CertaPro Painters of San Jose Central

Barry was a nice guy, he’s a salesman of course. The two ladies I spoke to in the office left a lot to be desired. One was rude, the other was a bit clueless. The paint job was an absolute fiasco. My 4 year old could have done a better paint job. They didn’t complete a single job that was asked of them, and what they did manage to put paint on was so poorly done it looked worse now than it did before. There’s paint dripped and tracked on my hardwood and tile floors (they didn’t put anything down on the floors to protect them), paint on the door hinges, only half of the finishing nail holes were filled and none of them were sanded down, the few areas that were actually caulked were not done well, and the one door they painted (they were supposed to do 9 interior facing doors and only managed to do one) was brush painted instead of sprayed and we will be lucky to salvage the door. Plus they scratched our hardwood floors by dragging furniture across the floor. We hired painters to get a professional job, and what we received couldn’t have been farther from professional. To their credit, Barry did set up some of his guys to fix the job, however the damage had already been done. I will never use nor recommend this company again.

We engaged Certa Pro Painters of San Jose after meeting with various painters to paint the interior (9 rooms) of our 4500 sq ft home. The project also included repairing a ceiling damaged by a water leak, retexturing a bedroom and resetting a kitchen cabinet. The work was done at a reasonable cost. The house now looks great. Thank you Certa Pro Painters of San Jose.

Barry is a wonderful salesman. The paint colors are great on the house (My pick) The Job quality from prep to paint was poor. painters left without saying a word that they were done. After 2 days, I went around the house and noticed overspray, color/​paint shading shadows due to airbrushing with no back rolling. Missing paint spots, paint on lawn and cement. Painted door handle (exterior door) broken light bulbs, broken plants. lousy trim finish along windows.
This was an experience for me, since I have multiple rental homes and apartments my regular painter was not available and I tried these guys out. Never again.
After Barry came by to collect the check I told him and showed him the job, next day he brought over a seasoned painter and he agreed that the job was bad and needed to be redone. Talked about 10 extra gallons of paint for the body and 2 days of work. A week later the original 2 young kids show up with 2 gallons of paint and 4 hours later are gone. Gone and good riddance.
I will never use nor recommend this company ever again.
However Barry is a wonderful salesman, I just wish I would have gotten the quality job he sold me on.

I hired CertaPro painters to prep and paint the exterior of our 1950’s home. I received several bids, but chose CertaPro because they were the most professional and provided the best value. CertaPro also receives significant volume purchase discounts from Sherwin Williams and is able to pass along those savings to the customer. This appealed to me because I personally think SW paints are some of the best.
I’m a very picky customer and Barry the owner was very accommodating to all of my requests, even going above and beyond to ensure minor details were taken care of. I plan to hire them to work on the interior of our home next.

From the start Barry was professional and responded promptly to each question I had about painting the interior and exterior of our newly renovated house and garage. He often mixes in his great sense of humor while always keeping it professional. His Sherwin Williams paint was very high quality and he even connected me with a complimentary color specialist who helped me choose almost all our colors. Although he didn’t need to, he came back multiple times to cover up blushes that other contractors created (paint last next time) and he even changed the color of our fence to a darker black because it didn’t look right when the sun hit it (it turned it a hint into a shade of purple). He sincerely wants you to be perfectly happy with his work. His crew led by victor are VERY good at their job and their quality is way above where CertaPro landed in my bid comparisons (best of 4) in my opinion. They even painted a fence for my back yard for a small extra payment when I asked them on the spot. They are all very accommodating and roll with the changes that often come with construction projects. I already hooked CertaPro up with my mother in law and I will always go to them first when any painting needs arise for me or anyone I know.

CertaPro quoted a very reasonable bid, and I was particularly comfortable with Barry Tuddleman’s attitude and professionalism.
The painters were on time each day, did a great job on prepping my old (~ 1950) home and re-​painting it. I am very pleased with the results, and recommend Barry and his team with no hesitation.

CertaPro of San Jose, CA, painted the exterior of my house, including walls and trim and patio. They arrived on time, were polite, professional and accommodating. I’m a fussy customer, and they catered to my every request. I got several quotes before deciding on CertaPro and found that their price was very reasonable and an excellent value. The sales rep, Barry, was super responsive and pleasant to work with. The lead painter, Victor, has many years of experience and is easy to communicate with. All the crew did a great job. My house looks beautiful now.

After fumbling around and working with a few different painters on various parts of a large commercial renovation in San Jose, I can confidently declare that Barry and his team are the very best here. Reliable, economical, professional, thorough and straightforward. The staff is highly skilled — they finished my exterior in half the time it would have taken my prior painter and with greater attention to detail. Barry’s bids were always among the lowest I found and he was always quick to clearly explain any differences. He also took the time to understand my goals and budget to help me make the best choices. I only wish i had gone with him sooner. In addition to the excellent paint work, his input on materials and color choices was also extremely helpful. Lastly and perhaps most importantly Barry is a straightforward person who is easy to talk to and great to work with. I’d recommend him to anyone and I’ll gladly be doing business with him and his team again.
