About Us
Your trusted partner and go-to choice
for commercial painting services in Northern California.
Decades of experience.
Quality & work ethic from day one.
Urban Painting began as a family-run business. In fact, all six Urban brothers have painted professionally for the company at one time or another. Over the years, we have been fortunate to grow "the family" to include incredibly talented and dedicated partners.
Our management staff, including key foremen, have been with the company an average of twenty years.
We employ more than 150 professional painters during peak season. Every team member—journeymen, foremen, production managers, and estimators—has worked his or her way up through the ranks. We make sure they learn firsthand what it means to do things the Urban way: with a relentless focus on quality workmanship, and a commitment to customer service.
Today, Urban Painting is a thriving commercial outfit with headquarters in Marin County. We serve the entire greater Bay Area, with projects from San Jose to Santa Rosa and from San Francisco to Sacramento.

OUR PAINTED PICTURE
Since our inception, we have always strived to be the best company we can be in all respects, which is why we decided to undertake a process called a Painted Picture to better define who we are and where we want to go. This is what we came up with.
OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE
A Painted Picture is a vision of the future of your business. It allows you to remove yourself from the “now” and imagine where you would like to see your business in a few years. The idea is to get creative and imaginative, to forget about the how and focus on the where.
The purpose of the picture is to provide everyone associated with the company with a clear picture of where we want to be in three years. How do we get there? That’s up to the creativity and talent of the team. The picture enables the team to exercise their own judgment and skill by providing a common vision of where the company wants to be.
We put it on paper so that we would be faithful and constantly work to fulfill its mandate. It is easy in the course of daily business to focus on immediate needs, to the detriment of the long-term mission of the company. Our Painted Picture is a reminder and benchmark of what Urban Waterproofing is and can be. It is not the company you are working with or joining now, but the company we hope to create with your help.
We present this Painted Picture to you as a potential new employee, client, vendor, subcontractor, or associate with Urban Waterproofing because we want you to know what type of company you will be working with, what our goals are, and what we expect the company to be in the future. Most importantly, we want you to understand our vision so that you can become an active force in making it a reality.
