House painter in Lake Arrowhead
Painting in Lake Arrowhead
Rainbow Painting is Cesar Perez, a licensed California painting contractor (C-33 #935911) with 15+ years in the trade, based in Yucaipa. Lake Arrowhead is one of the two places his work concentrates: a large share of his jobs are up here and in the mountain communities around the lake.
Mountain exteriors, cabins and decks
Up here they are their own kind of job. A south-facing wall gets snow, ice and unfiltered UV in the same year. A coat lasts only if the wood was washed, scraped, patched and primed first.
Winter on the mountain
Interior painting runs all year, and winter is a good time for it. Exteriors depend on the weather: Cesar paints outside when it is above roughly 50°F and conditions allow. NOAA's figures show an average daily high of about 44°F at Lake Arrowhead from December through February, then above 50°F in March, with about 22 inches of snow in an average year (NOAA 1991-2020 climate normals, Lake Arrowhead station). So a winter exterior goes ahead on warm days, not on a fixed date. Not sure whether yours can? Call and he will tell you straight.
What Cesar paints

Walls, ceilings, trim and doors, cut in clean and left livable. Interiors run all year, winter included.
Exterior Painting
The coat that has to survive a mountain winter or an Inland Empire summer.
Staining & Finishing
Wood where you still want to see the grain after the coat goes on.
New Construction & Repaints
Handing over a finished build, or making a house look new again.
How an estimate works
Free, and usually the same week
Estimates are free. Call or email and say what you want painted, roughly how big it is, and what city the house is in. Appointments are usually booked the same week you ask.
One to three weeks to start
Once you approve the quote, work typically starts one to three weeks later. Cesar works Monday through Friday, plus some Saturdays when a project needs it.
Priced and painted by Cesar
Cesar comes out to quote the job himself and does the painting himself. There is no crew to hand you off to.
Small jobs 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.
Around the lake
Rainbow Painting works throughout the San Bernardino Mountains, including Crestline, Blue Jay, Twin Peaks, Cedar Glen, Skyforest, Rimforest, Running Springs, Arrowbear Lake, Green Valley Lake, Angelus Oaks and Forest Falls. Cesar travels about an hour from Yucaipa. That is a range, not a fixed list. If you are not sure your town is in it, call and ask.
