About QPC
Locally Rooted, Regionally Trusted Wood Preservation Specialists.
QPC Architectural Wood Preservation is a specialized division of Quality Paint Contractor, dedicated exclusively to master-caliber deck restoration, custom refinishing, and exterior wood preservation across Napa, Sonoma, and Marin Counties. Recognized as one of Napa County’s top-rated, fully credentialed architectural finishers, we fuse advanced environmental wood science with an unwavering commitment to old-school craftsmanship.
At QPC, we believe in doing things the right way—the meticulous way. In an industry where volume contractors routinely rush through projects and cut corners to move on to the next job, we choose to remain focused on precision. We do not rely on aggressive, high-pressure washing that permanently alters and destroys delicate wood grain, nor do we apply short-term, generic coatings that quickly peel under the Northern California sun.
Because I personally direct and execute every preservation commission from start to finish, I guarantee an elite tier of detail regardless of the property's size, layout, or project scope. We invest the necessary time into deep chemical conditioning, precision tannin extraction, and meticulous hand-sanding to safely open the wood grain before any protective finishes are applied. Our mission is honest, master-caliber workmanship and structural protection that homeowners and estate managers can feel absolute confidence in for years to come.
Our Core Architectural Philosophy
Great execution is guided by absolute alignment. Every preservation commission we undertake is executed under five strict standards of care:
-
Absolute Transparency: Clear, articulate, and honest communication from your initial property assessment through final masterwork inspections.
-
Operational Reliability: Punctual scheduling, consistent follow-through, and a highly respectful on-site footprint designed for minimal property disruption.
-
Artisan Craftsmanship: Uncompromising attention to grain detail, grain direction, board preparation, and flawless coating thickness.
-
Direct Owner Accountability: Direct, un-filtered access to the firm's founder ensures your aesthetic standards are heard, respected, and delivered.
-
Complete Professional Credentials: Fully licensed, heavily insured, and bonded to provide absolute peace of mind for high-value estate investments.

Rich Becerra
Owner / Lead Preservation Specialist — 35 Years of Master-Level Experience
Rich is a hands‑on craftsman who genuinely loves the technical art of wood restoration and preservation. What began as a dedicated trade has evolved into a lifelong passion, shaped by decades of multi-generation experience, profound material patience, and an elite standard of execution.
He is personally involved in every commission, from the initial microclimate analysis to the final hand-laid coat of finish. Discerning homeowners and estate managers appreciate that when they hire QPC, they are securing Rich’s eyes, Rich’s hands, and Rich’s precise standards on their property—never a rotating sub-contracted crew. While a small, hand-selected team joins him for expansive commercial resort projects, residential commissions are executed primarily by Rich himself to ensure every single board, beam, and joinery transition receives his undivided attention.
