Got historic painting restoration questions? We've got answers

Here are some of the top questions we hear. If yours isn't on the list, contact us! We're here to help, and are totally transparent about our approach, pricing, and process.

  • How do you keep the historic character of my home when painting or restoring it?

    We study the architectural style and use authentic colors, materials, and techniques that match the home’s original design. Our focus is on restoring rather than replacing so your home keeps its historic charm.

  • Can you remove old lead paint from my house safely?

    Yes. We are EPA Lead-Safe Certified and follow strict protocols for containment and removal. This protects your family while allowing us to restore your home with confidence.

  • Do you repair old wood, stucco, or plaster before painting?

    Absolutely. We repair wood siding, trim, stucco, and plaster so the surface is strong and ready before we apply new finishes. This keeps the restoration both beautiful and structurally sound.

  • Why should I restore old features instead of replacing them with new ones?

    Restoration preserves original craftsmanship and character that new materials can’t match. It’s often more cost-effective than replacement and helps maintain the architectural history of your neighborhood.

  • Why choose Chism Brothers for historic restorations in San Diego?
