Outstanding job! What more is there to say? We collected four separate quotes and while we were looking at price, more importantly we were looking at quality and knowledgeability in terms of painting stucco. I had done some research about what type of paint should be used but Adam, who I worked with, discussed the positives and negatives of that type of product. He finally sold me with his experience, confidence in product and quality of crews. Boy was he right on! He knew what we needed and I'm sure I would've made a huge mistake if I'd gone a different route like some other companies encouraged me to do. Even 2 years later my house looks like it was freshly painted and I'm so impressed as I drive up my own driveway! I will hire them again and again! Some people think price determines quality of job, I think experience, reviews, quality of crews, and overall knowledge in the area determines a happy customer. A++

They were okay to work with. The salesmen came out to give us a quote and a timeframe of how long it would take however, it was different than what the project manager said. It took them four days to complete the job and there did not seem to be enough painters on the job. There were only 3-4 people here doing the work but the results are fine.
Description of Work: They painted about half of the interior house for us.

Certa pro came out for a consultation. They were very professional. After deciding to get my room painted, I was given a paint coupon for Sherwin Williams to get some sample paint. After I still couldn't decide on color, they offered a free color consultation. I was then able to select a color that I liked. The actual painting of the room was excellent! I just love it and can't stop looking at the walls. I am very pleased and would highly recommend them for their services.

Painters arrived on time, painted trim, cleaned up, and were waiting for us to come back so we could walk through it with them and make a payment. We had not noticed during that walk through that they missed the back part of a railing near our porch. There was no problem they came back out to paint that one area. All in all they were very responsive and I would use again

Sent my deposit for agreed work in late July had to call them in August and finally got a response late August that job would be done in early September. Due to weather they did not start job until third week of September. Once they started job they were polite and cleaned up work area at end of day but I noticed the name on their shirts and their truck was not Certa Pro.. When finished I did a quick look over and looked OK, also asked about the second coat and they said they do both coats at same time (I am not an expert but how do you do two coats at the same time??). After they left I took a closer look and found four (4) areas (small but noticeable) that were missed. Called sales representative late August and again in late October. Finely spoke with him in early November and explained issue, he said they will take care of it. Called last week (November 26) for status, left message, no call back yet even though as part of my message stated call me or a review will go on Angie's List. I could fix areas myself but that is why I hired them. Also I wonder how they missed the same four spots when I was told they do two coats. Price was good but not happy with final result (missed spots).

This job was completed in Mid September. We followed up by phone and email. We were paid and marked the job completed. On 9-25-13 [member name removed] submitted an independant on line survey and rated his experience with our company and service as a 9 out of 10 rating. Initial follow up on the job revealed that he was happy with the result and we judged that a job site inspection was not needed. We did not receive other communication from [member name removed] regarding the job after September 25th and considered him a satisfied customer. We encouraged [member name removed] to post comments on Angies list. When his negative rating was posted on December 3, I was at his house the next day. I met him, determined there were a couple of touch ups. These were completed just hours after my visit. This job was properly 2 coated by my original crew. The touch ups were visible on cloudy day and were just above the ground on 2 spots including one behind the gas meter. I think the crew masked off the gas meter to paint the stucco arround it. They painted the stucco behind the meter but it didn't cover. Its the kind of touch up I might have missed on a sunny day. I wish we could always paint jobs correctly the first time! The paint job looks really good. After his positive internal review we thought the job was finished. We always offer to inspect our jobs and as soon as [member name removed] posted a report it was corrected within 24 hours. Our crews always inspect their work, but if a customer sees something and contacts us we will always take care of it. We also warranty the work for 2 years. In this case I'm not sure the Angies Rating is representitive of our performance in this instance. We communicated before, during and after the job and did not have any reason to assume there were any loose ends. Reports like this that always keep us vigilant to be responsive to our clients. I hope that by responding to [member name removed] so quickly that he will consider using CertaPro for a future interior or exterior project. I am sorry he feels there was some lack of communication.

We had an ugly ceiling in the house we bought, it had tile and fake would beams on it. The previous owner glued everything on so if we would have removed it we would had to re-drywall it. The ceiling is about 14 ft up so we could not do the work ourselves and re-dry walling was very expensive. We decided to paint it all one color and hope it would blend in. The gentleman that did the work did a great job. He finished the work in about 4 hours and everything looks great.

We painted [Members name removed] exterior in 2012. She contacted me in 2013 and said she hated the color that she had selected for the front door. I paid for a color consultant to meet her and discuss door colors. We realized there was another house where she liked the door color. Our consultant matched the color and confirmed it with [Members name removed]. We repainted the door at almost cost to make sure [Members name removed] was satisfied. She said that she will consider us for an interior job when she is ready. Thanks for the business! Glad we could help.

The work took longer than expected and we had to follow up numerous times to get them to completion. The finished product looks great but they required too much follow up. After the initial painting, they ordered our shutters and were to return to complete install and touch ups. It took 4-5 phone calls and over 3 weeks from original house painting to complete the touch ups and shutters. Again, finished product looks terrific.

The initial work was completed in about 4 days. When I was at the estimate we realized that several shutters were broken and needed to be replaced. We offered to order the shutters and install them after the paint job was completed. 3 things delayed the shutter component of the job being completed in a more timely manner. 1. The shutters took longer than expected to arrive when ordered 2. We completed the paint job, but the customer was then on vacation for a week after so we could do a final walk through. 3. We painted the shutters, then rain and cold delayed the job until our carpenter installed the shutters. The paint job looks great. A crew who has worked for us for over 14 years painted the job. Thanks for the business and sorry we could receive an A on this one.

The company was fairly price-competitive from the beginning. They were easy to work with and quick to reply. The crew of 4-5 guys did the job in about 3 work days. Each day they left everything cleaned up and looking nice. As the main color dried, it just didn't look right to us. We panicked a little and reached out to the project manager Joe about this. His response was very reasonable and he seemed willing to work with us to get it right. As it turned out, once the trim and accent colors were in place, everything looked great and we didn't need to change any colors after all. But their responsiveness to the idea of a possible change was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend this company based on our experience.
Description of Work: 2 coats of a new color on the entire exterior of our 2700 SF home. Also painted the exterior of our two story 2-car detached garage and 2 wood decks/balconies. This job included painting wood windows, gutters/downspouts, wires/boxes, etc. They used good Sherwin-Williams paint.

[member name removed] was a great client to work for. He asked a lot of good questions at the estimate. His start date kept moving later while we waited for his siding contractor to finish. Color was important to [member name removed] and I'm glad the color worked out. Thanks for your business.

Description of Work: Repainted a bathroom and hall after another company painted without the advice about color choices they had promised resulting in an unacceptable color. Certa Pro was VERY prompt, extremely helpful making color choices- even included a coupon to enable me to buy a sample of the paint I was considering. A person was always available for counsel when I called to ask questions. The painter was swift, careful and cleaned up well.

Excellent service. Willing to work with the timing of the construction of the new room and surrounding area - willing to paint the exterior before patio was laid, then willing to do the interior prior to floor installation. Very responsive, and painters were very professional and personable. Would definitely hire them again for future painting projects..

Quality / efficient work by an experienced crew. Excellent customer service from the owner (Dan Goodman) and his staff. I would recommend them to friends and utilize their services in the future. As an architect, I am not easily satisfied . . . just ask Dan : ) I graded them a 'B' (should actually have been an A-) for "QUALITY" only because I had to call them back for some touch up work (which they took care of the following day).

They were very responsive and professional. Each call was returned promptly, and emails answered timely. They had to delay a few days due to rain but were pretty much on schedule. They were several hundred dollars under another company that we were originally going to go with but who kept pushing our service out for several months. Certa pro came in and did a much quicker job than the other company could even come close to. I really appreciate their professionalism and the responsiveness.

I will not be using them, and will not ever consider using them in the future due to price.
Description of Work: The provider came out and quoted painting a master bedroom, trim, window and the interior of a garage. The quote came to $2200. This was more than double what two other companies quoted me. The gentleman who came out was punctual and professional, but their "great services" cannot be worth double. Sorry.

Response from CertaPro Painters of Columbus
This was a rush project outside Columbus to be started within 48 hours of estimate and had to be completed within 3 days of starting because the customer was moving in asap. I was able to schedule this appointment within 24 hours of the request. After I presented my estimate we determined that I had included more work than the other 2 estimates. I was full priming all burgandy walls and stained trim. Finishing all unfinished drywall in a large garage. All my extras added $550 over the other estimates. When all this is considered they were doing less work and less coats and I was $500 higher. Both other painters were painting the job themselves and had been referred by the relator. I have given over 10,000 estimates in my career and I know my prices are competitive. So I was disappointed with receiving an F on price.

Overall, they did a fine job painting. The reason I marked them down was communication. First, contract set in advance with approximate start date mid-June. I had to contact them as mid-June arrived and I hadn't heard about a start date. On the date the powerwasher was supposed to show, they didn't; again, I called to see what was up and when they were going to come. The painters used my previous shutter paint, then proceeded to take the leftover paint with them. Again, I had to call to get the leftover paint returned (hello - I may need to colormatch). All that being said, they were responsive when I did call.

The painters arrived before the agreed upon start time, but did not ring doorbell until the exact start time. Ray and his assistant worked diligently throughout the day and were professional from start to finish. The job they did is beyond excellent. Not a drop of paint on anything. I highly recommend CertaPro Printers and do not intent to use any other company for further painting jobs.
