CertaPro Painters of Central Bucks

The painters did a great job! They arrived early, were friendly and professional. They got everything done in one day- our entry way and front door. This included 2 story high ceilings. There are a couple of places to touch up, but overall we are super pleased. The only thing that concerned us was that the instructions the painters were given did not match what we had confirmed with the company.

Yes, it went smoothly, a little misunderstanding about shutters, we compromised. But it was great from quote to finish. They were very professional, and cleaned up afterward. Certa pro, painted my 2 story exterior of home. I would definitely recommend, i recommended them to a coworker, and they painted her house also and was happy with result

They caused over $20,000 in damage because they got stain all over my siding (ground level all the way up to the top of the second floor), got stain all over my car, got stain all over my outdoor furniture, and damaged most of the deck's wood with a pressure washer. They were given several attempts to fix the problems, and each time more problems were created. Their insurance company paid roughly $16,000 towards the damage, but they would not cover the damage to the deck because the insurance company considered that workmanship which was not covered under their policy. After the insurance settlement, I am out roughly $5,500 for repairing the deck.

Their estimate was in line with others. Went with them. Process was smooth and there was good communication and follow through which is pretty rare with painting contractors in my experience particularly with smaller jobs like this.

the comp[any was professional in the estimate. the painters were amazing....on time, respectful, cleaned up. the quality of work was outstanding we have hired them already to do a lot more painting

Great. The whole team at Certapro was professional and polite. They did their best fix and answer any concern I had.

I would not consider using anyone else in the future. They were professional, courteous. and their price was very competitive.

My daughter had destroyed the walls and tried to spackle them; she tried to paint the room and did a very poor job. Bedroom is beautiful and everything else was very well done. Joseph arrived on time and did a terrific job. I don't need to shop around for a painter for my next project. These are my go to painters. Well Done!

Initially l I had some issue with the quality of the job. I contacted the owner Jim Welsh and he came right away and was eager to assure the job would be re-done to my satisfaction. The new crew arrived shortly and the job is spectacular. This is why I always choose Certa-Pro. They guarantee the customer is happy. I would use this crew again.

Poor quality. Paid for two coats; they only applied one. Damaged my property.

Prompt reply to inquiry. estimator quoted before he left. I got three bids and they were the lowest by about 25%. Worked was scheduled three weeks after quote and painters showed up on time. Job was completed in 5 days. The painters helped with proper sheens. I specified the wrong finishes but they were willing to adjust.

They did a nice job. It look nice and they got all the dirt and grime off of it. There was probably 5 to 7 days between they stained it. They were very efficient and hardworking.

Painting (mainly spray) of the deck with Sherwin Williams, Deckscapes, Solid, Latex, by two men went well enough, done in less than 2 hours. But 2 coats in less than two hours didn't leave enough time for first coat to dry. Still to early to tell how well it weathers the winter (now Jan 23). In any case $900 for about 200sf of deck plus lattice work railing works out to about $450/hour. Absolutely ridiculous, total rip-off.

They accommodate our needs, always provide tremendous value and make my wife feel very comfortable when they are in our home.

I was not happy with the first job done in my Family Room , and Certa Pro sent another team to get the job done right!!! Doyan and Turan, were EXTREMELY professional, courteous, & meticulous with their work.. Every detail was accurate and precise. They worked extremely hard, and throughout the day only took a 15 minute lunch break,,,,impressive! I will ABSOLUTELY use this Team again. I am absolutely THRILLED with the work they accomplished! and will recommend these gentlemen to all my friends! Thanks Certa Pro for standing by your work. Having to have corrections made from the previous team was a hassle, however, it is evident you care for your customers ! Fine painting done here and Excellent Workers!!

Let me preface this entire statement on the fact that we've had very bad experiences with contractors in the past. First, the painters were very courteous and efficient. We have a fig tree that my husband practically worships, and they wrapped it very carefully. Power washed the first day. Did not return to start painting the next day due to heavy rain. Were slightly delayed the next day, but called and explained they would be a few minutes late. Arrived and started to paint, no messing around, went right to work. No sprayer, they used brushes and rollers! Said they would clean up any paint splatters when the job was completed, which they did. Stowed everything when they were done for the day and arrived on time the 3rd day to apply the second coat. You know, today we've almost come to the point where poor service is expected, and when its otherwise, we are pleasantly surprised. Wouldn't it be nice if every contractor was as good as they claim to be? Let me just say, that I would not hesitate to use this company again, and would recommend them to anyone.

The contract was for two coats on all surfaces. They arrived on time, worked hard, were careful and professional, covering windows and other areas around where they were painting, but after applying one coat they announced that they were finished. When we said that the contract called for two coats they said that "the sprayer applied two coats at once"..... The siding looked awful. The old paint was visible in many places. After several phone calls with the estimater the owner returned from vacation and agreed that they would return and do the second coat. They came back one week later and finished the job. The house now looks very nice. We would have rated them higher if they had done what was agreed to in the contract from the beginning. Their price was very good, much better than the other two estimates. But if we hadn't been there to see what they were doing, we would not have known for sure that they only applied one coat initially.

Overall it was an excellent experience. The gentleman that performed the free estimate was professional and paid attention to what he was doing. He came back quickly with the estimate which was close to what he initially figured it to be. He estimated for both painting and wallpaper removal, but I asked to have him separate the two, which he had no problem doing. I didn't schedule an appointment right away because I didn't have the time and was dealing with many other issues at the time. They contacted me several times if I was happy with the estimate and if I wanted to schedule an appointment in a very polite and respectful way that was not annoying as some other contractors I've worked with in the past have done. When an appointment was scheduled the crew doing the job contacted me well in advance and arrived promptly. The work took them all day as they said it would and they were all professional, nice guys. They went to work and got the job done with no delay. They worled quickly and protected the rooms and floors very well. When it was done it looked great and was ready to paint, as I opted for them just taking down the wallpaper and prepping the walls instead of painting as well. The only minor issue I had was the odor. They used oil based products which really caused a bad smell that lasted throughout the weekend even though it was supposedly "low odor". I would have liked to have known it was going to be such a headache inducing smell to prepare, but overall it was a minor detail. I would definitely recommend them and will most certainly use them again.

This is the sixth project that I've awarded to CertaPro of Doylestown. The reasons that I've used them consistently are simple, but also rare in home improvement: Responsiveness- At all times during the process from my inquiry to completion, my questions and concerns were dealt with immediately, not within days but within hours. Communication is important when you have contractors in your home for three days. Raphael, the foreman, was especially good about setting expectations with my wife about job progress. Workmanship- I used to attempt painting myself. It is quite a difference having a true craftsman complete the work seamlessly. Value- I would imagine many contractors might take advantage of the fact that I'm a previous customer that only is getting one estimate. CertaPro seems to be charging me less as a loyal customer. Warranty- Most companies say that they have a warranty. These guys actually offer to come back every year to inspect their work. One year they actually completely repainted my three outside poles.

On Friday June 14, Certapro's estimator told me a 6 man crew would do the job on Monday June 17 from 8-3. He stood in my family room and said "Great news - the 6 man crew is available Monday - they'll be in and out of here in 1 day. If it's the 3 man crew, it will take 2 days." 3 men showed up, who had very little English speaking skills which made it hard to communicate. They rushed through the job, played loud music when I very nicely asked them to turn it off, and stayed until 6:30, inconveniencing my family tremendously telling me "5 more minutes" for over 2 hours. Martin the owner says his prices have nothing to do with the number of men! What ?!?!?!! The biggest cost of painting that determines the price is the labor cost! Certapro's owner is threatening me with liens unless I pay in full and refuses to negotiate. I never signed the contract, so I am consulting an attorney. DO NOT HIRE CERTAPRO! THERE IS A REASON THEY LITTER OUR ROADWAYS WITH THEIR ADVERTISING SIGNS!

Their quote process was fine. They were very nice. They came out on time.

They do nothing but A+ work and I have no problem with them at all. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

They are very reliable and clean up after themselves. They will come back if there is any touch ups needed. Their work has always been in one day.

They were very good, professional, had a good price, and provided a good service.

From the start, they were very informative and professional, helping with colors and answering all questions. They even showed us how the front would look with multiple colors as well as with different colors. They accomodated my dates and were prompt. They cleaned up well after the job was completed. A few days later, I noticed that some of the pin holes in the stucco were not completely filled with paint. I waited a bit and called Certa Pro to have them look at it and determine if there was a fix for the issue. This was in September 2010. Unfortunately, before I could get it resolved, I was in a serious auto accident in which it took a long while to recover. This September, 2 years later, I called them and asked them to vist with me to look over my issue from the original work. One of their managers, Judd Howard, visited very soon therafter. He looked at the wall and promptly told me they would paint the entire front again and the pin hole issue would be resolved. He made it a high priority and the crew was at my house several days later. They completed the job in two days and it looks great. No pinholes. They certainly lived up to their committment for customer satisfaction. The owner, Martin Bahner, actually emailed me to make certain that I was satisfied.The office emailed me to alert me when the crew would be there and Judd also called me to keep me up to date with weather reports. It was a very pleasant experience, particularly considering the amount of time it took me to get back to them.
