Complimentary Consultation Store Rebranding Rebranding requires more than new signage. It requires interior finishes that reflect your updated identity. We help retailers and businesses execute rebrands with precision color matching, clean application, and fast turnaround to minimize downtime and get you back to business quickly. Doors Interior doors take constant contact and show wear quickly in commercial settings. We sand, prime, and apply durable coatings designed for high-touch surfaces, delivering smooth finishes that resist scuffs and maintain professional appearance under heavy use. Stairwells Stairwells are high-traffic areas that accumulate scuffs, marks, and wear. We use durable, washable paints designed for commercial applications, apply proper surface prep, and deliver clean finishes that hold up to constant foot traffic and maintain appearance between maintenance cycles. Walls Walls are the foundation of every interior space. We patch, sand, prime, and apply premium commercial-grade paints in your chosen colors and sheens, delivering smooth, uniform coverage that looks professionally finished and performs under commercial use. Wallpaper Removal Outdated wallpaper detracts from professional spaces. We carefully remove old wallpaper without damaging drywall, repair any surface issues, and prepare walls for painting or new wall coverings. Proper removal and prep ensure your new finish performs as intended. Commercial Wallpaper Installation Wallpaper adds texture, pattern, and visual interest that paint alone can’t achieve. We install commercial-grade wall coverings with precision pattern matching, invisible seams, and proper adhesion techniques, delivering flawless results in lobbies, offices, restaurants, and other high-visibility spaces. Ceilings Ceilings are often overlooked but critical to overall appearance. We use low-spatter techniques and premium ceiling paints to deliver even coverage without drips or roller marks, creating clean, professional finishes that complement your space. Trim Clean, crisp trim makes the difference between amateur and professional results. We sand, prime, and apply durable coatings with precision brushwork, delivering sharp lines and smooth finishes that highlight architectural details and enhance overall appearance. Popcorn Ceiling Removal Dated popcorn ceilings undermine modern interiors. We safely remove popcorn texture (testing for asbestos first), smooth or apply contemporary knockdown finishes, and prime and paint for clean, updated spaces that reflect current design standards. Cabinet Painting Commercial kitchens, break rooms, and office cabinets benefit from professional refinishing. We use durable coatings designed for commercial applications, follow meticulous prep and finishing processes, and deliver results that refresh spaces at a fraction of replacement cost. Sheetrock Repair, Sanding, etc. (Repair Jobs) Holes, cracks, dents, and damaged drywall must be properly repaired before painting. We patch, sand, and texture-match damaged surfaces so repairs blend seamlessly, delivering flawless substrates that accept paint beautifully and perform for years.

We call ourselves Craftsman Painters because we love to strip surfaces down to their essentials and make them beautiful again. Learn more about who we are and our commitment to the highest-quality, handcrafted work you’ll find in the Bay Area. Catherine Baldi Principal & Company Manager Every year, on our daughter’s birthday, however old she is, we are celebrating that many years in business. The day we came home from the hospital with our new baby, we had a brand-new contractor’s license waiting for us. I didn’t mean to become a contractor. My father and my uncles were and are, builders. I grew up around construction sites. Then college, then activist work in support of indigenous communities resisting industrial projects that impacted their ancestral lands. And then I went back to the land to apprentice in a small, local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Local, local, local. There is nothing more important than supporting local endeavors! It was during this time that Ernesto and I began our life together and started to make plans. With his lifelong skills in the trades, my business expertise, and our shared values, we knew that we could deliver a different experience for our clients. And so, I became a painting contractor. As our company and children grew, we also helped to found a co-operative, Spanish immersion preschool. I am an idealist. I believe that heart and intention come first. Our lives and business are intentionally centered around enhancing home, family, and community. Painting a home or a public building, especially doing so using sustainable materials and practices, is an act of preservation as well as beautification and self-care. It enhances people’s individual lives and our communities. Wherever I live and whatever I do, I want to make that place better. We do that in our Company with the way we go about our work and the way we run our business. Our staff is family within a family-owned company. We promote from within. Many of our painters are brothers and cousins and many have been with us since we started. And this year we have begun training the next generation, having sons work alongside their fathers, and having our daughter Sofia work in our office. Through Arana Craftsman Painters, Ernesto and I strive to strengthen the community around us, the Bay Area, where we live, play, and raise our children. Ernesto Perez Principal & Field Supervisor My Mother’s surname is Arana and I am Ernesto Perez Arana. I originally come from Guatemala, but I often say that I was born again in San Francisco, Dolores Park to be exact. In the 1980s I made the City my home and that there is where I took up the Craft, the trade of painting homes. I work with my hands and while I was in the City, it was me and all of those beautiful home canvases; as many as I could possibly paint. I wasn’t just good at it, I was great. I could manage all of the details, prepare any surface to accept paint and ultimately, I could wield a brush and hit a straight line like nobody’s business. I am old enough to not have used a sprayer in my work. I brushed and rolled everything while scaling 40-foot ladders, up and down the faces of Victorian beauties, Edwardian edifices, Tudor facades and of course the Sunset and Richmond district tract homes. I still cannot get enough of the multitude of Bay Area architectural styles. My company, Arana Craftsman Painters, has become my Swan Song. In the 1980s and 90s, I worked for several great companies like Armstrong, De Martini / Arnott, and Perfection Painting – which is exactly what we did – we worked to Perfection. Catherine and I gave birth to our first child in 2004 and decided to move to the East Bay. Once again, I was leaving a place I had woven myself, my love, and my memories into. I knew every inch of the city, but my kids needed a yard, we needed a parking space and I was ready to begin again. Here in the East Bay we got to paint a whole new set of architecture; Craftsman and California Bungalows, Mediterranean and Spanish style and of course the eclectic mix of the Oakland fire zone. And that is just the Exterior. Interior painting requires so much more care. I am obsessed with painting my clients’ homes, for beauty’s sake yes, but also for the long-term health of their families and neighborhoods. Painting is the most rewarding of the trades. We can transform while at the same time protect, maintain, and boost a home’s value. You might say we have magic paintbrushes! But, while we can’t always turn a frog into a Prince, we can change, preserve, and elongate the life of almost any surface. Thank you to all of you who trusted your home with us! Daniel Cornejo Estimator My brother was a painter with Arana and he introduced me to Catherine and Ernesto, and they started me off working in the warehouse. This was in 2009; I was 22 years old at the time. I was in charge of keeping the shop clean, keeping materials stocked, cleaning brushes, rollers and equipment, and doing entry-level paint tasks such as sanding and scraping the cabinet doors that get brought back to our location for refinishing. After proving myself in that position, I was offered an opportunity to work on a crew and fully learn the trade and the craft of painting. I was put on a two-person team with our current Production Manager, Juan Rivas and I gained valuable skills and insights from him – as well as other experienced Crew Leaders. After that, I was promoted to Crew Leader myself and then in January 2023, I was offered the opportunity to become Arana’s Estimator. It has been exciting to progress in the company like this! What matters most to me about painting is the end result. When we start on a project, we are looking at a house that is really in need of repair and restoration, and the paint process and the eventual revival of that house is so satisfying to see. The end result is beautiful, another house transformed – healed from the past effects of weather and time. Now that I am Arana’s Estimator, I use the knowledge I gained in the field to inform each one of my site visits. I know what it takes to do the job right, because I learned Arana’s ‘Craftsman Way’ and I did those jobs myself. I treat every one of our clients’ homes as if it were my own home. We provide a good product that clients are happy with and that I can feel proud of. That’s how I am in my own life; and that is my overall philosophy: Do things right.
