George and his crew are currently 3/4 of the way through painting and restoring various parts of our exterior. I can highly recommend them for their services. They are courteous, clean and detailed with painting our home. We own an old Vicky with some ornamentation. George helped us with choosing a color scheme, advising which colors hold up the best. He and Suzanne are always available to answer questions and concerns. A very fine and professional outfit, indeed.

We needed help with the exterior of our home which was peeling badly, so we knew a reputable firm would be necessary to get the job done right. George explained all the work that needed to be done, scheduled the time out and continued to check in as the job progressed. Johnny the manager and his team were organized, diligently scraped and sanded the aging exterior, answered many questions and were very neat and clean. We are happy and proud to look at our house now.

Very positive experience. Price was good relative to other bids received. Quote was received very quickly. Crew on site was professional, courteous and responsive. Any questions or issues were addressed immediately with no problems. Attention to detail in the actual painting was very good (e.g., edges of trim were painted completely and drips of trim color on siding were cleaned off). They cleaned up at the end of each day, stored their materials in designated area, and cleaned up entire site well at the end of the job. They even washed the windows to remove all dust and dirt from project. A pleasant surprise. In short, they did exactly what they said they were going to do. On budget. On time. Anyone looking for painters, hire these guys!
Description of Work: Painted exterior of multi-story home. Work included power washing, scraping and sanding surfaces, repairing/replacing damaged siding, priming, and two coats of paint (siding) or stain (wood shingles).

I was generally satisfied, might have given them a A- if it was offered as a score. I am not sure any painters would rate a perfect rating, but these guys did the job and were clean and timely. It is very important to communicate expectations with your on-site guy. Painting goes fast so you can't really sit on any issues. They were quite responsive to articulated needs. I did the paint selection, so don't know about that service.

Doesn't seem like they are organized to serve Marin, and if they screw up a simple consult appointment (how many phone calls does it take to make *and keep* an appointment with this company?!), I figure best to look elsewhere. Potential nightmare ahead when scheduling actual work.
Description of Work: I called CertaPro painters based on the ads and ratings I'd seen in the Angie's List monthly magazine. I used the number featured in the ad (650 area code) and left a message with the receptionist on Feb 16th to make an appointment for the following week (Monday, Feb 23rd). I later received an e-mail from this receptionist indicating that their franchise service was not available for my area (Marin), and a rep for the San Francisco franchise would call me to schedule. Later that same morning, I spoke with Fernando (CertaPro San Francisco) and he scheduled my appointment for 9 am Feb 23rd with George Irving. Around Friday, I received another call from a CertaPro franchise (Berkeley) telling me they were responsible for the Marin area, but couldn't meet with me on Monday morning at 9 am. I declined to schedule time with them (since I hadn't heard anything otherwise from Fernando, and I had already arranged my work schedule to meet with George on Monday morning). On Monday morning, at 8:30, I received a call from Fernando telling me that George had double-booked his time that morning and wouldn't be able to meet with me until later in the week. At this point, I thought of all the Angie's List articles I've read on paying attention to professionalism early in the process when getting bids, and decided not to use CertaPro for my painting job.

Response from CertaPro Painters of San Francisco
Hello [removed member name], I remember speaking to you a few weeks ago. As you may know, CertaPro Painters is a nationwide franchise, and each franchise is given a specific territory in which to do business. Unfortunately Mill Valley falls under the umbrella of the Berkeley franchise, and all appointments must be booked through their office. As our systems are not interconnected, there is no way for us to tell when a client from one region has been assigned to another branch. We truly regret we weren't able to reschedule something for you. I sincerely apologize for the mix-up, and hope that whichever painting company you choose is able to provide you with an excellent painting job. -Fernando

Lydia the Residential Sales Associate was great. She was responsive to my calls and emails and was very professional. The paint consultant, can't remember her name, blew off our consulting appointment. That was frustrating as I took time off of work for her no-show. The actual painters did an okay job. I was disappointed with some aspects of their work. They did not tape off windows nor hardwood stairs so when they painted baseboards and window trim, there was no nice, clean line. Paint got on my windows (which are hard to reach so a pain in he neck effort for me to razor off) and on my hardwood stair treads. Shame about that. Wish they'd taken the time to tape, then this could have been a pretty positive review.
Description of Work: Request was to paint stairwell - walls, ceiling and trim.

They were very knowledgeable about the painting issues I had with my house, they were honest about their inability to do some painting in the back, and they referred me to a company that could do the work which was helpful. Furthermore, the price was good, and they did a great job without leaving a mess.

We live in San Francisco's Outer Sunset district, 10 blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Strong winds and storms, fog, salt air. House built in 1939. We had a bad experience with another, cheaper, painting company years ago. We then found CertaPro and really appreciate working with true professionals. When issues arise -- and they always arise on projects like these, no matter who you're working with -- they're resolved equitably and smoothly. George always makes us feel like everything will work out fine ... and it does. Prices are competitive with other companies that do excellent work and pay living wages and benefits for employees. We've now worked with George and the crew at CertaPro San Francisco on 3 major projects between 2006 and 2014, interior and exterior. Their service and work are consistently excellent. We are extremely picky in the results we're looking for -- and they always satisfy. The CertaPro crews have always been professional, courteous, detail-oriented, and the results have always been amazing. The crews protect outdoor landscaping plants and interior furnishings, and clean up at the end of each day. The invoices match the original quote, any changes are documented, there are no surprises. -May 2014: Most recently they painted our newly remodeled kitchen: walls, molding, and trim. They repaired window trim and door jambs, filled holes, caulked around new cabinets, etc. etc. etc. They'll be back to touch up when the kitchen remodel is completed in a few week. Their work looks great. -May 2012: We had 23 new replacement windows installed; CertaPro took care of the finishing. Some windows were wood that needed to be stained to match existing woodwork; others needed to have trim repaired and painted. The wood on some window sills was damaged: sun faded and water stained. These guys did an amazing job of refinishing the old wood sill, then matching the existing stain for the new windows and frames. Paint on the other windows, indoor and outdoor, was perfect. -February 2010: A small job, they fixed a home painting project that went bad. Oil-based paint on interior steps, cold weather -- they stripped everything we had done and made it right. Looking good 4 years later. -May 2006: The exterior of our house was painted, using 8 colors. It seems that half of the their time was spent for preparation: repairing stucco, cleaning, etc. It was a big job, took about 2 weeks, and still looks good 8 years later. Bottom line: we like working with CertaPro in San Francisco; the do great work; we'll undoubtedly use them again in the future. We highly recommend them.
Description of Work: -May 2014: interior: Painted kitchen remodeled walls and molding, filled and finished doorjamb, molding, window trim. -May 2012: Refinished woodwork around newly installed windows; painted other new replacement window trim: interior and exterior. -February 2010: Fixed a small interior painting job we screwed up. -July 2006: Painted exterior of house.

Excellent. George worked closely with the contractor to schedule his timing. Part of this job was covered by insurance and part of it wasn't. Great about giving us two proposals. George adhered to his schedule and did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend him and use him again.

Certa-Pro's color consultant provided great suggestions on color combinations, the owner explained how colors were historically combined on a Victorian, and the crew foreman checked in with us about the colors as they went up and made adjustments when we asked. The result - our house is perfect - quirky, unique, and lovely. I couldn't have asked for a better crew.
Description of Work: Certa-Pro painted the exterior of our Victorian house, which has lots of gingerbread and was badly in need of new paint. My Certa-Pro crew was thorough, careful, and neat. They used all the protection required to prevent the spread of lead paint as they scraped the house, were watchful of the neighboring houses touching ours, and cleaned up every day. They used sealant and primer to make sure the paint would last, and were precise in applying the paint in all the nooks and crevices.

The CertaPro Painters of San Francisco were very, very good. They were very nice. They gave me 5 different estimates. They had the best price and the quality was excellent. They were on time. They did the job in 8-10 days. What was really nice about them was that they honored a discount if you would do Angie's List and those are the certain things that you won't forget.
