Deon, our project manager, explained everything thoroughly and was always accessible. Orlin and his crew did their work meticulously and always cleaned up after themselves. We recommend CertaPro. **★★★★ — louiseknapp, Oct. 2023** > The crew were punctual and hardworking. They had a rough canvas to work on as it’d been a while since last painted and they did a really good job. I would def recommend them **★★★★★ — Micki Callahan, July 2023** > Soumil was very responsive and professional throughout the process. His team did excellent work. I will happily use them again. **★★★★★ — HU-160721094, March 2021** > CertaPro did a wonderful job painting stucco and wood after new windows were installed. I had a lot questions and Deon Fouche, the project manager, answered every one. His thorough explanations gave me confidence that he and his crew knew what they were doing and would do an excellent job. When I requested a correction, Deon didn’t hesitate to arrange for it and handled the process in a very professional manner. Besides his deep knowledge of the industry, Deon is friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend Deon Fouche and CertaPro for your next paint job! **★★★★★ — Robert Bijou, April 2018** > They painted the entire exterior of our three story house on a steep slope, using scaffolding! Excellent job, safe and clean. Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — Dasha Ostrova, June 2017** > I have been using various painters for large turn over projects in housing units for many years. CertaPro are by far the best ones I have found. I have used them for two summers in a row now to turn over 4 buildings. The work was always on-time (if not done earlier), very good communication and of course always great job!!! **★★★★ — Damir, May 2017** > CertaPro provided a very competitive quote for our exterior painting project and were able to start the work soon after we accepted. They were professional, completed the project rapidly, and did quality work. After a few months we noticed a few places with poor paint coverage, bubbling and cracking and they returned without complaints and fixed the issues. **★★★★★ — Bruce Thrupp, May 2017** > Soumil and his CertaPro team were exceptionally professional, highly reliable, and provided their services at an excellent value price. My home has a challenging location, and multiple contractors on-site when Soumil's team did their work. They managed all obstacles flawlessely, and were very helpful with color selection as well. > I highly recommend Soumil and his CertaPro Team for painting projects, and plan to use him myself for all future work. **★★★★★ — Anita Hayward, May 2017** > Cerro Pro was one of the best contractors we worked with during our whole house remodel. The project managers we're highly responsive, not only keeping the work on track, but also by adressing our concerns along the way. The painters were professional, neat and a pleasure. When there was a problem with the paint a year later. Soumil and his manager served as our advocates and solved the problem with the paint company for us. Certa Pro Berkeley is definitely an excellent company that is more than willing to go the extra mile for it's customers. **★★★★★ — Rebecca Rees, April 2017** > CertaPro did a fantastic job painting our home. We worked with Soumil for the initial consultation. He did a very thorough walk through and explanation about how they would do the work (so that there were no surprises). We were very satisfied from start to finish and our home looks 50 years younger! Everyone we worked with was professional and very friendly. On the final two days they asked questions before they did the final touches to make sure everything was done just right. We would use CertaPro again and again and highly recommend them! **★★★★ — HU-102829, April 2017** > Very professional; easy to work with. Did a great job. Had a couple of problems afterwards requiring follow-up which they did so as soon as was feasible. Needed to coordinate with carpenter which went smoothly. I would rate 4.5. **★★★★★ — Ron Gervasoni, April 2017** > Hi my name is Ron and I had CertaPro paint a few rooms for me at my Condo .
