OUR STORY

Welcome to West Coast Painting and Finishing, where passion and precision paint a masterpiece of innovation and quality. Our journey is one of dedication, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to excellence in the painting industry.

The Genesis

Our story began in 1990, when our founder started working with Mike Kuhar at California’s Best Refinishing Company. As a helper, Hector immersed himself in learning new techniques and paint mixtures that were making waves in the industry. This early exposure laid the foundation for what would become a lifelong passion for painting.

Early Growth

By 1998, he began taking on small jobs independently. His first project, a garage door on Balboa Island, came through as a recommendation from his then boss, Mike Kuhar. Balancing small projects during days off, he also worked at Pacific Bluffs Industrial Park, handling maintenance and painting tasks. It was during this time that he acquired his first California license as a Handyman in Costa Mesa.

Expanding Expertise

In 2001, after years of invaluable learning at California’s Best Refinishing Company, he transitioned to Local Brush, renowned as the best painting house in Southern California at the time. Here, he sharpened his skills in material application techniques, water-based and oil-based painting, and mastered various roller and brush techniques.

The Birth of Leon’s Painting

In 2005, Leon’s Painting was founded. Driven by a passion for delivering unparalleled quality and service, he embarked on his entrepreneurial journey.

Becoming a Contractor

By 2007, he acquired his first California State License Board (CSLB) certification, officially beginning his journey as a licensed contractor. This milestone marked the start of a new era, characterized by growth and the pursuit of excellence.

The Shop and Quality Finishes

In the same year, an opportunity to acquire a shop equipped with spray booths presented itself. This addition allowed Leon’s Painting to offer quality finishes and expand its services, setting a new standard for craftsmanship and precision in the industry.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, starting a new stage and newly branded, we, West Coast Painting and Finish, will remain committed to our core values of quality, integrity, and excellence. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and are confident that, with the support of our customers, partners, and community, we will continue to achieve great things.
