A Name that Illuminates Our Mission
When we set out to build something lasting—a business that felt more like a legacy than a company—we knew the name had to mean something. It had to stand for something. That’s how Arclight Painting was born.
The word “arclight” isn’t just a term from the world of electricity. It’s a symbol of transformation, brilliance, and connection. An arclight is what originally powered spotlights and movie projectors. It is created when electricity leaps between two charged rods, producing a burst of radiant illumination. That single arc represents something powerful: a bridge between opposites, a spark that transforms darkness into light.
This name perfectly captures what we set out to do—not just to paint homes, but to transform them. To create clarity, warmth, and brilliance where before there may have been wear, damage, or plainness. And that same arc of energy is found in every part of who we are.
A Name Rooted in Our Core Values
At the heart of Arclight are our Core Values: family, friendship, freedom, creativity, and honesty. Each one resonates deeply with the symbolism of a bright light.
Family is the grounding force, the stable current. Just as an arc needs connection, we thrive through bonds—between our team members, our clients, and our community. Everyone at Arclight matters, and everyone has a place in our shared success.
Friendship is the warmth that our light gives off. We believe in treating our customers not just as jobs to be completed, but as people to befriend. Trust, respect, and care are the foundation of every project we take on.
Freedom is the power behind the arc. We empower our team to work with autonomy, to solve problems creatively, and to lead with their strengths. Our customers feel that freedom too: the comfort of knowing their home is in reliable, skillful hands.
Creativity is the shape of the arc itself—dynamic, graceful, full of potential. Painting is an art, and we treat it that way. From color consultation to fine-detail work, our craft is about creating something beautiful and lasting.
Honesty is the clarity of the light. Just like an arclight reveals everything in its beam, we believe in transparency, communication, and integrity. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just hard work, clear expectations, and exceptional craftmanship.
More Than a Name
“Arclight” isn’t just a clever name; it’s a daily reminder for us to go above and beyond. It’s the promise that wherever we work, we bring brilliance. It’s the commitment to be a steady force in an often unreustworthy industry. And it’s the belief that craftsmanship, character, and care can light the way—for our customers, our employees, and our community.
The Butterfly
A symbol in our logo, a butterfly with wings made of rainbow-colored light, complements the name Arclight with striking harmony. Like the arclight, the butterfly is a symbol of transformation, vibrancy, and beauty balanced with strength. Each color in its wings speaks to the creative palette we work with and the diversity that we embrace, while its lightness and clarity echo our commitment to transparency and grace.
The butterfly also reflects our belief in freedom and beauty born through growth and transformation. Just as a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis, our work helps homes emerge into their fullest, most expressive form. It flutters with the same energy our team brings: colorful, creative, and purposeful.
Together, the arclight and the butterfly express our vision that is both bold and gentle. Illumination and transformation. Power and beauty. Integrity and imagination.
We’re proud of our name. We’re even prouder of what it stands for.
Where we go, the light follows!
