About AAR Painting LLC

Meet Alvaro Arriola and the AAR Painting Crew

Alvaro spent 13 years learning the painting trade on job sites for another company. He started AAR Painting LLC to put that experience to work directly for Grand Rapids homeowners, property managers and business owners.

He works alongside his brother and his cousin, and he can bring in more painters when a bigger project needs more hands. When you call, you are talking to the person who runs the job.

Why Grand Rapids Customers Choose AAR Painting

Experience you can see in the finish

Thirteen years of interior, exterior, residential and commercial work means fewer surprises on your job and a crew that knows what each surface needs.

A direct line to the owner

Call (616) 415-9590 and talk to the painter who will actually be on site. Questions about color, prep or timing get a straight answer.

A crew sized to your project

A small, close-working crew keeps your home or unit under careful watch, and extra painters can join when an apartment turnover or commercial job calls for it.

We look at the job, talk through the prep and the finish, and give you a free quote so you know what the work involves before you commit.

Painting Built for West Michigan Weather

A paint job in Grand Rapids has to survive lake-effect snow, a long heating season indoors and humid summers. That is why we spend as much time on preparation as on painting: scraping and washing exteriors, patching and sanding interior walls, and priming bare or stained spots before any finish coat goes on.

Exterior projects are scheduled for late spring through early fall, when surfaces are dry and temperatures suit the paint. Interior work, cabinets and repairs can happen any time of year, so your project keeps moving even when the weather does not cooperate.

  • Older homes: plaster repair, scraping and priming before paint
  • Apartments and commercial space: phased schedules and consistent color
  • Decks, fences and cabinets: finish work with proper cure time
