Painters in Burnaby, BC

Exceptional Painting is based right here in Burnaby, at 9888 Cameron St, and our crews have been painting homes and businesses across this city since 2012. That matters more than it sounds. A painter who works in Burnaby every week knows which streets get the worst of the rain, which condos need elevator bookings, and how fast moss comes back on a shaded north wall.

Burnaby is not one kind of home. There are tower condos around Metrotown and Brentwood, townhouse rows in Edmonds, detached family houses in Capitol Hill and Forest Glen, and character homes along the streets of Burnaby Heights. Each one asks for a different approach, and a paint job that suits a new condo will not suit a hundred year old house with cedar siding. Our estimates are written for the house in front of us, not copied from the last job.

Character Homes in Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill

Much of Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill is lined with houses built in the early 1900s, and they were built with real craftsmanship. Old growth fir trim, cedar siding, covered porches, windows that were made to be repaired rather than replaced. After decades of sun and rain, that wood usually needs more than a quick coat of paint.

Our crew scrapes failing paint right back, sands the edges smooth, and spot primes every patch of bare wood before any finish goes on. Inside, plaster walls and original trim get the same patient treatment, with cracks filled and surfaces sanded flat so the new paint sits properly. Colours are chosen to suit the street, not fight it. A house like this rewards slow prep, and the difference lasts for years.

Condos and Townhouses Around Metrotown and Brentwood

A large share of our Burnaby work is in condos and strata buildings, from Metrotown towers to the newer buildings rising around Brentwood Town Centre. Interior painting in a condo is a different job from painting a detached house. Hallways and elevators need protection, work has to fit strata hours, and neighbours live on the other side of every wall.

We paint unit interiors between tenancies, refresh common areas and lobbies, and handle full strata painting repaints with a schedule the council can actually follow. Low VOC paint keeps the smell down for residents, floors are covered before a can is opened, and the crew leaves each day with the building tidy. If you manage a Burnaby strata, ask us about a phased plan that spreads the work across the year.

Burnaby Rain and What It Does to Exterior Paint

Burnaby gets steady rain for much of the year, and the city has no shortage of big trees. That combination is hard on exterior painting. Moss grows on shaded walls and roofs, wood trim stays damp, and paint peels first on the sides of the house that never see the sun.

Before we paint an exterior here, we wash the surface properly and treat moss and mildew at the source. Bare wood is primed, gaps are caulked, and the finish coat goes on only when the surface is dry enough to hold it. We use Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint, a coating made for this climate, and we watch the forecast rather than painting into a wet week. Decks get the same care, with boards cleaned, sanded where needed, and stained so water beads instead of soaking in.
