Apartment
Painting
San Diego.
Property managers and landlords across San Diego County call Penney's when they need unit turnover done right — consistent color, same crew across every unit, rooms back on the market fast. No subcontractors. Joe or Alex on every job.
Property managers.
Landlords. Developers.
Most apartment painting contractors send whoever is available that week. The color is a little different unit to unit. The prep varies. The manager gets calls.
We do not work that way. The same crew that painted unit 101 paints unit 204. Same paint formula, same prep standard, same result. We have been doing commercial work across San Diego County for 18 years — including with Mercer Properties, one of our long-term partners.
- Unit turnover painting
Empty unit, clean slate. We prep walls, patch holes from fixtures, prime, and apply two finish coats. Ready for photos in 1–2 days depending on unit size.
- Full building exterior repaints
Stucco, trim, fascia, railings, and gates. Pressure wash, repair cracks, prime, paint. One mobilization for the whole building.
- Common area painting
Lobbies, hallways, laundry rooms, mailbox areas, and leasing offices. Low-odor paint for occupied buildings, night scheduling when needed.
- New construction touch-ups
Developers finishing a building before occupancy. We coordinate with GCs and work to the project schedule, not a residential one.
- Multi-building property management
If you manage more than one property, we set up a standing arrangement: same crew, documented color specs per property, predictable scheduling.
From vacant unit
to market-ready.
Every vacancy day costs you rent. Our process is designed around your schedule, not ours — we quote fast, start on your timeline, and leave the unit clean and ready to show.
- 1Walk the unit
Joe or Alex inspects condition, notes patch work, confirms scope and color. No surprises in the final invoice.
- 2Quote same day
Most unit turnover quotes are sent within 24 hours of the walk. Commercial volume clients get a standing rate card so there is no back-and-forth on every unit.
- 3Schedule around tenants
For occupied buildings, we coordinate move-out/move-in dates and work in the window you give us. Night and weekend availability for common areas.
- 4Prep first, always
Patch holes, skim damaged drywall, clean walls. Paint over a poorly prepped wall looks like paint over a poorly prepped wall.
- 5Apply two coats
One coat is a primer coat. Two coats is a finish. We do not leave a unit on one coat — occupied or not.
- 6Document color specs
We record the paint formula, sheen, and supplier for every property we work on. When the next unit turns over, the color matches without a guessing game.
- 7Final walkthrough
Joe or Alex walks every room before we close the job. Any touch-up gets done before we leave, not on a callback.
The difference is who shows up
We do not send whoever is available. Joe or Alex runs the job. The crew has been with us for years.
Same materials, same prep, same crew. Unit 12 looks like unit 1, even if they were painted six months apart.
Occupied building with tenants? We work around them — evenings, weekends, whatever the schedule requires.
We record every formula. When you call us two years later for another unit, we have the color on file.
Licensed, bonded, and insured in California. Verify the license on the CSLB website — it takes 30 seconds.
Joe or Alex answers. Not a scheduler, not a coordinator. The person who knows your property picks up.
Walk the job with Joe or Alex.
