Testimonials
What Our Customers Say
"Alain and his crew were EXCEPTIONAL. Jose and Danny were kind, friendly, helpful and professional. The 5 days of painting was the easiest project I've ever experienced, BY A MILE. I didn't lift a finger, move a single piece of furniture, or clean up after them a single time. There were no delays, no messes, no mistakes and no budget/schedule overruns. Perfect. 10/10 would recommend."
Brandy Baker

"My all time best experience has been with Paint Loma. They have painted the outside (big job) and now just about every room inside as well. Each time I have been 100% happy with the work. The owner, Alain, has always gone above and beyond to make sure I'm happy with the results. A+ recommendation!"
Janet Coulon
San Diego
"We needed someone able to paint a fiberglass front door, which is a specialty, plus interior rooms. The crew was so friendly, on time each day, professional, and cleaned up as they went. For a household with parents working from home, kids schooling at home, plus a dog looking for attention, they were the perfect team!"
Allison McCurdy
Point Loma
"Alain's crew did an amazing job revitalizing our deck and stairs for a fair price! Complete night and day difference with the wood after grinding the top layer off and treating it. Alain's guys were punctual and very careful with the finishes on our wood and the glass. Would absolutely choose Paint Loma again."
John Caiozzo

"Alain and Paint Loma did an amazing job with the exterior of our home. We were indecisive about colors and they were supportive and patient. All of their employees were very professional, responsive, and personable. The end result was beautiful and we couldn't be happier."
Christy Goodman
San Diego
"We hired Paint Loma to repair stucco & paint the exterior of our house. From the first visit and estimate, to paint samples to select the perfect color, to end result they were professional, on time and easy to work with. Our home looks great and the owner himself came by to do the final inspection."
Stephanie Eppig

Frequently Asked Questions
Is painting cabinets worth it vs. replacing them?
Cabinet painting typically costs 60-80% less than full replacement while achieving a dramatic transformation. If your cabinets are structurally sound, painting is an excellent investment.
How long does cabinet painting take?
A typical kitchen cabinet painting project takes 5-7 days. This includes removal, thorough prep, multiple coats of paint, drying time, and reinstallation.
Can I use my kitchen during cabinet painting?
We remove cabinet doors and drawers to paint them in our controlled environment. Your counters and appliances remain accessible, but your kitchen won't be fully functional during the project.
What type of paint do you use for cabinets?
We use premium cabinet-grade paints designed specifically for high-use surfaces, including acrylic alkyd and waterborne enamel paints that provide a hard, durable finish.
Will the paint chip or peel over time?
Not when done properly! The key is thorough preparation -- we clean, scuff-sand, and prime every surface before painting. Combined with our premium paints, your cabinets will look beautiful for years.
