I had the absolute pleasure of working with the Chism Brothers team and cannot say enough about them. From Carolyn's grace and timeliness in dealing with our appointment and booking the job, to Guy Wight promptly and perfectly understanding our interior and exterior needs, to finally Grant and Marco being absolutely respectful of our house, our toddler daughters and doing an incredible job to complete an idyllic experience.
I cannot but give Chism Brothers 10 STARS, however Google is limiting me to 5. So I will be sure to give them another top mark review on another system as well.

This was a wonderful company from start to finish. I needed the exterior of my home painted. Mike Chism came out for the estimate. He was on time, professional, and quick. He explained a lot about the different paints for my exterior type and offered suggestions for someone to do some repair work. That company was great. I received a fair quote from Mike and scheduled the work that would last four days. I emailed and spoke with the office manager, Carolyn, a few times and she was very polite, professional, and on the ball. She sent me Gorge as my project manager. What an incredible worker. He showed

I can't thank Victor Jimenez, Carolyn Dillon, and Chism Brothers Painters enough for their exceptional work! The entire crew is very professional, fairly priced, and their attention to detail is just what my old house needed. I live in 1927 Kensington home with old windows and doors that Victor was willing to do a little restoration on before painting. The experience has been better than I expected. Thank you, Chism!

Chism Brothers painting did a great job painting the trim of our house. Great customer service and communication throughout the process. They offer very fair prices for the quality and detail of the work they provided. We especially appreciated the time and effort of Freddie and Tom took to make our house look new again. Would definitely use their services again!

From the careful attention to detail we observed during the estimate, to the responsiveness and excellent communication throughout the process, to the superb final appearance of both the inside and outside of our house-we could not be happier that we went with Chism. A huge thank you to Lisa Ashkins for the recommendation and James Becker at Chism for being so professional, experienced and easy to work with! I would recommend Chism to all my friends and we will certainly call Chism for our future painting needs. Our house looks gorgeous!

This review is long overdue. About 6 years ago I had the most respectful painter in existence visit my place. So much so, that his presence has stuck with me in 2020. He was very knowledgeable of painting upgrades and removing popcorn from the ceiling. The gentleman was named Veirnon Johnson. What great customer service. Thank you for your great work Veirnon and Chism!! You hiring practices prove that you really are a pillar of the community.

Doors, Entertainment center, walls, ceilings. San Diego, CA
After the estimate we hired Chism to paint our family room entertainment center as well the ceiling, moldings and walls. Also, we had them strip and re-finish/stain/varnish both of our front doors. Kitchen ceiling as well.
Victor and David did all the work, every day for 2 weeks.
+ Mike even stopped by to say hello. He and his brother painted our
kitchen walls and cabinets
a few years back.
All the areas were done in exquisite fashion!
Very neet, detailed oriented. Cleaned up great each day. Gave us labeled detailed list of paints

I live in North Mission Hills in a 1000 sq ft Mission Revival house. I initially was going to get 3 estimates but only did one after talking with Victor the estimator. I received the proposal which was very fair and work started at the agreed date and time. Zach and crew were very professional, worked the hours agreed and communicated with me daily. They arrived on time, WORKED during the specified hours and did and OUTSTANDING job. I'm a very particular guy and they were also. I can't begin to convey how pleased I was with their work and most important their "CUSTOMER SERVICE

I just wanted to post an update. Since having the exterior of my house painted, I also had my kitchen cabinets repainted. Again Victor arrived to describe the process and provide an estimate. He is always patient with all of my questions which he thoroughly answers. Zach was my painter. He is professional and personable. I loved his attention to detail and the beautiful work he did. I couldn't be happier.

If I could give a 10 Star review I would! The entire team at Chism Bros. Painting was amazing, professional and very communicative throughout the entire process. We just bought a new home so we needed the entire interior painted. Our first interaction with the team was with their sales manager, Victor, who came to our home to give us an estimate for the job. He was professional and friendly and was very understanding when it came to what we wanted and our budget. We got several bids from local painting companies, and we decided to go with Chism because of their professionalism, competitive pricing

I read the reviews most of them is 5* and a friend in Utah also told us about your company. I wonder if My husband could join your team. He's a hard worker that have good skills and knows how to use many tools with more than 20yrs experiences in residential and commercial (interior, exterior, cabinet painting, etc) and good managing his project that still looking for the best opportunity.
I wonder if you still have job opportunities in your company :)

Just about what you'd order out of a catalog when you want your house painted: friendly and courteous crew who arrives on time, has their own earbuds for music, cleans up meticulously, and at the end of the projected time, presents you with a beautifully painted home. From Carolyn to Veirnon and Tommy, a group of professionals who know what they're doing and like their work. Worth every penny.

We wanted our whole house painted on the inside. We are both home most of the day so we went with people we can trust. Marty Sass and his team: Vic, Jordan, and Tommy, came when we asked them to come (7am) every day - and cleaned up and left before we had to make dinner each night (3pm). So it didn't feel like we were working around them at all. They were detailed, thorough, precise, fast, and friendly! We are very impressed - again!!! It looks beautiful! They outside was done last year and that too was amazing! Thank you Chism Brothers Painting!

Chism Brothers just finished painting the entire exterior of our home. It was a pleasure working with them from start to finish - they did a fantastic job!! James the estimator is very personable and extremely knowledgable! Marty and his crew arrived on time everyday, they were very professional, and polite. The crew cleaned up at the end of each day and took great care not to inconvenience us. Marty kept us updated every step of the way on the completion of our project since it took several weeks! Chism may of been one of my highest bids and I was a little skeptical going with them but in

After obtaining three bids to repaint our small church and cottage, selected Chism Brothers even though they were the highest bid, because of their reputation.
Kurt and his team worked for two weeks and not only did a fine job, but went the extra mile on every decision and did things that they could have gotten away with.
Congregation appears very pleased and the entire place now sparkles.
Thanks, Chism Brothers, for the great work !

Very professional, polite, and they do great work. This is one of the best companies that I have worked with, and I will definitely hire them again. Bernie, the site foreman, and person who did most of the actual painting, deserves special recognition for being extremely thorough with his work and clean-up, and also being very polite and courteous. Don't hesitate to hire these guys, and remember you get what you pay for.

They just finished painting several rooms in my house and stained and cleaned up all the dinged up doors,and door frames. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is notable. Everything was done well, on time and with great attention to detail. They also helped me with some decisionmaking, but only when i asked. The estimator and the lead painter were delightful. am very pleased and will definitely use them again.

My wife and I had our front doors stripped and stained by Chism Brothers and we are very happy with the work that was done. Jim Slater did the estimate as well as the installation of the new hardware. Jim was very professional and his work was outstanding. The bulk of the work, the stripping and staining of the doors, was done by Troy Paine and we couldn't be happier with the work he did. I asked Troy to come back to correct some minor issues and he did it immediately. Our doors look better than they did when we first bought the house back in 1998. I heartedly recommend Chism Brothers

These painters are consummate professionals. Attention to detail and years of experience make for a beautiful outcome. The friendly and well mannered crew do little 'extras' as part of the service. As just a single example, a sitting mother bird and her eggs were carefully treated in spite of the extra time it took.
One thing we noted was that the neighbor's plants and property were treated as respectfully as our own. Since this is not always the case, we were pleased to offer our community a better experience. Premium paint and careful application will make for years of use
