Allen is a great communicator and goes the extra mile. He and his crew did a great prep job and he gave an extra coat of paint to improve coverage. He worked with my time and budget limitations. He gave his bid promptly, showed up when he said he would, and finished ahead of schedule. I appreciated the effort he made to stay in touch. Exceeded expectations.

CertaProPainters
Igor Liokumovich
712 Bancroft, Suite 323, Walnut Creek, CA  94598


Have you ever wondered why there are so many house painters around? Maybe, it is because homeowners don t want to call the same painters that painted their house last time. Really, who would want to relive the stress? If you had to deal with missed appointments, broken promises, expensive up-sells for what you thought was a part of the deal, deadlines that were ignored and your calls not returned, you would probably want to forget about those guys. We'd like to introduce PaintCru to you a new company built on years of contracting experience of its founders. We believe we know what our customers really want. See if you agree: - Most painting projects are labor-intensive. A lot needs to be done in a short time. So you want your painter to be hard-working and time-disciplined. - Most painting projects are quite involved. Besides the actual painting, there are dogs to be kept inside, vegetable gardens not to be stomped on, your own schedule you have to adhere to, etc. So you want your painter to be responsive to your instructions. - You have agreed to a deal. You are prepared to fulfill your end of the contract. So you want your painter to do what he promised without any further negotiations. - You are paying for a finished product. Otherwise, you d do it yourself. So you want your painter to clean up thoroughly after he is done. You are probably busy. Even if you are not, you ve got better things to do than to chase contractors. So you want your painter to be available and accessible. - Most importantly, the product that you will have to live with for a number of years is the paint job itself. So you want the paint job to last. If the above made sense to you, please contact us for a free estimate. Thank you

CertaPro painted the house exterior as well as the unfinished wood interior on my new windows. The crew worked 9+ hour days including a Saturday to finish the job on schedule. The overall quality was very good and the price was one of the lowest of many bids that I had. Recommended.
