Expert Painting…and So Much More
As many of you may know, CertaPro Painters of East Tennessee has been painting homes and businesses in our area for more than 20 years. Their familiar logo-wrapped vehicles have been seen in numerous neighborhood driveways, as well as the UT Vols practice facility and the base of the iconic Sunsphere. Their extensive capabilities, breadth of experience, and business longevity can be attributed to the company’s certainty promise of a “job well done.” This promise comes directly from a consistent presentation of their job expectations – from required supplies to project timeline – making CertaPro Painters a go-to for many residential and commercial property improvements.
What you may not know is that CertaPro Painters of East Tennessee does so much more outside of painting itself. They always address wall and ceiling repairs (with wallpaper removal and lead/asbestos testing if necessary) first so that surface problems are fixed before actual painting begins. Along with reliable paint crews, CertaPro also has carpentry crews ready to handle larger repair issues both inside and outside your home. Please see the comprehensive list of services on the following page and read about a few recent projects that may open your eyes to all that CertaPro can do for you. Co-owners Devin Taylor and Ben Johnson strive for every customer to become a “customer for life” by offering dedicated project managers, consistent guidelines, and work reviews to ensure that CertaPro Painters of East Tennessee delivers on their promises.
Contractor Drops the Ball… CertaPro Picks It Up
Homeowner Mark Davis now truly knows the meaning of “professionalism.” After having new flooring installed, Mark was told that the contractor would be able to complete the upgrade by installing trim and adding a set of stained doors – but unfortunately, the “one contractor and done” did not work out. Thankfully, CertaPro had already quoted the job and were able to step in to finish the remodel. Mark was impressed with their communication and workmanship. Based on CertaPro’s “excellent professionalism,” he recommends them to friends and family who love the home’s transformation. “We are very happy with the end result,” said Mark. “The new woodwork and doors make a huge difference. It feels like a new home!”
Exterior Complete… Time to Go Inside
When Trey Cain, one of the Managing Partners of the Ramsey Hotel and Convention Center in Pigeon Forge, first began updates to the 1980s era hotel, the exterior paint was the refresh he knew the property needed. CertaPro Painters of East Tennessee’s Commercial Business Developer, Crystal Wicker, helped get the job done. The project involved multiple colors over a large building (along with incorporating changes, all within the original timeframe), and Trey and his other managing partners agree that the end result “looks fantastic.”

So when the decision to continue the renovation on the hotel’s interior was made, Ramsey Hotel was relieved to find that CertaPro was experienced and ready to achieve these next steps also. The interior upgrades called for two specific projects – One: removing the dated popcorn ceilings in the hallways and guest rooms that required covering everything – carpet, drapes, furniture, etc. – in protective plastic, and two: installing more than a hundred sliding mirrored barn doors in place of the present hinged doors. Trey was impressed with the thorough estimating process. “By the time we first met, CertaPro had already done some research about how to approach the projects and came in prepared to discuss the nuances,” he said.
Trey appreciated how communicative the whole team was throughout the work – even sending daily email updates on progress. He found that CertaPro “worked quickly and professionally. The ceilings look brand new, and the barn door installations have transformed the look of those rooms. I would highly recommend CertaPro without any hesitation. They do a great job!”
Another Project… Another Success
Claire Borsari knew exactly who to call when she was ready to add fresh exterior paint to her 1915 Craftsman home. She has had “excellent” experiences with CertaPro on previous projects. With the age of the home, some carpentry and repair would be necessary before painting could begin, and she knew they would provide the quality workmanship needed.
The best part of working with CertaPro? “Their communication and punctuality are exemplary,” said Claire. “I especially appreciate that there’s a specific contact person for each project and that person always answers (cheerfully!) when I call and takes charge of finding the answer to any of my questions.”
The completed project has the home’s facade structurally restored and repainted, enhancing the beauty and charm of the Craftsman-style house. Claire is delighted. “I love the dark red accent color around the window frames. CertaPro met our high expectations once again!”
