. The member brought several of these items to our attention and we made every effort to address each and every one of them. Specifically: 1) She planted a large flower garden immediately under the area to be painted just before we arrived. We make every effort to ensure that all property is protected during the job. However, there were several plants that sustained damage from ladders during the painting process. We walked the property as soon as this was reported. While she acknowledged that the plants were not "destroyed" but simply would not fully bloom that season, we compensated for the full cost of replanting all plants in the bed. 2) She complained that we damaged several of her screens during the project. Rather than bickering over which screens were previously damaged and which were our responsibility, we paid to have a professional carpenter install all new screens on the house. 3) Any and all areas that she suggested were not prepped properly were addressed. We completed three different walk throughs with her, created a punch list, and addressed each issue in a timely manner. During a recent visit of her home, the house was still in :like new" condition. If there are any remaining issues, we would be more than happy to cover them under our two year warranty. In short, we understand that not every job can come off without a hitch. While we should have done a better job of itemizing all the pre-existing conditions at her home, we made every effort to address all the issues she raised and are ready to stand behind our work.

There was minimal disruption to my home life for those two days and there was no clean up after they left. I will definitely use Brian and his crew again.
Description of Work: I had two rooms and a hallway painted. The hallway had wallpaper that needed to be removed and the wall prepped. The job was completed in two days.

I could not be more pleased with CertaPro and the carpentry work done by Craig Carter. Both Brian and Craig are personable but very professional young men. Their crews have been very efficient and neat. I have every confidence that I will feel the same after everything is finished up in the next week or two.
Description of Work: CertaPro did the pressure washing and then painting of all the trim on my 3-story house. Before they started, a good deal of carpentry repair and replacement work was done by Craig Carter and his crew. Craig was the previous owner of the CertaPro franchise before it was purchased by current owner Brian Joyce. Replaced were rotting soffits, faschia, sills, door and window trim (straight and curved pieces). Flashing over the front door was replaced with copper. Sheetrock was stripped, carpentry repair done, and painting one wall and ceiling in the garage (will be done soon). Extensive carpentry repairs and sheetrock replacement had to be done in the garage due to a leaking roof. The area was exposed in the garage by Craig and then we had the roof repaired. We wanted to go through a couple of good rains to make sure the roof was fixed! I have now called Craig to have him come do the carpentry and sheetrock repair and then CertaPro will return to paint the ceiling and a wall.

Certa Pro did excellent work for me and they charged me a fair price. I was so impressed I asked for their information so I can have them back to paint the whole exterior of my home down the road.
Description of Work: The outside of my maybe 2000 square foot house was painted by Certa Pro. They did the areas around all of my windows. I can't tell you how many there are but I will tell you my home is one story and there is a lot of windows.

Central Pro did an ok job as everything looked great at first then after a while I noticed a few flaws. They were on time and they finished quickly. It took them about three days and in the last day I was out of town and they stayed around until I got home as they let me inspect it to make sure I was happy with it.
Description of Work: Central Pro painted the outside trim work on my 3100 square foot brick house. They scraped the old paint off the trim and then painted the woodwork and the window frames. They also did some wood pieces around the roof.
