Old School Painting is a La Mesa painting company with a simple belief: the craftsmanship of the past still matters — and today’s paint technology makes that craft even better.
Kevin is the founder of Old School Painting. He built the company on careful prep, honest communication, and finishes that hold up — no shortcuts, no “spray and pray.” That old-school standard is why the name fits.
But “old school” does not mean old products. We pair proven workmanship with modern coatings and systems — including TEX-COTE® COOLWALL® heat-reflective exteriors — so your project looks right and performs for Southern California sun, UV, and weather.
Whether the job is a single interior room, a full house exterior, or a COOLWALL® upgrade on hot elevations, the standard is the same: do it right the first time, with the best materials for the job.
Licensed, insured, bonded
Old School Painting is a California licensed painting contractor (CSLB #1086098), fully insured for commercial and residential projects, and bonded. You get a professional painting contractor — not a flyer-on-a-pole gamble.
