Absolutely thrilled with the work Carlos and his crew did on our home! They painted our ceilings, walls, and baseboards to perfection. They also removed old wallpaper in the primary, took down a large mirror in another room, and old carpet that was glued to the hard wood floors in multiple places! Carlos and his team were professional, reliable, and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was done to our satisfaction. Don’t hesitate to hire Carlos and his crew- you won’t be disappointed!

Carlos is a high quality painter, experienced professional / businessman and has proven quite reliable, unlike many other contractors I have worked with. You would do well to hire him!

Oh my. Carlos and his team are fantastic. They were right on time and worked hard the entire time. They had to refinish some weathered wood facia. The work they did was great. Highly recommend company.

We hired CSD initially to refinish our kitchen cabinets. The result was a finish that was smooth as silk. The cabinets look like new. They paid attention to details to make sure nothing was missed. They were never hesitant to fix any slight imperfection. They also installed the new door hardware and hinges. Their level of service, results, and professionalism led me to giving them more projects which included installing flooring in our kitchen and laundry room, drywall installation and painting, and they even redid our front and side porches with composite decking. We are completely satisfied with everything they did. If you want a contractor who responds quickly when you call, is accountable and stands behind his work, provides good quality work at a fair price, then Carlos is your man. Thanks, Carlos!

Carlos and his team are truly best in class. We live in Fallbrook and, after seeing the transformative staining work he did on our neighbors exterior log house frame, we hired him to salvage our weathered wooden front door. Carlos took the time to understand what I wanted fixed and he totally salvaged it. We then brought him in to repaint the exterior of the house, and he totally elevated the look and feel of the house, inspiring a few others on the street to repaint theirs too! 😁. He also rebuilt and painted our front deck and railing, and came back after the heavy winter rains to do touch ups. Professional, very fairly priced, quick to respond, on time and fast. Can’t say enough great things!

Carlos is professional, detailed and a pleasure to work with. In addition to the paint he completed some recommended window frame repairs, filled a ton of small nail and screw holes that were driven in over the years. There is a lot of wood paneling in the house which Carlos and crew masterfully covered up. All-in-all a fantastic job! I look forward to working with Carlos on future projects.

We recently moved into a 1600 sq. ft. house in Champagne village which was painted all gray, a color that didn’t work for us. We wanted to make the place our own, with colors of our choosing and a style consistent with current trends, so decided to get our new house completely repainted. We had been consulting with an interior design/paint color specialist who had advised us on how to use the color combinations we love in such a way as to accentuate the home’s unique features, often using more than one color within the same area space create maximum visual interest. He also specified where one paint color should end, and another begin, and in the case of using two colors within the same area space, where to apply each color to create maximum visual interest. We knew that we needed an experienced and skillful painter to do this justice and were fortunate enough to be referred to Carlos Soto from CSD painting who was well known in Champagne Village and came highly recommended. From the very first meeting with Carlos, we were sure that he would be the right person for the job. After his initial walkthrough of the property, and our discussion with him about our vision, we felt confident that he had a good understanding of what was needed, and the required expertise. He and his business partner Ruth arrived at the scheduled time, and we went over the very complicated color choices/sheens for each room, specifying exactly where each color transition would occur. Ruth took notes and pictures to make sure they had it correct. I should mention that due to a misunderstanding on our part regarding which areas would be painted first, we were not well prepared. Despite the fact that all of our belongings, which had just been moved in, were totally in the way, Carlos assured us that it wasn’t a problem, they would work around it. They were meticulous in moving things carefully into the middle and covering all our furniture and flooring while they initially painted the ceiling and trim and then in turn, each of the rooms and closets. The results exceeded our expectations! The accuracy of the work and crisp clean lines, especially at the corners and color transitions, was impressive, and we love how the different colors work together to create a truly magical effect. This was no mean feat – all in all there were 12 separate colors/sheens used. We were very impressed with the professionality and efficiency of CSD Painters. They were always on time, finished the job in the quoted timeframe and always cleaned up. They were very communicative and open to suggestions or deviations from the original instructions. They also did a few other repairs that came up while they were working on the project. Alex, Carlos’s assistant, is an extremely talented and hardworking painter, with a great demeanor. After completion of the project, we were thrilled, but then decided to have the team come back and paint the doors, door frames and windowsills so that everything matched and looked clean and fresh. The end result was absolutely stunning, and the overall effect is to make the place look warm and inviting, and almost Zen-like. Because we had the utmost confidence in Carlos’s experience and workmanship, we then decided to have him install handles (over 50) on our cabinetry - we knew that we could hire a handyman, but wanted to make sure the job was done right! We would use this company again in a heartbeat and would definitely recommend their services to anyone needing a top-notch painting job done at a fair price.

Carlos’ preparation, attention to detail and the results are outstanding. His work is exceptional! He is dependable, on time, has an excellent crew and a very fine person. I recommend him without hesitation.

CSD Painting did an excellent job painting my home! Professional from beginning to end with excellent results, I highly recommend CSD!

I cannot recommend working with Carlos and his team more. My husband and I were absolutely blown away by not only by their quality of work and attention to detail, but also their professionalism. Carlos completely transformed our new house and we’re so grateful that we found him! It’s very clear that he takes a lot of pride in his work and the way he treats his clients. We’ll be referring him to all of our friends/family in San Diego.

Carlos and his crew painted the exterior of our entire house. Carlos was courteous, professional and on time! He and his crew showed up every day they said they would and finished the entire project within the stated timeframe. They provided quality work and I would definitely recommend Carlos and his crew for future work.
