Custom Wall Murals & Wall Printing in Pasadena
Historic homes, restaurants and school or institutional buildings in Pasadena — artwork printed directly onto existing walls, with no wallpaper, no adhesive and no seams.
Old Buildings, New Surfaces
Pasadena has more period building stock than most of the county, and that changes the conversation. Craftsman and Spanish Revival houses, converted commercial buildings around Old Pasadena and Colorado Boulevard, and long-established institutions all bring surfaces that are not simply flat modern drywall — plaster, panelling, previously papered walls, decades of repainting.
We survey the surface before quoting rather than after. A sound, smooth plaster wall prints beautifully. A wall with a failing paint layer or heavy relief texture needs preparation first, and we say which one you have from a photograph before anyone commits to a date.
Restaurants and Hospitality
The hospitality work here is character-driven: dining rooms that want a historic photograph at wall scale, a botanical or garden treatment, a hand-illustrated map, a heritage motif that references the building. Printing suits it because the artwork can be one continuous piece across an irregular older wall rather than a set of panels fighting the geometry.
Practically, restaurants are printed between service or on a closed day, floors and fixtures are protected, and the room is usable immediately because the ink is cured as it is printed.
Schools, Campuses and Institutions
Pasadena has an unusually high concentration of schools, colleges and civic institutions, and they form a steady part of the work — mascots in gyms, values walls in corridors, library and STEM-room graphics, donor recognition walls.
These projects are scheduled into breaks or after hours and are almost always completed in a single visit per wall, which is the reason institutions choose printing over painted murals: there is no artist on site for a fortnight and no barriered-off corridor. Our school and campus murals page covers the process and approvals in detail.
Site protection, access and clean handover follow construction-trade practice, since the printing division is operated by American Reliable Construction & Remodeling, CSLB License #1155602.
What We Print in Pasadena
Every mural type below is printed the same way — a vertical UV printer is brought into your Pasadena space and the artwork is cured straight onto the existing wall. Nothing is hung, pasted or stuck on.
How It Works
1. Send a wall photo. One straight-on photo with the whole surface in frame, plus the rough width and height in feet, is enough to quote.
2. Get a free visual preview. We return a to-scale mockup of the artwork on your own wall, together with pricing — usually the same day.
3. We print on-site. The printer comes to your Pasadena address, floors and fixtures are protected, and the ink is cured by UV light as it prints, so the room is usable as soon as we pack down.
Getting to Pasadena From Our Sherman Oaks Studio
Pasadena is typically about 35 minutes from the studio at 15260 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks. Pasadena is typically about 35 minutes from the Sherman Oaks studio along the 134, and institutional jobs there are usually scheduled into a holiday or after-hours window agreed weeks ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you print onto old plaster walls?
Often yes, provided the plaster is sound and the existing paint is well bonded. We check from a photo and, where needed, on site, and tell you if preparation is required before printing.
What if the building is historic or protected?
Printing does not attach anything to the wall and does not alter the structure, and the surface can be repainted later. Even so, check with your local authority or preservation body before booking — approval is the property owner's responsibility.
How are school projects scheduled?
Into breaks, half-terms, weekends or after hours, agreed in advance. Each wall is normally a single visit, so a corridor or gym is not out of use for an extended period.
Can the artwork be created for us?
We print from artwork you supply or from artwork prepared for the project. Either way, you approve a to-scale preview of the image on your own wall before we print.
