CertaPro Painters of Evanston

It was a slow start scheduling for the exterior of my home painted but this was due to the long Chicago weather not Certapro end. We had to wait until the temperature was above 60 degrees for at leaste 3 consecutive days so the paint can dry properly. Certapro was professional, communicative. The owner Ottis came, looked around, and sent me an email with how much the job was going to be.
The main reason I chose Certapro over the 4 companies I reached out to– they gave me the lowest quote and financing. We had some trouble with one of the painters who refused to touchup the back siding (work looked patchy). Certapro rectified the problem right away and sent another painter to finish the job. I would highly recommend Certapro for your painting needs.

I would not recommend these painters to anyone, in fact, I’ve already referred business to one of the other painters that bid on the job I gave to CertaPro. Also, the friend who recommended CertaPro to me, when hearing how my job went, has stopped recommending them. This was a big job — my entire place was painted — so I thought CertaPro would be motivated to do a great job.
The experience was like sausage-​making — while they got the job done, getting to the end wasn’t pretty. The painters declared two different rooms were finished that were clearly not complete. The paint was not applied properly to completely coat the walls. At the end of each day, CertaPro promises to call to provide a status… I had to call to find out because CertaPro didn’t call me. And the team pushed back when I pointed to paint that was splattered on the carpet — the two facts in my favor the splattered paint was the same color as the paint going on the walls, and I had the carpets cleaned a couple days before that room was painted (which they knew). The painters did fix all issues so the end result looks good. However, overall this was a disappointing experience.

Could not be any more pleased with the interior paint job (two bedrooms, living room/​kitchen/​hallways) CertaPro did for us. They gave the lowest quote out of 3 painters and Ottis was very prompt in responding to questions throughout the process. We had the crew of Marcus, Pat, and Will for our job and they were very professional in all aspects. The only hiccup in the job was vehicle problems delayed the start of our project by one day. I highly recommend them and will be using them for any future paint jobs.

We couldn’t be happier with the service that CertaPro provided. We had every wall and ceiling of our 1400 square foot condo painted this past week — the painters were professional, courteous and they did a fantastic job. Scheduling was easy and pricing was very competitive. I would certainly recommend CertaPro!

THey were the lowest quote out of 5 and they painted the living room and stairway.
They came on time finished in one day. They did not spill one drop which is amazing since I walked around all day in black socks hovering. They were so quiet the cat was not even bothered. The paint looks perfect. I did however have to point out a couple place that were needing a bit more paint but they did not make a fuss they just put more paint down

We had our stairs, hallways and ceilings painted on two floor of our condo and they completed it all within two days! The bidding process, scheduling and paint selection was a breeze – Ottis made life very easy for us. The crew of guys who did the painting was professional, prompt and polite and did a great job. I would use them again for sure!

Ottis and the team at CertaPro Evanston did a great job with a few exterior painting jobs at our 6 unit condo in Ravenswood. Ottis gave us a great quote to refinish our exterior wood door, wrought iron fence, and all of the exterior window frames in the building. He was very responsive and his team finished the job in only 2 days. During our walk through at the end, we did see a very small area that we had questions on, and the supervisor on the team didn’t hesitate to fix the spot right away himself. We’ll definitely hire this crew again.
