I scheduled an appointment online because they don't answer the phone. They never showed up I called back, no answer just the message to use the online scheduler. I made another appointment. Again no show. They are a waste of time! read more

This company is really dedicated to getting the job done right. They submitted a very thorough proposal/quote. Listed everything we needed painted, pictures, dimensions, and warranty information. Longer warranty than other companies. Great staff. Very polite and does what's asked. Came back twice in the warranty to address problem areas our building had. Not their fault but they still took care of it for us. They also repainted our walkways with an amazing paint. Your kids will never slip and fall when it rains. If you looking for a painting company. Hire this one!!! read more

I was looking for someone to paint the exterior of our home two stories in the front and one story on the back since we live against a mountain. I got all kind of calls, some painters were to busy to call back some seemed to price the jobs so high that they really didn't want the job. Some were so low that I wonder if they would really do a good job I decided to use CertaPro painters, they were about middle of the road on price, they provided a written quote with a guarantee, promised to clean up every day and day's end. We painted the same colors and them spend special time on certain areas. The pressure cleaned, scraped, putty and patched 3 days, full days before they even started painting. They used spray in conjunction with rolling the paint. 2 days painting and done. My neighbors were surprised that the house was done so quickly. I am happy with the job, I managed the job along with other projects with concrete work and electrical. The painting was almost done too soon. I'm not going to complain. Not the cheapest but a great job by quality company. read more

They came back and fixed everything with the amazing Phillip in just a few hours! Super outfit. Will use again.

Have known Karl for a number of years and when it came time to needing our condo apartment painted I definitely wanted to show support for his business. He was timely in meeting with me to discuss services and getting a quote and patient as we had to hold off a month. His crew were punctual and cleaned up after themselves. I noticed a few areas that needed touching up and I contacted Karl regarding those issues. He said they would take care of it and arranged to have someone come out and address my areas of concern. I only deducted a star because I did feel they could have used more painters tape when doing edges and could have draped certain areas better. They did keep the floors covered. All in all, I was very pleased with Karl and his crew and would hire them again. read more

The operations manager Sheree is professional, courteous, and provides excellent customer service. I highly encourage using Oahu Pro painters for your painting needs, whether big or small they'll get the job done right. read more

All I can say is...wow! Our house had not been painted since 1985 and, while the stucco held up over time, the wooden trim and garage door sustained substantial termite and weathering damage over the years. It needed a makeover. We obtained 3 quotes, and CertaPro (whom we found via Home Advisor) came through with the lowest quote. Tony, their sales rep, brought out a color palate (Sherwin Williams) for us to review. They also agreed to repair our wrought iron rail as well as the cracks within our perimeter wall prior to painting those. While the other companies dared not to even touch the garage door, Phil and Co. repaired much of the damage on the garage door prior to painting it. They did the same for the wooden trim around the house. Phil's team finished the project in about a 1 1/2 weeks and we were very impressed! In fact, it feels as if we have a new house! Just as importantly, their team started each day on time, took good care of our property (i.e. they cleaned up after themselves), and were both courteous and efficient when they communicated with us. I would highly recommend them! read more

I would like to start by saying Tony was amazing, professional and attentive. Unfortunately, all of that professionalism ends there. Tony came to my home, listened and took notes. When I was ready, I called the office and they walked me through the next steps after securing the date. I was told the Project Manager would do another walk-thru the week prior to pick out color, note where all the colors would go and answer questions. Two weeks prior, I called the office to remind them no one had called for this appointment. I was told a message would be sent to the PM. The week prior, I called again. I was told I received the wrong information and the PM would speak to me the morning of. The morning of was a mess. Three men walked in my home, asked if they were painting the ceiling (it was noted on the invoice) and said they didn't have the right equipment for it. They also asked where my paint was??? We did a fast walk-thru, they threw out a few insults about Tony and his quote, I tried to note areas of concern and then I was asked if I was staying or going. We left. This job was quoted for 6 business days. They asked for an additional day. They don't work the weekends so our family had to pay to stay somewhere over the weekend. My home was recently remodeled. Everything but the walls were new. When we arrived home, there was paint on my new kitchen cabinets, on the new quartz countertops, on every appliance, toilet lid and tank, on my new vinyl and carpet flooring, my new baseboards were ruined because the gray wall paint dripped down to the baseboards, the blinds in my master bedroom were broken and laying on the floor, there was paint on my living room blinds and kitchen curtain. There was not one place in my home that you could sit without seeing the gray wall color on the white ceiling or the white ceiling color on the gray walls. There were also areas that I specifically asked them not to paint but they painted it. I sent this company 100 pictures and a detailed spread sheet (room by room) of all the issues. The owner came to look at my home. He didn't look at the details just the "big" stuff he said. He then asked if he could send a team of people for another 2 maybe 3 days to address the list. He sent 1 man and we were displaced again for 2 days. He address some issues, made worse others and didn't do a lot of the important things promised by the boss that would get done. I did receive a discount on the balance due. Unfortunately, that doesn't undo all the work that's left for me to fix. There is definitely a disconnect within that company after Tony does a walk-thru. What's important to you is not important to them. I can not recommend this company. read more

Our family has used CertaPro Painters for painting our home in Kailua and Honolulu. Karl and his crew are all professionals. They delivered and exceeded our expectations.

The kind of service you hope for but never really expect to get! We needed to have the exterior of our house painted. I went through Home Advisor and was called immediately by Justin. He came over the next day and gave us a professional, thorough and detailed estimate, printed, within 20 minutes after our walk and talk around the house. He had made detailed notes on the estimate about our concerns. The job was scheduled right away and on the appointed day Phil and Kevin arrived. They were thorough, detailed, courteous, friendly and professional every minute of every day of the job. They kept the work area neat and tidy and cleaned up every day before they left. When the job was done, Phil asked us to do a walk with him around the house to see if anything was missed. We all found a few spots that Phil and Kevin took care of before packing up and leaving. Later that day my husband noticed an area of trim way up on the second story. I called Ellen to let her know and she called back in about 5 minutes to let me know Phil would come over the next day at my convenience. He came this morning and took care of the matter. What struck me about this job is that from Justin to Phil and Kevin to Ellen the office manager, everyone's main concern seemed to be whether or not my husband and I were happy. I'm just really amazed at these guys because this kind of service is almost non-existent these days. No complaints. Highly recommend Certa Pro. read more

Company is top notch and we engaged them to paint our Kailua condo. They responded quickly to an on site estimate, emailed quote, and scheduled job very quickly. There was initially a delay due to weather but got rescheduled to an even earlier time than expected so they are really on top managing schedules. Tarren was our main guy and spent 3 days with us. He was professional, careful, and detailed and really took a great deal of care to ensure if work was acceptable when going through our condo. He even went above and beyond by coming back after the project was finished to touch up some drywall repair work done by the second helper. End result turned out great and we are happy with the work. read more

CertaPro was great from inquiry to completion. Timely and accurate response on initial quote. Company was also good flexing with us during COVID pandemic and followed all guidelines without compromising the project. The team, John and Vato, who were on site were professional and courteous throughout the project. They checked in beginning and end of their shift, kept their equipment organized and tidy. Focused on detail and double checked areas for completion. John and Vato worked fast, efficiently and without compromising quality. Project was a full exterior painting of two story house with deck, railings, eaves. Three different paint colors. Mahalo CertaPro, John and Vato! read more

They were very prompt with their proposal but unfortunately their proposal came in higher then expected. We appreciated their professionalism and would consider trying them again in the future. read more

I don't write reviews often and as a whole we consumers jump on things when they are incorrect or wrong. I want to convey that this company does it right and it is just as important to share the positives when things are well done. From Karl who listened to our requirements, sent a well-organized proposal of scope of work to the great team of Ray and Josh who painted. Ray (foreman) and Josh - thank you so much for your care, patience, and professional detail. I told them upfront I was a stickler for detail and they were spot on with every task. Follow through on touch ups were immediately addressed and just a well done overall experience. I will most certainly use CertaPro again for future projects and recommend you to consider this company for your home or business. read more

These guys have been painting my townhome complex. I didn't personally hire them, so I can't speak to price. I CAN speak to the fact that they are totally respectful of the property and the residents. For part of the project, they had to move through my backyard for about a week; I hardly knew they were there. Plus, they were friendly to my dog, Rudy. In fact, they are so friendly - I think I'll actually miss them when they leave. Unlike my grumpy neighbor, they smile and say "Good Morning". read more

After reviewing Yelp and other sites to try and find painting professionals to do exterior residential painting and some external repair work prior to painting, I contacted this company since it seemed to have a majority of good reviews. After initiating contact, I received an email to confirm appointment time and date. I inadvertently thought that the meet up time was 2 hours later than scheduled. Tony called me by phone that he was almost to my location. When I realized my appointment time error, I apologized and Tony was gracious enough to wait 10-15 minutes for me to get back home by going to Starbucks down the street. We finally went through the job site and Tony took some notes and left. Days go by, then weeks, until finally after a month later, I sent an email to inquire about my estimate. No reply. A few days later, I called and left a message. No reply. What is it with businesses these days that a simple message of "Sorry, but we can't do it or "Due to our current workload, your job will have to wait for awhile" instead of just letting a potential customer just hang like we have nothing better to do than watch paint dry. if you value your customers that much, I would not want to see what kind of job you would do. I already tossed Tony's business card in the trash a long time ago but then I thought, maybe I could have used it to start a 'Hall of Shame' list.... read more

We recently had our house painted by Certa Pro Painters. They are an excellent company to work with. We got a great, affordable price. It was well below all other bids received for the job. The employees were very friendly, professional and thorough. They helped us pick our paint and trim colors and painted sample swatches in different areas of the house so we could get a good idea of what it would look like when finished. They did an excellent job prepping, from power washing the house to removing old nails to putting up rust block. The painting was done very nicely and they hand painted the edges so they look crisp and clean. Overall they did an excellent job at a reasonable price. read more

EDIT 6/30/16: Within a few hours of downgrading my review of CertaPro to one star, I received not one, but TWO calls from them. I was quickly scheduled for the touch-up work and everything was done to my satisfaction. The work took about an hour. I understand that warranty work is a nuisance and can take some time to schedule. I fully expected this and was prepared to be patient. What I didn't expect was the complete lack of response to my repeated attempts to contact them. A professional company would have responded with a quick email or phone call to let me know that they will work on scheduling me in. That said, I'll upgrade my review to 3 stars since the original paint job was satisfactory. ==================== EDIT 4/24/16: I finally reached someone from CertaPro in early April. Tasha said she'd schedule someone to come out last week to do the touch-up but never called again with a date. I called the office and left a message and didn't hear back from her. I'm so disappointed with Certapro's post-painting follow-up and can no longer recommend them. I'm reluctantly editing my rating (again). They get one star for successfully painting my house. ===================== EDIT 3/22/16: I found a spot that the painters missed and emailed Karl with pictures to have him come back. No response. I emailed him again a few weeks later. Again, no response. I tried calling his cell phone today. It rang and rang. No voicemail. I'm really not sure what's going on but I will keep you posted. So far, very poor follow-up for a existing client. I'm lowering my rating from 5 to 3 stars. ====================== ORIGINAL REVIEW I'm a fan of Certapro. When I decided to paint the exterior of the house, I obtained estimates from 3 companies. Karl, owner of Certapro, came out and gave me a written estimate on the spot, whereas the others took days or weeks and I didn't get anything in writing. Karl was extremely knowledgeable, stressed the importance of a good prep job and basically said everything a homeowner wants to hear. I ended up paying a bit more for Certapro but I feel that it was worth it. The crew that came out was supervised by C.J. He and his assistant spent several days doing prep which consisted of power washing, scraping and filling. The actual painting turned out to be challenging due to two weeks of rainy, wet weather and I think that affected the quality of the work. The constant starting and stopping made it difficult to paint the house in a methodical way. However, when I pointed out spots that were missed, CJ always had a good attitude about fixing it. He even fixed a few things that apparently had been there all along. Karl showed up periodically to check on our progress. At the end, we had a final walk through with Karl. I thought I had been pretty meticulous about checking their work so I was grateful when he pointed out some spots that needed more paint or filler. Those were added to a punch list. He was very focused on making sure the house was well-protected from the elements and warned me that in a 2-3 years, the areas by the carport and mauka side may peel due to intense sun and rain exposure and that we should not hesitate to call him to come touch up those areas. Certapro (corporate) offers a standard 2 year warranty but Karl (as the franchisee) extends the warranty to 5 years. I love it! Lesson Learned: Try to walk around every day or two to catch mistakes early. I waited until close to the end because I thought CJ would catch things on his own. In the end, it was more work for both of us. Summary: We had small issues during this job but nothing that I wouldn't expect from any company. The important thing is how the company reacts to those problems and how well they stand behind their work. Karl and Certapro are #1 in my book. I'll try to remember to post an update in a few years after I've seen how well the paint wears. read more

Excellent project managers and painters. By far the best painter we work within HI.

I originally wasn't considering this company but when my wife handed me our old house painter contract and looked up the number, I found out that they were the local CertPro Painters who previously painted my house over 7 years ago. I contacted them and they informed me of the name change but they were the same company. Their estimator came and inspected the house, listened to my concerns and requirements on the job. I received the statement of work and given that I upgraded the quality of the paint, had repair work included and had a mildew additive to the paint, their estimate was still the lowest of my estimates of the companies considered. I was lucky, no paint color changed, so no added paperwork for HOA approval or costs and they had a open schedule that I slide in. Josh and his crew came in early the first day, with his coworkers reviewing the work to be done, double checking my paint choices and pressure washed the home. Their carpenter came, looked at the areas to repair for measurements. By the second day, they quickly went to work, with the paint tackling the job. The Sherwin Williams higher quality paint with additive to prevent mildew was thick. The carpenter had pointed out some additional damage on the first day, when he assessed the work. I was asked about the replacement material on the trim, which I was glad to be offered a choice of real wood versus composite for the trim. He did the repair work superbly and painted the replacement on the last day. It was an excellent job by Josh, his crew, and the carpenter. This newer brand of Sherwin Williams paint lasts a couple of years longer, so I don't have to paint it in seven but at least ten years, so I'm highly satisfied. Several of my neighbors thought it looked great. read more

I appreciated the quick response from the company--The day I met the sales rep, he set up an appointment to look at my job so he could give me an estimate. When I questioned whether the company would be able to match their Sherwyn Williams paint with the Benjamin Moore paint color my homeowner's association had approved for my house, he made a special trip to get Sherwyn Williams paint matched to the Benjamin Moore paint color and gave me the 2 quarts of matching paint. (I couldn't tell the difference between their brand of paint and the Benjamin Moore paint.) Then he gave me an appointment for the painting job to commence the very next week. The company promptly provided a reasonable quote for the job. The painters arrived on time (actually, a little earlier each day to set up) and worked quietly and conscientiously. Ray, the leader, consulted with me regularly to clarify requirements and to make sure everything would be done to my satisfaction. They cleaned up after themselves each day and worked hard all the time. Both Ray and his assistant were very polite and did a great job. The carpenter who replaced some stair treads was also very good in recommending additional treads for replacement and in getting the job done very quickly. All of the workers did their jobs without hampering my ability to stay in my house or leave during the period of work. read more

Aloha, I had a very small job, painting a few walls in my apartment. Email doesn't seem the ideal way to get messages to CPro, but there were no delays when I made phone calls to Tasha or Mr.Karl. Compared to every painter I called in the yellow pages, they were professional, and responsive within reason, for what may be a smaller outfit. I guess these days, everyone is a critic, and expects email to be the end all in communication, as everyone is busy, just do it the old fashioned way, and make a phone call. And the service was normal or better for myself., As of May, 2016. The paint looks good, too, and per Karl, they offer to come back and fix things later, if needed, seems good to me. The painter guys, had good sense of humor, told me he'd been painting since 1989, pretty experienced it seems.... read more

I just had my two story home exterior painted by CertaPro and they did a fantastic job in getting the work done in a timely and professional manner.

Just had CertaPro Painters in to paint the interior of our home. Tony came out to look at the project and sent the proposal by email. CertaPro was the best price so we went with them and are very glad we did. Curtis was the supervisor with help from Reid. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that when Curtis came the first day he didn't have a ladder that was tall enough to do the job, even though Tony had taken several pictures showing our high foyer and cathedral ceilings. However they were able to get the job done a day early. Have already recommended CertaPro to a friend. read more

I don't like writing negative reviews, but this company was previously CertaPro Painting and I recently had them paint my house. Biggest mistake I ever made. The paint on the house was ok, it was the fact I have overspray on my glass table, my vinyl fence, my year old black tiles on my deck, my neighbors car, my puakenikeni tree, my speakers (I had removed for them to paint), paint drops on my roof and the list goes on, and not once did the project manager or supervisor come to my house to see me and address my concerns.The only time I saw him was to pick up the deposit. If they still have the same staff, beware. I am a contractor and work in the customer service department, and that's not how we roll. I chose this contractor because the offered a 5 year warranty and a fair price, not the cheapest, through Home Advisor. I have been washing all of my windows for the last two weeks and I keep coming across more disappointments. Just not the job I was expecting. read more

Oahu Pro Painters - Standing on my A/C unit - Painters Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

With a meager renovation budget, we had to prioritize what we wanted done by a professional versus DIY. Spraying/painting a ceiling done by a professional was our #1 priority out of all renovation needs. We called CertaPro after being referred to them by a friend who was happy with CertaPro's work. The owner of CertaPro, Karl, personally helped us with the paint options and visited our apartment to provide a quote.Scheduling was easy and the professional who painted our ceiling (using a professional sprayer) was friendly and completed the task efficiently. The quality and care he took in his work was above and beyond what I expected. While I'm not certain about pricing in comparison to other painters (I usually shop around but didn't this time due to CertaPro's fast response rate), I could breathe a sigh of relief knowing we were in capable hands. read more

Fast! Great! Clean! Helpful in my decision process regarding colors and design. :) must use them!

I've filled out a couple surveys and ratings for CertaPro already, but I thought they were good enough that I wanted to seek out and write a review on Yelp! since I use Yelp! myself and appreciate having more to work with. I hired CertaPro to paint the interior of my townhouse in Waikele. Not only was the estimate one of the lowest, it was a thorough, written estimate (including photos of some particular areas) provided on-the-spot (no waiting a day or two), with some optional line-items for things I wasn't sure I wanted or not (e.g., a door repair). CertaPro arrived on time, did great prep work, worked diligently and completed on time (earlier than promised, in fact). The work was terrific. The painters were courteous, efficient and friendly. I will definitely call CertaPro next time I need any painting done, and would recommend them 100%! read more

Although we did not use this company to paint our house, they were so excellent in their interaction with us that I felt that I had to share their top quality customer service. We met Tony at the BIA and made an appointment. We have not painted our house and were anxious about what to do, how to do it, cost, etc. Tony did everything right - he made the appointment, showed up punctually, was efficient in his estimate, sent us the estimate quickly, answered our multiple questions and stayed in touch. In fact he was so good that my husband said it made it hard NOT to hire him. Cert-Pro was also the lowest bid. The reason we went with another company was they guaranteed their work for 5 years (only company to do so) and will prime the whole house before painting (for only slightly more $s). Time will tell if we made the right decision but Cert-Pro was excellent with their help and a definitely close competitor! read more

CertaPro did a great job painting our house. They were very accommodating and thorough. We especially want to thank Scott for working so hard to get the job done. I would definely recommend using their services to anyone that wants a reasonable price for a professional outcome. read more

I had a painting job that covered two 2 story homes. I called Home Advisor which referred me to CERTAPro Painters. I got an estimate and hired them. They came two weeks later and started to power wash the exterior of the houses.I was lucky as Roy and his son Roman were the painters. They did an excellent job. They did the prep work, fixed the worn wood and did the painting job. They even climbed on the roof to paint the very top of the roof. They were very friendly and came every day I would highly recommend them to do any painting project. read more

I was painting my modest home in Kaneohe and searched all over to find a great painting company. I discovered Karl and Certified Pro Painters. We all know painting your house is not a cheap thing, but Karl's quote was by far the least expensive. He was able to start sooner than other companies and able to complete the job in less days. I know your saying, that the cheapest quote might not be such a great thing. Usually you would be right, but in my case, Karl got my house painted even before others returned my call! His guys came in and were extremely professional, cleaned up after themselves and did a fantastic job. After they were done, Karl asked me to do a walk through, even before accepting one dime from me. I'm telling you that I was very picky, even the most smallest things, that might not bother other people, I picked out (remember when painting the entire exterior of the house, your going to have some issues). There was no grumbling and no excuses. They returned promptly and touched it all up the first time. I have never written a review before but I feel that a good company should get good reviews. Mark my words, you will be writing the next great review after your experience with Karl and Certified Pro Painters. read more

Very Professional and timely. CertaPro came to my home for inspection and take images of the areas that required work. After two day I was emailed a the estimate. I had shopped around to various companies and found CertaPro to be the most reasonable rate. Once I accepted the offer. We sent up a date. The job was only to take two days and they delivered a quality service within that time. I would recommend this company to friends and colleagues as well as use them again in my home or business. read more

CertaPro personnel are friendly and professional people. Tony, Sales Associate, was upfront on the costs (i.e. patching, cleaning the mold & mildew, caulking, etc.) and provided us a fair price. We have a 3-story house and CertaPro was one of the few companies who was willing to do the exterior of our house. My wife and I especially appreciated working with Ikaika and Donald, the painters. Ikaika and Donald kept us informed of what they were doing and always asked if we wanted a certain part of the house painted or not. They went above and beyond when they repaired a wood-rotted corner of my third story window. They painted our house with Sherman Williams Super Paint. They started on a Monday and completed everything by Friday. Karl and Karina, CertaPro owners, came by to check on the job and wanted some touch-up work to be done. They are scheduling a painter to come by. It was a pleasure working with this company and I highly recommend them to someone who is looking to paint their house. read more

We were very happy with the painting of the exterior of our house. Their cost estimate was in the middle of the 3 we received. Karl gave us a detailed quote of what we could expect and John and Eric were professional in executing what needed to be done. They worked hard and kept us informed of what they were doing. Actually Karl provided us with 2 proposals since we changed our first request. He was in both cases very friendly and approachable, and fast with a response. read more
