Who Care Deeply
Our team is built on character, excellence, and genuine care, so you can feel confident knowing your project is in trusted hands.
Arclight's story began in the mid-1990s, when founder Shawn Nagano started painting during college summers. What began as side work became a lifelong commitment to craftsmanship, integrity, and service.
After building his first business and serving as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army, Shawn founded Arclight Painting in 2013 alongside co-founder Jennifer Pattison, also a veteran. Together, they built a company rooted in discipline, trust, and doing the job right.
The Arclight name reflects clarity, attention to detail, and transformation, values that continue to shape our culture and our work today.

We do more than complete projects. We build relationships, take ownership, and lead with purpose. Our team is made up of empowered leaders who communicate clearly, solve problems proactively, and work hard to create an experience that feels smooth, professional, and trustworthy.
