CSLB License #772858 holder Frankfather Painting in Lakeside has delivered C-33 interior and exterior painting across San Diego County since 1999, operating from Foothills River Lane with a crew led on every jobsite by founder Justin Frankfather. The firm handles only full-interior or complete-exterior house painting and acoustic-ceiling removal—no patch jobs—a whole-house scope that follows the hang-tape-texture work performed by drywall contractors such as Hofstee Drywall Inc in Alpine. Exterior projects on two-story homes routinely reach 2,800 square feet of surface area and include pressure washing, caulking, priming, and two-coat application completed within a single day when conditions allow. Acoustic-ceiling (popcorn) removal involves wet-scraping the existing texture down to bare drywall, skim-coating the surface, and applying a smooth or knockdown finish—work that requires coordinated electrical fixture disconnect by trades at Arce Electric on Gardena Road before scraping begins. Highest-complexity engagements include full-envelope recoats on hillside homes along Lakeside's El Monte Road corridor using elastomeric coatings rated to bridge hairline stucco cracks up to 1/16 inch under California's UV-exposure conditions.
