Local Business Spotlight: HiTech Painting in San Diego
San Diego business owner Mark Heuslein has been running the best painting company in the city: HiTech Painting, Inc. Here’s why.
HiTech Painting, Inc. is a San Diego-based painting company with an impressive list of clients, a wide range of different services, and decades of experience and expertise in providing top-quality painting for commercial, industrial, and residential projects.
Humble Beginnings
There are plenty of companies that can paint, but you’d be hard-pressed to find one in San Diego that does a job as holistic, thorough, and high-quality as HiTech Painting, Inc. That’s because founder Mark Heuslein has been in the painting industry for four decades, and running his own top-tier painting company for 25 years.
Heuslein got his foot in the door painting tract houses before moving onto commercial, industrial, and high-end residential work in La Jolla, Del Mar, and elsewhere in San Diego County. Eventually, he said he got bored with the mundanity of the work and began to teach himself the intricacies of paint longevity and coating durability down to the molecular level.
Eventually, Heuslein garnered so much knowledge about making paint and coatings last longer that he became the San Diego chairman of an organization that works on corrosion-resistance focused on the Department of Defense.
Even with all of that experience and influence, Heuslein said he still maintains both humility and a “workman’s mentality” about the painting industry in general.
“I didn’t go to business school,” he said, speaking about his experience. “I just got really good at painting.”
What Sets HiTech Painting, Inc. Apart
Heuslein’s own personal expertise is deeply embedded in HiTech Painting, Inc. He and his team bring the experience and knowledge from working on high-profile industrial paint jobs to every project that they take on.
The team doesn’t just paint a wall or exterior and move on. Instead, they diagnose potential issues that could affect the longevity of the paint, use advanced techniques meant to withstand the elements, and incorporate sustainability, safety, and human health into all of their projects.
For example, Heuslein said many painters fail to take into account how salt can affect the lifespan of a paint job or coating. In coastal San Diego County, that can be a problem for many residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
“Salt is in the air, especially in La Jolla. And it lands on the metal handrails, it lands on the gates, on the doors, on the hinges,” he said. “Then people will just go and sand it — which is just scratching the salt and putting it into the surface — and they’ll paint over it and then wonder why it fails in a little while.”
HiTech Painting, Inc. Clients
One of the best ways to get to know HiTech Painting, Inc. as a company is to get to know their extensive list of clients. From the U.S. government to popular theme park attractions, the company has provided top-tier painting services to basically everyone.
“We just got done doing a rappelling tower on Camp Pendleton a couple weeks ago,” Heuslein said. “We also did the new Navy SEAL training facility a couple of years ago — all brand new with the sniper classrooms and the fighting rooms. The SEALs even parachuted onto the job one day.”
Along with the military painting projects, HiTech Painting, Inc. has also done work for San Diego theme park SeaWorld. Heuslein’s company worked on Journey to Atlantis, and even provided waterproofing and commercially rated flooring services.
And while industrial and commercial work makes up a good portion of HiTech Painting’s client list, the company has also worked with a number of high-profile residential clients — from multimillion dollar homes in San Diego to a $250 million home in Bel Air.
