Review by a customerin Winnabow, NC Project: Paint, Varnish or Stain Interior Surfaces
The painters acted as though this was their first job, although the owner said they had worked for him for six+ years. They did numerous things they weren't supposed to, ultimately damaging parts of my home. The owner stands by his employees even when the truth is beyond obvious, he says they don't lie to him. I got very poor response regarding multiple concerns, from the office staff and had to keep calling them about resolution. I chose this company over several others because the owner presents himself very well, however his employees do not do him justice. The job was finished after an additional day and issues are still surfacing.
Comment from CertaPro Painters of the Coastal Carolinas
At CertaPro Painters, we try to do everything possible to satisfy our customers. I realize that painting is a big expense and that customers have a right to expect and receive a top quality job. I have been involved with this customer from the beginning to the end of this project. I inspected the job personally with the customer's representative and both the representative and I thought the job looked great and was complete. I will be happy to address any concerns given the chance to do so. I stand behind our work and will do whatever it takes to make our customers happy.

Chris was easy to work with and the finished project looked great. There were a couple of items that needed to be touched up and they came back right away and took care of everything. I will use them the next time I need any work done.
