Premier Residential Painting Company
Interior House Painters
Your home’s interior tells a story. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or repainting your entire Oakland Craftsman, we treat every surface like it’s our own. Our 10 full-time crews have applied over 60,000 gallons of paint across the San Francisco Bay, and we’ve learned that preparation matters more than the paint itself.
We sand, patch, prime, and protect your floors and furniture before a single brush touches the wall. The result? A finish that doesn’t just look flawless on day one. It stays flawless for years.
Premier Residential Painting Company
Exterior House Painters
Oakland’s weather is unpredictable. Fog, sun, wind, and rain all take their toll on your home’s exterior. That’s why we don’t just slap on a coat of paint and call it done. Our exterior process includes thorough surface prep, lead-safe practices (required in many Oakland neighborhoods), proper priming, and high-quality paints engineered for the San Francisco Bay‘s microclimates.
We’ve painted everything from Victorian mansions in Berkeley to mid-century moderns in Lafayette, and every project gets the same level of care.
Empowering Interior Design
Painting for the Greater
San Francisco Bay Region
Great painting isn’t just about color, it’s about enhancing the architecture and design you’ve already invested in. Whether you’re working with an interior designer or trusting your own vision, we bring technical precision to creative choices. From custom stain matching on historic woodwork to flawless cabinet finishes in modern kitchens, we’ve spent 21 years mastering the details that most painters overlook.
Our crews understand the difference between “close enough” and “exactly right.” And because we’re a locally owned, family-operated business, your satisfaction isn’t just good for business; it’s personal.
Locally Owned & Operated
Since 2004, Arana Craftsman Painters has been rooted in Oakland, serving the same neighborhoods where we live and work. We’re not a franchise. We’re not a national chain. We’re your neighbors, and we’re here for the long haul.
Financing Options Available
Quality painting is an investment. We accept cash, check, credit, debit—and we offer financing options to make it easier to protect your home without breaking your budget.
You’ve heard the horror stories. Painters who ghost you mid-project. Crews who show up late (or not at all). Bids that balloon once the work starts. After 4,000 completed projects across the San Francisco Bay, we’ve learned that trust isn’t built with marketing; it’s built with consistency.
That’s why we’ve been named Nextdoor’s Neighborhood Favorite for four years running, earned many five-star Google reviews, and received Best of Oakland and Houzz awards. Our clients don’t just hire us once, they call us back for every project, and refer us to their friends, because they know we’ll do exactly what we promise.
Interior Commercial Painters
Your business deserves the same level of professionalism you expect from every vendor. Whether you’re refreshing an office in downtown Oakland or repainting a retail space in Berkeley, Arana Craftsman Painters brings the same meticulous process we use for high-end residential projects.
We work around your schedule, minimize disruption, and deliver a finish that reflects the quality of your brand. With 10 full-time crews and 100 years of combined team experience, we have the capacity and expertise to handle commercial projects of any size—on time and on budget.
Exterior Commercial Painters
First impressions matter. A faded, peeling exterior sends the wrong message to your customers and clients. We specialize in transforming commercial properties, from storefronts to multi-unit buildings, with durable, weather-resistant coatings designed for the San Francisco Bay‘s unique climate.
Our commercial exterior process includes surface preparation, lead-safe practices, and coatings engineered for high-traffic, high-visibility applications. And because we’re fully licensed and insured, you can trust that your property is protected every step of the way.
Premium Cabinet Painters
Replacing kitchen cabinets can cost $20,000 to $50,000. Professional cabinet painting costs a fraction of that and delivers a stunning transformation that can last for years. We use Renner and Cabinet Coat, two of the most durable cabinet coatings available, and follow a meticulous process: complete disassembly, thorough degreasing and sanding, precision priming, and flawless finish coats.
We don’t spray your cabinets in place and call it done. We remove doors and drawers, label every piece, and finish them properly, so you get a factory-quality result without the factory price.
