Painters in Vancouver, BC

Vancouver neighbourhoods each have their own character, and we paint in all of them. Kitsilano and Dunbar hold heritage homes with original woodwork and plaster. Mount Pleasant and Commercial Drive have character houses, duplexes, and laneway houses tucked behind them. Kerrisdale and Shaughnessy have stately family homes where crisp lines and clean finishes matter. Marpole and Riley Park mix older homes with new infill. Exceptional Painting has completed hundreds of projects across the city since 2012, on time and guaranteed in writing.

The rain is the other thing every Vancouver painter has to respect. Months of wet weather, moss on shaded walls, and wood trim that stays damp for half the year. A paint job that lasts here is built on prep.

Heritage Character Homes, Laneway Houses, and New Condos

In Kitsilano and Dunbar we refresh heritage homes with careful prep that respects original woodwork and plaster. These houses were built with craftsmanship, and they reward a painter who slows down: scraping and sanding failing paint, repairing damaged wood, filling cracks, and priming bare surfaces before the finish coat. Colours are chosen to suit the house and the street.

In Mount Pleasant and along Commercial Drive we paint character houses, duplexes, and the laneway houses tucked behind them. Laneway homes are small and every surface is seen up close, so clean lines and even coverage matter more than ever. In Kerrisdale and Shaughnessy we handle stately family homes where the finish has to match the quality of the house. And across the city, condo owners call us for unit interiors, from single rooms to full repaints before a move in.

Painting for Vancouver Rain and Coastal Weather

Our exterior systems are specified for the Pacific Northwest: proper prep, moisture resistant primers, and premium paints that stand up to months of rain. Exterior painting in Vancouver starts with a proper wash, and moss and mildew are treated at the source rather than painted over. 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 premium coating made for this climate. Stucco, wood siding, HardiePlank, and brick each need different prep, and we treat them differently. Stucco is checked for cracks and sealed. Wood is scraped, sanded, and primed. Brick is cleaned and painted only with coatings that let the wall breathe. Decks and fences get stained so water beads instead of soaking in.

Interior Painting Across Vancouver

Interior painting is the largest share of our Vancouver work: full homes, single rooms, condos, kitchens and cabinets. Cabinet painting is popular in the older homes of East Vancouver and Kitsilano, where a sprayed finish gives a kitchen a new look without a renovation. Popcorn ceiling removal is common in the postwar homes of Dunbar and Marpole, and we handle the full job, including asbestos safe sealing where the ceiling needs it, through to a smooth new finish.

Our crew protects floors and furniture, works room by room so your house stays livable, and leaves each space tidy at the end of the day. Low VOC paint keeps the smell down, which matters in a condo or a laneway house where the space is small. Strata painting for townhouse and condo complexes is available too, from common area refreshes to full repaints.
