CertaPro Painters of Northridge-Granada Hills

I recently hired CertiPro Painters for an exterior painting project, including trim and woodwork, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! Everyone was amazing. John and Ramon were professional, and their bid was comprehensive and competitive. The crew, Alejandro, and his team were absolutely excellent from start to finish. They were courteous and professional and paid incredible attention to detail. The team took great care to prepare the surfaces properly, ensuring a flawless finish that has truly transformed the look of my home. They worked efficiently while maintaining a high standard of quality, and their professionalism was evident in every interaction. I highly recommend CertiPro Painters and Alejandro’s team to anyone seeking top-notch painting services. They exceeded my expectations and impressed me with their craftsmanship and dedication to customer satisfaction. Thank you for a job well done!

I had an awesome experience with Certa Pro Paintings. From the first step, they came to my home, gave me the best estimate price, then communicated via written email detailed list of their expected work, time frame and answering all my questions. They sent all the legal documents of their company. Then for 4 days as promised they finished the job. They came exactly on time. They kept the area tidy and clean and at the end with job well done, the area was completely orderly. I cannot express my gratitude enough. Having work done at our property is hectic enough. But having a well trusted, professional company like Certa Pro do the job with no drama, smooth sailing, clean and fast is a blessing. Thank you.

We hired CertaPro Painters and are happy to say it was a perfect contractor experience from beginning to end. They gave us the best price quote, there were no problems, delays, or up charges. The crew was excellent, clean, neat, perfect communication. John really runs his business with pride, good old customer service, and reliability. He also worked with me quite a bit to try to help me with colors. The house and patio cover came out excellent. We were pleasantly surprised to have such a professional and smooth experience. We highly recommend John Villar’s Certa Pro.

John, Servando, and their team were great. Very professional (from beginning to end) and responsive to all our questions. The quote provided to us was detailed and consistent with the project itself. The price was reasonable and I'm pleased with the results. They are definitely recommended.

John, Luis, Anthony, Martin and Carlos are the best! They were very, very nice and helpful. They were very understanding and took extra precautions because of an active bird nest in our patio eaves.... and even came back to paint after the baby birds left the nest. They were very conscientious about their work and took pride in it. What a GREAT team!!! Loved the work!!!

The CertaPro team was punctual and most professional. John and his team were very safety conscious and the quality of the work performed was excellent. The job was completed as promised. I would definitely hire again should the need arise.

We are very pleased with the results of the painting of our house in Chatsworth. Communication before the work started was excellent and once the team started the communication with Bruno on a daily basis was excellent as well. The team responded well to any questions or requests for touch ups. All in all the quality of the work was excellent and they had to work in difficult circumstances too! A heatwave and Covid. We could not be happier with the results.

From start to finish John’s team of professional painters delivered. It was a pleasure to work with Robert (job supervisor) on a daily bases.

The minute we met John we knew is was a "go". His team were on time..worked hard..were very nice to work with. I never knew the house would look so good after a new paint job..He is a keeper and will use him again.....Robert and Jose are priceless..

We just bought our new home and needed some interior paint work done. We reached out to a few companies and individuals looking for a high rated company with great reviews and within our budget. We found CertaPro on Yelp & Angies List and saw that they were local and had great reviews, after a couple of phone calls and meetings we decided to go with them since they were responsive, had great attention to detail and most importantly were very fair with their pricing. We ended up needing additional work while they were on-site and John was able to help us with the pricing and they were able to take care of anything else that we needed. I highly recommend these guys and will use them in the future.

I have to say that working with CertaPro has been an absolute pleasure. Probably the single best experience I’ve ever had working with contractors. We had them paint the complete exterior and trim of our house and it just looks amazing. Their attention to detail was impressive and instrumental in bringing our vision to life. Their crew was second to none. I highly recommend working with them!

We just had the exterior of our house painted & it looks fabulous! A couple of years ago the CertaPro team also painted the interiors which continue to look great. It really has been a pleasure to work with John Villar & his team on both projects. The process from start to finish went so well each time - great people, professional & such precise painting. We much appreciate all John's team did to make our home beautiful inside & out!

We had the exterior of our house and garage painted recently. John, Tony and the job supervisor, Angel, were all professional, punctual and attentive to our wants. The job was projected to take about 4 -5 days and that's exactly what it took. The results are wonderful - we couldn't be happier. We had already known going in what our color scheme would be but a fresh coat always brings new life to the house. If we ever have future painting needs we'll definitely reach out again to John and his crew.

I can’t say enough good things about John and his CertaPro team. After a nightmare experience with another contractor, I was hesitant to bring anyone else into my home. I explained my bad experience to John and he immediately put me at ease, explaining every single thing they would be doing and how long it would take. His team came to work on time, ensured everything was thoroughly covered before starting (and cleaned up afterwards), and were courteous to my home and family. I enjoyed having them there and was happy with the transformation in my home. They were friendly, kind and made me feel like they respected my house like it was their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CertaPro to anyone looking for a professional job at a fair cost. Thanks so much to John, Angel and Fernando. CertaPro = awesome.

John Villar CertaPro Painters As I approached finding a painter for two painting projects I felt confident in my abilities based on my five prior house painting experiences. Out of all of the bids and interactions John Villar Took the most time and was the most accommodating of all. He had to meet with me on two occasions and my wife on the third to select the color and finalize our agreement. John was extremely patient and professional and had to revise the bid at least three times for additional painting. At the time of our initial consultation we were under a very tight timeline and budget. Regrettably we did not contract CertaPro painting in our current residence which will be a rental. Due to our time and budgetary restrictions this was our best option at the time but time will tell. You get what you pay for! Our painting job began as scheduled and after John was accommodating to move his original scheduled start time because of flooring contractors needed the dates. Phil Schatkowski, the foreman/site supervisor met with my wife and I, listen to all of our concerns and questions regarding the job. Throughout the majority of the painting I was on site outside and was with an ear shot of the crew the entire time. I could hear how Phil‘s direct and gentle management style with his subordinates worked. I soon realized the complexity of our painting job, we had many dark colors that had to be converted to light pastel colors. I constantly heard and saw Phil taking extra care with his preparation and to my knowledge not one spill occurred. Phil and his supervisor Tony were extremely accommodating when an unplanned electrical contractor conflicted with his space and time and caused additional patch and repair. Throughout the entire process I do not believe that our level of communication could have gotten any higher and I felt comfortable in understanding the progression of the job and it’s intricacies. Phil and his entire crew, Fernando, Angel, David and a few others treated my house with dignity and respect. At the completion of the job Phil walked over every square inch of every room and worked until the last second he had to make this job as close to perfection as possible. I had a house cleaner one time and she asked me to forgive her for her OCD, I told her when are you coming back. I like a supervisor who has those qualities when I contract them to do such detailed work. Phils 30 years of painting experience showed through the entire job and I could hear him guiding, supervising and teaching at the same time. I would like to thank everyone in this crew for their professionalism and commitment to excellence in their work. We own two rental properties in Valencia and John of CertaPro will be the first we will call on our next painting project.

Very well. Excellent job, I'd hire them again.

The entire experience from start to finish was a complete customer service oriented operation with very professional, friendly, and helpful personnel. John provided a reasonable estimate and provided thorough insight into every phase of the process. Fernando (28 years experience) and his crew addressed every question and concern that we had. Moreover, they always arrived on time and cleaned-up afterward. We were greatly pleased with their service and attention to detail and will use them again for painting the interior of our house.

I was very pleased. John came out and gave us an estimate. The price was right on target for a job of this kind. John told us he would be able to paint the rooms within the next couple of weeks and kept in touch with us to let us know how his schedule was going in terms of when he would be able to schedule us in. We locked in a date about five days or so ahead of time, which gave us plenty of time to remove pictures, etc., to prepare for painting. John's associate Tony sent out Dan and Phil to paint the rooms. I was very impressed with the care they took in moving furniture out of the way and covering it up during the painting process. We had the ceiling painted also, so they actually dismantled the ceiling fans in each room (and later put them back together!) in order to protect everything. Great attention to detail! Great cleanup job! And most importantly, my rooms look great! I will definitely be calling on CertaPro Northridge for future paint jobs.

The crew was extremely nice and professional. Dan who was the lead crewman for the painting of our home, addressed every concern I had. He also went above and beyond expectation. When I met John for the original estimate he was very professional, kind, and helpful. When my husband and I had a difficult time deciding on colors I called John in a panic and he literally arrived in minutes. Our home looks amazing! Nakia Gavino

John Villar gave a very professional overview of his company and their values, and offered a competitive price for the work. We thought the job would be well done but sadly this wasn't the case. 1. We understood that the work would probably start around the first week of September 2017. However, the date kept being moved back until September 25th which meant we had to push back other work we had arranged to have done. I felt we were being squeezed in between other bigger jobs. 2. Overall the work was sloppy: - Hardened paint drips were found on surfaces. - Paint was discovered on bedding and various pieces of furniture. I showed the head painter the bedding but did not find the the furniture paint stains until they had finished and gone. - One area which was to be painted had a varnished surface which required a special undercoat so the varnish wouldn't seep through the paint. The head painter said he had not been told about this and seemed concerned about the at the extra work required. - Although the contract stated "Fill cracks & holes in walls", we were told that small imperfections (smaller than holes) in the the painting surface were not covered and were even more visible after the surface had been painted. Also we found a wall crack in one of the bedroom walls after they had left, which had not been repaired but painted over. - Finally, there seemed to be a rush to finish which probably accounted for the inside door frames of 2 kitchen doors had different tints of paint, the original white gloss and a darker tint paint color, also sloppily finished. This is very noticible since the doors leading into the kitchen are usually kept open. The inside frame surfaces should have been left alone instead of having two different paint tints. - They offered to come back and fix problems, but it was difficult to get a suitable date since it required waiting until the Supervisor returned from a vacation. Also besides being very behind with other projects, we didn't want paint dropped on anything else, especially new floors!

Very well! They started and finished a week before Thanksgiving - a feat I wasn't sure would be possible. Very neat job and reliable work crew. Really thorough walk-through and prompt estimate, very much appreciated. Competitive pricing - all went well! Thanks, guys.

John Villar, Northridge CertaPro owner, came out for an estimate, and discussed every detail of the paint job that would be completed. He was such an informative gentleman and very patient in answering our questions. The proposal he sent within a few days was precisely detailed with everything we discussed. The contract addressed every aspect of the service to be provided, and this made us confident in the job and the cost. The team of painters was friendly, neat, and explained the plans for each day. Their hard work was evident in the amount of prep work they did, the attention to detail, and their eagerness to please us. The paint job on our home’s exterior was the best we have had, We are thrilled with all aspects of the work, the genuine pride of workmanship in the painters, and the integrity of the owner. We highly recommend them.

Outstanding. They were all complete professionals from start to finish. Arrived on-time every day and did an outstanding job while being completely unobtrusive, no loud talking or radios blasting away. Completely focused on the task at hand.

The owner, John conducted the site visit and prepared the estimate in a timely manner. The job, including some wood and stucco repairs were professionally completed.

Great! Of all the quotes I got for this project, John was the only one who actually took measurements and gave me a reasonable estimate. The painters were on time, did exactly what was in the contract, and finished in the time frame they said. John and crew are probably the most professional group that has ever done work on my house. I'd definitely use them again!
