About PaintRite Painters
Locally owned and operated since 1994. Blending traditional principles with modern methods — because when it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
Started by a painter who cared about the details.
PaintRite Painters was founded over 30 years ago by Tony Zuniga, a passionate painter with a vision to serve San Diego's residents and businesses. It began as a small, family-owned business with a simple idea: do the work properly, treat people honestly, and let the results bring the next customer.
Three decades later, PaintRite has grown into a reputable painting contractor serving all of San Diego County — while staying exactly what it started as: a family-operated enterprise that blends traditional principles with modern methods.
That motto — “When it's worth doing right”— isn't marketing. It's the standard every crew is held to, on every job, whether it's a single bedroom in Lemon Grove or a full commercial exterior in Carlsbad.
Integrity, professionalism, craftsmanship.
Three values that decide how we quote, how we prep, and how we leave your property at the end of the day.
Integrity
Honest estimates, honest timelines, honest answers. If something on your property needs attention before paint goes on it, you'll hear about it — even when that's not the easy conversation.
Professionalism
Crews that show up when they said they would, protect your floors and furniture, clean up daily, and communicate clearly from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Craftsmanship
Meticulous prep, premium paints and materials, and clean lines that hold up. The finish is what you see — the preparation underneath it is what makes it last.

It depends on square footage, surface condition, prep and repair needs, and the finish you choose. That's why estimates are free and specific to your property — we walk the job, talk through your goals, and give you a clear number with no obligation.
Both. Interior projects can include wood and drywall repair plus acoustic ceiling and wallpaper removal. Exterior projects can include wood and stucco repair and decorative concrete coating. Paint over a problem and you've still got the problem — so we fix it first.
Premium paints and materials throughout, selected for the surface and how it's exposed. San Diego sun and coastal salt air are hard on exteriors, so we spec finishes built to hold up to them.
All across San Diego County — Chula Vista, Escondido, Oceanside, Del Mar, Ramona, La Mesa, Solana Beach, National City, El Cajon, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Lemon Grove, Fallbrook, Encinitas, and Vista. Not sure if you're in range? Just give us a call.
A single interior room is often a day or two; a full exterior repaint typically runs several days depending on prep and repair work. We give you a realistic timeline up front and tell you promptly if anything changes it.
