About Dave Smith
35+ years. One standard.
DS Painting has been a fixture on the Central Coast since 1990. Locally owned, locally run, and personally accountable for every job we put our name on.
Built on relationships. Run on prep.
Dave Smith founded DS Painting in 1990 with a simple idea: a paint job is only as good as the prep that goes into it. Three and a half decades later, that's still the rule on every job site.
The crew is small on purpose. Dave is on every estimate, on most job sites, and reachable on his cell phone. When you hire DS Painting, you're hiring Dave โ not a sales rep, not a sub-contracted crew, not a name on a truck. The same hands that built the reputation are the ones doing the work on your property.
The business has grown over the years through one channel: word of mouth. Homeowners refer their neighbors. Property managers refer their colleagues. The same families come back a decade later when it's time to repaint. That's the only marketing plan that's ever mattered.
