My criticism: the work took longer than planned because after coming in briefly the first day, Marco did not return the second day. He had work to finish on a prior job. Normally, this might not be such a problem, but I was annoyed with the fact that we had written on the top of the contract the day the work would start, and it was clear that they were not ready to start that day. There is one positive aspect to this, as it shows that they are busy and thorough, but it discommoded us. On the second day of work, the day on which Marco did not return, we were strung along with the promise that he might come if he was done. I prefer more definite timetables, and Lou hemmed and hawed quite a bit instead of committing, saying that the painter would or would not be present. This led to us having a house sitter waste a half a day at our house waiting for Marco to come, when he did not do so. It also led to my wife having to work from home to accommodate the extra day. That said, if we have the time and the patience to work with a painter who can not commit to specific timetables, we will work with Certa Pro again.

WOULD DEFINITELY USE AGAIN but offer three suggestions to them to make them better: 1. Please replace one of your real rust bucket vans. The paint and body is gone, and it makes your company look shabby. Makes it look like I hired fly-by-night people. 2. Three installers came to the house, and one by one, asked to use the bathroom upon entering the house. Try to take care of this elsewhere. 3. Please don't work on brand new a/c sleeve while it is on the cement sidewalk. You scratched the paint off one of the corners, and scrached the paint off the "F" emblem on the a/c. There were carton flaps and styrofoam and lawn to do that on. Thanks.

This was the second time we used Ed and his team of superb painters. His team got the job done ahead of the promised date and it was a clean and professional job.
Arman gave us the written estimate after explaining the overall job to us - timing, paint brand and colors, etc. He and Tom started and finished on the scheduled dates. They were neat in their work, showed up on time in the mornings and worked on through. A pleasure to work with.

Him and his crew are true masters at their skill - we’ve had him hang high end custom murals, grass cloth, extremely intricate designs that required precise and very difficult matching, strange shaped rooms, small rooms and gigantic rooms, repair work to existing wallpaper, and rooms that needed a ton of wall prep work before they could be wallpapered.

Painting questions, answered by experts
Yes, with some primers, you can prime and paint on the same day. It depends on how long your primer takes to fully dry. Some can dry within an hour while others may take a fully 24 hours.
Yes, you can paint over already painted metal, but—before painting—you’ll want to use sandpaper on the area to achieve a rough surface. This helps prevent the paint from peeling or flaking. Remove damaged paint with 120-grit sandpaper. If the paint is in good condition, use 240-grit sandpaper. Brush off any dust before applying the primer.
If you are caulking, painter’s tape should be removed before the caulk starts to set. It only takes 30 to 60 minutes for the caulk to dry, so this should be done fairly quickly.
Yes, you can paint most wall panels. In fact, many wall panels come unfinished, meaning you can stain or paint them in any color you choose. Unfinished wall panels are usually less expensive than finished panels, although you should consider the time it will take you to finish them yourself when deciding if the monetary savings are worth it. You can save some money on the labor of finishing your panels if you go the DIY route, though.
If your wall panel already has a stain or paint color on it, you can often paint over it as well. You'll just want to make sure you properly treat the area before painting.
You may or may not be able to paint over your old exterior paint. If the existing paint is in good shape, then you can paint a new layer on top. But if your paint is flaky, you'll need to scrape off the old paint before adding any new layers. Also, it’s best to use primer first to help your paint stick properly.
