CertaPro Painters of Northwest Arkansas, a residential and commercial painting company with offices in Bentonville, Fayetteville and Fort Smith, recently received the 2025 CertaCup at the company’s annual conference.
The award recognizes franchisees for their performance, commitment to company values and customer service throughout 2025.
Fayetteville business owners Aaron and Michelle Lewis, co-owners of CertaPro Painters of Northwest Arkansas, stood out among more than 330 CertaPro Painters businesses across North America, a company spokesperson said. They started their company together 20 years ago.
Since they joined CertaPro, the company has had “record-breaking sales in both residential and commercial sectors” and launched leadership models such as CertaHealth, which helps businesses operate more efficiently by building cohesive leadership teams, according to a news release.
“As the co-owners of this company, we exist to improve the lives of our team and the people we touch,” Aaron Lewis said. “We do this by living our core values daily and creating lifetime opportunities for great people. We believe that by striving to be our industry’s workplace of choice, we’ll foster a culture that enables us to consistently deliver extraordinary experiences.”
The Lewises attributed their success to the dedication of their staff and painters. The company has 25 full-time office employees and painters. CertaPro Painters was founded in 1992 and has 445 franchise territories.
