During the Holiday Season, CertaPro Says the Quiet Part Out Loud… You Rest. We Paint.

Posted on November 24, 2025

The holidays are coming—twinkling lights, cozy nights, family gatherings, and… the sudden realization that your walls could really use a refresh before guests arrive. You start thinking: Hey, I could totally knock out a quick DIY paint job this weekend.

At first, you’re excited. A fresh coat of paint! A new look! A fun project to get the house holiday-ready!

But then… reality hits.


The DIY Spiral Begins

You grab your paint supplies and head home, humming festive tunes. You set everything out. And then—

You can’t open the paint can.
You try a screwdriver. A butter knife. Your car keys. Now your fingertips hurt, the lid is bent, and the paint still isn’t open.

You finally pry it up just enough to pour…

…and you immediately drip paint onto the carpet.

No problem, you think. You’ve got this! You roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Except—
Your roller is shedding lint like a long-haired cat in summer.
You stare at your freshly painted wall, now textured with unwanted fuzz.

Next, you remove the tape you “expertly” applied around the trim…

Oh no.
The tape pulls the paint right off your white trim.
Now you have two projects.

Then the smell hits you.
It stinks. Really stinks.
Turns out you accidentally bought a paint loaded with solvents and heavy odors—definitely not the kind you want lingering through the holiday dinner party.

Trying to soldier on, you bump your tray.
Paint spatter lands on your new leather sectional.

And if that wasn’t enough—
You’ve ruined your favorite lounging-around shirt.

At this point, you’re asking yourself:

Why am I doing this to myself right before the holidays?


Let’s Say the Quiet Part Out Loud: Don’t Add Stress This Season

The holiday season is meant to be a time of joy, warmth, and rest—not wrestling paint cans, scrubbing carpet fibers, and Googling “how to get acrylic paint off leather.”

Painting seems simple… until it isn’t.

Instead of juggling ladders, drop cloths, and fumes between holiday shopping and family time, let CertaPro Painters step in and make your home look amazing—without the hassle, without the stress, and without sacrificing your precious downtime.
