Minimizing Disruption
We understand the demands of school schedules. That’s why we offer flexible painting options during summer breaks, weekends, and school vacations—minimizing disruptions to students and staff. We also offer evening work at no additional cost.
Color Coding for Better Organization
Color-coded hallways and wings create a vibrant, easy-to-navigate learning environment. This system fosters a sense of belonging—especially for younger students who quickly identify with their assigned color zones.
Using Color Psychology to Support Learning
The right colors can boost mood, focus, and behavior. We recommend using accent colors strategically:
Red: Stimulates energy—great for gyms and active spaces.
Yellow & Blue: Brightens mood and improves focus—ideal for classrooms.
Pink: Calms and soothes—perfect for nurses’ offices.
Orange: Encourages appetite and speed—well-suited for cafeterias.
Durable & Hygienic Paint Solutions
Scuff-Resistant Paint: Ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways. These coatings are tough enough to stand up to heavy wear—even in hockey rinks.
Germ-Killing Paint: Helps reduce germs for up to three years—especially valuable in nurses’ offices and daycare areas.
Lead Paint Abatement
If your facility was built before 1978, it may contain lead-based paint. We are EPA Lead-Safe Certified and can guide you through the abatement process safely and efficiently.

The folks at CertaPro are easy to work with. Everything they do is in an effort to do quality work and earn five star reviews. I will use them again. They painted the interior walls, ceilings, trim, and cabinets.
