CertaPro Painters® of Boulder & Longmont: Locally Owned and Operated Since 1998
CertaPro Painters® of Boulder and Longmont has been locally owned and operated since 1998. Current owner, Bob Schneider, has lived in the area since 2011 and acquired the business in 2015. Bob has always been passionate about his community and local business, so when the opportunity arose to purchase the Boulder and Longmont CertaPro Painters® territory, it seemed like a perfect fit as Bob came from a background in private equity, where he evaluated businesses prior to acquisition. Since assuming ownership of CertaPro Painters® of Boulder and Longmont, Bob has been busy providing residential and commercial painting services to hundreds of homeowners and business owners throughout the region.
The business has grown significantly since 1998 as a result of hard work, superior service, a great team and an unwavering commitment to clients’ satisfaction. According to Bob, “Having been serving our local communities for almost 25 years now, it’s really fun to be painting places for a second time. A key to our growth and success and delivery a quality product through a smooth process by a highly capable and considerate team of people. We do various marketing/advertising, but the majority of our business and growth continues to come from repeat customers and word of mouth from satisfied clients!”
Being a business owner comes with great rewards and sometimes a few challenges. Bob cites his amazing team as the primary rewards, “Getting to be a part of the growth and development of great people (my teammates!). The most rewards part of the job is knowing that I had a small part in guiding/facilitating people in achieving their goals.” Some of the challenges are in keeping up with demand during the busy season. “The seasonality of the business can be hard to manage at times. There is never enough time in the day during the busy season! Everyone on our team is extremely driven, motivated and competitive, so we have to remind each other it’s a good thing to take a break and a vacation every once in a while!”
Bob has also been passionate about giving back to the community and has supported several charities, two of which are Foothills Gateway and A Precious Child. Foothills Gateway empowers individuals with disabilities to lead lives of their choice. A Precious Child assists children and families facing difficult life challenges such as abuse and neglect, crisis situations and poverty.
