CertaPro Painters of Central Arkansas Offers Wide Array of Home Services to Brighten Any Space

Any homeowner who also considers themselves an optimizer, saver, or DIYer knows the feeling - the dread that sets in when a room needs to be painted. You see your free time evaporating. The rolls of green tape, yards of clear tarp, trips to the home improvement store, ladders and lines that never come out quite clean enough.

For difficult spots and details you want to be perfectly crisp and finished quickly, without the hours of prep work and painting that make these projects so difficult for working homeowners, CertaPro’s team has been an amazing local partner to bring color into our world. Their team has painted nearly every surface of our Little Rock home over the years, from walls to cabinets to garage doors.

Earlier this year, the CertaPro team painted our kitchen island beautifully in a single day, a light sage green they matched perfectly with a sample I had in mind. What was a small project for them would have taken me at least a week of chaos, inevitably ending with my kids’ little green fingerprints all over the house. I love the green island, but I’m even more grateful for the time I got back to make pancakes in a space that feels like home.

With a team of craftsmen ready for the details, homeowners can get back to the fun part - choosing what to paint, and which colors would make their spaces shine. Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year is Mocha Mousse, “a warming, brown hue imbued with richness … the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort." This deep hue tracks with the trends CertaPro's Chris Boatright has seen lately.

“The national trend is calling for more moody, bold colors like deep greens and blues,” he says. “We’re still seeing a lot of white and off-whites, and we are definitely moving on from the gray trend but we always seem to lag the national trends by a year or so. At the end of the day, color is personal, and you should choose the colors that best fit your space regardless of trends.”

Bringing color into a space isn’t limited to the walls. CertaPro’s team can paint nearly any exterior or interior surface, including cabinetry, garage and patio floors, and wood staining. They also protect your investment by cleaning and prepping surfaces, protecting furniture before the project begins and helping you choose the right product to meet your needs.

Locally owned by Chris Boatright and Heath Boyd, CertaPro Painters of Central Arkansas has provided residential and commercial painting services since 2009.

“We have 18 team members who live in central Arkansas,” Chris says. “We take pride in our work, and we’re honored to help our neighbors take pride in the homes and businesses that make up our community.”

Whether it’s deep navy or fresh white, restoring trim or adding a pop of color, CertaPro’s team is ready to bring color into your life, so you can take care of the memories.
