A fresh wave of color is breathing new life into homes, storefronts, and community
spaces in the Yucaipa area. The artists behind this transformation are Kiko and Wilmary
Cisneros, the husband-and-wife team who founded Kiko Paints—a family-owned
painting company quietly making an impression across the Yucaipa area.
Every successful business has its origin story, and Kiko Paints is no exception. Kiko has
over 20 years of experience in residential and commercial painting working for other
companies. Kiko and Wilmary saw an opportunity in their Yucaipa—a city characterized
by its close knit neighborhoods, proud small business owners, and a growing demand
for quality craftsmanship. It was in this environment that they decided to take the leap
into small business ownership. “We wanted to create something of our own. I was tired
of working for others and wanted to follow my own work ethic and create a business that
would support my family,” says Wilmary, reflecting on the family’s entrepreneurial
journey.
Once their son A’amen was old enough he joined the business. He says, “My parents
offered me a choice to be a part of it. I saw my dad being able to provide for the family.
This will be my career, carrying on the family legacy.”
What sets Kiko Paints apart from other painting companies is their customer service.
Their services span both residential and commercial painting, tackling interiors and
exteriors with equal precision. Whether it’s transforming a kitchen with a contemporary
color palette, refreshing the façade of a local business, or reviving a faded fence in a
family backyard, Kiko Paints brings professionalism to every project. “We treat every
project like it is our own home,” Kiko explains, “We’ll paint anything but cars.”
“Our motto is You pick it and we’ll stick it, ” Wilmary notes with a grin. “We thrive on
helping and serving our neighborhood and nearby communities with respect and joy
and will continue to do so with pride.”
Their reputation has spread, not by flashy advertisements, but by word of mouth. Kiko
Paints has recently developed a website thekikopaints.com and established a social
media presence on Instagram and Facebook @Kikopaints. For a quote or to talk about
an upcoming project, contact Kiko or Wilmary through their website or call 909-220-
