Down­town San Diego Paint­ing Company

Three Gen­er­a­tions of Painters serv­ing the Down­town, Old Town & Banker’s Hill areas

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 (Mesa Col­lege & SDSU), 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 down­town area paint­ing com­pa­ny serv­ing the res­i­dences, builders and small busi­ness­es in and around the down­town. If you live in a sin­gle fam­i­ly home or a high-rise, we are very famil­iar work­ing on any res­i­den­tial home. We have hun­dreds of hap­py and repeat clients through­out the San Diego area. You can review some of the report cards from home­own­ers in Down­town 92101 area here.
