Upland house painting done at full strength
AAA Painting runs crews into Upland from our shop in Jurupa Valley, close enough that a walk-through is a short drive and a callback never waits a week. C-33 painting contractor, fifty years on the brush, and the same rule on every street: we use the manufacturer specified amount of paint on all surfaces. See the finished work, then ask for a ballpark.

Upland pairs a genuinely charming old downtown grid with foothill homes that catch the same Santa Ana winds as Rancho next door. Craftsman details near downtown want brush-and-prime patience; the Colonies-era stucco wants full-strength coats on the wind side.
Gracious old streets raise the bar on curb appeal, and our lines stay crisp under scrutiny. Around San Antonio Heights edges, the historic downtown grid, and the Colonies, we quote every job from measured square footage, and your house gets the manufacturer specified amount of paint on all surfaces.
The painting work we take on here
The full catalog runs more than 130 services, every one held to the same full-coat standard. These are the ones Upland calls about most, and the whole list is a click away.
The rhythm of a job here
The exterior routine does not bend: pressure wash, scrape and sand what is failing, patch and prime, then paint at the manufacturer’s specified amount. We photograph the prep as we go, so you can see what got fixed before it disappeared under the finish.
A lot of our interior calls start small, one bedroom or a stairwell, and grow once the owner sees the prep. Patched drywall you cannot find afterward, caulk lines that stay straight, and cut-ins that do not wander. That is the standard whether it is one room or twelve.
Cabinet packages are their own trade and we treat them that way: doors and drawers off and sprayed flat in controlled conditions, boxes masked and finished in place, hardware bagged and labeled. A kitchen goes from tired to showroom without a demolition bill.
Paint cares about surface temperature more than air temperature. We schedule sun-baked elevations for morning, shade-side walls for afternoon, and never lay finish on a wall too hot to touch. It is a small discipline that shows up years later in how the film holds.
The promise, in writing
The reason this company exists is simple: the owner watched an employer stretch paint to half the spec, job after job, and could not square it with his conscience. So on your Upland job we use the manufacturer specified amount of paint on all surfaces. We take pride in our preparations and painting, and most especially we strive for customer comfort through the whole process.
That protects you twice. It keeps the bid honest at the kitchen table, and it keeps the crew honest on the ladder. The painters work quickly and professionally to make your experience a great one, and they work with the customers to make this the most comfortable painting experience as possible.
The sequence on a Upland job does not vary. Floors are masked at the edges and covered with drop cloths, furniture is draped with lightweight plastic sheeting, and lights, fans, sockets, and switches are masked off with the wall plates removed, then reinstalled once the paint has dried. Repairs come next: nail holes, cracks, and dings filled and sanded, glossy surfaces deglossed, stains sealed with the right primer, and spot texturing or whole wall texturing as needed. Only then does paint go on.
Cut lines are clean and crisp, while the roll coat is thick and blended. Where spraying is the better call it involves more masking, and it applies more and thicker paint than rolling, but it gives the cleanest and straightest lines. At the end you walk through with the foreman. Anything that bothers you gets fixed before we load a ladder, the paint related trash is properly disposed of, floors are swept, and items the painters moved go back where they belong.
The paint and materials used are the best in the painting industry. We prefer Ultra-Premium paints, and the proper paint for each surface. The water based ultra-premium paints used these days dry much faster than the oil based paints of yester year, and look great. We firmly stand behind our workmanship and the materials we use, with a standard warranty of 4 years from the date of completion. Most paint stores recommend painting your trim every 4 years to keep your home in excellent condition.
Scheduling with us is easy, and it takes only minutes. The walkthrough happens quickly and a price is given at that appointment. Next is to calendar the job. Weather can push the jobs back a bit, and the jobsite is cleaned up at the end of each day. Nothing is required from you but your name, address and phone number. We may suggest other surfaces that need painting, but you might not have noticed. Want it in writing? Ask for a ballpark.

Straight answers for Upland
Do we have to move out while you paint?
Almost never. The modern water based paints we use these days dry very quickly, and the odor is far less than the oil based paints of the past. Masking is removed from the beds as needed on a daily basis.
Are you licensed and insured?
We hold a California C-33 painting and decorating contractor classification and carry insurance. Ask for the paperwork on the walk-through and we hand it over before you sign anything.
Will you give me a price over the phone?
We will give you an honest range once we hear the scope, but the number we stand behind comes after we walk the job. Ten minutes on site beats twenty guesses on the phone.
Do you actually work in Upland, or just advertise here?
We work here. The crew runs out of Jurupa Valley and Upland is part of the regular route. Ask on the walk-through and we will point you to jobs we have done nearby that you can drive past.
Do you handle repairs before painting?
Yes, and we would rather fix them than paint over them. Drywall, stucco cracks, wood rot, caulking, texture matching. Prep and repair are about half the hours on a typical job, which is exactly why the finish holds.
Can you handle commercial work in Upland?
Yes. Offices, retail, restaurants, medical suites, apartment turns. We schedule around your business hours and hit the date we gave you, because a shop that cannot open is losing money on our account.
How fast can you get a ballpark to Upland?
Usually same week, often next day. Upland sits inside our 50 mile circle from Jurupa Valley, so a walk-through is a short drive, and most walk-throughs end with a number on the spot and the written version the next morning.
How long will an exterior repaint last here?
With full prep and two honest coats of a quality product, expect eight to twelve years depending on exposure and color. The same house painted with stretched material starts chalking in three or four. The sun out here does not forgive shortcuts.
Do you paint kitchen cabinets in Upland?
All the time. Doors and drawers come off and get sprayed flat for a factory-style finish, boxes are masked and done in place. We also stain, glaze, and refinish when the wood deserves to stay visible.
