Arvada Chamber of Commerce Spotlight

Posted on October 19, 2021

Recently our owners Bob and Teri Workman sat down with the Arvada Chamber of Commerce to chat about their business and the painting industry. CertaPro Painters® of Arvada got its start in 2009 and has since continued to flourish.

What were some of the struggles of entering the painting industry?

kitchenBoth Bob and Teri came from work backgrounds outside of the painting industry. Their biggest lesson was learning to navigate this change. According to Terri, one of their biggest hurdles was “just learning the business because neither one of us were painters. The franchise helped move things on a little bit faster. But we had to go out and talk to people and learn what they needed.”

According to Bob, “I learned that running a $38 million production facility is a lot different than running a $1 million painting company. In the corporate world, if you make mistakes, somebody else is writing the check. If you make a mistake, you’re writing the check.”

What sets CertaPro Painters® of Arvada apart from other local companies?

“I think it’s personal attention because as owners we are the ones that show up when the job is being done and if somebody has an issue, there’s an owner showing up. I’m the one taking the crew out there to make sure the job is done,” said Bob. They take pride in keeping homes in the local community look their best through professional painting services.
