Painters in Pasadena
Historic homes, mature streets, and a long-standing client pocket east of the central service area. The architecture rewards a painter who slows down on the details.
Homes here
Craftsman bungalows — including Greene & Greene and their contemporaries — Mediterranean revival, Spanish Colonial, and Tudor. HPOZ districts overlay several neighborhoods with preservation rules.
Local exposure
Pasadena runs hotter than the Westside and cooler than the deep Valley. Sustained summer sun is the main exterior consideration; mature trees shade many properties.
What we paint in Pasadena
Careful interior repaints in older homes, exterior wood-siding and trim work that older architecture demands, and cabinetry that is often original and worth refinishing rather than replacing.

A note from Paul
Pasadena's older homes are some of the most rewarding work in the business. Greene & Greene contemporaries, Spanish revival, Craftsman — they reward a painter who slows down. I do. — Paul
Questions
- Can you work on a historic Craftsman home?
- Yes. Older interiors and exteriors often need patient prep on original wood — patch, sand, prime, recoat — the kind of work older architecture deserves. We're comfortable inside HPOZ submissions too.
- Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
- Yes to all three — California State License Board, classification C-33, license number 713477, carried with bonding and liability insurance. Twenty-five years on file.
- What do you paint?
- Residential interiors and exteriors, commercial work, small-to-mid apartment buildings, and specialty coatings — lacquer, oil-based systems, and lead-paint remediation.
- How do estimates work?
- Written estimates after walking the property. We quote scope, not just square footage — so comparing it to another painter's bid actually makes sense.
- How much does a typical project cost?
- Most projects we run fall between $5,000 and $25,000. Specialty coatings and large-format exterior work can scale higher. We quote from the property, not from a phone call.
