Premium Materials. French Craft. Irvine Standards.
Riot Renovation combines a decade of French finish training (CAP, BEP, Mention Faux Finish) with premium products from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and specialty mineral finish suppliers. Every surface is prepped to standard, not rushed. Every coat is applied with the tools and technique the product was designed for.
We specialize in finishes that generic painters cannot execute: hand-applied limewash, Venetian plaster, mineral coatings, and high-finish interior work for modern Orange County homes. The owner is on-site for every consultation and manages every active project personally.
This is not commodity painting. This is elevated work for homes that deserve it.

Your Painting & Finish FAQs
Common questions from homeowners across Irvine and Orange County about interior painting, limewash, and specialty finishes.
How much does interior painting cost in Irvine?
Pricing depends on room size, wall condition, and finish type. Walls-only packages are the starting point; ceilings, trim, and accent finishes are add-ons. Share a photo with your room dimensions and we'll send a ballpark within one business day. Every project gets a fully itemized written quote before any work begins.
Do you repair holes and texture first?
Yes — standard patching, sanding, and spot-priming are included in every room package. Larger repairs like water damage or significant drywall work are scoped and quoted separately up front, so there are no surprises.
Which paint sheens do you recommend?
Matte or eggshell for main living areas, satin for kitchens, bathrooms, and trim. We match sheen to the room's use and lighting conditions during the consultation.
Can you match my existing color?
Yes — provide the brand and formula, or a color chip, and we'll sample to confirm before starting.
What’s the difference between limewash and regular paint?
Limewash is a mineral-based coating that adds natural movement and soft texture to walls. Unlike standard paint, it allows walls to breathe and develops a beautiful patina over time. It's applied by hand in layers and creates an organic, velvety look that flat paint cannot replicate — and it's well-suited to Orange County's dry climate.
What does a Riot consultation include?
We visit your home for a 45-minute walkthrough. We photograph every room being considered and discuss finish options in context. You receive a fully itemized written quote (products, coats, prep method, timeline, and payment schedule) plus sample boards in the exact finishes for your approval. The consultation is free. No deposit is taken until you've approved what you've seen.
How long does a typical interior paint job take?
Most full-interior projects (2,000–3,500 sq ft) are completed in 5–7 working days. Single rooms or accent walls typically take 1–3 days. We confirm the exact timeline in your written quote before scheduling begins.
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.
