"Painting was very good, happy with the paint job. The communication could be better."

"Brad, owner, proposed to remove wallpaper from the Living Room & Dining Room, paint walls, ceilings, chair rails & crown molding for $2,589 all materials included. He said it would take 2 days, possibly 3 days. We agreed to start on October 29, 2025 with Thomas. Thomas showed up at my door at 10:00 am with no equipment or materials to. start the wallpaper removal. Brad, the owner, came later with the materials & equipment. Floor was covered with plastic, but furniture was not covered in plastic. From. 10:00 am. to. 2:00 pm, Thomas would. work 15-20 minutes and. then step outside for 15-20 minutes multiple. times during that 4 hour time period. He worked consistently from 2:00 pm to 4:45 pm. Only one wall had most of the wallpaper removed. on Day #1. The next morning I called Brad to describe the slow progress and multiple long breaks Thomas took. Brad text me at 8:54 am saying he took Thomas off the job and Ruben will be coming out 10-11 am to pick up where Thomas left off. Ruben arrived at 1:15 pm and left to go to Sherwin Williams to get the wallpaper remover. Ruben started working on removing wallpaper about 2:00 pm until 6:30 pm.Ruben did not cover the floor or furniture. I walked in to see that the wallpaper remover bottle, a water bottle, and his wet clothing was sitting on my 1949 antique dining room table without a protective finish. Some of the wallpaper remover had spilled on the table and one of the chests. When I tried to wipe up the remover, it had already seeped into the wood, was sticky, and pulled the table finish off, so I stopped. I called Brad, the owner, and described what had happened and asked him to please bring plastic to cover my floors and furniture, before more damage was done. Brad said he would drop some off after his last appointment. Only 2/3 of the wallpaper had been removed at the end of Day #2. Ruben said he would arrive at 8:30. am on Day #3. He showed up at 10:00 am. He worked until 12:00 pm, when he left for lunch. He didn't return until 2:10 pm. I text Brad about all my concerns. He called me to discuss. I asked him where Ruben was and why he was gone for 2 hours. Brad said he didn't know. He's never had any complaints about Ruben before. He said he understood my frustration with Thomas the first day, but that he is trying to get the job done for me. That's all he can do. He implied that I was complaining about every little thing (i.e., punctuality, respect for peoples time & property, quality work, reliable & consistent work). He said that he can get the job done or I can have them stop working. I was not happy with his response & called Angis Customer Service to share my concerns. Meanwhile, on Day #3, Ruben worked from 2:15 to 4:15 pm. 4 hours total. After he left, there was a strong chemical odor in my dining room. I noticed 2 white saturated rags under the plastic sheets on the floor. Upon further examination I discovered 2 areas where the chemical had been trapped under the plastic and the floor was wet. I removed all the plastic, threw it away in my garage garbage and washed the wet areas on the floor to remove the wallpaper remover. The plastic tarp was taped on the floor Thursday afternoon and it is now Friday evening. The toxic fumes were overpowering that night giving me a headache, so Saturday morning I removed the large pile of wet rags & tarps left by Ruben in the corner of my living room, the large bag of trash that he left, and all his equpiment. I examined the floor to discover that the moisture had already seeped into the seams and was cupping in several areas where the remover saturated rags had been lying. See photos. After sweeping up all the wallpaper scraps, I also discovered that 3 areas of the quarter round finish had been scraped off, and there's a nick on top of my chest. Ruben's neglect and carelessness has caused unnecessary damage and mental anguish, not to mention, that only 3/4 of the wallpaper in the dining room has been removed in 3 days. I honestly do not feel comfortable having Ruben or CinDay Painters continue working in my home. They do not respect my time or my personal property, are not punctual, and have produced overall poor quality workmanship. They have not even come close to finishing the job in 2-3 days."

"We were in a bind a month and half ago when we needed to have a wheelchair accessible ramp installed to the front porch of our house. After numerous frantic phone calls , Tim stepped in to help out. His crew had the job done in inclement weather to our complete and utter amazement. Kudos to a job well done. We definitely recomend them for any home care needs."

"Garringer Painting recently stained my fence, and they did an outstanding job. The crew was prompt, professional, and paid close attention to detail. The stain was applied beautifully and really brought new life to the fence. They took great care with the prep and cleanup, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. 10 out of 10 — highly recommend! I’ll definitely be using them again for future projects."

"The walls had many issues it was painted in a flat off white to hide all the problems.They had to resurface the entire area in the kitchen and other areas then sand to make the walls look normal again before starting to paint. They prepped very well so as not to get paint or dust from sanding on any of your items and took whatever time was needed to complete the project in a beautiful manner and no unexpected fees added after the original quote, They cleaned up everything before they left were very respectful at all times and the areas of the house they painted look great. I'd like to have them back when I can afford to paint the other rooms mostly on the 2nd floor. I would highly recommend them."

"Allan, with this company, quickly followed up with my inquiry and responded with a fair quote to paint my overhead garage door. The job was completed in fast order and looked great. However, after 6 weeks, the paint on the door is now coming off all over the door. Come to find out, they (Allen) used Interior paint instead of exterior. Thus the reason it is not withstanding any wear. I have reached out multiple times to them (Allan), to no avail. They will not respond back, text, call, nothing. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated that that a company and an individual would conduct business in such an underhanded and fraudulent manner. Bottom line...stay away from this company and hopefully Angi will stop recommending them."

"We had the interior of our home painted, walls, ceiling and our bathroom cabinets painted to match our kitchen cabinets. Our crew did a fantastic job, moved all our furniture and put everything back in place. Our crew showed up on time, did a very professional job and completed on schedule. I would highly recommend CertaPro tp anyone. "

"Replaced dishwasher replaced garbage disposal. Great work great communication and on time and cleaned up afterwards very well. Will recommend and will use again."

"If I could give more stars, I would. I had hired a different company to paint my gray house to a creamy white. It took them 4 weeks. I noticed they were cutting corners but they assured me they knew what they were doing. Fast forward 4 months later, paint starts to literally fall off. Rotted wood was painted over and not replaced. A neighbor recommended Wulfhorst Painting and Remodeling and I'm grateful they did. Brad and his team fixed their sloppy work and it looks absolutely amazing. And they had to start from scratch, pressure washing, removing peeling paint, and replacing rotten siding. It took them one week and I couldn't be happier. I was so impressed with their service and competitive prices that now I'm looking for them to renovate my master bath. Reliable, honest companies can be hard to find, so glad I found them."

"Easy to work with. Very professional and kind. Work completed when promised. Care was taken with this project. Left the project very clean and the paint job was great."
