Chism Broth­ers Paint­ing Company

Three Gen­er­a­tions of Painters serv­ing the Down­town Com­mu­ni­ty of San Diego

As young boys, the broth­ers grew up not far from Down­town San Diego in the com­mu­ni­ty of Mis­sion Hills! Michael and Patrick Chism learned the skills of paint­ing under the appren­tice­ship of their father Mil­ton Chism, him­self a small San Diego house painter since the 1930s. While they fin­ished their mil­i­tary ser­vice and start­ed col­lege, the broth­ers con­tin­ued to hone their craft work­ing for La Jol­la con­trac­tor, Otto Welp. Upon the sud­den death of Mr. Welp, they branched out on their own and in 1982 found­ed Chism Broth­ers Painting. 

Since its incep­tion, Chism Broth­ers Paint­ing has strived to become the lead­ing paint­ing com­pa­ny serv­ing many res­i­dences in the down­town area. We’ve worked on both sin­gle fam­i­ly homes as well as many of the well known high-rise con­do­mini­ums. Our goal is sim­ply this, to pro­vide a one of a kind expe­ri­ence, sim­ply by doing the right thing. We have hun­dreds of hap­py and repeat clients through­out San Diego. You can review some of the report cards from home­own­ers in the 92101 area here or 92103.
