Serving Isla Vista property managers and homeowners for 30+ years: Del Playa, Pardall Road, Embarcadero del Mar. Rapid-turnaround apartment painting specialists.
Isla Vista's premier multi-unit and residential painting contractor serving the UCSB-adjacent community's apartment complexes, student housing, duplexes, and commercial properties along Pardall Road and Embarcadero del Mar. Danis Painting Co. has over 30 years of experience painting Isla Vista's high-turnover rental properties, working with major property management companies including Dean Brunner Rentals, St. George & Associates, Wolfe & Associates, and UCSB's own campus housing facilities. We specialize in rapid-turnaround apartment painting between lease cycles—our crews can repaint a standard 2-bedroom unit in a single day, allowing property managers to minimize vacancy time during the critical September move-in season. We also serve Isla Vista's commercial properties along Pardall Road and Embarcadero del Mar, including restaurants, shops, and the IV Food Co-op. Our team understands the unique challenges of coastal Isla Vista: salt air corrosion on oceanfront Del Playa Drive properties, high-traffic wear in student housing common areas, and the need for durable, washable paints that withstand the demands of rental properties. We offer volume pricing for property managers with multiple units and coordinate multi-building projects efficiently.

Isla Vista is the vibrant coastal community adjacent to UC Santa Barbara, home to approximately 23,000 residents in one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in California. The community's unique mix of student housing, rental apartments, oceanfront properties along Del Playa Drive, and commercial businesses on Pardall Road and Embarcadero del Mar creates specialized painting demands that Danis Painting Co. has served for over 30 years. Our commercial painting services in Isla Vista include the Pardall Road and Embarcadero del Mar business districts—restaurants, shops, the IV Food Co-op, and the service businesses that support the UCSB community. We also paint for UCSB-affiliated properties and the growing number of professionally managed apartment complexes that have replaced older student housing. Our commercial crews understand the rhythm of Isla Vista's academic calendar, scheduling major projects during summer break and winter intersession when foot traffic is lowest. For residential and rental properties, we are the preferred painting contractor for several of Isla Vista's largest property management companies, handling annual turnover painting for hundreds of units each September. Our rapid-turnaround system allows us to repaint a standard 2-bedroom apartment in a single day—including patching, priming, and two finish coats—so property managers never miss a move-in date. We use durable, washable paints specifically selected for high-traffic rental environments: scuff-resistant finishes in common areas, moisture-resistant formulas in bathrooms and kitchens, and stain-blocking primers that cover the inevitable marks of student living. Isla Vista's oceanfront location along Del Playa Drive presents additional challenges: salt air corrosion, wind-driven moisture, and intense UV exposure that can degrade paint finishes rapidly. We use marine-grade exterior coatings on oceanfront properties, providing the same level of protection we apply to Santa Barbara's most valuable coastal homes. Our volume pricing for property managers with multiple units makes professional painting affordable even for budget-conscious rental operations.

"Danis Painting handles all 47 of our Isla Vista units every September. They coordinate the entire turnover painting schedule, completing each unit in a single day so we never miss a move-in date. Incredibly efficient and reliable year after year."
"Our Del Playa duplex needed salt-resistant exterior paint and a complete interior refresh. Danis Painting used marine-grade coatings on the exterior and durable washable paint inside. Two years of student tenants later, it still looks great."
