San Francisco, 1912

Servino Giampolini founded the company on Dupont St. (later renamed 'Grant Avenue') to serve the thriving North Beach neighborhood. Originally operations included paint manufacturing, retail sales of paint and painting supplies, and painting contracting services. Our growth through the early part of the 20th century mirrored the City's, as residential construction flourished.
