Who We Are

Real People Who Care Deeply

Behind every brushstroke is a story, a true leader, and a professional you can trust. With 25 years of service, a team of empowered leaders, and trusted professionals who treat every home like their own, Arclight is built on people who care as much about the outcome as you do.

25 Years of Service

Arclight’s story began in the mid-1990s, when founder Shawn Nagano picked up a brush during college summers. What started as side work turned into a lifelong mission: to build something that combined craftsmanship, integrity, and service.
From those early days, Shawn carried painting with him through every chapter—launching his first business, serving as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army, and eventually founding Arclight Painting in 2013. Side by side with co-founder Jennifer Pattison, also a veteran, the two built a company rooted in grit, quality, and trust.
Our name, logo, and culture all reflect that mission. “Arclight” is a symbol of clarity—a light strong enough to reveal every detail. The butterfly in our mark represents transformation and creativity, while bold colors stand for honesty, ownership, friendship, and family. Together, these values have guided us through decades of growth.
For 25 years, painting has been more than our trade—it’s been our way of serving people. Today, every stroke we paint carries that same purpose: to transform homes, build trust, and elevate lives.

Empowered Leaders

At Arclight, we don’t just paint houses—we build relationships, empower leaders, and deliver above & beyond service. Our team isn’t just a collection of roles and titles; it’s a family of exceptional people who care deeply, show up fully, and take ownership of every outcome.
What follows isn’t a roster—it’s a window into the people who make Arclight what it is. Each leader was chosen not only for their skill, but because they embody our Core Values of friendship, family, honesty, ownership, creativity, and passion.

This is who we are—and why we love what we do.
