Domitilo
Founder & Master Painter
Originating from Durango, Mexico Domitilo is now a proud founder of his own company, even better, he passed down his knowledge to his daughter. With decades of experience under his belt, my dad is the rock of our team. He started as a apprentice and continued learning as he began dreaming of owning his own company one day. He’s taught us the value of hard work, precision, and never leaving a job until it’s done right. He’s our go-to expert for everything from brush technique to old-school prep methods that still beat the rest.
Known for: Passion of the job, long stories, and unmatched work ethic.
Teresa
Founder/ CFO
Originating from Guadalajara, Mexico my amazing mom (who serves as the Chief Financial Officer) is behind the scenes, making sure our family painting business runs smoothly. She expertly manages finances and budgets to keep everything on track, so we can focus on delivering top-quality painting services to you.
Elena
Owner & Project Manager
As a woman-owned and operated business, I lead every project with a hands-on approach and a commitment to quality, communication, and care. I work closely with each client to make sure every detail — from the first quote to the final walkthrough — exceeds expectations.
Fun fact: I’m the one picking up paint samples, answering your questions, and making sure the crew’s coffee is strong and ready by 8 a.m.d
Samir

Originating from Santa Marta, Colombia my husband brings energy, precision, and a calm, can-do attitude to every project. He leads our day-to-day work in the field, making sure timelines are met, surfaces are prepped, and finishes are flawless. Clients love our wife/husband teamwork.

Known for its rich history, strong sense of community, and scenic beauty, Altadena offers a unique blend of suburban tranquility and easy access to urban amenities.
Altadena is celebrated for its diverse and engaged population. Historically, it has been a haven for Black families seeking homeownership opportunities during times of discrimination. This legacy continues today, with residents actively involved in preserving the area’s heritage and fostering a welcoming environment for all.

Nature enthusiasts will appreciate Altadena’s proximity to the San Gabriel Mountains, offering numerous hiking trails, including the popular Eaton Canyon and Mount Lowe Railway Trail. These trails provide opportunities for outdoor activities and stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Holiday Traditions
A highlight of the community’s annual events is Christmas Tree Lane, a tradition dating back to 1920. This historic display features a mile-long stretch of deodar cedar trees adorned with thousands of lights, drawing visitors from near and far each December.
Resilience in the Face of Adversity
Despite the challenges, the Altadena community remains resilient. Local businesses are reopening, and residents are committed to rebuilding their homes and lives.
