Painting in the age of COVID-19

Posted on April 6, 2020

Like all responsible businesses who are deemed essential and are cautiously continuing to operate, we are working hard to increase safety for our customers, staff, and painters while using all of the resources, technology, and tools at our disposal to keep our business healthy. Our hearts go out to the health care workers, first responders, food supply chain workers and all other members of our community who are stepping up to win this battle together.

You may be asking, why is it important for painters to be painting right now? Painting has been categorized as an essential service as it is tied to the real estate market which is in essence… human habitation. Water intrusion, which painting & caulking prevents, generally leads to wood rot and other damage which is important to avoid. This allows you to protect the value of, what is for some, their largest asset.

So if you find yourself in need of an exterior painter in order to manage your “habitat,” whether it is ready to sell, or you need to paint to increase the protection of the exterior surfaces of your home, we are here to help. Here are a few ways CertaPro Painters of Indianapolis, your local painting professionals, are here for you:


You can get your exterior painting quote quickly and remotely, here. It’s free and this link allows you, in under 10 minutes, to send us what we need to prepare a quote for you. You can also call us at 317-968-9565 to talk with us about your job. If you’d prefer to have a CertaPro representative come out to your home to review the work, we can still do that while practicing social distancing. If you prefer that route you can schedule here.

If cash is tight you can use our 6 months Same as Cash financing program and other promotions to help.

If getting the work done ASAP is important, we currently have excess capacity as we are keeping our payroll as high as we can in order to support our staff and painters. That means our painters are ready to paint!

We can go zero contact. The exterior estimating, painting, and payment processes can all be completed with zero in-person contact. Your remote estimate, trained painting crew, and our PaySimple payment links for ECheck or Credit Card all allow for this. Here is what it looks like.

Discounts, great discounts. These are better than we have ever offered before, and they are not likely to be seen again. Talk to your CertaPro representative and we’ll get you set up.

Finally, we are certified to work on older homes with lead-based paint. If your home was built before 1978, you will want to hire a company with the certification required to complete the project professionally and safely.

We are moving forward. This is and will continue to be a difficult season for all of us but we at CertaPro Painters of Indianapolis believe that our communities, state, nation, and world as a whole, will unite and grow closer than ever before as a result.
