We started looking for painters for the exterior of our 2400 ft.² home in March, 2022. We are extremely thorough when hiring a contractor. We have lived in our home for over 20 years and we did the painting ourselves here and there for maintenance, so our home really needed a professional job! With that said, I met with nine painters and general contractors, all referred to me by various sources. LS Custom Painting, owned by Sang was one of them that came highly recommended through the neighborhood app for Lake Forest, California and other sources. All of the bids came in between $6700-$12,000. Sang met with me in person. We were very impressed with how detailed he was and how he really wanted to understand what we desired. He educated us on quite a few things that we did not know as well. It is because of that, plus what all the other referrals said about the incredible work he does that we hired LS Custom Painting. Sang also made some wonderful suggestions because of his decades of experience such as painting certain areas a certain color to make it look richer and such. His price was right in the middle of all the bids, not the cheapest but not the most expensive. We have absolutely no regrets! Right from the get-go Sang was extremely communicative. His crew arrived every day on time. Their process is extremely detail oriented from power washing, scraping and filling all of the cracks, fixing the cracked stucco (even repaired a poor previous stucco area), digging up the dirt and rocks on the bottom of the foundation so that could be painted as well, taping every single window and door, removing exterior lamps, etc.... They were reliable, neat, and did not leave any garbage on my property. Alberto, one of the lead painters was superb in everything he worked on. He really knows his stuff and he's been with Sang for 20 years plus. He was very communicative during the project if he needed some clarity for what we wanted done. The project took one week from start to finish and on a scale of 1 to 10 we give the completed work an 11++++! We have already had ALL our neighbors come by with their mouths hanging open saying the house looks like it's brand new (and it's over 40 years old!) and it looks like it was transported here from someplace else!! We have included pictures here for your review; the before is the salmon color the after is the gray and white and we did a pop of color with the blue door. TRUST US-- If you choose LS Custom Painting you will not be sorry!! read more

The purpose of this review is to highly recommend Sang Hong owner of LS Custom Painting Company. Sang and his painting crew painted our kitchen and complete exterior of our home. They were very organized, neat and detailed minded. They demonstrated a sense of responsibility and take pride in a job well done. We are very pleased with their work and commitment to complete the job on time. If you need to paint...call Sang , he's the BEST!! read more

Sang and his crew are the pinnacle of professionalism. When it comes to painting, it's all about the prep work, and they did not mess around, spending two full days to sand down, fill in and repair the wood. Plastic was applied everywhere to avoid paint on the windows, floors, etc. Just like the initial bid, very fair pricing on the extra carpentry work that was absolutely needed, including a total repair of the entry gate and surrounding structure (see photo), which other contractors said would need a complete replacement at many times the cost we ultimately paid for the repair, which ended up looking amazing. As far as the actual painting, done with great attention to detail, no drips or sloppy sections, clean and precise. Could not be happier with the finished product, and given the prep work, it will last years longer than your typical paint job. Lastly, and this is very important, the work was done quickly, with a full crew each day. If you want your house prepped and painted right, for a price that's right, look no further! read more

Once they got started on our job they found a bunch of water damage that turned into a HUGE project and they took are of everything. Truly above and beyond!! The guys even took out all our garbage cans to the street on garbage day which was so nice of them! Sang is extremely responsive by phone and text.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience painting the exterior of our house. Sang and the crew went above and beyond every chance they got. Not only did they do an exceptional job on the paint, but even the little extra things they did, like putting our trash cans out for trash day, showed how much they take pride in their work.

Sang and crew are the very best!! Our building / homes needed lots of help, and it took the guys one week just to prep for the painting.

They are phenomenal!! When you are looking for quality - LS Custom is your company. I've used painters in the past who just wanted to get on to their next job. Sang treated the job as if he were painting a masterpiece. You knew from his work that he took pride in the end result (so much so that he even came back to do touch-up when movers scuffed the inside). Sang helped us pick colors and had a great eye for design. I am so very happy he was referred to us. I could not recommend him more! read more

My house looks like a model home now! 2) The crew shows up on time, is repectful of your home and are a pleasure to have around. They clean up the work space every day. 3) Sang's price is fair and he has never pulled any fast ones like other contractors I have used. (No hidden charges or asking for money upfront.) 4. Sang wants you to be happy and has no problem fixing those little touch-ups that may show up. I do a lot of work on my home. A contractor who does exceptional work at a reasonable price and is a pleasure to work with...well, that is very rare! You will be recommending Sang and LS Custom Painting to all your friends. read more

Amazing! Very professional. COVID safe. Exceptional quality. Very competitive pricing. Sang was referred to me by a neighbor who had used Sang and his crew to have their house painted. The neighbor's house is beautiful! I had no idea that Sang had painted their house 12 years ago!!! The paint job literally looks like new. I am floored by the exceptional quality of work that Sang and his crew provide. I had my house (interior and exterior) painted 3 times before Sang but it never lasted long and never looked like new. Now my house looks brand new inside and out. He is truly a gem and will definitely use him again. Highly highly recommend read more

Sang and his team just did the interior painting on our home and did an amazing job.

I highly recommend Sang and his crew. read more

We used Sang to paint the interior of our 3000 sq. ft. two-story home. Sang and his crew took time and was diligent to do a good quality job, as well as being professional and courteous. Sang and his crew were responsive to our requests, paid attention to details, and protected our furniture. Sang was on premises on a regular basis, always available for communication during the project, and kept his promises. Sang did a high quality job at a reasonable price. We will plan to use Sang again. read more

I don't like reading or writing these reviews as I think a majority of them are fake. Well, this one isnt - trust me. I am pretty critical when it comes to contractors. Always seem to have issues one way or another. With Sang (owner of LS Custom Painting) I didn't have any issues when they painted my house. His crew was professional, clean and thorough. They did a lot of prep work prior to painting, they replaced wood that was badly in need of repair, they sanded, they cut back bushes prior to painting. My house looks great. His prices are very reasonable considering the amount of prep work they do. Highly Highly Highly recommend them. My name is Allison and if you want a reference ask Sang for my number. i would give 10 stars if i could! read more

Our company had a special request from a client we were serving to paint their casket. We had a very short turn around. I contacted LS Custom painting on a Monday morning and needed the casket painted and ready for Tuesday afternoon. Sam said he would see what he could do. I called 10 other companies who simply could not paint in that short space of time and this item had to be perfect. Sam called me back by 11:00am on Monday and said he would have his painter out to us on Tuesday morning at 8:00am. LS Custom Painting had excellent reviews and understand that we were moving forward on faith. The painter was here before 8:00am. He created a painting 'boot' to protect items in the company garage. He expertly masked and prepared the surfaces and had to first coat on by 10:00am. The color was not right and needed to be darker. I contacted Sam and within less than an hour the next coat of paint was on, drying and it was the perfect color. This very sacred object needed to be perfect for our family. It was perfect! We are fortunate to have found LS Custom Painting and will be looking to engage them in painting our building inside and out because of the care, professionalism and responsiveness to a grieving family's request and also because of the five star quality of the work. read more

Sang, was awesome! He came as soon as we called. He didn't have to come over to the do a bid. He knew we needed someone to come and paint our home as soon as possible so that we could move into our home. He was very kind, respectful and thorough. I would highly recommend him to anyone read more

What a very pleasant surprise to have a painter come in and do exactly what they were asked to do. Not only did they use high-end paint, they also used the best materials possible for the baseboards and the door jams. I would highly recommend them for anybody who is either doing some quick touchups or getting the whole house painted. You can definitely see the pride in their faces of their work. read more

Sang and his team are AMAZING! My husband and I cannot even put in to words how great our experience was working with LS Custom Painting. Sang and his team painted my in laws house a few years back, so we saw first hand the impeccable work that they do and we knew that we had to hire him for our job. These guys pay SUCH CLOSE attention to detail and are SO GOOD at restoring things that seemed hopeless - making everything look brand new. Sang's quick communication is so refreshing...he answers the phone on the first ring and never once made us feel stupid or naive with the questions we asked. He was also so courteous to make sure that he covered every detail of the project with us before completing the job. He asked our opinions and offered his when we asked for it. All workers (especially Jose!!) were extremely respectful and friendly and they left our house looking cleaner than when they arrived. My husband and I (and his parents) would recommend LS Custom Painting to anyone who is looking for a painter. Thank you so much Sang and team! It is so nice to know that we will never have to search again for a painter. read more

So we have been struggling for a while when working with contractors for our home renovations. Either they over promise and undeliver, the quality of the work is sub par, or the price is unreasonable. I have to admit that I was hesitant at first to trust that Sang's crew could deliver on the amount of work involved with our house. It was a 2 week effort (including Saturdays) and the amount of work involved drywall repair, trim work, kitchen cabinet painting, ceilings, walls, baseboards, vaulted ceilings, the works. I'm happy to say that not only did sang and his crew deliver on his promises, he went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the results. He would stop by every day (sometimes multiple times), always put our concerns at ease, and he really put our wishes first. His crew did an amazing job on every piece of work and we couldn't be happier with the results. We definitely recommend sang if you are on the fence about contractors or have had bad experiences in the past. read more

We recently finished a major remodel in our home. Our plan was to totally repaint the interior of our reasonably large, tri-level home, since it hadn't been painted in way too long. With our previous great experience with Sang Hong and LS Custom painting, we hired them to do the work for us. We worked with Sang on the colors, and he developed a custom color for most of our house, and matched an accent color for some of our walls. Once again they spent a lot of time on prep, including patching drywall in a number of areas that were bad. They completed the work last Saturday, and we are once again delighted with the results. We would not hesitate to recommend Sang and his great team, who are a pleasure with whom to work. read more

We recently had L S Custom Painting paint the exterior of our home in Mission Viejo. We have a large, two story home, which was way past due for painting, and hadn't been painted since we bought the home in 1991. They were highly recommended, and Sang Hong, the owner, is the one who came out and gave us the estimate for the paint job, and made some welcome suggestions about colors, textures, etc. We hired them to do the job, and couldn't be happier. They did an incredible amount of prep work, including patching stucco on the house and exterior garden walls, sanding wood surfaces, calking cracks where needed, masking for painting, and even covered all the walk surfaces where the painting might get onto the patios, sidewalks, etc. They primed and sealed all surfaces before beginning the actual painting, and even removed items we had left on the walls that were to be painted, such as porch light, flag, etc. They replaced them all after the painting was completed. During the whole process, which took almost 3 weeks to complete, they had 2 workers here every day, and part of the time 4 or 5 workers, depending on the work being done at the time. They worked long, hard hours, and were pleasant and cheerful. Alex, who was the "lead" on the project, is a delight and works very hard. We've received lots of compliments from our friends and neighbors, and had several comment about the very comprehensive prep work that was done before the actual paining even began. We believe we received great value for the cost of the painting, and are confident we won't have to paint again for a number of years. We are doing some interior remodeling, and once completed will again have L S Custom Painting do the interior painting for us. I highly recommend this company for your painting requirements! read more

Best in details and great customer service! I have been using him for last 20yrs and he is impeccable at his job!

Sang and his crew are our first choice for small and large painting projects. They have not only painted our homes with expert care, they have also provided excellent service to several of our friends. Sang provides reliable advice and we know we can trust his work. Thank you Sang! read more

Sang and his crew are the only painters we use for our own home and our rentals. We have used him for years on whole house repaints and smaller jobs. Paints great inside and out and overall a great person and company to work with! read more

LS Custom has painted the exterior of my home twice and the interior once over the past 15 years. Of all the contractors I have ever worked with, Sang is the most professional, courteous, and dedicated. His company can be counted on to do an outstanding job and Sang does everything in his power to go the extra mile to please the customer. My home looks absolutely beautiful and I have Sang and LS custom to thank! I enthusiastically and most highly recommend Sang and his company. read more

We hit the jackpot when we asked Sang Hong of LS Custom Painting to give us an estimate to paint our house! He and his hard-working crew did everything right. They spent four days doing prep work which included power washing, sanding, caulking, stucco patching generally preparing all surfaces for painting. They were meticulous. We've had our house painted twice before and no one did anything close to the job they did! They even uncovered termite damage our recent professional termite inspector missed! They covered everything in plastic so our plants, patio, windows, furniture, etc. were protected. Then the painting started...with primer and two coats of paint on all wood surfaces. He does NOT water down the paint like many do these days! The crew cleaned up everything each night and at the end of the job. Sang is honest, honest, honest and stands by his word and his work. I give him and his crew the highest possible rating and we will never use anyone else for painting in the future. You totally get what you pay for with LS Custom Painting! read more

Three years ago we hired Sang's company to paint the exterior of our home and were so pleased with the job his team did we had Sang give us a bid to paint the entire interior of our home. Keith and Daniel did a majority of the job which included drywall repairs and replacing drywall where we had old speakers and vents. They also installed new door trim. Every bit of my interior has been painted....walls, ceiling and all of the wood trim. We have a large built in that was a natural honey oak that we had painted out white, it looks like a brand new piece. We could not be happier with the work that we had done, the attention to detail was incredible!! I would once again highly recommend Sang and his guys for any painting job you may have!!! read more

We have used LS Custom 5 or 6 times over the past 15 years, inside and out, they have painted the entire house. Their work cannot be beat as far as quality and neatness. Sang stands behind his work and will not be satisfied unless you are. I highly recommend. read more

Originally, we had planned to paint exterior trim of our house only. However, after talking with Sang, we decided to paint the entire exterior and we are so glad we did! He made recommendations on colors which made it much easier for us. Jose and Martin, the painters, were very professional, respectful and meticulous in their work and always cleaned up at the end of the day. Sang answered our questions and addressed any concerns in a timely manner. We now have a brand new exterior and couldn't be happier. We would highly recommend them. read more

Great work! Attention to detail, excellent prep work and finishing a timely manner! Very professional! Plus great price

Sang and his crew did a fantastic job on painting our stair railings. He was very professional in his handling of the job - from the 1st estimate to the final touch ups. Sang's prices are reasonable and his workmanship is superb. He was very flexible with his dates and meet the deadline of 5 days of work. The crew took great care in covering every individual piece of furniture, ensuring no paint got on anything. The area was well prepared but still usable by us. He even filled in the gaps around the balisters under the railing, as it was very noticable with the white color. His expectations for payment was't until we were completely satisfied, including a couple of trips back to touch up some minor issues. I would highly recommend Sang for any painting job. read more

Earlier this year we saw that our neighbor was getting his house painted. Each day we noticed how thorough and meticulous the painters were, so we asked for their information and they gave us their card: LS Custom Painting. When we met with Sang, the owner, he walked us through every detail and step of the process. I had a long list of questions and concerns and he took his time answering all of them specifically. When the painters came, they were friendly, hard-working, and incredibly thorough, from power washing to taping off areas to repairing termite damage to scraping old paint. They took time and care to do the best job possible, and Sang kept checking in during the process to make sure everything was going well, and now our home looks great! We have already recommended them to friends, and will continue to do so. Thank you to Sang and the house painters for doing such a wonderful job! read more

Sang is the BEST painter around. He painted the exterior of my home. His crew did a superb job of prepping - and we have a lot of wood so it was a big job. He delivered on all he promised - sand existing paint off all wood, seal all cracks, plaster areas that were damaged by water, smoke, etc. The crew was very careful in covering my pool, yard, Windows, etc and nothing was damaged. The crew maintains a very neat and clean worksite through entire job. They are friendly, polite and eager to please the customer. The finished paint job looks amazing - and it has been over a year ago since the job was completed. If you want it done right - to last years and a very polite and pleasant crew, hire Sang and LS Custom painting. You definitely get what you pay for!! Sang and his crew just finished painting my kitchen cabinets this May and it looks AMAZING! He promised a factory finish and he delivered. His crew (same as a year ago) is still neat, clean, polite, eager to please the customer. I am so happy with the result and quality. I was nervous about painting wood cabinets but now I would encourage anyone to go for it - with Sang as the painter so you know it will be done right. On a customer service note, Sang went above and beyond when another tradesman threw away the door hinges on a couple of the cabinet doors. The hinges were older and only available at specialty store. I had another built in that I wanted to change hardware on but couldn't find right fit. Sang went out of his way to hunt down replacement hinges for the kitchen AND for the built in. He truly wants his customers to be happy with everything involved in the job. 5 stars again for Sang and LS Custom Painting. read more
