History
D. Zelinsky & Sons was founded by immigrant David Zelinsky in 1884, beginning in a small store-front on Hayes Street in San Francisco. Today, the firm has grown into a multi-million dollar company with major commercial contracts in painting and is Northern California’s exclusive distributor/dealer of SoftWalls™ Upholstered Wall and Ceiling System.
The long history of fine quality and versatility of the firm’s architectural finishes has enabled us to excel within the industry with a portfolio of diverse projects such as hotels, office towers, high-rises, condominiums, medical facilities, industrial complexes and government and educational buildings.
