Wheatpaste poster advertising in California.

Yes, on private walls with the owner's written consent, which we secure before anything gets pasted. There is no single statewide wheatpasting statute in California. The rule lives in municipal code, so it varies city to city, and the constant is the same everywhere: a private surface plus documented permission is legal, and public infrastructure is not. We never touch utility poles, traffic signs, transit surfaces, or municipal right-of-way. Historic-overlay blocks in parts of Los Angeles and San Francisco need extra clearance, which we handle before the crew is dispatched.

Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and San Jose are our California markets. In LA we run Melrose, Fairfax, the Arts District, Silver Lake, and Echo Park. In SF we run the Mission, SoMa, the Haight, and North Beach. San Diego covers North Park, East Village, and the Gaslamp approach. We coordinate multiple metros on a single launch week when a brand wants statewide California presence.

Campaigns start at $3,500 per city with printing and installation included. A coordinated run across two or more California metros prices up from that floor based on wall count, neighborhood spread, and window. Multi-city tours start at $25,000. Every price is a published floor rather than an RFP gate, and a line-item quote returns in 24 to 48 hours with the photo-proof bundle included.

Palantir ran a wheatpaste campaign with us in San Diego. Sézane and Lone Fox ran Los Angeles. Frameline ran San Francisco for its film festival, and Relevance AI ran SF for a product launch. Stripe ran an interior install program in San Francisco. Every one of those campaigns closed with a GPS-stamped photo of each placement, which is what the gallery on this page is drawn from.

Five to seven days from approved creative to first wall in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the same window in San Diego and San Jose on standard scope. We print in-house rather than brokering it out, so the production cycle stays tight. Multi-metro California programs add a day or two of wall sourcing. Expedited runs are available at a rush premium when a launch date will not move.

Yes. Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and San Jose are our anchor markets with standing wall relationships, and we ship crews to other California cities including Sacramento, Oakland, Long Beach, and Palm Springs on a quoted basis. Same crew network, same chain of custody, same documentation standard. Send the city with your brief and the quote comes back with a permit and travel breakdown.

Scale and spread. California is not one market, it is four metros separated by hundreds of miles, each with a different buyer. A statewide California campaign is really a coordinated multi-city program, which is why we run it off a single West Coast crew rotation instead of hiring four local vendors with four different documentation standards. The car-heavy layout also means placement matters more here than in a dense walking city: walls are sited on the corridors where people actually walk, not just where inventory happens to be available.
