Who We Are — About Christina & Blue River
Blue River Painting was founded by Christina Dornbierer, a working painter and licensed California contractor who has spent over 8 years refining her craft on Los Angeles homes — from classic Craftsman bungalows in Pasadena to modern estates in Pacific Palisades.
Christina leads every project personally. That means when you reach out, you're talking to the person who will actually be on the job — not a salesperson or subcontractor coordinator. Her hands-on approach is why 97% of our clients refer us to their friends and neighbors.
We specialize in residential painting for discerning homeowners who want more than a coat of paint. Whether it's a full exterior overhaul, an interior color refresh, or a specialty wall finish that requires real skill to execute — limewash, Roman clay, or Venetian plaster — we bring the same level of care and preparation to every wall we touch.
Blue River Painting is fully licensed and insured in the state of California (License #1052263) and carries general liability coverage on every project.

Interior Painting in Los Angeles
A great interior paint job starts long before the roller hits the wall. We patch, sand, and prime every surface so the finish looks flawless and holds up over time. Our team works cleanly — furniture and floors are protected, and we don't leave until every edge is crisp and every room is back in order.
We use premium paints from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Farrow & Ball, and we're happy to work with colors your designer has specified or help you find the right palette from scratch.
Exterior Painting in Los Angeles
LA's climate looks mild, but sun exposure, temperature swings, and marine layer moisture take a real toll on exterior surfaces. We use weather-resistant coatings engineered for Southern California conditions and pay careful attention to surface prep — caulking, wood repair, and primer, so the paint bond lasts.
Most of our exterior projects in older Los Angeles neighborhoods involve homes with original wood siding or stucco that needs more than a quick rollover. We know how to handle both.
Cabinet Painting
Cabinet painting done right means factory-smooth results — no brush marks, no drips, no uneven sheen. We remove doors and hardware, sand and degloss all surfaces, apply a bonding primer, and spray a durable topcoat designed for high-use surfaces. The result is a finish that looks and performs like new cabinetry at a fraction of the cost.

Why Choose Blue River Painting
There's no shortage of painters in Los Angeles. Here's what we hear most often from clients who've worked with others before finding us:
-
You actually show up when you say you will. Punctuality and communication are things we take seriously — not just good-job-site habits, but respect for your home and schedule.
-
The prep work is real. A lot of painters skip it. We don't. Proper prep is the difference between a job that looks good for a year and one that holds up for ten.
-
Christina is hands-on from start to finish. You work with the owner — not a middleman. That keeps quality consistent and communication clear.
