The Painting Company, LLC, is a team you can trust! We have decades of residential and commercial painting experience! We take pride in each project and have team leaders on each project to ensure that they are completed to perfection! Give us a call today, we look forward to working with you!

"Nice guys. Not enough experience. I just paid $4,500 to repaint siding that The Painting Company painted 2-1/2 years ago. Their prep was not adequate for the condition of the wood, resulting in paint peeling way too quickly. They came out to see the problem but since we were 2 months past the 2 year warranty, they would not repaint without charging a very high fee--more than other estimates for the fix. If your job involves any challenges, I would not recommend them. "

"*** BEWARE*** We had a very disappointing experience with Craftsman Home Builders. Their salesman used high-pressure tactics, even coming back to our home after we had already said no, and kept lowering the price until we felt pressured and overwhelmed. price was still much higher then the company we decided to go with . We decided to cancel the roofing contract on July 30th, which was well within the cancellation period. However, as of today, the company has not returned our deposit and has given us no communication about when we will receive it. This is not how a professional company should treat customers. We are still waiting for our money to be returned."

FAQs for exterior home or structure paint or stain projects in San Diego, CA

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.
