Preparation varies by project and may include power washing, drywall repair, light carpentry, caulking, sanding, scraping failing paint, repairing damaged surfaces, and priming as needed.
⭐ Do you offer commercial drywall repairs?
Yes. We can repair damaged drywall, patch holes, and address surface imperfections before painting to help create a smooth, professional-looking finish.
⭐ Do you provide light carpentry services?
Yes. When needed, our team can complete light carpentry and surface repairs before painting. Addressing damaged woodwork, siding, trim, and other surfaces helps create a stronger foundation for the finished coating.

Yes. A professionally painted building can improve curb appeal, strengthen your brand image, create a welcoming environment, and leave a positive impression on customers and employees.

Absolutely flawless. I have a slight advantage over the average home-owner in that much of my work involvoves construction projects, so I see a lot of bids and estimates. I got much lower quotes and wildly higher ones. CertaPro came within nickels of my estimation, but the real magic is that they delivered. The CertaPro crew had a very hard task -- three colors on three and a half stories. The result of their work is magnificently beautiful. I could not be happier with the outcome.
