I have all ways loved certa pro and the work they do.

Glenn Graham

I have used Certa Pro Painters for over 5 years and have always found their work to be excellent. I manage a business that requires all parts of the building to be kept looking like new at all times and Certa Pro are brought in each year to make this happen. I have always been pleased with the pricing and quick responses i get from their customer service. I highly recommend Certa Pro Painters .

Alana Ponza

We live in an older home that required some repairs before painting. The painters did a fantastic job fixing our walls and preparing them for painting. They worked very quickly and went out of their way to ensure the job was done properly. We would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.

Daniel Demers

“This was our 5th contract with the Isleville Street CertaPro team - From the initial contact with Melisa, the quote process with Joseph, and in this latest project of ours, Charlotte (colour consult) and Kevin our assigned painter, we have be thrilled with the quality of both, services and product. We are demanding clients, and they delivered, again, a wonderful experience.„

My experience using CertaPro painters is mixed. I felt that they followed-up quickly to offer a quote and brought in a consultant to help us pick the colors we liked and brought back the paint ID numbers to ensure everything was in order prior to the job beginning. They brought in cleaners at first to sand and clean the dirt around window frames and the peeling paint on our aluminum siding. When the job started was the first of the complications. The painters who showed up were uncertain of the color to be used on the cement steps, and at this point it had been almost 3-4 weeks since I picked them and couldn't remember the exact color so I had to clear this up with the main office but we eventually figured it out and all was resolved. They initially told me they'd be working until 3 every day and over the weekends. They did not work until 3 and they did not work on weekends. Often there was a mess left in my yard such as boxes and pop cans. They did not use painters tape so they got paint splatter on my doors, my deck, around the drains and on my power casings. I also found they did not give my steps a second coat of paint and there were obvious spots where no paint was filled. I took pictures and sent it to the company and they assured me that two coats were applied but I argued it wasn't and they sent someone, randomly a week later and it rained for two days about an hour after he finished applying the second coat of paint. Now my front steps look 100% worse than they were and at this point I replaced my railings and will finish the job myself as I don't have any faith that they will fix the steps without getting paint on my new railings. Overall, I feel they could have done better. The admin staff cared about doing a good job but I didn't feel that showed when the painting was done. Also, similar to another persons review, I believe they used a latex paint on the aluminum siding because my daughter left her bike leaned up against the side and it when she moved it an hour later the paint just peeled right off and I had to touch it up myself.

Peter Budreski

We had the exterior of the house and the ceiling of our "work-out" room done by Certa Pro's staff - pleased with the work ......

Alan Chilton

The young man who did the work was quiet, fast and efficient. He finished well ahead of schedule and was professional throughout. Highly recommended.

Suann Amero

Communications were very clear from the outset - we always knew what to expect - which was very important to us. Our painters were great - they did a great job and were great people. We would 100% recommend CertaPro! Very happy with the customer service and the work product! Thanks!!

John van Gurp

Good professional painting at a competitive price. Excellent communication.

Lynne Dionne

The staff is personnable, knowledgeable and dependable. The painter was interrested in caring out the job to my satisfaction, not to just get the job done. 100 % satisfied with the painters work and services.

M. Randell

Excellent service! We had Sean come into our new home to repair and paint the walls after the moving company destroyed them. He was very efficient and thorough. I would 100% recommend him and the company. We will certainly be calling them back in the future. Thank you!!

Bryan Monteith

So a week ago I call to get an estimate done on my house made a appointment for 9:30 tuesday morning. Tuesday morning comes nobody calls or shows up. So I call around 10:30 and rescheduled for Thursday morning, that was a week ago and I'm still waiting??

Melissa Custance

My Fiance hired CertaPro Painters in July 2014. We had a rep come to our home, provide us a quote, and answer any questions we may have had. He assured us that drop sheets would be used to protect our furniture and floors, and that the job would be very clean, professional, and not disruptive. This was great, as we are both very busy with work and travels, and do not have extra time to be going behind and cleaning up after other people. When the painters showed up,they had no drop sheets. Nothing was covered, they just moved things around. We assumed if they aren't using drop sheets, they must have a very good hand for painting. During their 3 days painting our home, they had many uncomfortable arguments, and also continued to talk about how badly they wanted to finish this job to move onto the next. This raised alarms but they assured us they were still taking their time to do a great job with our place. Approaching the last day, we noticed many areas that required touching up, we marked these areas with painters tape prior to leaving for work. This areas were ignored, and left. Once they were done and gone, and we began putting furniture back where it belonged we noticed paint on almost everything. It was splattered on the floors, the counters, the table. We scraped it off and cleaned the surfaces right away, and expressed our unhappiness to the manager of the company. She was annoyed we even had a complaint, and we feel didn't care about what we had to say,as long as she was paid. She said she would send someone out to look at the damages, but it had to be ASAP. Well, we were in Ontario and couldn't be home to let someone into the house, not to mention we'd already cleaned up the "damages". Over the last few months we've noticed many areas that we will now need to re-paint. Isn't the point of hiring professional painters so that you have peace mind and don't need to go behind them re-doing their work? We could have done a better job ourselves.

David Allison

We've used CertaPro on a number of occasions at my workplace and the experience has been exceptional. Very professional, great pricing and quick. Highly recommended.

Michelle Guest

Overjoyed with the exterior paint job we had done very quickly but thorough and well done. Painters were friendly and considerate.

Bonnie Salsman

We had our first experience with Certa Pro over 10 years ago, and they have returned to help us with interior and exterior painting many times. They have gone over and above with their service: they arrive on time, work efficiently and the quality is high. The (very few) times there have been small issues they have always been addressed immediately and without complaint. The staff are very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. I especially like that they have been flexible on so many occasions when we have decide to add on components to jobs. Their prices are also very competitive. I highly recommend CertaPro for big or small painting jobs.

kimmiie Loen

Amazing team, punctual, fast and efficient.

Eric Greene

We chose CertoPro Painters do drywall repairs and painting in our large auditorium. From the initial meeting, the appointment, choosing the paint, providing the equipment, communicating with the office right thru to the Painters working onsite we were more than pleased with the service provided by Halifax CertaPro. They were all very professional in their work ethics and pleasant to have in our facility doing the work. We would highly recommend them and certainly will use them again when the need arises.

Tasso Dikaios

The CertaPro team is awesome! They were able to take on a short notice job and get our 6,000 sq.ft. commercial office space completely painted in 6 days. Not just any 6 days, but the six days over the Holidays that our office was closed! The work was top notch and the crew did a fantastic job of having the space finished and back in shape for out team to move right back into after the Holiday break. This was the third job that CertaPro has done for us and we will always loop back to them for any future painting needs. Thanks CertaPro!

Ted Schellenberg

I obtained 3 quotes from 3 companies before deciding on CertaPro, mainly because they were the most professional in their approach to the project and their quote was more reasonable. I never had reason to doubt my choice. Their team followed up on every detail from Day 1, and I always knew what to expect as the work progressed. The painters themselves couldn't have been more friendly or worked any harder...with many long days in the sun. The final result was even better than I expected. I will definitely be recommending them to friends and family!

Charlie McDonough

We had an incredibly positive experience with CertaPro and their workers. They were diligent, on time and were passionate about their work. Would recommend them to anyone and will use them again in the future next time we need painting done!

Andrew Elgie

You should advise your employees not to curse at employees of stores at the mic mac mall while wearing their uniform. Never using this business.

Michael Briggs

Asked for quote received real fast, and said when they would do the job and showed up on time and completed it in good time as stated. Real good job.

Alicia MacDonald

As a designer, I can always reply on Certapro to meet the needs of jobs of all sizes. They are quick to respond and the quality of work is excellent. The owners are a joy to do business with! Thank you!!!

Megan Boudreau

Kevin, our painter was Wonderful, polite and thorough. Extremely pleased with final product. Office staff was also lovely to deal with!!

Asher Boates

Everyone was professional and got the job done quickly. Sean was a treat to work with would recommend him to anyone.

Chris Lanteigne

An awesome company to do business with. Very professional, quality work and good communication. This was our first time working with CertaPro but we will definitely come back for our next project!

andrew macgillivray

Armel and his team were top notch. Efficient, on time, and courteous. Job site was cleaned up each day. Highly recommend them.

lenial pinard

Paul Ryan

The CertaPro team here in Halifax have completed two residential projects for us and we were very pleased with their work and their customer care in both cases. So much so, that we are looking at having them do some additional work for us again later this year. They are a real pleasure to deal with.

Michelle MacLean

I would highly recommend CertaPro. We recently hired them to refinish our outdated honey oak kitchen cabinets and they did some hard-to-reach exterior staining for us. Sean who did the kitchen cabinets takes so much pride in his work and has a very high level of attention to detail. He was always checking in with me to ensure I was pleased and helped solve a tricky hinge issue we ran into. We now have a brand new kitchen at a very reasonable cost! The exterior crew headed up by Howie, did a great job getting to some very tricky peaks and making sure our weather-beaten cedar siding looks uniform and fresh. They were very pleasant to deal with, conscientious and went the extra mile to ensure we were happy with the end result. CertaPro owner Armel, was also great to deal with - quick to respond to emails, timely in scheduling our jobs and we found the overall pricing to be the most reasonable around. We'll be definitely calling CertaPro for any future interior or exterior painting needs.

Susan MacKintosh

There was an issue with the first painter but it was quickly resolved. The next painter was top notch.

Michael Smith

Everything went well. Pleased with the results

Gilles Aucoin

Very professional painting service!! Clean, on time and very competitive pricing!! Would recommend to family and friends.

Elaine Moody

Mike and his team did a great job painting the exterior of our house. They were knowledgeable, professional, clean and even finished earlier than expected! The job itself was exceptional--they had great attention to detail, clean lines and made sure we were happy with it. Will definitely recommend to others!

Rob MacCara

We were mostly happy with the work done. A couple of exceptions however: None of the switch or plug plates were removed prior to painting. Not doing that causes issues trying to remove the plates in the future as the paint glues them to the wall, and if replacing with different shaped plates, the old paint shows through. Same thing for curtain rod supports - I had to remove and re-paint the wall because the new supports were smaller. The painters forgot to paint one floor to ceiling spot in the hallway between two door frames. I'll tape and paint that area myself.

Jeanette Boudreau

We had 5 rooms painted. One was a last-minute add-on, and we have a high cathedral ceiling around cabinets and some spots that needed to be fixed and re-drywalled - not an easy job! Joseph and his team were quick, accurate and thorough. They did a fantastic job covering a dark colour with a light one. Their communication throughout the project was outstanding, got to work quickly and finished ahead of schedule. We're thrilled with their work and would hire them again without hesitation!

Gerard Flynn

I'm a General Contractor and am very please with their work.

Stephen Melanson

Great job, very professional and easy to work with! Highly recommend!

Tony Forgeron

Excellent service, no disappointments. Highly recommended

isaac isaac

Fantastic work and competitive prices. I've dealt with Joey and his crew first hand for years and have experienced nothing but professionalism.

Aaron O’Brien

Awesome company to work with for all your painting needs. They will be with you through all the process from start to finish!!!!

Greg Richards

Certa pro and Armel Roy have been our painters of choice for over 15 yrs for our business and home projects. He has always been quick with a quote and the prices have always been very good. His staff of painters have always gone the extra step with working around our schedules. I would have no problem recommending Armel and his team for any painting.

Jamil Hage

I've dealt with Armel and Certa Pro for over 3 years now and have had nothing but positive experiences. Their staff are very professional and accommodating to my businesses needs. I would strongly recommend Certa Pro for anyone looking for quality painters.

Anthony Ha

UPDATE: It turns out our issues were mainly due to a problem with the manufacturer. In the end, we were able to come to a mural agreement to resolve the matter. Cara was very understanding and kind, and genuinely wanted to help.

Michael Salah

I’ve used certa pro on many jobs. The crew is professional and a pleasure to have around. Their attention to detail really shows in the final product!

Rob Warwick

The experience was great. Quote came in quickly and they were able to accommodate our tight timeline. Very professional, great follow up.

Carmen Dockendorff

Very thorough, detailed paint job. Competitive pricing and completed on time as promised.

Arlene Deon

Our painter Greg was quick, polite and professional. He did an excellent job, we are very pleased with the results. We will definitely use CertaPro again!

Jason Plotsky

We used Certa Pro for our commercial project and they were timely, professional and on budget. We would use them again and highly recommend them!

Spencer Meens

Certa Pro does an excellent job on our buildings. We hire them for big and small jobs, interior and exterior. Competitive pricing, professional work, helpful insight when it comes to determining which paint product to use and great follow up on their work. The painters have great suggestions when it comes to exterior work and don't leave until you are happy. Best of all they get the job done on budget and on schedule with minimal mess. I look forward to working with Certa Pro on each project we have with them.

Kelly Hatcher

We had our livingroom, entranceway, diningroom and kitchen painted. We had one accent wall painted one color and the rest painted another. The paint used is high quality and only two coats were needed. Our painter John was friendly and professional. He did an exceptional job. Plus the price was so reasonable. We are very happy and will be hiring them again this year to paint our siding.

Gabriel Raphael

Certapro is our Go-To contractor. Always reliable, work guaranteed and able to get our commercial/residential jobs done when we need it.

Ross Lloy

I have used CertaPro on several occasions for both interior and exterior… always been very pleased with their services, not only on the painting job but also the technical knowledge of the paint they use. Our home is completely surrounded by mature trees and always had a problem with algae. They told me what product they would use that would eliminate that problem. When they finished it looked great, but it is the last 7 years without algae that makes me appreciate having them do that job in the first place.

paul gray

I have used CertaPro Painters of Nova Scotia for both Interior and Exterior Painting. I have found them to be courteous, dependable and they do an excellent job. All my jobs have come in on time and as quoted. Will certainly use them again in the future.

Amanda Jenkins

Incredible job - professional top quality!

Judy Ferguson

I have used CertaPro to paint 2 of my homes, they did a wonderful job both times and I would definitely recommend them.

Jason Jenkins

Best company by far to deal with. Top notch service and quality. Would recommend to anyone.

Kerry Goralski

We have used Certa Pro Painters on 3 occasions to paint the inside and outside of our house and a cedar shed. Jarrett and his crew were professional, knowledgeable and friendly and made excellent suggestions for paint colours. The work was high quality and was completed on time and on budget. We were very happy with the finished product and will definitely use Certa Pro again!

Rob Cameron

Certa Pro had the best price and great service. They did the job quickly, they were professional and very nice.

Dorothy H.

I have used CertaPro Painters for both interior and exterior Painting. Sean took great care to move and cover everything. I was impressed that he put everything back where it was and my home perfect when I returned. He took the time to make sure the job was done the way I wanted. On my outside painting they took extra care to protect my gardens, not to damage my plants or leave any mess. The Painters were pleasant, on time and did amazing work.

Wanda Richard

We have used Certa Pro on many occasions for both interior and exterior painting. The quality of the work has always been excellent. We also appreciate that they show up on time, complete the work in a timely manner and clean up the site upon completion. We highly recommend them!

Katie Lerue

I can’t say enough about Certapro ! From the first phone call to the last goodbye it was fabulous service !! The staff was excellent, friendly, professional & tidy. Can’t get over how fast the whole process was, having a professional interior designer come and consult with us over colour choices was so helpful. We will definitely use Certapro in the future and be referring our family and friends. Thanks guys it was a blast !!

Sheri

I chose CertaPro because of their great reviews and their professionalism when quoting the job. Unfortunately, they did not complete the work to my satisfaction. They arrived late and did not bring a ladder or required tools. They painted latex over oil-based paint throughout my house without properly preparing the surfaces. (i.e., The latex paint just peeled right off.) When they realized their error, they fixed part of the work, but not all of it. Upon completion of the work, there were paint splatters all over my house. I provided this feedback to CertaPro, who said they would have the local office follow-up with me to discuss my concerns. They never did. UPDATE: After posting the above review, CertaPro contacted me to discuss my concerns. They were apologetic and offered a discount on the service provided.

MikeEddy Osteopath

We recently hired Certa Pro Halifax to refinish our kitchen cabinets and complete some difficult staining on the outside of our house. The whole experience was great from start to finish. Armel, the owner, was very prompt and easy to deal with. All the workers were great to interact with and we even left the door unlocked so the kitchen crew could come and go when we were going to be away from the house. Attention to detail was there from the start and we would definitely get them back if/when we have more work to do.

Gina Stick

They did the service requested beautifully and the crew was a delight to have around on my property during the work. The whole process was efficient, clear, professional and gracious from negotiation to finish, providing extra service on a few concerns. Thank you for your timely service and for the great, patient , considerate, cheerful and capable crew and manager/sales rep.

David Maguire

Great at what they do! Always very professional and fantastic to deal with. As a first time experience I would definitely recommend to all family and friends!

John Gammon

From the beginning with the estimator Joseph, to the coordinator Joseph and Melisa, the experience was professional and courteous. The communication in regards to our project and the follow up was exceptional, which we appreciate. The experience continued with the two painters sent to our house to do the painting. Both Tom and Kenny were professional, upfront and trustworthy. They treated our house like it was theirs and cleaned up at the end of each day. They were there early in the morning, worked through lunch at times and stayed mid evening. They are truly paint artist and it shows in the finish of our walls, trim and doors. I would like to add if all the employees are equal to Tom and Kenny, you are a very fortunate company. Hats off to your entire team for a job well done, we love the finished product.

Rod Whyte

I had CertaPro look after some exterior painting this summer. I was very impressed with the quality of work and professionalism. I would recommend CertaPro Halifax to anybody. Job well done!

Alice Fisher

Very impressed with the quality of work. I will definitely use again.

Doug Aucoin

CertaPro Painters get the job done! From the time I contacted Armel until the final touches, CertaPro were nothing but a pleasure to deal with. Besides giving a reasonable estimate, these guys worked efficiently without sacrificing quality. Each day the crew left a note with what they accomplished and what the next steps were. There was basically no inconvenience to this family of four since these guys kept everything clean and tidy despite painting our entire main floor. The final product was even better than we could have hoped for. I would recommend them to anyone!!

Janna Morrison

Mike and his team did a great job painting the exterior of our house, porch and fence! They were professional, thorough and made sure we were happy with everything from the painting to the clean-up.

Kim Bourgeois

I have worked with Armel and Certa Pro for many years. We worked together on my personal residential homes along with Commercial retail spaces. I have ONLY and WILL ALWAYS only work with them. They are extremely easy to deal with, very professional, pay attention to detail and courteous. I have NO problem recommending their services!!

Brian Lobb

Excellent work, they went the extra mile to ensure quality service and a fantastic, well-priced end result. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Josh McKenzie

We have used CertaPro Painters of Nova Scotia for many commercial projects over the past 5 years. From major office renovations to minor common area touch ups. We have always been extremely happy with scheduling, cost and coordination of site staff. Thanks Jarrett for the excellent service and look forward to working with you on our next project!

Deborah

I have had several fantastic experiences with CertaPro. And if anything ever goes wrong (which after hiring them multiple times there is bound to be something) Jarrett is fantastic about getting it fixed without ever making it feel like a burden for him. Quality work, great customer service, and always on time. I will use them again and again.

Mike Velemirovich

After searching for a painter for weeks, I connected with CertaPro and received excellent service from the initial quote to final job. The guys were courteous, professional and did a great job - thank you very much!

Anthony Zadeh

Have used CertaPro for our commecial projects and have always been pleased with the work. Highly recommend CertaPro for any job, big or small.

Angela Scott

First experience with a painting company and we were not disappointed! We did the colour consultation which was great. Choosing the right shade was important to me and the designer helped me feel confident in my decision. Sean was our painter, he was very professional and respectful of our space. Every day when we came home all his gear would be neatly piled in the middle of the room on a drop cloth and when he left he made sure that things were clean and items back in their place. We were very happy with the paint quality and how quickly he got the job done!

Wendy Clark

I am so happy with the painting that was done. It feels like I have a new home! I can’t say enough about Sean, he really goes above and beyond. He has a high standard in painting and it really shows in his work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CertaPro.

Danmar Tkachenko

We have used CertaPro for a number of projects. All have resulted in satisfied customers. Scheduling, punctuality and costing are only some of Certa’s strengths. Another strength had been whenever there has been a problem or deficiency missed Jarret & Armel make haste in resolving it. Many Thanks for all the hard work! Danmar

Dave Coldwell

Fantastic service & great results. Very happy with Certa Pro & how quickly and efficiently they started and completed my project. End results were excellent!

Jason Walsh

Great product, great service.

Deborah Beck

Greg went above & beyond to complete our interior and exterior painting. He did an excellent job with the painting & clean-up, fast and efficient. Everyone we spoke to at Certa Pro was professional. Highly recommend.

Dominic Larkin

Hands down the best quality paint job I've ever contracted out, jobs are done on time and on budget and the workers are a great bunch of guys they are clean and take care of personal belongings like they were thiers, and are very knowledgeable with paint applications and are punctual and on time. If you get Joey for your job you know it will be done right, he has amazing and rare work ethic. Would recommend Certa-Pro Halifax to all my customers, family, and friends... Thank you !!! We will talk again !!!

Darren Ells

Very friendly and courteous. Did a great and fast job. Would highly recommend

Natalie Hills

CertaPro Painters saved me when I accidentally painted some trim the wrong color. My entire entrance way needed to be repainted in a very short time. The staff were excellent to work with right from my first phone call to my email thanking them for the job well done. I would highly recommend them for any job big or small. I was very satisfied with the end result and will be definitely calling on them for any future jobs.

Jacob Brown

I use CertaPro for multiple projects. They do great work and are always on schedule!

Shelley Maclaren

The estimate was completed very quickly and the turn around time was excellent. Office staff were very friendly and kept me up to date on what to expect. The painters were prompt, arrived when they said they would, very friendly and professional. Left my home in good order each day and did a final cleanup. Thank you!

Trinity Van Cleef Titoli

I was an employee of CertaPro Painters for five years working under Joseph Bower. His attention to detail and and customer service was impeccable. The quality of his work was top shelf.. an incredible boss in cahoots with the best painting company around ! CertaPro Painters is the place to call for any future painting projects !

Jocelyne Chiasson

I have dealt with Armel and Certa Pro over the past few years. We've always had great service and great results! Don't hesitate to give them a call!

Thank you very much! The experience from start to finish was amazing. Joseph was great setting us up with the quote and making everything easy to understand and answered all of our questions. Tim the painter was very professional. Tim did a wonderful job painting. He was very respectful and courteous. We can't say enough good about him. Everyone at CertaPro met and exceeded our expectations. Thank you all again

Lis H

I was away when the painters were at my house. They kept me updated almost daily. I had a friend come in and check on them a couple of times just to make sure there weren't any questions and she said they were friendly and easy to work with. It worked out so well. They made it easy. I would use them again. Thank you Darrel and your team

Shelley Matthews
