Family-Operated, Woman-Owned, Built in Paso Robles

A 50-Year Painting Company, Run by the Next Generation

A lot of painting companies in San Luis Obispo County have a story that starts six months ago and a website that uses stock photos. Trombley Painting Company has a different story. The shop has been on Paso Robles Street for decades. The crew lives within 20 miles of it. Christina Trombley grew up in this business, started working in it at 16, and took ownership in 2024.

We have been painting Central Coast homes through droughts, recessions, and 50 years of weather. We are not the cheapest painter in the county, and we are not trying to be. We are the painter you call when you want it done right and you want to talk to a real person who lives in your town.

Learn More About Us

EXTERIOR HOUSE PAINTERS

San Luis Obispo County homes face strong UV in the inland valleys and salt air on the coast. Both work against your paint. Our exterior process starts with a full pressure-wash, scrape, and prime, then two coats of Sherwin-Williams Pro exterior paint sized to your siding and exposure. Every exterior project is backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty.

INTERIOR HOUSE PAINTERS

Most interior repaints take three to five days from start to walkthrough. Our crew protects your floors and furniture, patches drywall, sands trim, and applies two coats of Sherwin-Williams Pro interior paint in your color choice. A free 3-hour color consultation is included with every signed project.

Painting for the San Luis Obispo County Area

We work across all of San Luis Obispo County, from Paso Robles wine country to the Morro Bay and Cambria coast and down through the Five Cities. Every job runs the same way regardless of the zip code.

A real estimator walks the project (in person or by video), writes a fixed quote with the products and timeline spelled out, and then the same crew completes the work from start to walkthrough.

You get daily updates by phone or text, a clean job site at the end of every day, and a 3-year workmanship warranty when the project is signed off. We have been doing this in San Luis Obispo County for nearly 50 years.

Painting more than just walls

Cabinet Painters

A cabinet refinish costs a fraction of a full kitchen replacement and can be completed in five days. Trombley Painting Company uses a shop-spray process. On Day 1, we label and remove your cabinet doors and drawers and transport them to our Paso Robles facility. Day 2, we clean, sand, and degloss.

Day 3, we prime. Day 4, we apply the finish coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald Trim Enamel and Pro Acrylic Urethane. Day 5, we let everything cure and reinstall. The result is a factory-quality finish that holds up to daily use.

Our Professional Painting FAQs

There are dozens of painting companies across San Luis Obispo County, and “best” depends on what you value. If you value local roots, Trombley Painting Company has been painting San Luis Obispo County homes since 1976.

If you value pricing that does not change after the contract is signed, every quote we write is fixed. If you value workmanship that lasts, every job is backed by a 3-year warranty. Get quotes from a few painters, compare those three things, and you will see why we have repeat customers going back four decades.

Exterior projects on a typical San Luis Obispo County home run $4,500 to $25,000, depending on size, prep, and trim package. Interior projects run from $400 for a single room to $20,000 for a full repaint. Cabinet refinishing runs $4,500 to $7,500 on an average kitchen.

Garage floor epoxy runs $3,000 to $7,000. Every quote is fixed, written, and includes the products and timeline so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Yes, more than most home improvements per dollar spent. Industry data consistently shows exterior repaints recoup 50 to 100 percent of cost at resale, and interior repaints recoup 60 to 100 percent.

Beyond resale value, paint protects your siding, trim, and substrates from UV damage and moisture. A $10,000 exterior repaint that prevents $30,000 in siding replacement is the most cost-effective home improvement you can make.

San Luis Obispo County has one of the better year-round painting climates in California. Exterior projects work best from late spring through early fall (May through October) when temperatures stay between 50 and 90 degrees and humidity is low.

Coastal areas like Morro Bay and Cambria add a couple of weeks of marine layer in the morning, so we schedule those jobs for afternoon work. Interior projects can be done year-round.

Sherwin-Williams Pro exterior products on every job. Exact product depends on the surface. Stucco with hairline cracks gets elastomeric coating. Cleaner stucco and siding get acrylic. Bare metal gets a dedicated anti-corrosion primer first. The exact products are spelled out on every written quote so you know what you are paying for.

Sherwin-Williams Pro interior products on every job. Walls typically get an eggshell or matte finish. Trim and doors get a satin or semi-gloss for durability. Bathrooms and kitchens get a moisture-resistant formula. As with exteriors, the exact product is on every written quote.

Five days from start to finish. Day 1, we remove and transport the doors and drawers to our Paso Robles shop. Day 2, we clean, sand, and degloss. Day 3, we prime.

Your kitchen is usable on Day 1 (just without doors) and fully back together on Day 5.

Yes. Office buildings, retail, multi-family complexes, hotels and motels, restaurants, churches, gyms, schools, nursing facilities, and HOA-governed communities.
