We’ve earned Nextdoor’s Neighborhood Favorite award four years running, many five-star Google reviews, and Best of Oakland recognition by doing one thing consistently: showing up, following through, and standing behind our work.

Exterior Residential Painting

Premier Residential Painting Company

Exterior House Painters of Oakland

Oakland’s architecture is iconic. Victorian gingerbread trim, Craftsman details, mid-century clean lines, and Mediterranean stucco all require specialized knowledge and proper technique. Our exterior painting process protects Oakland homes from fog, wind, sun, and rain while honoring their architectural character.

We start with thorough surface prep: pressure washing, scraping failing paint, repairing wood rot (common in Oakland’s older homes), and lead-safe practices required for pre-1978 construction. We use Benjamin Moore Regal and Sherwin-Williams Duration, premium coatings engineered for the Bay Area’s microclimates.

We back every Oakland exterior project with a 5-year warranty against peeling, bubbling, and cracking. From Temescal bungalows to Claremont mansions, we’ve painted it all.

Interior House Painters of Oakland

Oakland interiors are as diverse as the city itself. Whether you’re refreshing a loft in Jack London Square, updating a family home in Crocker Highlands, or transforming a fixer in Fruitvale, we bring precision and care to every project.

Our interior painting process includes complete furniture and floor protection, thorough patching and surface prep, premium low-VOC paints for healthier indoor air, complimentary color consultations, and daily cleanup.

We understand Oakland homes. We know how to work around your schedule, respect your space, and deliver finishes that look flawless from every angle. Most Oakland interior projects take 3 to 7 days, and we communicate daily so you’re never left guessing about progress.

Exterior Commercial Painters

Commercial Painters in Oakland

Oakland’s commercial corridors are thriving. From Temescal’s boutiques to downtown offices, Rockridge retail to Grand Avenue restaurants, your business deserves painting contractors who understand deadlines, minimize disruption, and deliver professional results.

We’ve served Oakland businesses since 2004 with the same reliability we bring to residential projects.
We work around your hours (evenings, weekends, phased schedules), use commercial-grade coatings designed for high-traffic applications, maintain clean job sites, and communicate proactively.

Whether you need a storefront refreshed, an office repainted, or a multi-unit building updated, we have the capacity and expertise to deliver on time and on budget.

Cabinet Painters in Oakland

Oakland kitchens are the heart of the home. But replacing cabinets can cost $20,000 to $50,000 or more. Professional cabinet painting delivers stunning transformations for a fraction of that investment. We specialize in cabinet refinishing using Renner and Cabinet Coat, two of the most durable coatings available.

Our process includes complete disassembly and labeling, professional degreasing and sanding, precision priming, and flawless finish coats applied in a controlled environment (not sprayed in place).

We’ve transformed kitchens across Oakland, from bungalows in Laurel to estates in Montclair. And we set honest expectations upfront because transparency matters more than a quick sale. Most Oakland cabinet projects take 5 to 10 days and are backed by our 5-year warranty.

These Are Some Of The Questions Your Oakland Neighbors Have Asked…

The best Oakland painters have proven local experience, proper licensing (CA Contractor #1085077), lead-safe certification for pre-1978 homes, and comprehensive warranties. At Arana Craftsman Painters, we’ve completed over 4,000 projects across Oakland since 2004, earned Nextdoor’s Neighborhood Favorite award four years running, and back every job with a 5-year warranty and yearly check-ins.

Interior painting in Oakland typically ranges from $4,000 to $15,000+ depending on size and condition. Exterior painting runs $8,000 to $30,000+ based on home size, architectural complexity, and necessary repairs (wood rot, lead abatement common in Oakland’s older homes). Cabinet painting averages $5,000 to $12,000. We provide free, itemized consults with transparent pricing.

Absolutely. In Oakland’s competitive real estate market, quality painting protects your investment and can return up to 107% ROI on interior work. Exterior painting prevents costly wood rot and moisture damage common in Bay Area homes. And with home values in Oakland ranging from $800,000 to $2M+, protecting your asset with professional painting is one of the smartest investments you can make.

For exteriors, late spring through early fall (April to October) offers the most consistent weather. Oakland’s microclimates vary, so we assess your specific location. Interior painting works year-round. Book 4 to 6 weeks in advance during our busy summer season to secure your preferred start date.

Yes, if your Oakland home was built before 1978 (most were). California requires lead-safe practices when disturbing painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes. At Arana Craftsman Painters, we’re fully lead-safe certified and follow all required protocols to protect your family and our crews during exterior and interior painting projects.

Remove small items, wall decorations, and breakables from rooms being painted. We handle the rest: covering floors and furniture, removing hardware, patching holes, and prepping surfaces. We clean up daily and perform a final walk-through before collecting payment, so you can inspect every detail.

Yes. We specialize in cabinet painting using Renner and Cabinet Coat, premium coatings that deliver factory-quality results at a fraction of replacement cost. We’ve transformed kitchens across Oakland’s diverse neighborhoods, from vintage bungalows to modern renovations. We completely disassemble, prep, and finish properly for lasting results.
