Why San Diego Businesses Choose Chism

At Chism Broth­ers Paint­ing, we believe in the val­ue of com­mer­cial paint­ing done right, fol­lowed by a strate­gic main­te­nance plan to pro­tect your investments.


Our approach and phi­los­o­phy is a lit­tle dif­fer­ent. With a back­ground and pedi­gree in high-end res­i­den­tial paint­ing, we know how to work atten­tive­ly, care­ful­ly, and deliv­er an over­all paint­ing expe­ri­ence that’s actu­al­ly enjoy­able and stress-free.


This same approach and atten­tion to detail is car­ried over to our larg­er-scale com­mer­cial projects as well. Yes, we’re mind­ful of dead­lines, bud­gets, and effi­cien­cy — we have to be. But we’re also mind­ful of what it takes to win a cus­tomer for life.


If we do part­ner togeth­er, we can guar­an­tee that the project will be fin­ished as promised with char­ac­ter and crafts­man­ship, and that we’ll stand behind that work.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

Our Process

No shortcuts. No chaos. Just a smooth, reliable experience from first call to final walkthrough.

Walk the Property

We start by walking your property with you. We listen, take notes, assess surface conditions, and help identify issues before they become bigger problems.

Build the Plan

You’ll receive a clear, detailed proposal built by our commercial project estimator. Once approved, your project is scheduled and managed by our production team—so you know exactly what’s happening, when, and why.

Execute the Work

Our skilled painters show up prepared and professional. Your dedicated project manager oversees the work, keeps communication flowing, and ensures everything stays on schedule and on spec.

Maintain & Protect

Once the job is done, we don’t disappear. Whether it’s a warranty walkthrough, a proactive maintenance plan, or a quick site revisit, we’re here to help you keep your property looking its best long after the last brushstroke.

ABOUT US

Who We Work With

We specialize in repaints, maintenance painting, and light general contracting for commercial and institutional properties. But more than that—our clients rely on us to be their first call when something doesn’t look right on their property.


Across San Diego County, we’ve seen it all—sun damage, substrate failure, moisture issues, wear from high-traffic environments, and everything in between. With over 40 years of hands-on commercial experience, we know how to assess the situation, offer practical next steps, and either take care of it ourselves or bring in a trusted partner.


Painting is our specialty—but being your go-to problem-solver is what sets us apart.
