Our Story: A Legacy of Painting Excellence
At Pinnacle Painters, painting is more than just a business — it’s a family legacy spanning three generations of craftsmanship and dedication to quality. Founded by Terry Strohauer, a trusted name in the California painting industry for over 40 years, and his daughter, we are proud to be a family-owned and women-led business serving San Diego County.
The story of Pinnacle Painters began with Terry’s father, who painted billboards in San Diego back in the 1960s. This passion for painting has been passed down through generations, evolving into a full-service painting company known for exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and unmatched customer care.
