The finish partner for OC designers & builders
Your spec, executed exactly. Your client, impressed. Your name, protected. You've been burned before: a painter who "interpreted" the spec, drop cloths that weren't there, a client calling you about the mess. Riot Renovation was built by someone who has sat on your side of the table — 8 years in product design before returning to the trade he was raised in. We speak drawing sets and Benjamin Moore codes with equal fluency.

Approvals move faster
Renders of the actual room and brushed sample boards in the specified colorway — your client signs off on what they'll actually see.
Finishes most crews can't do

What Irvine & Orange County Homeowners Say
Breno, the owner, was hands-on throughout the entire process, constantly checking in to ensure the quality met — and exceeded — my expectations. Because they did such a phenomenal job, I've already hired them to paint our cabinets next.
Thomas
San Juan Capistrano · Interior Painting
I’m obsessed with how my place turned out. The clay plaster is stunning and gives the walls such a soft, cozy vibe that feels so chic. The accent wall behind the TV? Pure perfection.
Antonio Junior
Irvine · Clay Plaster
As a designer myself, I admit to being a bit picky. His conscientious true-French craftsmanship could not have been better suited to our needs. Breno is an experienced designer himself — a surprise bonus. Our home is now more elegant than ever.

FAQ — Trade Partnerships
Do you offer trade pricing?
We price for the relationship, not the single job. Repeat trade partners get priority scheduling and volume consideration on multi-room and multi-project engagements. Every quote is written and honored — your client never sees a surprise invoice with your name near it.
Can you match a finish or color another vendor specified?
Yes. We work from designer paint schedules, Portola/Benjamin Moore/Sherwin-Williams codes, or physical samples. For limewash and Roman clay we produce brushed sample boards in the specified colorway before application.
Will you work under our contract or yours?
Riot contracts directly with the property owner, with you as project lead — whether you're the designer or the builder. One contract, one license, one clean insurance chain: our crew works under Riot's management and CSLB B-2 #1139813, so there's never a sub-tier question on your project. Your client relationship and communication flow stay exactly as you've structured them.
How far out do you book?
Typically about a month out. Trade partners get first access to openings and priority on rush timelines.
Is Riot Renovation licensed and insured?
Yes. Riot Renovation holds a California B2 contractor's license (#1139813) and carries full general liability on every project. Verification documents are available before work begins.
