Exterior house Painting in Vancouver
Safeguard your home against the wet coastal climate and make it a joy to look at - with exterior painting built to last.
Exterior Repainting, By The Numbers
You're busy. Here is what actually matters, from our own job records - not marketing copy.
What your crew actually does
- Pressure wash; TSP-and-bleach wash with a soft brush, clean-water rinse; plants protected (MPI RSP-13).
- Scrape all failed paint, scuff-sand edges; 120-grit on trim; re-set loose nails, prime, fill, sand.
- Carpenters repair rot before any paint goes on - epoxy on sills and knees, board replacement where needed.
- Prime all bare wood; every sprayed coat back-rolled and back-brushed for penetration.
- Caulk with DAP 230 after priming - not before, where it seals nothing.
- Spot coat on bare wood plus full finish coat (Full Service), brushed and rolled. Daily cleanup.
The cost of waiting a season
Failed paint is not cosmetic - it is your siding's only raincoat. One more wet Vancouver winter turns a $500 board repair into structural rot behind the wall: we've rebuilt sills, knees, and whole staircases that started as "a bit of peeling." The gap between our typical repaint ($19,900) and a repaint with major rot repair (up to $60,000+) is usually two or three postponed years.
What we'll tell you up front
- Estimates are based on what is visible. Hidden damage - rot behind siding, insect damage, old framing mistakes - is priced separately when we open things up.
- Horizontal surfaces (steps, decks, railings) are excluded from the standard warranty: water sits on them and no coating manufacturer covers that.
- On older homes we are minimizing blemishes, not erasing them. Some character will remain visible.
- Weather moves exterior schedules. Prep continues in light rain; finish coats do not.
These lines come straight from our written estimates. Contractors who don't say them up front bill you for them later.
Say Goodbye To Peeling Paint
Your home is one of your most valuable assets, and it deserves to be protected year-round. Because Vancouver’s wet climate is harsh on exterior surfaces, keeping your home in good condition can be challenging. That’s why a high-quality exterior painting job matters so much - it gives your home long-term protection while keeping it looking fresh.
In addition, we always look for signs of damage or rotten wood before any painting begins. Instead of covering those issues with paint, we repair them properly so the surface is strong and ready for the finishing coats.
As a result, your home becomes more durable, easier to maintain, and noticeably more attractive. You get a beautiful exterior that holds up to the elements and stands out for all the right reasons.
