Jacob Thoresen, Owner & Lead Painter
Trusted Craftsmanship in San Diego County
Built on family & craftsmanship
Thoresen Painting Co. started the way a lot of good things do, with family. I learned the trade working alongside my father, honing my skills on real job sites long before I thought about running my own company. Eventually I decided to branch out and build something of my own, and I haven't looked back since.
I started Thoresen Painting to leave a legacy greater than myself. We're more than a painting company. We're a family, and every customer becomes part of it. That's not a tagline; it's how we work. We treat every homeowner with respect and honesty, and I personally help train the crew on the best painting practices so our customers get the highest-quality result on every job.
We're a small team by design. Every estimate comes from an owner, every project is overseen by someone with skin in the game, and every crew member is vetted and trained to our standard, never a subcontractor's, and never a franchise call center.

Prep is everything. We won't cut corners on surface prep, because that's where results are actually made.
Straight dealing. Transparent pricing, clean job sites, and timelines we actually keep.
