VANCOUVER BC’S PREMIER RESIDENTIAL PAINTING COMPANY
VANCOUVER BC’S PREMIER RESIDENTIAL PAINTING COMPANY
If your West Vancouver home is starting to look worn, faded, or simply out of step with how you actually live in it, we can help. We paint and stain homes throughout the district, from waterfront properties in Dundarave to the forested lots above the Upper Levels Highway, and we bring the same standard of care to every one of them: careful preparation, a clean job site, and a finish that holds up against the coast.
We serve homeowners across West Vancouver, including in the following neighbourhoods:
If you don’t see your neighbourhood listed, reach out anyway. We paint throughout West Vancouver and the surrounding North Shore.

A tired colour scheme or scuffed trim can make an otherwise beautiful home feel dated, and it’s often the fastest change you can make to a room. Our team handles full interior repaints, single rooms, trim and millwork, and everything in between, working room by room so the rest of your home stays livable while we’re there.
Before any paint goes on, we prepare the surface properly: washing, scuff sanding, caulking gaps, and priming any bare wood or patched drywall. That preparation is what separates a finish that looks good on day one from one that still looks good in five years. We mask and cover as we go, clean up daily, and leave each space as tidy as we found it. If you’re weighing colours, we’d be happy to walk you through options that suit your home’s light and layout.
West Vancouver’s exterior surfaces work harder than most. Homes here sit close to the water and under heavy tree cover, which means paint and stain deal with salt-laden air, prolonged damp, and long stretches of shade that keep surfaces from drying out between rains. We see the results in blistering, premature fading, and mildew on siding that was painted without the coastal conditions in mind.
We paint every common West Van exterior: stucco, cedar shingle and lap siding, fibre cement, and mixed-material facades where trim, soffits, and siding all call for a different approach. Stucco in particular needs a coating that can flex through the freeze-thaw cycle and bridge the hairline cracking that’s common on older homes, and we choose products accordingly rather than defaulting to whatever’s easiest to apply. On wood siding, we address moisture and mildew at the surface before painting, not after, so the new coat isn’t sealing in a problem.
As one of the painters recognized by the Vancouver Heritage Foundation, we also bring that same attention to detail to homes where getting the colour and finish right matters for more than curb appeal.
West Vancouver has one of the North Shore’s richest collections of character architecture, from West Coast Modern homes built through the 1950s and 60s to older character homes scattered through Dundarave, Ambleside, and the Caulfeild area. Lower Caulfeild in particular is a designated heritage conservation area, where exterior colour and finish changes are reviewed to keep a building in keeping with its original period and style.
We’re recognized by the Vancouver Heritage Foundation as a painting contractor approved for heritage work, which means we understand how to select and apply colour on a character or heritage home the way it should be done: respecting the original palette and materials rather than treating it like any other repaint. If your property falls within a heritage conservation area or carries municipal heritage designation, we’ll work alongside whatever approval process applies to your home, so the finished result is both accurate to the building and fully compliant.
This experience extends beyond formally designated properties. Many West Vancouver homes built in the Craftsman, Tudor Revival, Arts and Crafts, or Spanish Colonial Revival styles benefit from the same careful colour selection and surface preparation, even without a formal heritage listing. If you own one of these homes and aren’t sure what your property calls for, we’re happy to talk through it during your estimate.
Cedar decks, fences, and siding are everywhere in West Vancouver, and the same coastal moisture that challenges paint is even harder on exposed wood. Stain that looked fresh a couple of seasons ago can grey out, crack, or start absorbing water once its protective layer breaks down, particularly on decks that get direct rain and sun exposure or siding on the shaded, damp side of a lot.
We stain decks, fences, siding, and trim in both solid and semi-transparent finishes, matched to how much of the wood grain you want visible and how much protection the surface needs. Before staining, we clean and prep the wood properly, since stain applied over dirt, mildew, or old failing product never holds the way it should. Whether it’s a small deck refresh or full exterior wood staining across a larger property, we scope the work to what your home actually needs.
If you’re ready to move forward on a painting or staining project in West Vancouver, whether it’s a heritage exterior, a full interior repaint, or a deck that needs attention before the next wet season, we’re happy to take a look. We’ll walk the property with you, talk through your goals, and put together a straightforward, no-obligation quote.
Yes. We’re recognized by the Vancouver Heritage Foundation for heritage-appropriate painting work, and we’re familiar with how colour and finish decisions get reviewed in West Vancouver’s heritage conservation areas.
Stucco needs a coating that can flex through temperature swings and bridge small cracks rather than trapping moisture behind a rigid film. We select the product based on the condition of your stucco, not a one-size-fits-all default.
It depends on sun and rain exposure, but shaded, damp-prone surfaces typically need attention sooner than sheltered, south-facing ones. We can tell you what your specific property needs during an estimate rather than guessing at a general schedule.
We do. Homes closer to the water deal with more salt in the air, which affects how paint adheres and how long a finish lasts, so we adjust surface preparation and product selection accordingly.
Yes. We take the time to identify a colour and finish that’s appropriate to the home’s period and style rather than applying a generic modern palette to an older property.
Most homes don’t require a permit for a standard repaint, but municipally designated heritage properties and homes in heritage conservation areas like Lower Caulfeild do require approval for exterior colour changes. We’re happy to talk through what applies to your specific property.
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for interior and exterior painting, staining, and heritage projects throughout West Vancouver.
