Licensed house painters in San Diego, CA

Q: How many licensed house painters are in San Diego?

467 house painters hold an active Contractors State License Board (CSLB) licence with a mailing address in San Diego, checked on 3 November 2026. 249 of them have been licensed for 10 years or more.

Q: Does a house painter need a licence in California?

Yes, when the whole job, labour and materials, costs $1,000 or more or needs a permit. Below that, California's minor-work exemption (B&P Code 7048) applies, but only if they work alone. Look for an active C-33 licence.

Q: How do I check a house painter's licence in San Diego?

Ask for the licence number and look it up on the CSLB website, or search this page. Every house painter listed here was matched to an active licence on the CSLB register.

Q: Which house painters rank highest in San Diego?

By our published formula (years licensed, complaint record, bond and insurance, and Google reviews), the top three are Stoner Brad L Painting INC (96), Tr Construction (96), Paint Guru The (95). Paying or claiming a listing never changes the order.

Q: How much do house painters charge in San Diego?

House painters in the San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad metro earn a median $26.91 an hour (BLS, May 2025); contractors typically bill about twice the wage to cover insurance, overhead and profit.

Q: Do I need a lead-safe certified house painter in San Diego?

If your home was built before 1978 and the work disturbs paint, yes: federal law requires an EPA Lead-Safe certified firm. 52% of homes here were built before 1980 (US Census, ACS 2024 5-year), and 34 of the 467 licensed house painters listed are certified.
