CertaPro Painters have been in painting business for 12 years. We pride ourselves in bringing science into painting so your house will receive the best paint job at the most competitive price. We understand a well executed painting project has a much deeper impact than increasing home value and protecting from natural elements, that is why we adopt the Wayfinding Approach where every minor detail and step is designed to provide the best customer experience.

"They answered my calls, came out and measured, and gave me an accurate quote. They knew what they were doing. The estimator and contractors had differing opinions on how many coats, so I think I overpaid a little."

" WATCH OUT FOR FRAUD warning is all we can do! If you consider calling ALL-STAR be careful! We are from MA. We called them because they bought customer lists from One Service Pros who we knew. Our tenant called that the water tank blew. We were coming to town on other things, so we called on Thursday 7/31 the first date they had was the next Mon. We waited as they had previously done some AC work. We arrived at 2 to find the tech James Hill. His first words were you're not going to be happy! He said we had 5 leaks in our main. To prove it he told his helper to close the house valve and showed us dial spin at meter. To shorten all his lies, he convinced us to use a Tankless at $5k+ and the main was $12k+. He got us to sign estimates as we needed it done. later WE tested valve. When WE shut it, all stopped. in AM called KUB and usage only spiked when heater blew. We emailed to cancel they tried to charge a cancel fee! After Bcc our lawyer, owner, Tony met us. later said he fired them"

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in Cambridge, MA

Painting an old or worn garage door is a budget-friendly way to refresh your home's exterior and boost its curb appeal without paying for the cost of replacement. A fresh coat of paint not only enhances the look of your garage but also helps protect it from the elements, potentially extending its lifespan. Even if there's rust present, you can address it by cleaning, priming, and painting over it for a seamless finish.

Sanding your garage door before painting is an important step that helps the paint adhere properly and last longer. It smooths out rough spots, removes peeling paint or rust, and gets rid of dirt and debris that could affect the finish. If your door has a glossy finish, lightly sanding it will also help the paint stick better.

Painting a garage door takes two to three days from start to finish, including preparation, painting, and drying time. This allows each coat to dry fully and ensures a professional-quality finish. Hiring a professional painter and taking the time to do it right helps achieve a long-lasting, durable paint job.

One gallon of paint covers close to 400 square feet, which is often enough for two to three coats on a standard one- or two-car garage door. This ensures complete coverage and an even finish, especially if the door is properly prepped and primed. If you’re using a darker color or painting over a contrasting shade, you may require more coats to achieve your desired finish.
