ECHO Painting Inc. History

"Generations of Quality"

1st Generations
In the early years of the last millennium a hard working man named Thomas Zepeda had a small yet talented crew working for his painting business in central Texas. While raising his family, Thomas' business thrived in the surrounding area providing his servies to many communities nearby.

2nd Generations
In the late 1940's Thomas son Ecolastico Zapeda began to help run the business after he had experienced some years working with his father. In 1952 Ecolastico moved the small business and his young family to Southern California to start a new life. The painting business was now renamed "Echo Painting". As time went on Echo Painting grew quite rapidly in Los Angeles are. Ecolastico and his crew thrived, providing quality custom finishes in residential areas including Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Malibu, and the surrounding areas for many years.

3rd Generations
In the late 1970's Andrew Zapeda (one of the Ecolasticos sons) began to continue the family tradition of providing quality custom finishes to communities in Southern California. Andrew along with his brothers William and Robert, and a family friend Jesse Verdugo, started to expand their clientele to people desiring more detailed custom looks, including murals and faux finishes. These specialized painting techniques opened door to new opportunities for Andrew and the rest of the Echo Painting crew. They were invited into stars' homes to paint murals on children's walls, create scenic views in bathrooms and finish entryways to look like marble. Andrew and his crew continued to provide these artistic appearances as well as customized interior and exterior residential painting throughout the 1970's, 80's and early 90's.

4th Generation
keeping with the family tradition Andrew's son Andre pursued his painting and decorating contractor's license in the early 1990's. After watching and working with his father and uncles, Andre accomplished learning many of the key traits to a quality professional painter. Currently, Andre and Andrew run a crew of painters in the South Bay area of Southern California. Andre's focus for expanding business is similar to those of the past generations. He desires to exceed customer's expectations by providing the highest quality of work while maintaining a clean professional environment. Andre continues to strive for excellence in the area of custom painting, keeping available specialized finishes and custom murals.
