the story
Who we are...
Sombrio Painting Co. was started in the summer of 2015 in Victoria BC. It is a family owned business, operated by Simon Kuhl. I'm a second generation painter with 13 years professional painting and contracting experience. Prior to moving to Vancouver Island, I owned Mountain City Painting in Penticton, BC.
The Sombrio Painting Co. story was featured on Chris Guillebeau's Side Hustle School Podcast - episode 173.
It was also featured in Canada's ProPainter magazine in 2017.
Beyond painting, I'm a husband, father, writer and photographer. I have a passion for learning, exploring and connecting with people.
