"We had three companies bid for painting the exterior of our home in Bonita Springs. Certa Pro came in the lowest. I can t say enough good things about this company and our experience. Brad and Jenny in the office were super accommodating with our schedule and us waiting until the last minute to decide on colors. Abell, the foreman, and his team that painted the house were all so friendly and did an outstanding job on our house.
