Painting services that compete on quality

Residential and commercial work done with old-school care — and modern coatings where performance matters, including COOLWALL® for sun-heavy exteriors.

About Old School Painting

The name is the promise: craftsmanship from an era when the job was done right the first time — plus modern materials engineered for today’s sun, weather, and energy goals.

Based in La Mesa, we still sweat the old-school fundamentals: honest estimates, careful prep, clean lines, and protection of your home. Then we finish with current-generation paints and specialty systems — including heat-reflective COOLWALL® coatings — matched to how Southern California buildings actually weather.
