COVID-19 Update
Posted on March 19, 2020
To protect the health of our customers as well as our employees and contractors CertaPro Painters will provide high-fidelity painting project estimates for both interior and exterior work according to these protocols:
Interior:
Provide fully remote estimates until the Governor’s emergency order expires.
- We can use electronic copies of floor plans and/or room measurements provided by the customer.
- Alternatively, we’ll conduct a brief virtual walkthrough with the customer using video calls (e.g, Google Duo, WhatsApp).
Conduct a preparatory phone call to gather information, discuss details of the project and minimize time needed on-site.
- Specific surfaces to be painted (e.g., ceilings, walls, trim), desired outcome (e.g., refresh existing or change colors), any needed repairs.
Optionally perform an on-site estimate conducted with social distancing only after the Governor’s emergency order expires.
- No-touch walkthrough and measurements.
Exterior:
Conduct a preparatory phone call to gather information, discuss details of the project, and minimize time needed on-site.
- Specific surfaces to be painted (e.g., siding, trim, desks/porches), desired outcome (e.g., refresh existing or change colors), needed carpentry repairs.
Perform a “drive-by” estimate with no need for physical customer interaction whatsoever.
Optionally provide fully remote estimates.
- We’ll conduct a virtual walkthrough with the customer using video calls (e.g, Google Duo, WhatsApp).
- Additionally, we’ll collect homeowner photos/videos and information available from the internet (e.g., Zillow).
Additionally:
All proposals will be provided same or next-day.
- We will provide a LIVE proposal review via scheduled remote web conferencing (i.e., Zoom meeting) to ensure everything is accurately recorded, go over various customizations and options, and answer any questions.
- Unless requested otherwise, proposals will be delivered electronically, eliminating the need for exchanging physical proposal materials.
Finally:
All CertaPro Painters® teams are encouraged to follow preventative safety measures, including the following:
- We will clean our hands with soap often, for at least 20 seconds, use hand sanitizer when available, and clean frequently touched surfaces.
- We will keep a safe distance (6 feet) from people who are sneezing/coughing, and stay home when sick.
- Before entering a customer’s property, we will communicate that we’re healthy and ask if our customer is as well.
- Instead of shaking hands we will greet each other verbally without any contact.
- We will not enter the home, and the crew will use off-site bathroom facilities.
As always, we schedule painting projects to be completed at the customer’s request and on a first-come, first-serve basis. We will schedule projects for deferred completion on request.
All daily progress updates will be conducted with proper social distancing and/or via phone and text messaging.
Payment transactions can be made through our on-line secure payment portal that accepts both e-checks and credit cards.
