While winding down from their corporate careers, they found themselves embarking on a different journey. In 2012, Kelly with 25 years in sales and marketing experience and Sara with over 20 years being a Director of Human Resources, began toying with the idea of owning their own business. With two kids in college and nothing holding them back, The Morlocks decided to combine the best of their knowledge and experience. They became the proud owners of CertaPro Painters \u2013 SW Metro.<\/p>\n<p>CertaPro Painters \u2013 SW Metro is a full service painting company providing professional expertise with exceptional customer service for their customers. CertaPro services include residential and commercial painting, interior and exterior. Their crews have carpentry skills to repair and replace exterior wood surfaces. They can hang and remove wallpaper, complete interior drywall repairs and deck staining, to name a few of their many services.<\/p>\n<p>CertaPro Painters \u2013 SW Metro is as an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, 2014 Angie\u2019s List Super Service Award recipient, a member of the SW Metro Chamber, Eden Prairie Chamber and Waconia Chamber.<\/p>\n<p>One of the unique offerings CertaPro has for their customers is free color consultations to help in selecting the best colors for your project, as well as providing sample paint to try colors on your walls before making your final decisions \u2013 both at no additional cost. They offer a financing option for your project, approval with one simple phone call.<\/p>\n<p>CertaPro\u2019s payment requirements are different for the industry as well. They don\u2019t ask for a deposit to start a project. In fact, they do not accept any payment until their customer is fully satisfied with the completion of their project. Customer payments are not deposited until one final phone call is made to be sure they are happy and verify it is ok to deposit their payment.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly and Sara said, \u201cOur goal is to create \u2018Customers for Life\u2019. The next time a painting need arises, our customer doesn\u2019t have to go through the process of three estimates. They know us and trust us that we will take great care of our customers, their homes or businesses and provide a high quality paint job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tag line for our business is \u2018Because Painting is Personal\u2019 and we truly believe that!\u201d the Morlocks said. \u201cThe walls of your home or business, interior or exterior, are looked at every day, many times a day. We want you to love your walls and colors every time you look at them and remember what a great experience you had working with our company!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Morlocks go the extra mile to establish not only a repeat customer, but also one that will refer them to their friends and family. There is no greater compliment than a referral from a previous customer! As you can imagine, with values like these, they get plenty of referrals on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been customers for a long time, know how we like to be treated and take our customer service above that line.\u201d Sara said. \u201cWe truly listen to our customers, addressing concerns timely and partner with fabulous crews of dedicated, professional painters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a very interesting, challenging and rewarding first 2 \u00bd years of our business life.\u201d Kelly and Sara said. \u201cThere is nothing more satisfying for us than to have a customer thrilled with the end result of their project. We have forged many new relationships owning our business and have learned a great deal about ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than all of that though, Kelly and Sara love what they do. They love being a part of the South West Metro communities and the opportunity to make a difference in their customer\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p>Call CertaPro Painters \u2013 SW Metro today to schedule your free, no obligation estimate for your painting project! 1-800-GO-CERTA or 952\/380.7184.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kelly and Sara Morlock, 20+ year residents of Chanhassen, were preparing to be empty nesters when life steered them in a different direction.
