Mike Rarov is a professional painter and founder of Mr. Rarov Painting, serving the Greater Los Angeles area since 2014. With over a decade of hands-on experience, he has built a reputation for precision, reliability, and craftsmanship across hundreds of residential and commercial projects — from single-room refreshes to full property repaints, cabinet refinishing, drywall repair, and large-scale exterior work.
Mike's expertise spans a wide range of surfaces, materials, and project types, having worked in everything from compact Koreatown apartments to million-dollar homes in the hills, as well as offices, medical facilities, hotels, and HOA properties throughout LA, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, and Beverly Hills. His consistent 5-star rating and steady stream of referrals speak to a standard of work that holds up long after the job is done.
In his writing, Mike shares the kind of knowledge that only comes from years on the job — surface prep techniques, paint selection, color trends, project planning, and the honest trade-offs that most contractors won't tell you about. If it's in the blog, it's been tested in the field.
