Experience Our Local Painter’s Craftsmanship

This full home painting project took place at a newly constructed home in Piedmont, CA, built by McCutcheon Construction. The work included both interior and exterior painting, along with detailed wood staining to match existing materials inside the home.

On the exterior, natural cedar siding and painted trim elements were finished to highlight the architecture while protecting the wood. Inside the home, stain work focused on matching new poplar wall paneling with existing poplar panels so the spaces felt consistent from room to room.

The house painting project lasted about four months and covered a large scope of surfaces throughout the property. From exterior cedar siding to interior wood paneling, every area required careful prep and attention to detail to bring the entire design together.

Background Story:

This home holds a unique place in Piedmont. It was the first LEED Platinum-certified home in the area, built with sustainability and craftsmanship in mind. Because of that, the finishes throughout the house had to match the level of quality expected in a custom home like this.

Arana Craftsman Painters worked as a subcontractor alongside McCutcheon Construction to handle the painting and staining portions of the project. Coordination between trades played a big role since construction was still underway during parts of the painting process.

The homeowner was also a returning client who had completed several projects on the property over the years. That long-standing relationship added another layer of trust to the work, especially since the interior stain matching required careful blending between older poplar panels and newly installed ones.

Years later, photos of the home still show how well the finishes have held up. The cedar siding continues to age naturally, and the interior paneling maintains the consistent stain tone that was achieved during the original painting process.

Scope of Services:

• Exterior Cedar Siding Staining: Natural cedar siding across the exterior of the home was stained to protect the wood while allowing the grain and character of the cedar to remain visible.
• Exterior Trim Painting: Trim elements around windows, doors, and architectural details were painted to complement the natural cedar siding and add contrast to the exterior design.
• Interior Stain Matching for Poplar Wall Paneling: New poplar wall panels were carefully stained to match existing paneling already installed in the home. This helped create a consistent appearance across older and newly built areas.
• Interior Wood Finishing: Interior wood surfaces throughout the home were prepared and finished to support the overall design chosen for the project.

Paint Products Used:

This full home painting project used high-quality products selected for both durability and appearance across interior and exterior surfaces.

Products included:

• Benjamin Moore Regal
• Old Masters interior wood stain
• Messmers UV Plus for natural cedar siding

Project Cost: The total cost for this full home painting project was approximately $150,000.

Results:

The completed full home painting helped highlight the craftsmanship of the newly constructed property while supporting the natural materials used throughout the design.

The cedar siding finish protects the exterior while still allowing the wood to age naturally. Inside the home, the stain-matching work helped the new poplar paneling blend smoothly with existing surfaces, creating a clean and unified look.

Even years after the original work was completed, the finishes continue to hold up well. The project stands as a great example of how careful painting and staining can support the design and longevity of a custom-built home.
