One licensed painter · Lake Arrowhead to Yucaipa
Rainbow Painting is a licensed California painting contractor based in Yucaipa, working across the Inland Empire, up in Lake Arrowhead and the San Bernardino Mountains, and down the pass into the Coachella Valley. Cesar Perez has 15+ years in the trade, holds C-33 license #935911, and does interior and exterior painting, staining, new construction and repaints. Estimates are free.
Up at Lake Arrowhead a south-facing wall takes snow, ice and unfiltered UV in the same year. An hour downhill in Yucaipa it bakes all summer instead. A coat lasts in either place only if it went on over wood that was washed, scraped, patched and primed first. That is the half of the job nobody photographs. Cesar Perez has 15+ years in the trade, licensed under his own name.
Based in Yucaipa and traveling about an hour: the Inland Empire, Lake Arrowhead and the mountain communities, western Riverside County, and the Coachella Valley.
What we do
The same person quotes the job, preps it, paints it, and answers the phone afterwards.
Walls, ceilings, trim and doors, cut in clean and left livable. Interiors run all year, winter included.
The coat that has to survive a mountain winter or an Inland Empire summer.
Wood where you still want to see the grain after the coat goes on.
Handing over a finished build, or making a house look new again.
Our work

Handled by a licensed roofer
Cesar works with a licensed roofing contractor and brings them to the same visit, so you are not chasing two trades around one house. They quote and contract the roof work.
Who we are
Rainbow Painting is Cesar Perez. He has 15+ years in the trade, holds California painting license #935911, works out of Yucaipa, and does a large share of his work up in Lake Arrowhead and the mountain communities: interiors, exteriors, staining, new construction and repaints.
Exceptional quality, honesty and satisfaction guaranteed. That line is on the flyer Cesar hands out, and it is the whole business model. He is licensed under his own name, he quotes the work himself, and he is the person you call if something is wrong.
Where we work
Cesar travels about an hour from Yucaipa. Lake Arrowhead is inside that, and so is the Coachella Valley: it is freeway the whole way, so Palm Springs is a shorter trip than the mountains. The towns below are the ones we expect that hour reaches, listed so you can find him from yours. It is a range rather than a fixed list. Not sure whether yours is in it? Call and ask.
Home base. Rainbow Painting is licensed out of Yucaipa, and these are the closest jobs there are.
Up the hill, and a large share of the work. Mountain exteriors, cabins and decks are their own job: snow, ice and unfiltered UV in the same year.
South and west of Yucaipa, most of it inside forty minutes.
Straight down the I-10 through the pass, and closer to Yucaipa than the mountains are. Desert exteriors fail from heat and UV rather than snow and ice, and get prepped accordingly.
Questions
Rainbow Painting works throughout the San Bernardino Mountains, including Lake Arrowhead, Crestline, Blue Jay, Twin Peaks, Cedar Glen, Skyforest, Rimforest, Running Springs, Arrowbear Lake, Green Valley Lake, Angelus Oaks and Forest Falls. Mountain homes are a large share of the work. Call Cesar Perez at (909) 659-9623.
Yes. Rainbow Painting is based in Yucaipa, so the Inland Empire is the closest work there is: Yucaipa, Oak Glen, Mentone, Redlands, Loma Linda, Highland, San Bernardino, Colton, Grand Terrace, Bloomington, Rialto, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Ontario, Montclair, Chino and Chino Hills. Just over the county line, Calimesa, Cherry Valley, Beaumont and Banning are all within about twenty minutes.
Yes. Yucaipa sits at the top of the pass, so the desert is about 45 minutes of freeway: Desert Hot Springs, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Thousand Palms, Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert. Desert exteriors fail from heat and UV rather than snow, and they get prepped for that.
About an hour's drive from Yucaipa, which reaches four directions: the Inland Empire out to Ontario and Chino Hills, up the mountain to Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear's doorstep, south and west through Beaumont and Banning to Riverside, Moreno Valley, Corona, Hemet and Lake Elsinore, and down the pass to Palm Springs and Palm Desert. The desert is freeway the whole way, so it is a shorter trip than the mountains. If you are near the edge of that, call and ask.
Yes. Rainbow Painting holds California contractor license #935911, classification C-33 Painting and Decorating, and it is current. Cesar has 15+ years in the trade. You can check the license yourself at cslb.ca.gov.
Estimates are free. Call (909) 659-9623 or email rainbow.painting92325@gmail.com with what you want painted, roughly how big it is, and what city the house is in. Appointments are usually booked within the same week you ask.
Cesar works Monday through Friday, plus some Saturdays when a project needs it. Estimate appointments generally happen the same week you ask for one. Once you approve the quote, work typically starts one to three weeks later.
Interior painting runs all year, and winter is a good time for it. Exterior painting in the mountains depends on the weather: Cesar paints outside when it is above roughly 50°F and conditions allow, which happens on plenty of winter days up there. If you are not sure whether your job can go ahead, call and he will tell you straight.
Painting is what Rainbow Painting is licensed for: California C-33, license #935911. Roofing falls under a different license class, so Cesar does not do roofing himself. He does work regularly with a licensed roofing contractor, so if your roof needs repairs, a tune-up or a full re-roof, mention it when he comes out for the paint estimate and he will bring the roofer in and coordinate the two jobs around each other. The roofing work is contracted with the licensed roofer.
Interior and exterior painting, staining and finishing, new construction, and full repaints. Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, cabinets, siding, stucco, decks, railings and fences.
Yes. Stucco, siding and trim are all part of the exterior work, along with the wash, scrape and prime that goes on before the coat does.
Single-room and single-surface jobs are welcome. Cabinets, a deck, a fence, a front door, one accent wall. There is no minimum you have to hit before it is worth a call.
Cesar does the painting himself. He is the person who comes out to quote the job, the person on the ladder, and the person who answers the phone if something is wrong afterwards. There is no crew to hand you off to. Roofing is the one exception, and that goes to the licensed roofing contractor he works with.
Every job is priced on what it actually needs, so there is no list price to quote here. The estimate is free and Cesar prices it himself, after looking at the actual house.
