I've never left such a dissatisfied review but I would hate to see anyone else hire this company without understanding the grief I have been through. Stay away from this contractor. They are unprofessional and unethical. I had a very large painting job that they quoted (both interior and exterior). They accepted the order and scheduled to start five weeks later. They sent out a crew that was inexperienced and careless - kids really, with no painting experience. Halfway through the exterior painting, they said they couldn't d... read more

We have now used CertaPro for 3 projects- 2 large interior jobs and 1 full exterior. The quality and attention to detail has been excellent every time- we will continue to hire them for painting jobs in the future.

I worked for this terrible company. You are a moron if you consider paying CertaPro Painters a penny. I heard numerous complaints from each and every customer they set me up with and felt bad for all of them. They are run by incompetent people. Do not waste your time. You will regret it. ZERO STARS

I was very disappointed with the workers. They spent more time watching the World Cup on the phone than painting. They used very small plastic covers on my floors. I had to clean up so many spots of paint especially on the first floor wood floors. They removed the canvas cover from my wood floors in living and kept their supplies there. When they left I had small scratches in the area. The clean up was bad. The worst job was the wall cabinet. It was suppose to have 2 coats of the oil based Zinsser. It looks like it was not u... read more

We are extremely disappointed with our whole experience. We requested carpentry work, but the first contractor apparently quit without giving us an estimate and the second one never even showed up after we waited here all day for him. We should have walked away at that point. The color consultant assured me that the color I was leaning towards was not too dark and would look cheery. Wrong. I accept responsibility for that. I assumed she would help me figure out what colors to use, but was informed that is not the case. The p... read more

Stay away from Certa Pro at all costs. They do not honor their contract, and refuse to complete the work. On my particular job, they totally ignored the contract and did no prep work prior to staining. In particular, cracks were to be filled in. None of this was done and he refuses the complete the job per the contract and my requests. You cannot trust one word the owner says. If you're dumb enough to use them, make sure you have a lawyer at the ready, you'll need one.

Stay away and do not hire this company for your painting needs. I've had a terrible experience trying to get them to finish a project which was supposed to take one to two weeks but it's been three months so far and it's still not done. The exterior painting project began late May 2016. In the contract it mentioned that the painters would keep me up to date on the progress but throughout the entire process nobody contacted other than asking for the payment. The painters were very unprofessional leaving cigarette butts in my ... read more

Took CertaPro of Palatine two missed appointments and finally made it on the third for an estimate. Should have followed my instincts and realized that any company that doesn't keep appointments, doesn't call to reschedule and made no attempt to contact me until I called them was less than professional. Finally received an estimate, signed a contract and was told they were scheduling 30 days out. At about day 32 I still hadn't heard from them so I called and was told they were 6 weeks out. I waited patiently. At about 6 week... read more
