About Franklin Custom Finish
Family-owned San Diego painters since 2015
A Family Business Built on Excellence
Franklin Custom Finish is a family-owned and operated painting company established in 2015 by the Franklin family in Lakeside, California. What started as a small local painting operation has grown into one of San Diego County's most trusted residential painting contractors — but the family values, hands-on approach, and pride in every project have never changed.
We specialize in residential interior painting, exterior painting, and cabinet refinishing, with additional expertise in drywall repair, power washing, stucco repair, and specialty coatings. Every project we take on is treated as if it were our own home — because for a family business like ours, our reputation depends on it.
From coastal La Jolla and Carlsbad to the mountain communities of Alpine and Ramona, and everywhere in between, we bring the same standard of craftsmanship, professionalism, and personal service to every home we touch.
