Our Story
From a small crew with big dreams to Los Angeles' most trusted painting contractors—here's how we built our legacy one brushstroke at a time.
Born in Los Angeles, Built on Quality
Shoporte started in 2012 with just two painters and a truck. We weren't the biggest company, but we had something others didn't: an obsession with doing things right. No shortcuts, no cutting corners—just good old-fashioned craftsmanship.
Our founder, Marcus Thompson, learned the trade from his father who painted houses in the 1970s. That generational knowledge, combined with modern techniques and premium materials, quickly set us apart from the competition.
Word spread fast. Homeowners appreciated that we showed up on time, protected their furniture, and left the job site cleaner than we found it. Within five years, we went from a two-person crew to a team of fifteen professional painters.
