I manage multiple high-rises in the NYC area and I’m constantly looking for qualified vendors that can assist with exterior maintenance and facade restoration in order to stay compliant with local law 11. I had reached out to CertaPro Painters for a quote and had a detailed estimate within 1 week of my inquiry, and their crew was able to start within a week of when we provided approval. The project was completed on time, on budget and with no complaints raised from the residents. If you have a similar fire escape or exterior painting project that you need done, I suggest you reach out to CertaPro.
