CertaPro Painters of North Shore and Cape Ann

CertaPro Painters of North Shore and Cape Ann runs out of Peabody as a local franchise of the national CertaPro brand, and Angi lists it with a decade of experience in the trade. This is a shop homeowners call for full-scale repaints rather than a quick touch-up: 146 Google ratings average 4.9, part of a longer run of 97 reviews stretching back to 2020 across four sources. What keeps showing up lately is speed paired with follow-through. One homeowner had a house, garage, and attached barn repainted in four days and called it "100% better than when they started." Another was on their fourth job with the company and described every step, from estimate to finish, as professional and courteous. A chimney scrape-and-repaint drew praise for being quick and detail-oriented, and exterior and interior work spanning a Gloucester home and a Swampscott home earned a comment about consistent craftsmanship. On price, one customer who compared three quotes said CertaPro came in the cheapest. The history isn't spotless. One review lays out a warranty dispute: paint results that didn't hold up, a three-year warranty the company allegedly didn't honor, a promised refund from the owner that never showed up, and trouble getting anyone on the phone outside of booking a new estimate. That's a specific complaint about what happens after the sale, not a vague gripe, and it's worth asking directly how warranty claims get handled if something goes wrong down the line. Separately, Angi lists a Massachusetts trade license number for the business, but that number is self-reported to the directory rather than independently confirmed — worth checking yourself if licensing matters to you. For a full house repaint, a multi-day exterior job, or work you'd rather hand to a known franchise name, this is a reasonable call — the recent reviews consistently describe crews that show up on schedule, finish fast, and clean up after themselves. Get the warranty terms in writing before signing, and confirm the license status independently rather than taking the directory listing at face value.
