Our Story
A reliable and passionate team of professionals that strive to meet your expectations and tend to your every need
Providing homeowners in Vancouver and surrounding areas with quality painting and custom carpentry services since 1992
Meet Eric
Hi, I’m Eric Goodwill, founder and owner of Renaissance Solutions Painting & Carpentry. After 34 years of experience in the painting business, I realize our industry is competitive and I appreciate this opportunity to earn your business.
When homeowners like you want to get their home painted, there are usually a lot of common headaches and frustrations that come with the project. We're here to help make the process a pleasant one for you. We’ve learned what needs to be done to eliminate many of these common inconveniences and guide you through an experience that leaves you relaxed AND gives you your dream home at the same time.
On top of having the security that you are in capable and experienced hands when choosing us, you also get a team of talented and passionate individuals that work on your home like it was ours.
Our Mission
We paint homes of different sizes and styles, ranging from 1912 heritage houses up to modern ones, and most of our work comes from clients that tell their friends about us.
We’re not your average contractors. Restoring older home exteriors and interiors with superior carpentry work before repainting them would scare many of our competitors away. That's because it's not as straightforward as painting a newer space. In fact, it's such a unique service bundle that we offer, that makes us stand out in our field.
Since 1992, we've channelled every effort into painting homes the right way. Over the years, we’ve built a reputation of being a trusted and reliable company that offers quality work to our clients.
What we do is more than just a job for us. We cherish the opportunity to make a difference and help you create spaces you love in your home.
The Proof Of Happy Customers
To help you make an informed decision on whether we're the right team or not to help you achieve the vision you have, here are our reviews from our past clients.
It is not very often you find a skilled painter with a deep understanding about the lingering issues that may exist with a home.
Eric goes above and beyond my providing detailed quotes and recommendations on how to make your house shine through his restoration services.

Credentials & Training
Painting is not a regulated trade in British Columbia. Anyone can print a business card. These are the qualifications we actually hold, and what each one means.
Interprovincial trade qualification
Red Seal Certificate of Qualification Painter and Decorator
Held by Eric James Goodwill, owner · Certificate No. 00517-PD-09 · Red Seal endorsement K-15-063788 · issued 15 April 2009
The Red Seal is the national standard for skilled trades in Canada. Earning the endorsement means passing the interprovincial exam in the Painter and Decorator trade, and it is recognised in every province and territory without retesting.
It is worth knowing what this is not: it is not a licence, because painting does not require one here. It is a qualification most painting contractors in Vancouver do not have, because nothing compels them to get it.
Do not take our word for it — verify this certificate with SkilledTradesBC.
Site safety tickets
Current certifications carried by our crews. Exterior work in the Lower Mainland means ladders, scaffold, and occasionally wildlife.
- Fall Protection Required for work at height. Most of our exterior work qualifies.
- Ladder and Scaffold Safety Erection, inspection and safe use of access equipment.
- General Workplace Safety Site orientation, hazard assessment and incident reporting.
- Hazardous Material Handling Safe handling, storage and disposal of coatings, solvents and strippers.
- Lead-Safe Work Practices Containment, dust extraction and HEPA cleanup on older housing stock.
- Bear Awareness For exterior work in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam and Maple Ridge.
Additional training
The Stone and Tile School
Essential Marble and Stone Restoration
Stone and masonry sit next to the painted surfaces on most of the houses we work on: thresholds, hearths, entry steps, sills. Knowing how those surfaces behave changes how we mask, prep and protect them.
Standards we specify to
Every quote we issue names the standard the work will be prepared and applied to. These are not credentials we hold, they are the published specifications we write into the contract so there is an objective test for whether the job was done properly.
- MPI Repainting Manual — Master Painters Institute
- Craftsmanship Operating Procedures (COPS) — Craftsmanship Forum of the PDCA
- Manufacturer specifications — which supersede the above where they conflict
