Painters in Coquitlam, BC

Coquitlam has one of the most varied housing mixes in Metro Vancouver, and our crews paint across all of it. One week it is a detached house going up on Burke Mountain, the next a townhouse complex near Coquitlam Centre, then an older home with wood siding in Maillardville. Exceptional Painting has been doing this work since 2012, and the variety is part of why we like working here.

The city keeps growing, especially on Burke Mountain and around the Town Centre, but the older neighbourhoods have not gone anywhere. A good paint job in Coquitlam starts by reading the house: its age, its siding, how much sun and rain it takes, and how the owners actually live in it.

Older Homes in Maillardville and New Builds on Burke Mountain

Maillardville still holds some of the most charming older homes in the Tri Cities, many with original wood siding and trim that reward careful prep and the right primer. These houses were built when wood was wood, and they need a painter who will scrape and sand properly instead of painting over trouble. We take the time, because paint laid over loose old paint will peel within a year.

Up on Burke Mountain and near Coquitlam Centre, the story is different. Newer detached homes and townhouse developments bring crisp modern finishes, tall entry walls, and open plan interiors with a lot of wall space. Builder paint is often thin and flat, so a proper repaint with quality paint makes a visible difference. We match colours carefully for touch ups and lay down smooth, even coats that suit the clean look of a new home.

Townhouse Complexes Across Coquitlam

Townhouse complexes are a big part of life in Coquitlam, from Westwood Plateau to Eagle Ridge and the neighbourhoods around Mundy Park. Strata councils call us for full complex repaints, common area refreshes, and unit interiors between tenancies. Strata painting is its own discipline, and we treat it that way.

Colour approvals, resident notices, parking, landscaping, pets, kids playing outside: all of it has to be planned before the first ladder goes up. Our crew works clean around parked cars and gardens, keeps residents informed, and runs the project from the first pressure wash to the final walkthrough. If your council is budgeting for a repaint, we can walk the complex with you and put a clear written scope together.

Rain, Trees, and Moisture on Coquitlam Exteriors

Coquitlam sits against the mountains, and it rains here. A lot. Add the tall trees that shade so many lots, and you get the perfect conditions for moss, mildew, and paint that peels on the damp side of the house. Exterior painting in this city is mostly a prep job with painting at the end.

We wash every surface, treat moss and mildew, scrape and sand failing paint, and prime bare wood before the finish coat. The paint we use is Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint, chosen because it holds up in a wet coastal climate. Decks and fences get the same treatment, since cedar in Coquitlam turns grey fast if it is left unprotected. Inside, the same damp climate is why we pay attention to bathrooms and basements, where good prep and the right finish keep paint looking fresh longer.

Interior Painting for Coquitlam Homes

Most of our Coquitlam calls are for interior painting: whole homes before a move in, single rooms, kitchens and cabinets, and ceilings that have seen better days. Popcorn ceiling removal is common in the older homes around Maillardville and Austin Heights, and we handle the full job, from removal to a smooth new finish.

Every interior job starts with protection. Floors are covered, furniture is moved and wrapped, and the crew works room by room so your house stays livable while we paint it. All work is backed by a 3 year workmanship warranty, $5M liability insurance, and WCB coverage.
