"We had Ross Painting Group paint our exterior and I'm really glad we went with them. The estimate was straightforward and easy to understand — no pressure, no confusion, just clear communication from the beginning. Chilo especially did an amazing job — you can tell he really cares about quality. The house looks so much better now, clean and refreshed."

The Person Behind the Work
Meet Victor Ross
Victor Ross has been transforming Southern California homes for over 8 years. With a degree in architecture, he brings something most painters simply don't have — an eye for structure, proportion, and how color fundamentally changes how a space feels. Before founding his own company, he spent years absorbing every detail of what separates a lasting finish from a rushed one.
When he founded Ross Painting Group, the name was intentional. "Ross" — his last name — stands for the personal accountability he brings to every project. Not a faceless brand, but a promise signed by him.
"Most painters rush the prep to get to the next job. I'd rather take an extra day and have a finish that lasts fifteen years."

Where We Work
San Diego Is Our Home Market
Our primary service area is San Diego and nearby communities. Additional Southern California markets are available by project.
Our California contractor license number is #1151078. Check the current contractor record with CSLB and request the insurance documentation needed for your project. Match the contractor identity on the estimate and agreement to the supporting documents. A website statement is not a substitute for checking current licensing and coverage before hiring.
Tell the estimator about cracks, holes, damaged areas and stains before the work is priced. Victor describes localized patching and texture work as part of an agreed preparation scope; substantial drywall work and full wall smoothing are separate decisions. A stain or recurring damage may need assessment beyond repainting. Confirm the repairs, primer and expected texture in the estimate instead of assuming paint will hide every existing defect.
Victor checks siding, fascia, eaves and other visible wood during the walkthrough. Loose coating and damaged sections can change the preparation or repair scope. Identify which repairs or replacements are included before painting; concealed or structural problems are not automatically solved by a new finish. A written estimate should distinguish the agreed painting work from additional repairs.
Preparation starts with the existing coating and surface condition. We discuss protection, local repairs, sanding and priming as needed for the agreed surfaces. Local texture repair does not automatically include fully smoothing every wall. For exterior work, loose coatings, damaged wood and stucco repairs may require different preparation. The written scope identifies what is included before work starts.
Choose colors for your actual room, furnishings and light rather than a general neighborhood trend. Victor describes a Dunn-Edwards sample option through the company account: confirm the current arrangement, test your selected colors at home and approve the choice before application. Samples help you make the decision; they are not a full interior-design service or a guarantee that a color looks identical under every light.
Discuss the surface, appearance and cleaning expectations with the estimator. Victor commonly describes eggshell or satin for walls, flat for ceilings and satin or semi-gloss for cabinet work. These are project examples, not a specification for every room. Confirm the actual product and sheen, especially for existing glossy coatings, woodwork and moisture-prone spaces.
Start with an inspection and a written scope covering the surfaces and repairs. Preparation can include cleaning, removing loose coating, sanding and the appropriate primer. Victor describes spray with back-rolling for some textured stucco or older dry siding, while smoother siding and trim may call for a different method. Agree the coating system and application plan for the actual substrate rather than expecting one method or pressure setting on every home.
Confirm which walls, ceilings, trim or cabinets are included and how access will work. Clear counters and personal items, and agree protection for the surfaces that remain. Victor treats kitchen cabinets as a separate finishing scope from wall painting. Do not assume the kitchen will be usable during cabinet work. Existing moisture or recurring damage needs assessment; painting alone is not a promise to solve its cause.
Have the existing coating and affected surface inspected before repainting. Removing loose material, preparing the stable edges, making the agreed repairs and selecting a compatible primer can form part of the scope. Victor describes cases where apparently small cracks revealed a loose stucco area on closer inspection. Do not assume every crack has the same cause or that a topcoat alone will solve the problem.
Touch-dry, ready for another coat and fully cured are different stages. Ask for the instructions for the actual coating, substrate and site conditions rather than relying on one generic timetable. Victor advises gentle early handling of cabinet finishes, but his initial-care guidance is not a universal full-cure time. Confirm room access, ventilation and cleaning instructions with the team before normal use resumes.
Stucco repair addresses the damaged areas identified during the walkthrough before exterior finishing. Victor describes checking whether a crack is only superficial or whether material is loose and needs further work. The estimate should identify the proposed repairs and texture expectations. Concealed damage, structural concerns and water intrusion may need separate assessment; they should not be treated as problems that paint automatically fixes.
Exterior painting cost depends on the surfaces included, existing coating condition, repairs, number of stories, access and the selected coating system. Compare estimates that cover the same walls, trim, preparation and repairs. Request a site assessment and a written estimate for your property; a project-specific scope is more useful than a general price range.
Cabinet painting cost depends on the number of doors and drawer fronts, cabinet material, existing finish, repairs and whether boxes, exposed ends or interiors are included. The estimate should identify preparation, primer, topcoat, application method and reinstallation. Discuss the finishing location, kitchen access and expected schedule before work starts.
Residential painting is work on the agreed surfaces of a home, such as walls, ceilings, doors, trim, exterior siding or stucco. Cabinets are a separate scope when included. The estimate should identify preparation, repairs, protection, finish and exclusions. In an occupied home, Victor agrees room access with the household and reviews the project with the crew before work begins.
Commercial work needs an agreed scope and access plan for the property, not simply a larger residential quote. Victor has described repainting vacant salon units between tenants. That example does not establish night shifts, work around customers or zero business interruption. Confirm work zones, scheduling, surfaces and any property-specific requirements before agreeing to the project.
Compare the contractor identity, current licensing and insurance documentation, relevant real projects and a written scope. Ask who inspects the property, how preparation and repairs are identified, and what is excluded. Confirm the proposed product system, access plan and written warranty terms. A lower headline quote may cover different surfaces or work, so compare the actual scope rather than assuming every estimate is equivalent.
Compare the contractor identity, license, project examples and written scope, not just the headline price. Ross Painting Group is CA Licensed #1151078. Victor or another estimator reviews the property, and the crew reviews the agreed scope before work begins. Ask for the written warranty terms and confirm the surfaces, preparation, access and finished appearance. We also serve Orange County and Los Angeles. Call (619) 917-9088 or fill out the estimate form — we respond within 10 minutes during business hours, Monday through Saturday.
A front-door estimate should identify the material, existing finish, defects, hardware work and desired appearance. Agree preparation, primer and finish for that door rather than assuming a universal coating system. Confirm access while the door is being worked on and when hardware can be used. Existing wood texture and damage may affect the result; a fresh finish is not a promise of a new factory-made door.
List the baseboards, casing and other trim to be painted separately from walls. Victor describes using different products for trim and doors on different projects, so confirm the proposed system and sheen. Agree filling, sanding, masking and any repairs in the scope. If flooring or new baseboards are being installed, coordinate final painting with those trades to reduce later damage and extra touch-ups.
Discuss ceiling condition, texture, height and lighting during the estimate. Victor usually describes flat finishes for ceilings and selects application methods for the job. Local preparation is not the same as fully smoothing a ceiling. Agree the surfaces and expected finish before work starts; repairs or marks that require additional work should be identified instead of promising a flawless result under every lighting condition.
Material quantities depend on the surfaces measured, their texture and condition, the product coverage and the agreed coating system. A floor-area figure alone does not establish the amount of exterior paint needed. Victor measures and reviews the property before preparing the estimate. Confirm materials in the written scope rather than using a generic gallons-per-house figure to set your project budget.
Have the existing wallpaper, adhesion and wall condition assessed before deciding between removal and painting. Ask what preparation and finish are proposed and which wall repairs would be separate. Painting is not the same service as installing new wallpaper. The condition behind old paper may only become clear during removal, so do not assume one method or primer is appropriate for every wall.
Removal cost depends on the paper, layers, adhesion, access and condition of the wall beneath. Ask for removal and the expected follow-up preparation to be identified in the written scope. Additional damage may become apparent when the paper is removed. A general room-price figure should not be treated as a Ross quote without an assessment of the actual job.
The project starts with a walkthrough and an agreed list of surfaces, repairs and finish expectations. Before work, move small belongings from the walls, remove fragile decorations and empty closets being painted. Coordinate heavy furniture and room access with the team. Victor describes localized preparation, protection and the agreed coating system, followed by inspection of coverage and visible defects. Full wall smoothing and major drywall work are not automatic repaint inclusions.
Cabinet painting changes the finish of suitable cabinet boxes, doors and drawer fronts while retaining the existing layout. It can be worth considering when the boxes are sound and you want a color change. Damaged materials or an unsuitable layout may call for repair, refacing or replacement. Preparation, primer and the finishing system should be selected for the existing cabinet material and coating. Compare the actual scope of those options before deciding.
Ask for the written warranty terms for your project before work begins. The document should identify the covered work, coverage period, exclusions, maintenance requirements and how to report a concern. Confirm those terms alongside the estimate instead of assuming that every surface or type of damage has the same coverage.
