Updated Tuesday, March 21: When can CertaPro Painters start my painting?
We’ll start painting exteriors soon! We still have room on our “first of the season” exterior schedule.
Painting projects are scheduled in the order we receive a signed proposal and deposit payment.

As of 3/21/22:
INTERIOR painting projects can start in 4 business days:
We can start about four days after receiving your deposit, colors, and signed proposal.
EXTERIOR painting projects are being quoted now and scheduled for the Spring season:
Our “first of the Spring schedule” still has some room. Depending on the temperatures, we’ll start painting exteriors in early Spring and can quote your project now.
We are still doing carpentry projects (trim, clapboard, siding replacement) as carpentry is not weather-dependent like painting is.
CARPENTRY projects can start in about seven days:
We can start about six days after receiving your deposit – smaller projects can be done even sooner.
Carpentry projects do not depend on warm or cold weather, so we can fix trim and clapboards and install siding in the winter months.
ESTIMATES – times available within one business day.
You’re never more than about 1-day away from being able to meet with one of our estimators.
If you can’t find a convenient time on our online calendar, email [email protected] with a few times that work for you, and Paige will get you right in (she has appointments not available on our online calendar).
To give you an idea of the wait times based on the past 20 years:
Early April: The wait to paint your exterior tends to be about 2-4 weeks.
Mid-late April: The wait to paint your exterior tends to be about 5 weeks.
May: The wait to paint your exterior tends to be about 6 weeks.
June: The wait to paint your exterior tends to be about 4 weeks.
July: Depending on how much rain we’ve gotten in the Spring, we may be caught up or behind – it really depends on Mother Nature.
August: The wait to paint your exterior tends to be about 1 week. Incidentally, August tends to be a great time to paint your exterior because it’s usually so dry in Massachusetts in August.
September-November: The wait to paint is about 1 week.
December-March: The wait to paint is less than 1 week.
