California commercial painters since 1983

Since 1983, Raider Painting has provided professional commercial and industrial painting services throughout California, helping property owners, facility managers, and industrial operators protect and maintain their assets. Our expertise includes commercial painting, industrial coatings, corrosion control, tank linings, structural steel coatings, floor coatings, and specialty protective coating systems designed for long-term performance.

Our portfolio includes some of California’s most recognizable and demanding projects, including the Capitol Records Building and Wilshire Comstock Towers in Los Angeles, structural steel coatings on San Francisco’s Sutro Tower, and tank lining work for the Twin Oaks Water Treatment Plant. Whether protecting commercial buildings, industrial facilities, water infrastructure, or mission-critical assets, Raider Painting delivers proven coating solutions focused on durability, performance, and value.

We’ve painted the Capitol Records Building and the Wilshire Comstock towers in Los Angeles, coated the steel on San Francisco’s Sutro Tower, and lined tanks for the Twin Oaks Water Treatment Plant.

Raider Painting has extensive experience with prevailing wage painting and coating projects for public agencies, school districts, municipalities, and water districts. As an actively DIR-registered contractor, we meet California public works requirements and understand the importance of certified payroll, compliance, safety, and project documentation.

FAQ

Common questions

More FAQs
Do you work on prevailing wage projects?

Yes. We maintain active DIR and SAMS registrations.

How soon can I get a site visit? How long does it take to receive an estimate?

Site visits are typically scheduled within 2–4 days, depending on the urgency and scope of your project. In many cases, we can provide preliminary pricing even faster by using satellite imagery and client-provided photos, allowing us to complete remote assessments when an on-site visit isn’t immediately necessary. Once a site visit is completed, formal written estimates are generally turned around within 1–2 days for straightforward projects, while larger or more complex scopes may require 4–7 days to prepare accurately. Rush estimates are also available Just let us know the urgency and we’ll make it happen!

Do I have to pay for an estimate?

No, estimates are always free. Your estimator will walk through your project details and, in many cases, can share preliminary pricing during your first conversation.

Do you perform residential work? Can you paint my house or epoxy my garage floor?

We do not perform single-family residential work. Our services are focused exclusively on commercial, industrial, and institutional environments where specialized coatings, safety requirements, and large-scale project coordination are essential.
