Updated September 20, 2023: When can CertaPro Painters start my painting?
Painting projects are scheduled when we receive a signed proposal and deposit payment.

As of 9/20/23:
INTERIOR painting projects can start in 1week:
We can start about 1-2 weeks after receiving your deposit, colors, and signed proposal.
EXTERIOR painting projects can start in 1 week:
The wait to paint exteriors is about 1 week (weather dependent) – if you need it sooner, we might be able to sneak you in earlier (just ask your estimator to move you ahead in the schedule).
CARPENTRY projects can start in about five 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.

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.
