FAQS

What types of paint do you use?

CertaPro Painters® primarily uses high-quality paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. They also offer eco-friendly options, including low and zero VOC paints, to meet specific customer preferences. ​

Do you offer a warranty for your painting services?

Yes, CertaPro Painters® provides a limited two-year warranty on most residential painting projects, covering issues like peeling, blistering, or chipping due to workmanship. Some exclusions may apply, so it's advisable to discuss warranty details during your estimate. ​

Are your painters insured?

Absolutely. CertaPro Painters® carries full general liability, workers' compensation, and umbrella insurance coverage to ensure the safety and protection of both clients and staff. ​

How long will my paint job last?

The longevity of a paint job depends on various factors, including surface preparation, climate, and exposure to elements. On average, exterior paint jobs last between 5 to 10 years, while interior paint can last longer with proper maintenance. ​

Do I need to be home while the painting is being done?

Not necessarily. Many CertaPro Painters® customers choose to provide access to their property and go about their day. As long as the crew has what they need, they can work independently and will keep you updated on progress throughout the project.
