(145)

Fresh Coat Painters SD is the local San Diego brand name used in our directory for what is in public records the sole-proprietorship painting business doing business as "Fresh Coat Design" (LLC formation 9/8/2022) and "Fresh Coat Designs" (Facebook page handle /freshcoatfreddie/, 299 likes), owned and operated by Mr. Freddie Runneil Garrett II. The firm is NOT a franchise of the Cincinnati-based national brand Fresh Coat Painters® (freshcoatpainters.com) despite the naming overlap; no franchisor agreement, royalty arrangement, or use of the corporate mark was verifiable in this research pass. The local business holds an active California CSLB C-33 Painting and Decorating license (#1083129, sole ownership, issued 10/29/2021, expires 10/31/2027, no disciplinary actions, $25,000 surety bond via Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, workers' compensation exempt as a no-employee sole proprietorship), has an A+ BBB rating under the name "Fresh Coat Design" (file opened 4/21/2022; NOT BBB Accredited), a BuildZoom Score of 92 (top 32% of 336,931 California licensed contractors), a 0-review TrustedPros profile under "Fresh Coat of San Diego" (in business since 2005, member since 2010, with a self-description as "a fully insured San Diego area painting contractor" and a 3.2/5.0 TrustRank that is the local-area average), and a 25+ year team-experience claim on its Facebook page. Physical office is at 7535 Timberwood Pl, San Diego, CA 92139-1316 (Paradise Hills / Bay Terraces area, South Bay San Diego). The directory record lists this pro under ZIP 92104 (North Park) — North Park is inside the firm's service area but is NOT where the office sits; 92139 is the verified HQ. Services include interior and exterior residential and commercial painting, cabinet refinishing, color consultation, wallpaper removal, drywall repair and patching (the Facebook / FindGlocal posts regularly show drywall patches for fan and light-fixture installations, door-and-frame removal with re-texture, complete interior repaints, and cabinet refinishing with satin enamel), free estimates, and 'Putting Paint Where It Ain't' is the operator's tagline on the FindGlocal timeline.

Northkountyremodeling

★★★★⯨4.5Rated 4.5 out of 5

Northkcountyremodeling (stylized 'North Kounty Remodeling', hashtag #nkr) is an unlicensed, sole-proprietor handyman / residential remodeling service operated by Leon Lopez (real-name Facebook handle: facebook.com/leon.juarez.773; full name likely Leon Juarez Lopez per Mexican-Spanish paternal-surname convention), based on Reche Road in Fallbrook, CA 92028 (per MapQuest and Yahoo Local third-party listings — street-level only, no street number published) but advertising service across North County San Diego (Oceanside 92054–92058, Carlsbad 92008–92011, Vista 92081–92084, Encinitas 92024, Fallbrook 92028, Valley Center 92082, Bonsall 92003). The brand's primary visible presence is on Instagram (@northkountyremodeling, 397 followers, 1,579 following, 241 posts; bio: 'Always here help small or big jobs we are here take care of our community!!!') and Facebook (facebook.com/100094291291541, 42 likes, 'Construction Company'), plus a Linktree (linktr.ee/northkountyremodeling, joined September 2022) and a Milkshake mini-site (msha.ke/northkountyremodeling) that both redirect to Instagram. Yelp lists the business as 'North Kounty Remodeling' (yelp.com/biz/north-kounty-remodeling-fallbrook-3) with a 5.0★ rating across 5 reviews; Yahoo Local mirrors that listing at Fallbrook, CA 92028 with a bilingual tagline 'We are here to help. Aqui estamos!' and 7 AM–7 PM Mon–Sun hours. Self-described service scope spans window/door installation, flooring (LVP, tile), drywall, custom texturing, light plumbing/electrical fixture installs, siding, stucco patch repair, leak repair, painting (interior/exterior/laundry), welding (Dutch doors), barn/outbuilding work, insulation (rockwool), and 'one-stop-shop from concrete to roofs' project coordination per Instagram. Phone (760) 695-2138 matches Yelp/Yahoo/MapQuest/Facebook/Milkshake. Email is northkountyremodeling@gmail.com (brand-facing, published on Milkshake site); directory's juarezleon760@gmail.com is Leon's personal Gmail. No CSLB license discoverable; insurance unverified. Critical legal note: California Business & Professions Code §7159 requires a CSLB license for any home-improvement project whose combined labor-and-materials cost exceeds $500 — Leon's published Instagram scope (concrete-to-roof one-stop-shop, drywall leak repair, stucco patch, siding, insulation, roofing) materially exceeds that threshold, so the directory's 9-category list overstates his legal authority. ZIP mismatch: directory's zipcode='92056' (Oceanside) is the user's home ZIP; verified HQ is 92028 (Fallbrook, ~12 mi inland). 92056 IS within Leon's advertised service area (#oceanside hashtag, Yelp 'surrounding area' framing), but is not the HQ.
