Dan and his crew have helped me twice, once three years ago when we moved to this house and he did…read moresome demolition of 1990's style (useless) decorations in the wall and repaired the orange peel texture beautifully, painted the rounded corners with crisp lines where my designer had specified different room colors. So when we planned a mini-reno of the kitchen, I called him again, because I knew he could remove the hanging soffit and repair the ceiling properly. The ceiling isn't popcorn, but it IS textured and Dan worked his magic and it looks perfect. I have no idea how he does this. Before/after photos below. Dan shows up when he says he will and stays with the job until it is complete. And he has a likable crew.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!…read more Contract was signed and deposit of half the total amount was given (about $2,000) with painters to begin the following week. Two weeks pass with services never being performed, it took about another two weeks to finally receive a refund. Waste of time and poor customer service. Highly advise to avoid this middle man company. I wasn't aware that after hiring them, they hire someone else to do the job which is why they kept delaying. After running out of excuses, they start ignoring your calls. If you decide to hire them anyway, keep in mind you are paying more to go through them, rather than hiring a painting company directly. There is literally no reason to use this company, they are both slower as well as more expensive since you are paying for the services to be performed from whatever company they hire, as well as their own commission. Again, HIGHLY recommend to AVOID! Edit: Calvin from CertaPro did reach out to me via phone after I posted my honest review. I did some more research after and was able to get in contact with one of the independent small painting businesses that CertaPro works with to complete jobs. They knew the salesperson that I was initially working with by name and said they have done multiple projects with them. I usually don't go this far to prove a point but I also don't like being accused of providing false information. Anyone that hires this company can simply talk to the painters that show up and ask themselves. I encourage anyone with a similar experience to write your own review.

Do not use Certa Pro Painters of Northwest Florida…read more Quality of work: 3/10 Pride in work: 0/10 Overall Business Practices: 0/10 Care for customer: 0/10 You'll probably have a hard time finding anyone cheaper -- but you'll get what you pay for. Zero communication, subcontracted painting crews, poor quality work, empty promises, and overall miserable experience. I hired Certa Pro Painters of Northwest Florida to paint the entire interior and exterior of my home. After 1.5 - 2 months finalizing the schedule, the paint crew did not show up when they said they would. Once they started the interior, they worked at a snail's pace. Overall, the paint looks like I hired a group of 13-year-old kids to paint the house. At one point, when I wasn't home, Certa Pro added $1900 to the bill to paint a walk-in closet. (I was out of town -- so they stuck my wife with this one) Certa Pro's subcontracted painting crews did such an awful job, I don't want them to come back and fix what they failed to do right the first time. I'll be hiring someone else to fix the interior (including an entire bathroom, all quarter round, damaged paint from tape removal, and on-and-on. I have since cancelled Certa Pro from painting the exterior of the house. When I began asking for a refund, my phone calls were screened -- they would not answer calls from my phone. My wife had to call from her work number to get them to pick up the phone. Once the refund check was cut, Certa Pro docked the refund for the credit card transaction fees -- just another slap in the face. After waiting 30 minutes passed my scheduled appointment to pick up my refund check at the Certa Pro office, I spoke to the franchise co-owner (Summer). She had zero interest in hearing my reason for cancellation. Never once did she ask why I had a bad experience with her company. (I loved the sarcastic "have a wonderful day Mr. B") This review does not do justice for the incredibly terrible experience and the awful quality of work Certa Pro Painters of Northwest Florida provided. I'd be highly embarrassed to be a part of this company. Do not use Certa Pro Painters of Northwest Florida. Hire a local/non franchise company that does their own work and cares about the customer.

OUTSTANDING RESULTS!!!!!! I just bought my house and I…read morerequested a quote on stucco repair prior to closing. Robert (the owner) was fast, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. So much so, that following the repair I chose him to bring my 1990's house up to code by removing the required stucco around the ground level of the house and painting afterwards. Robert's employees were all EXACTLY like him:. FAST, PROFESSIONAL, AND EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE. They repaired foundation flaws, answered dozens of my questions, and genuinely took pride in their work. Needless to say, it was more than evident in the final product!!! After the work was completed, Robert came back out, we inspected the house, he happily answered more questions, then wanted to make sure I was happy with his work.......I CERTAINLY AM!!!!! My wife and I constantly get compliments on our house and we owe it to Stucco by Marko LLC.! THEY REALLY DESERVE "6" STARS!!!!!!

I am a prominent home inspector in this region, inspecting over 400 homes per year with over 20…read moreyears of construction experience. I referred Stucco by Marko to one of my customers where I had identified some stucco deficiencies. Marko gave them a proposal based on his own inspection for a little less than $10K for the repairs, everyone agreed that this was a responsible and affordable repair cost, and the proposal was used as a basis to go ahead and purchase the home. After closing on the home my customers paid Marko about a $5K deposit, but when Marko showed up to start the work, the scope of required work suddenly changed, as Marko decided that all of the stucco had to come off and the new price would be $50K! Any experienced builder can tell you that with very few exceptions +-20% is the max except able factor of error margin and most responsible contractors figure a reserve into their firm fixed proposals with the only changes usually due to change orders based on customer requests. However, a 500% increase is criminal behavior by any standard!

Shaun told us when he would start the job and approximately how long it would take. He started almost exactly when he said he would and he finished early. The best part was that he was meticulous in trying to make sure everything came out just the way I wanted. I told him that I was a bit picky with how I wanted the ceiling to look perfectly smooth. Without asking he did a couple extra skim coats of drywall mud to remove every last imperfection. The end result was excellent and he provided a hassle free experience. I would feel very comfortable hiring him again.
