Color consulting costs:

    • Free to CertaPro Customers

    • $99 for DIYers

 

DIYers can email [email protected] directly to set up a time for a color consultation.

Kate is our staff designer who can help you:

  • computer rendering of painted home
    Kate will do a computer color rendering of your interior or exterior as part of the consultation.

    Choose paint colors that work with your current furnishings so you do not have to order a new sofa to match the color of paint you choose for your walls.

  • Kate can help you choose colors for both your interior and exterior DIY projects.

 

  • Help you discern between different colors in the same family.  If you’ve narrowed your selection to Alabaster White and White Dove, Kate’s trained eye can help you make your final decision.

 

  • Visualize different colors by “painting” photos of your space in different colors.  Kate will provide a computer rendering of colors in the space you’d like to paint.

 

  • Large paint color samples in plum and beige are displayed on a brown wall with checkered curtains
    After your color consultation, Kate will mail you large color samples like these.

    Mail you large (8″ x 11″) color chips of your color choices so you can tape them to your wall and live with them before you make your color final choice(s).

 


DIYers – email Kate at [email protected] to get started.  

She’ll get back to you within one business day.

Out of state?  No problem, Kate can work with you virtually over FaceTime or Zoom.

 

If you’re having CertaPro paint your home using our designer is free.  Just schedule your quote here and let your estimator know you’re interested in having a color consultation.
