I had been a long time client of the previous owner of this franchise, so when my deck needed…read morerepainting I contacted CertaPro for an estimate. The estimator was friendly and seemed proficient but the quote was a flat amount with no breakdown on supplies and labor. First red flag. I accepted the quote with my digital signature and heard nothing for a month. So I called and somehow he thought I had rejected the quote. Second red flag. He put me in touch with the scheduler and after several months (due to rainy weather) I was told to expect the painter in a week. The painter showed up. He only paints so could not replace one of the boards as per the contract. The estimator called me and said he didn't remember that a board needed to be replaced. I told him to read the contract. Third red flag. So finally the deck was pressure washed and the board was replaced. The painter used a paint sprayer and gave the deck a thin coating of paint. I can see paint chips that were incompletely removed from the pressure washing imbedded in the paint. It looks fine from a distance, but will need to be redone sooner than planned. So, no. I don't recommend.

CertaPro butchered my deck. The first group of people they sent to stain my new deck (Only 3 years…read moreold) pressure washed it so hard they broke boards and furred up everything else. I expected they would sand everything, but after I noticed they were taking off to spray before ANY prep work was done, I had to stop them before they did any more damage. They called back to the central office, packed up their stuff and left. Apparently these independent contractors weren't paid to do any prep. Which is absolutely insane. I had to show them on the contract where it said they were supposed to do prep. The second crew broke a step and my handrail. Then ran out of time because you can't paint in winter. So my deck was only partially painted (see photos), and very sloppily at that. They got paint on all the hardware after promising they'd tape it off. They promised I'd be the first job of the next year, but then wouldn't book me until June when they absolutely could have done it in March. They also pretended they were going to replace the lumber that they damaged, but they also hadn't done that because everyone knows you can't paint fresh lumber, so that should have happened well before they planned to paint. I had enough of it and ended up doing it myself because to remediate all of the damage they caused it would have cost thousands of dollars more. I had to replace at least a dozen boards. This is the WORST experience I've ever had with home improvement and I cannot imagine how anyone could have a good experience with them. Makes me wonder if the positive reviews are bots. No one at CertaPro had any idea what they were doing and when I actually had a conversation with the owner, I expected some level of compassion, but instead he was argumentative and he got sarcastic with me and said "if I would have brought a snow blower, maybe I could have done the job in January". It is unbelievable to me how a business this inept is able to continue. 0/10 - I wouldn't even recommend them to someone I don't like.

We hired Pittenger to paint our downstairs and two-story foyer. Can't say enough good things about…read morethe entire experience. Sam was great to deal with from start to finish. We read reviews noting his service and attention to detail and we agree with those sentiments. I'd strongly recommend him and his team.

Based on other reviews, we had Sam give us an estimate on painting the interior of our home. The…read moreprice was competitive and the scope of work included all minor drywall dings, nail pops and cracks. He used PPG Manor Hall paints. The crew that worked at my home was Devin and Peter. Very professional, polite and conscientious. Everything was cleaned up daily and they were careful with the handling of items that needed to be moved. The painting is excellent. Did a great job! There is next to no odor and they left the place as clean as they found it. I would give them my highest commendation and will definitely use them again.

I hired FoxFix to repair some seams in the drywall in our condo. I liked Yevhenii (and his wife)…read morevery much when he came out and I felt like they'd do a great job. Indeed, they worked diligently and cleaned up each time they visited. The first round of work, both of them came; the second and third times, just Onya came to and she was super friendly and worked quietly while I worked in the office. I didn't paint the repairs immediately because of a lack of time, but once I did, I was disappointed with how the work turned out. I contacted Yevhenii again and sent him pictures. Communication was great and he came out to look and offered to either refund the money paid and for someone else to do the work or he (and his wife) would try again. I allowed them to come back and Onya worked for hours to redo most of the work. Again, carefully, quietly, and working with my schedule. Yevhenii came to check on things and also wanted to do some of the painting to see how the repairs looked. One area in one of the bathrooms looks pretty good but the kitchen and the other bathroom looks terrible, as evidenced by the pictures. I recontacted Yevhenii and he offered a $200 refund which I accepted. There was the original price of the job and, in consideration of the friendliness that the couple offered and the six visits they made, I felt was worth a $100 tip. In the end, I had drywall dust to clean up throughout the condo on multiple days and the results look amateurish. I'm still not sure why this is so hard to do and do reasonably well. I'm not looking for taj mahal-lile work but the pictures, I think, speak for themselves. I'm sure Yevhenii does great work, as evidenced by other positive reviews and pictures, but this project was a fail.

We had a half wall added to a loft area at the top of the stairs. Yevhenii did excellent work…read more We even threw him a challenge to create some custom moulding on the cap to match the other two half walls in the same hallway, and you can't tell the difference. Jobs like this are harder than one would think mostly because matching drywall seams is really hard. That's why I didn't do this myself. It takes patience and attention to detail. Where the wall had a straight transition to the existing wall, Yevhenii matched the seam patch perfectly, and you can't tell it wasn't originally part of the house. Yevhenii even showed me what to look for if I found that the drywall patches needed more work (flashlight at an oblique angle). He knew that this kind of thing takes effort, and to get a Level 5 drywall finish is asking A LOT (I didn't expect it either because I knew this too.) I like painting, so I asked Yevhenii to leave that part to me. Often, when you paint, you can see the flaws in a project. Even though the top cap of the wall was two pieces glued up and the wall had to make that existing wall transition, the lines were smooth and clean, and you couldn't tell. His workmanship is measured and precise, he cleans up each day, and he's a nice person to talk to as well. You could do a lot worse than to hire Fox-Fix. Yevhenii is the kind of local guy you want to have in your pocket for whatever you need.
