Perfect weather doesn't mean no work: salt air, canyon lots, and some of America's priciest homes make San Diego a premium service market. When you compare painting companies in San Diego, ask every one of them the same three questions: are you licensed and insured for this exact work, who is actually showing up (your crew or a sub), and what does the warranty cover in writing.
