Tell us About Your Project Back

Learn from our experience painting at dozens of schools and colleges:

Painting over summers, on weekends, or over school vacations is easiest on the staff and students:

We understand that the timeline of your painting projects is tight so we work over school vacations, nights or weekends, so we don’t interrupt the work of your students and faculty.  Vacation and weekend work is done at NO extra charge.

Think about color-coding distinct wings in your school.  This works great to delineate the art wing from the music wing, or to give whole grades their own colors.

Color coding works especially well in daycares and elementary schools where children can feel a sense of pride as they get older and become part of the “Yellow wing.”

Use color to manage the energy in each area or classroom.

While we’d never encourage you to paint whole classrooms in the following colors, using color as accents can help you manage student behavior:

Since red is a stimulating color, consider accenting your gymnasiums with it.

Yellow helps release serotonin for a better mood, so it can be used along with blue which enhances alertness in the classroom.

Pink is soothing and has even been shown to reduce heart rate – a great accent color for a nurse’s office.

Orange increases appetite and encourages speed – a great accent color for a cafeteria where kids usually need to eat their lunch a small window of time.

Scuff-resistant paint:

We recommend using scuff-resistant paint in high-traffic areas where students bump and lean against walls.  These paints are so durable, they’re used in hockey rinks!

Germ-killing paint:

To prevent the spread of illness, CertaPro Painters can apply a paint that kills germs for about three years.  This cuts down on constant washing and cleaning and is great for daycares and nurses’ offices where germs are prevalent.

Does your school contain lead paint?

Many buildings and homes built before 1978 contain lead paint.  If you suspect your school contains lead paint, Massachusetts requires schools to hire a lead-certified painter.  CertaPro Painters is a lead-safe renovator, and can help you safely plan a project where lead paint may be present.

Budgeting your school’s painting project:

We encourage you to call us at this stage – even if the painting is a long way off.  We can provide accurate quotes that you can use in your budgeting process.  Don’t guess – allow us to get you a firm price.


If you have any questions about interior or exterior painting of your school, daycare or college, call Dave at (781) 422-1018 or email him at [email protected].  We’re happy to help you even if you’re just in the budgeting phase and won’t be painting for some time.

If you have questions about commercial painting projects, see our commercial painting frequently asked questions page or give us a call at 781-422-1018.

Check out our Painting to Acoustic Tiles in Drop Ceilings

Painting to Acoustic Tiles in Drop Ceilings

We restore stained acoustic ceiling tiles in your drop ceiling using a coating formulated with sound-absorbing qualities. This way, the ceiling looks clean and fresh, and the noise reduction qualities of the tiles are not compromised. Coating a stained drop ceiling is much less expensive than replacing the ceiling.

Brick Painting and Staining

We paint and stain exterior or interior brick surfaces. The decision to paint your brick is not easily reversible, so we'll help you decide if painting over your brick is the right decision for you. Most often, painting brick makes homes look & feel less "industrial" and more, well, like a home.

Check out our Graffiti Removal

Graffiti Removal

It's important to remove graffiti and vandalism as soon as it happens. Otherwise, graffiti tends to keep attracting more vandalism. Our crews can remove graffiti on most surfaces using state-of-the-art solvents. And if we need to repaint the area after the graffiti is removed, we can do that too using an anti-graffiti coating that washes off with water.
