CertaPro Painters of Sacramento

I was very, very happy with the job Certa Pro did. I had my entire interior painted, all trim and doors and removed wallpaper and painted in one bathroom. Also, every cabinet painted in my house. Masoud and his team did an excellent job. Always on time, courteous, communicative and cleaned up every day. They take great pride in their work and it shows.

What an amazing experience! My kitchen cabinets were transformed and i have a beautiful new kitchen now! The crew was superior and so was the quality of their work! The crew were so polite!
Call them for your painting needs! You will not be disappointed!

CertaPro painted my Vaulted Living Room and Upstairs Hallway, an oak veneer book case wall and stair case railing and pickets.
This is the second time I’ve commissioned the Certa-​Pro team to pain the interior of my home as a next phase of remodel is completed. The work has been done exclusively by CertaPro Painters of Sacramento. Garrett Rogers, president, has always been responsive and provides a quick estimate. They have always worked with my schedule and change requests. The painting crew led by Masoud are professional, neat, arrived on time every day and always did a perfect job. I was impressed how well the oak veneer book case wall and stair case railing and pickets was painted over. You can’t even tell they were oak veneer to begin with. The painting job was superb!
I have been so very happy by their work and will continue to work with them. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Showed up on time, did a thorough preparation, and a very nice completion.

I bought a brand new house with white walls and wanted some color so I called around and got 4 estimates with CertaPro being one of them. Two quotes came in at $ 2500, CertaPro’s was $ 2900 and the last was $ 4400 and oh yeah, I sent that guy packing real quick.
Since I wanted to paint as soon as we closed and the closing date kept floating I couldn’t really lock in any of them until the last second. When we did get the keys, I called and the $ 2500 guys were a few days out but CertaPro was ready right away so I went with them.
Now, I was originally quoted $ 2900 and had talked to Garrett when he came out to give me the estimate. We talked about a few accent walls and different colors and he told me as long as we did not «go crazy» the price would be the same so my basic honest understanding was that it would be $ 2900 flat. I was very impressed with Garrett’s presentation BTW. Now my house is a 2 story, approx. 2100 square foot, 4 bedroom 3 bath home. Painted were all the rooms minus the closets, ceilings and trim.
The workers (three of them including the foreman) came mostly on time (a few minutes late the first day due to bad directions) and did their thing.
Now originally, I was told this would be a 2 day job. At then end of the first day, 3 men working 8 hours had managed to paint my master bedroom, master bathroom, most of a small bedroom and the laundry room and just started the corners on another bedroom. I was completely shocked at the little amount of work that had been done by 3 professional painters. I knew this would be much more than a 2 day job and so did they. I also caught one of the workers smoking in my garage which I was not happy with since my kids have asthma. They had also taken liberty in placing drinks in my fridge, which I was fine with, but something red and sticky was left behind that snuck into a crevice and was difficult to get out. In fairness, the next day the foreman apologized and offered to try to get the residue out but I declined his offer.
I emailed Garrett about the above issues and he was quick to apologize and correct them. I do give him credit for that. However realize that Garrett does NOT do any of the painting himself and more or less serves as the middle man– he shows up to give the quote and that’s it. In other words, you never know who will show up at your house to paint. For example, on the second day, we had the same foreman and the smoker guy but a different third guy who introduced himself to the foreman for the first time as they had never met before. I wasn’t there on day 3 so I don’t know who was there.
The job took two and a half days and the quality was acceptable. I did notice a drop on the carpet where there should have been protection but overall their work was acceptable. I noticed that they took out some outlets to be able to paint under them and others they simply painted around. I was also left with all the left over paint to use as touchup which was nice.
The last issue was when I saw that I had been charged an extra $ 400 due to using four different paint colors besides the main one. I had used different colors on the 3 upstairs bedrooms and 2 accent walls in the same color. Apparently (per Garrett) my other half had been advised of this and OK’d it so I couldn’t do much about it. I mean I realize that different colors will delay the finish time and require new rollers and brushes to be cleaned more often but an extra $ 400? It’s the same paint at the same price right? I felt $ 400 was excessive and I should have been advised of this on the day of the estimate as it WOULD absolutely have made a difference in my selection ($ 800 difference now instead of $ 400) of who to paint my house. Had I known that this job was actually going to cost $ 3300, I NEVER would have selected CertaPro and waited the extra two to three days for the others. I emailed Garrett about this too and in his response, he seemed frustrated with me about it which surprised me.
In the end, their work was acceptable but the price was higher than others. Would I use them again or recommend them to others? No.

After having the siding replaced, we decided on CertaPro for painting. We had gotten other quotes and CertaPro was the lowest cost option and also came across as the most knowledgeable and professional. Shelby at the office was AWESOME! We had to keep moving the start date back as the siding was taking longer than expected. Shelby was very understanding and kept rescheduling our start date as needed.
Masoud and Rudy were our painting team and were wonderful. Courteous, tidy and professional. I was worried about my yard and plants as most crews don’t seem to be cautious of them but these gentlemen took great care not to damage anything. The exterior of my home looks amazing and when they crew left, Masoud let me know if we had ANY issues, call the office and they would come right back out to touch up /​correct it.
Overall great experience. I would definitely recommend them!

We had the exterior of our home painted and are very happy with the workmanship & the attention to detail. Our crew consisted of Masoud & Rudy.
We will definitely use CertaPro for all future painting jobs.

Started and completed on time, polite, professional, excellent job and clean-​up

I had the exterior of my home painted. Excellent job!

I have used CertaPro Painters twice now to paint the inside of my house and I couldn’t be happier. Garrett (the president of the company) does all the quotes and measurements before dispatching his team to complete the job. I am very pleased with the quality of customer service, pricing, work execution and the follow up that the company provides. Thus far they have painted my entry room and my daughters bedroom with a few more projects to go. The ability to schedule around my travel also makes it very easy on me. I absolutely hate painting so it’s definitely a piece of mind factor when the work is completed by a company that is capable and executes what I am looking for. The quotes are very reasonable and I cannot see using anyone else in the future areas that I want painted. Thank you Garrett an CertaPro for making my daughters 8^th birthday a success and my home look much better than what it was before!

When Garrett came over to bid job, he was professional and helpful. We had to move completely out of our home in order to have ceiling, floors, and painting done. After ceilings were done, painters began. i was in Portland when they started. We put a lock box on the house with three keys in it. Painter calls me in Portland for lockbox code. instead of calling Garrett or office. duh. So that get’s straightened out. They finished on time… we were pleased when we walked in… until we looked closer. They were not told to paint the bathroom ceilings so that was not done. and there were many places that needed touching up… one corner was not even painted. Then the keys were missing to the lockbox… and Dave’s tools for putting the fridge back together were gone… after this job. Perhaps they thought they were another painters. Anyway… called Garrett (owner) and he told me to call his secretary about it on Monday.
Even though they offered to come back and do touch up and paint the bathroom ceilings, we decided to do it ourselves. We just didn’t want them back in here. We changed the lock and are moving forward. I think one painter spoiled this job… and am betting it was the one who called me while I was on vacation! lol!
I think owners should do walk thrus too. The other owner/​contractors did.

We were very impressed with the outside trim painting we had done, and wouldn’t think of calling another painter for future jobs. When you’re fortunate enough to get trustworthy professionals, you don’t waste time looking elsewhere.

Member Comments:
Previously to my house, I had to paint my Mother’s house, and called the usual painters some of them had been recommended to me by her neighbors and I found CertaPro. I took the lowest bidder on my mother’s house who changed his bid after I excepted it already. Dumped him and took the next lowest bid and was just completely blown away with how bad they were. They promised so much, then they wanted to change the price after they started, wanted money for supplies, and hardly did anything they promised, including start times, work times, etc.
I told myself never again. But from that experience, getting estimates, I got to meet Garrett Rogers President, CertaPro Painters Sacramento. Who when I was going to paint my house I knew I would include him in my job bidding. Yes the same old paint contractors came out to bid promising everything and some wanting money up front. CerPro follow the laws of the Contractor’s Licensing Board State of California and better. Garrett Rogers arrived as scheduled and worked with my wife choosing colors for rooms, trim and accents. He had plenty of paint color samples.
His «Professional Painters» arrived as scheduled, every morning they greeted us planned out the day’s work, running it through us and making adjustments based on what they heard from us. Efficient, flexible, and excellent people! At the end of the work day they’d ask us if everything was going as we had expected. Before their last day they asked for a punch list, and returned to rectify any and everything they could as they finished painting. They have a 2-​Year warranty and I can say I honestly miss them!
I gladly would use them again, they are well worth it!
Great People

I have used Certapro since I moved in my house 7 years ago, had them paint the inside and was impressed how neat they were and polite. Garrett came over and offered suggestions, even came over after 5:00 when I was home. 3 years ago I had them do the outside including staining decks, and it looks fantastic — at a great price. I trust the crew and appreciate the attention to detail. Also had them come over and paint the garage door again when it was damaged by a car, they happened to be next door painting and came right over to get it taken care of. I know I can call Garrett personally and get answers, I will continue to use them in the future and have referred them to neighbors.

After soliciting bids to paint the exterior of our house in July 2011, we selected CertaPro Painters. Their bid was reasonable and Mr. Garrett was informative and professional. We are very, very pleased with the job and would gladly recommend CertaPro Painters to everyone. I was especially pleased with the care that the painters used to not get paint on our brick patio/​walkway or the stamped concrete wet deck around the pool.

We used CertaPro to paint the exterior of the house. They followed through, and communicated very well throughout the process. The crew that showed up was very professional and reliable. I will definitely be calling them for any future work we need!

We worked with Garrett to get our rental 4plex painted. From beginning to end communication, quality of work, competitive pricing, and professionalism was superb. We would recommend CertaPro to anyone needing work done right.

I used Garrett and his team last year to paint the outside of my house. They did a super job from beginning to end. Talked to me about the process and time it would take and assisted me with the financing program. Real professionals all the way. My house looks great. I definitely recommend them highly.

Was referred to CertaPro by someone whom I really trust. CertaPro did not disappoint. I used them for painting the trim on my house and they did an excellent job. Professional job at a competitive price.
