Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

  • Do you provide free estimates?

    Yes, we offer estimates for painting and refinishing projects in San Diego. Reach out with your project details and we will arrange a time to assess the scope of work and provide you with an accurate, written estimate.

  • What type of paint products do you use?

    We use quality, professional-grade coatings suited to San Diego's climate conditions. Product selection depends on the surface type, location, and finish requirements of your project. We discuss options with you during the estimate process.

  • How do you prepare surfaces before painting?

    Proper preparation is central to everything we do. We clean surfaces, sand as needed, fill cracks and holes, apply primer where required, and address any drywall damage before applying any finish coat. Skipping prep leads to premature failure, and we do not skip it.

  • Can Precision Strokes Painting handle large HOA painting projects?

    Yes. We have extensive experience managing large HOA painting projects in San Diego. We coordinate with boards and property managers, work within color guidelines, and schedule work to minimize disruption for residents across multi-unit communities.

  • Do you repair drywall before painting?

    Yes. Our team handles drywall repair as part of the overall painting process or as a standalone service. We patch holes, fix cracks, address water-damaged sections, and restore surfaces to a smooth, paintable condition before any coating is applied.

  • How does cabinet refinishing work?

    Cabinet refinishing involves cleaning, sanding, priming, and applying a durable finish coat to existing cabinet surfaces. We do not replace the boxes or doors unless necessary. The result is a refreshed look and improved durability without the cost of full cabinet replacement.

  • What is included in your exterior painting service?

    Our exterior painting service includes surface inspection, pressure washing, scraping and sanding, primer application where needed, and finish coat application. We use coatings that are rated for exposure to San Diego's sun, salt air, and seasonal moisture shifts.

  • How long does an interior painting project typically take?

    Project timelines vary based on the number of rooms, surface condition, and scope of prep work required. We provide a realistic timeline estimate before any project begins and communicate any changes that arise during the work.

  • Do you move furniture before painting interiors?

    We protect furniture and floors before beginning interior painting. For larger or heavier pieces, we ask that homeowners move them in advance when possible. We cover everything in the work zone to prevent paint contact.

  • Can you match existing paint colors?

    Yes. We can match existing colors using paint brand tools and spectrophotometers available through our material suppliers. Bring a paint chip or we can take a sample from the wall during our site visit in San Diego.

  • Is Precision Strokes Painting licensed and insured?

    Yes. We are a licensed and insured painting contractor operating in San Diego, California. Proof of insurance and licensing information is available upon request before any project begins.

  • Do you offer deck and fence staining for older, weathered wood?

    Yes. Older, weathered wood requires more thorough cleaning and possibly light sanding before staining. We assess the condition of your deck or fence during the estimate and recommend the appropriate product and process based on the wood's current state.

  • How do I prepare my home before your crew arrives?

    We recommend clearing small items from shelves in painted rooms, securing pets, and identifying any specific areas of concern before we arrive. We handle the rest, including masking, draping, and protecting surfaces throughout the workspace.

  • What makes Precision Strokes Painting different from other painters in San Diego?

    We were built on field experience, not subcontracting. Anthony Lyndon and Sam Cotton remain involved in the business, and our team reflects the same standards they established from day one. We are accountable, we communicate, and we do not leave until the work is done right.

  • How do I get started with Precision Strokes Painting?

    Contact us directly with your project details, property address in San Diego, and a brief description of what you need. We will schedule a site visit, assess the scope, and provide a written estimate so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
