Beyond
the surface.

Exceptional finishes begin with people you can trust in your home. Our handpicked, background-checked teams pair skilled application with respect for your space, delivering durable, factory-quality finishes.

We reward focused work, efficient turnaround, and lasting value. Teams organize workspaces, review safety daily, and use appropriate protective equipment. Wet-paint and access notices help identify active work areas until a room is complete. To date, our work sites have had no serious or fatal injuries. We have completed every contracted project without a major legal dispute.

Founded in 2006 by Ellis Thompson, Corona Del Mar Painting serves Orange County and Los Angeles. Ellis holds dual American and French citizenship, with family in both countries.

His clients include A-list actors, directors, producers, technology company owners, and business leaders, many becoming friends and extended family. A family man with a love of culture, Ellis brings personal care to every project, from the first plan to the final finish.
