## The honest read

They sent three guys out and knocked the whole house out in one day, a recent customer of CertaPro Painters Laconia said. On Google the business holds 4.8 stars from 79 ratings. Its website lists a service area that includes Portsmouth, Rochester and Dover, and the company says it offers free estimates.

One recent customer hired CertaPro to paint the entire inside of a newly purchased house and said Vinny's crew was fast and efficient. A recent customer said the team showed up on time and scraped, primed, painted and repainted the house. One recent customer described CertaPro staining the interior trim around seven new Pella windows. A recent customer, contracting the company for a third time, said Rachel gave quotes for the inside ceilings and exterior cedar shingle siding. A recent customer said the price was high but felt OK with it when the job was done.

A 2025 customer said CertaPro sanded and stained older kitchen cabinets in Portsmouth, painted a large island and bar, and was done in 2 and 1/2 days. A 2024 customer said the company had to replace a piece of molding that is no longer made, so it assembled several separate pieces to replicate the original.

A 2025 customer reported problems with incorrect prep and missed areas, which were resolved. A 2024 customer said voicemails and text messages to the scheduler went unanswered while they were trying to meet a move-in schedule. A 2024 customer wrote that, in their experience, CertaPro seemed to subcontract the project to another company whose workers wore CertaPro shirts. A 2024 reviewer wrote that the owner of CertaPro Painters of Portsmouth had been sued by the EPA, resulting in a fine of over $13,000.

**Strengths:**
- Whole house, one day — a recent customer said three guys finished it in a day
- Surface prep — a recent customer said the house was scraped and primed
- Replicated molding — a 2024 customer said pieces were assembled to match the original

**Concerns:**
- Prep and missed areas — a 2025 customer reported problems that were later resolved
- Hard-to-reach scheduler — a 2024 customer's voicemails and texts went unanswered
- Subcontracted work — a 2024 customer said the project seemed subcontracted out
- EPA fine claim — a 2024 reviewer said the Portsmouth owner was fined
