The service was excellent. Great communication. Outstanding employees. Work progressed quickly and efficiently. The finished house looks much better. I will use CertaPro again.

Very well. They were punctual, clean. They cleaned up after themselves and did a great job! I hope to move soon and would use them in my next home if need be.

Tom was always very courteous and said he would take care of issues that we had. He even came out on the final day to try and make sure the work was done properly. However, he did not succeed. The people who did the work did not seem to know how to make it look good and seemed to take no care to protect our flooring and countertops. Even during the process as we discussed these issues with Tom and he confirmed the need for better, it still did not meet reasonable standards. Amazingly, after we had emphasized the problem with Tom and he came out on the last day to see to it, they still managed to get something on our quartz island countertop. It appears they tried to clean it with something but we are not sure. What we are sure of is it left a large stain and rough surface. Fortunately our stone finisher was able to come out and fix it. The paint and stain finishes themselves were inconsistent.

Professional proposal and quote. The price was higher than others but they were easier to work with and more refined.

They were very very good. They power washed it one day, painted the next. They caulked all the gaps, sealed everything. It was all done very quickly and well. Mr. Barber was very nice and all of the workers were very polite.

The local owner Tom Barbour gave us a very timely and complete estimate. The crew was punctual and professional, and did a very thorough job including clean-up. There were a few items that needed follow up attention, which were taken care of promptly. Would definitely use again.

We were amazed they made no mess whatsoever and no mistakes as well. Done ahead of schedule. Tom gave us good advise as to how to blend the wall colors with the ceiling color and recommended to make the wall with the flat screen a dark color which we did and love.

Very professional, responsive and courteous! Great attention to detail. My wife is very satisfied, which means I will be out of the dog house! LOL

Refreshing to deal with a professional company. Mr. Barbour promptly responded to my request for a bid. Then when I selected CertaPro they commenced the project within a few days of the projected date. Mr. Barbour's crew stayed on the job until completion. He was at the job site daily reviewing the work, he escorted me around the site seeking my observations and on occasion took the paint brush in his hand to preform a task. They cleaned up daily, were industrious and pleasant to be around. They taped extensively so I am not aware of any over-painting. The job was two color and the lines between the colors are crisp and straight. A significant part of the job was painting numerous windows and storm windows each with real wooden pane dividers. They patched all loose and missing caulk and the paint lines on the glass are also straight and crisp. New landscaping around the house had just been completed and the crew was very careful of the new plants. I am not aware of any that were damaged. I priced three painters, CertaPro was higher than one and lower than the other. I did not select the lower priced painter for when he came to the house his vehicle was a disaster with the interior of the truck in complete disarray. Mr. Barbourrs vehicle was clean, had signeage and the interior with numerous painting items was ordered and neat. An indication of the job that CertaPro performed for me. Competent, competitive and reliable, what more could you ask for.

Todd was extremely punctual and polite. The bud was competitive. Had I proceeded with the job he would have received my business.

First off, the painters who showed up to do the actual work were completely unprofessional. They were smoking INSIDE my house (I am NOT a smoker & I have asthma). When I told the workers to stop smoking in my house, they went just outside the open back door & windows so their smoke was still blowing inside my home. I called CertaPro & the company representative spoke with the painters. Apparently, CertaPro has a policy of NO SMOKING on ANY job, but the painters really didn't seem to care much. They would just leave to sit in their truck every 30-45minutes (and I'm pretty sure they still were smoking inside my house when I wasn't home because I found ash & cigarette stubs on my hardwood floors). They also left trash from their lunches in my yard (and I mean all of their lunch trash they just threw in the bushes).
The painters also stole a ladder from my garage and when I told CertaPro that the ladder was missing, the CertaPro representative argued with me. According to him, I had to be mistaken because the ladder I said was mine he had looked at & it was obviously used quite a bit (and had other paint colors on it), so it couldn't have been mine. Well, I may be female, but I can use a ladder and paint just like a guy. Even after I showed him the paint cans in my garage matching the other paint colors on the ladder, he insisted I was making up this accusation. Bottom line: that ladder was mine & was stolen by the painters
As for the quality of the work done; it was awful. They did not fill in any nail holes or sand down any parts of the trim that needed to be sanded. They were also very sloppy and had paint spray all over the glass on the windows, on my hardwood floors around the baseboards, and also ceiling paint was on the walls I had recently painted in the other rooms. When I showed these issues to the CertaPro representative, he just shrugged and stated that it wouldn't be too difficult for ME to clean-up.
By then, I just wanted him out of my house. I told him I would NEVER recommend them to anyone, and if anyone ever mentioned CertaPro's name, I would tell them my horrible experience with them. The representative didn't seem to care and never apologized or asked if there was anything to do to make things better with me. He just stated if that's the way I feel, then that's the way I feel. And then he left.

"We always respond proactively to resolve any issues. In every case. No exceptions. I was able to find the referenced address stated in this review for work performed in 2008, but for a different person. My company regulary phones clients after work is complete to guage overall satisfaction. A professional company is used to solicit candid feedback and we were given a 4 out of 5 three weeks after job completion with a "would refer" recommendation and feedback of, ad I quote: "The people we dealt with communicated well. When we had a problem it was taken care of.". I am surprised that Angie's List allowed this posting without first attempting to contact my company for validation. Again, I am uncertain as to who Ms. Leimbach is and, while the address and timing match a project performed, the comments are completely out of step with our records. I am puzzled as to the motivation for this posting after so long a period of time and would welcome a call to clear any issues. Tom Barbour - Owner"

He did a fabulous job. He was also very reasonable.

Tom did the estimate and I immediately felt that he was the most professional painter that did a bid for our project. He arrived on time and provided me with a computerized bid and professional packet that gave me additional information about the company. He had a very competitive bid for the project and could finish my project in three days. When I contracted him for the job, he allowed us time to chose the colors from the Sherwin Williams store. On the day of the project, he and his crew showed up on time and they complete the project in two days instead of three. I was very pleased with them and would hire them again.

Everything was finished beautifully! Couldn't see any seams in the crown, and the finish on the walls was flawless. Did more finish work than was originally contracted for and at no extra charge because he, "just couldn't leave that undone." They arrived promptly both mornings, wore booties to protect my brand new wood floors, and cleaned up each day of the project. Suggested that we "live" with the paint and observe it from several angles, in different lighting, to make sure there weren't any missed spots. Also offered to return at any time for touch ups, but that wasn't needed. Would definitely have them paint for us again!

They were kind of messy, but they were good. They get it done in a timely manner, and they come back when I ask them to straighten something up. I would recommend them to friends and family members.

"We were happy to have had the opportunity to bid on Member's project. As always, our bids are based on the measured amount of labor and materials that will be used in the areas to be painted. I have found that we are very competetive when measured against other professional painting companies in the area. I would be interested in reviewing whatever information Member has that led him to the comments and grade posted. I will admit that we will not meet bids made by "bucket painters" that sometimes have very little overhead in the way of equipment and personnel, and likely have no insurance and pay no taxes. A good example would be a painter that asks for a large deposit (has bills to pay unrelated to your project), or asks you to buy or provide the paint (the paint store doesn't trust them enough to open an account). Handymen such as these can provide valuable services to some but are not comparable to the painting services offered here at CertaPro. I do not know the details of other bids provided in this case but would be interested in learning more. - Tom Barbour, Owner"
