Homeowners and property managers across Orange County face the same challenge when searching for a painting contractor. Finding a crew that combines hands-on ownership, fair pricing, and follow-through on every promise is rare. Gamino Painting Company, led by owner Jaime Gamino from their Aliso Viejo headquarters, has built a track record solving that problem for residential, commercial, and industrial clients since 2021.
The company holds California CSLB License and carries Berkshire Hathaway general liability plus workers compensation coverage through State Compensation Insurance Fund. Jaime and his in-house crew handle interior and exterior house painting, full commercial repaints for office parks and retail spaces, cabinetry coatings from pre-catalyzed lacquer to urethane enamel, deck and fence staining, door refinishing, pressure washing, and drywall repair. Documented projects range from a 45,000-square-foot Tesla Service Center in Aliso Viejo to single-room condo refreshes in Newport Beach.
Growing up restoring cars and motorcycles alongside a family of civil engineers and tradesmen, Jaime channeled that precision into construction and eventually into a painting operation that now services communities from Dana Point to Huntington Beach and into San Diego County.
