Why Choose American Painting

Any Ca. Licensed Contractor must have a performance bond that guarantess your project will be finished properly, in addition to that, we are fully insured for a minimum of 1 Millioon dollars for your protection. Our Ca. Lic # is 505-334 and you can always check our status for free through the C.S.L.B. site, a decision of the California Consumers Affairs, funded by the state for your protection.

We have been servicing the San Diego area since 1992 and previously we were Malibu Painting since 1984, procuring our Ca. Licensed C-33 status in 1987, the year we were first licensed in Ca., however, our history goes back to Boston, painting Victorian homes since the tender age of 19.

California Contract law dictates that all work must be guaranteed no matter what for the first year, if negligent for four years, and further that all claims made to consumer affairs are to be investigated for up to ten years after completion. Beyond the normal legal contractor warranties I also offer extended warranties for a small fee, so that you can rest assured that all work done by me I will stand behind.

I proudly come from a family of Doctors, I was educated in the best private schools, I speak several languages, i have served the rich and famous in Los Angeles and Malibu, I am well-versed in treating others with the dignity they deserve and respecting their personal space and their property. I’m also the only one that will step into your home to complete the project, unlike my competitors, that will at times hire sketchy crews to get in and out of your space as fast as possible.
