Fewer Surprises.
Better Results.

Commercial property owners and managers keep calling us back because we show up on schedule, don't pile on change orders, and leave the site cleaner than we found it.

Scheduling That Fits Your Operations

After-hours, weekends, phased access — we plan around your business, not the other way around. Occupied buildings are standard for us.

Spec'd for BC Weather

We select coatings built for the Lower Mainland's wet climate. Elastomeric, acrylic, and waterborne systems that hold up through freeze-thaw and heavy rain seasons.

Written Scope, No Hidden Extras

Every project starts with a detailed written scope. You see exactly what prep is included, what coatings we're using, and what the schedule looks like before a drop goes on.

WorkSafeBC Compliant

Our crew is Working at Heights certified and WCB covered. We run compliant job sites on every project — no shortcuts, no liability surprises for your property.

Direct Crew, Not a Sub Network

The people we quote are the people who show up. We don't broker out your project. You get consistent quality because it's the same crew from start to final walk.

Strata & Property Manager Ready

We're familiar with strata council approval processes, phased project documentation, and what property managers need to keep owners and tenants informed.

How a Project Runs

Three phases. No surprises. You know exactly what's happening at every stage.

Site Walkthrough & Written Scope

We walk the property with you, assess substrate conditions, identify any prep issues (failing caulk, cracks, biological growth, delaminating existing coating), and give you a detailed written scope — not just a number on a napkin.

Surface Prep & Prime

This is where we spend most of our time and where most jobs fail when it's skipped. Pressure washing, sanding, caulking, patching, and priming every surface to manufacturer spec before any finish coat goes on.

Production Painting & Quality Walk

Airless spray, roller, or brush depending on the surface and spec. We maintain consistent wet-film thickness, work in the correct temperature and humidity conditions, and do a final quality walk with you before we leave.

Where We Work

We operate across Metro Vancouver from our Burnaby base. Whether your building is in downtown Vancouver, a Coquitlam business park, or a New Westminster heritage block, we're a local call. Swing stage and rope access work takes us further — Surrey towers, Richmond commercial parks, and North Shore strata buildings are all in regular rotation.

Three of our most active markets beyond Burnaby are Vancouver, Coquitlam, and New Westminster. If your project is in the Lower Mainland, we want to quote it.

Where We Work

The Full Range

From a single-floor tenant improvement to a 40-storey swing stage program — commercial painting covers a lot of ground. Here's where we operate.

Strata & HOA Exterior Programs

Full phased exterior painting programs for strata corporations in Burnaby, Coquitlam, and New Westminster. We provide colour samples for strata council review, written phased schedules by building section, and progress documentation for owners. Prep includes full pressure washing, crack injection where needed, elastomeric waterproof primer, and two finish coats of 100% acrylic. Common substrates: EIFS, stucco, concrete, fibre cement, wood siding.

Warehouse & Distribution Centre Interiors

High-production interior painting for warehouses from 10,000 to 500,000+ sq ft. We use commercial-grade airless spray equipment that covers large square footage efficiently without the cost of brush-and-roll rates. Typical scope: epoxy or anti-fungal concrete block seal on lower walls, semi-gloss epoxy alkyd mid-wall, and reflective white ceiling finish to improve warehouse lighting. We work in active warehouses with phased access by aisle or zone.

Retail Storefront & Tenant Improvements

Paint scopes that run alongside tenant improvement projects — we coordinate with GCs, electricians, and flooring contractors to hit your possession date. Work includes colour-accurate brand matching, feature walls, exposed concrete sealing, display case surrounds, and exterior signage band painting. We've matched Pantone, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and custom colour systems for national retail brands.

Parkade & Concrete Structure Painting

Parkade painting is a specialized scope that most commercial painters avoid. We handle it as a core service: traffic-deck coatings, concrete wall sealers, pipe and structural steel marking, fire safety striping, and directional signage painting. All products are selected for vehicular traffic, moisture, and exhaust exposure. We can price per-stall, per-level, or as a full turnkey program.

High-Rise Tower Exteriors

Swing stage work, rope access, and boom lift operations for residential towers and commercial high-rises. Our crew holds current Working at Heights certification and swing stage operator tickets. Typical scope on a concrete high-rise: pressure washing, carbon stain removal, crack routing and polyurethane sealant, elastomeric primer, and two-coat elastomeric finish. We document as-found conditions at the start and provide a photo report on completion.

Industrial Facility Coatings

Manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, and heavy industrial buildings require coatings that hold up to chemical exposure, washdown cycles, and forklift traffic. We apply epoxy floor systems, epoxy-amine wall coatings, Dex-O-Tex traffic membranes, and intumescent fire-retardant topcoats. All products are specified to the substrate, the chemical exposure profile, and the cleaning cycle — not just whatever we happen to stock.

Heritage & Designated Building Restoration

Heritage-designated properties in Burnaby, New Westminster, and Vancouver require a different approach: compatible surface prep that doesn't damage original materials, historically appropriate colour selection, and formulations that breathe with older substrates. We've worked on Victorian-era wood buildings, Craftsman commercial blocks, and mid-century concrete structures. We can coordinate with heritage consultants and provide documentation for municipal approval.

Office & Professional Space Repaints

Office tenants and landlords call us for clean, efficient repaints that don't shut the building down. We work after hours or on weekends, phase the project by floor or wing, and use zero-VOC formulations so staff can return the same day. We also handle feature walls, branded accent colours, glass partition surrounds, and lobby refreshes. No building is too small — we'll quote a single-tenant unit or a full 20-storey tower.

How We
Actually Paint

Coating selection and surface prep are where most commercial paint jobs fail or succeed. Here's what we do and why.

Surface preparation is at least 60% of a commercial paint job's lifespan. Before any coating goes on, we pressure-wash all exterior surfaces at minimum 3,000 PSI to remove chalk, biological growth, salt deposits, and surface contamination. On concrete and masonry, we follow up with a pH-neutralizing rinse where old alkali bleed is present. Failing caulk at window perimeters, expansion joints, and penetrations is removed entirely and replaced with commercial-grade polyurethane or silicone sealant — never caulk painted over old caulk, which is one of the leading causes of premature coating failure on BC buildings.

For commercial exteriors in Metro Vancouver's climate, we spec 100% acrylic elastomeric coatings on stucco and EIFS. Elastomeric formulations from Benjamin Moore's MoorElastic line, Sherwin-Williams' Loxon Elastomeric, and ICI Dulux commercial grades stretch with the substrate through thermal cycling, bridge hairline cracks, and provide a Class A breathable waterproof membrane. On smooth concrete tilt-up and concrete block, we use a penetrating masonry sealer or epoxy block-fill primer before applying a finish system rated for the exposure. Metal substrates — steel framing, aluminum cladding, hollow metal doors and frames — get a DTM (direct-to-metal) alkyd or waterborne epoxy primer before any topcoat, because skip-priming metal in a coastal climate is how you get rust bleed-through in 18 months.

Interior commercial coatings are selected by substrate, traffic exposure, and air quality requirements. Occupied office spaces get zero-VOC or ultra-low-VOC waterborne formulations — typically Benjamin Moore Natura, Sherwin-Williams Harmony, or equivalent — that meet LEED v4 EQ Credit thresholds and GREENGUARD Gold certification. High-traffic corridors, stairwells, and washrooms get semi-gloss or gloss sheen levels for scrub resistance, applied at the correct dry-film thickness specified by the manufacturer. Warehouse walls and concrete floors get industrial epoxy systems: typically a two-part 100% solids epoxy with broadcast anti-slip aggregate in wet or high-traffic zones, or a water-based epoxy-amine for occupied spaces that can't be taken offline for extended cure times.

We use commercial Graco and Titan airless spray equipment for large-area applications, which delivers consistent mil thickness and covers commercial square footage at a fraction of the time brush-and-roll takes — without sacrificing finish quality on smooth surfaces. Texture matching on stucco and EIFS repairs is done with matching aggregate and density, not just paint. We document mil readings on industrial coatings projects and can provide third-party inspection coordination on projects that require it.

All job sites are run in compliance with WorkSafeBC Part 4 (General Hazard) and Part 26 (Diving, Blasting, and Painting) regulations. Spray operations in enclosed areas use supplied-air respirators or approved half-mask respirators with organic vapour/P100 cartridges, and we monitor and control overspray with appropriate masking, sheeting, and containment. Our crew holds current Working at Heights certification for all elevated work — swing stage, boom lift, and rope access operations require additional ticketing that our team carries.

Common Questions

Straight answers to what property owners and managers ask most.

How much does commercial painting cost in Burnaby?
Commercial painting in Burnaby typically runs from $1.50 to $4.50 per square foot for interiors, and $3 to $8 per square foot for exteriors, depending on surface condition, coating spec, and access requirements. A detailed written quote after a site visit is the only reliable number — call us and we'll schedule one.
How long does a commercial painting project take?
A single-floor office repaint might take two to three days. A mid-rise strata exterior runs two to four weeks. A warehouse interior is often done in phases over a week or two. We give you a project schedule before work starts so you can plan around it.
What is the difference between commercial and residential painting?
Commercial painting involves larger scale, industrial-grade coatings, specialized equipment like airless sprayers and swing stages, scheduling around active businesses, and WorkSafeBC compliance requirements. The substrate types, coating systems, and project coordination are all different from residential work.
How do I find a reputable commercial painter in Burnaby?
Look for a contractor who is licensed, carries commercial general liability insurance, and has WCB coverage for all workers. Ask for a detailed written scope before signing anything — vague quotes lead to change orders. We provide all of the above and you can request certificates of insurance.
How often does a commercial building need to be repainted?
Most commercial exteriors in BC need repainting every five to ten years, depending on coating quality, substrate, and weather exposure. Interiors vary widely — high-traffic areas like lobbies and stairwells every three to five years, low-traffic offices closer to eight to ten. Signs it is time: chalking, peeling at joints, fading, or failed caulk.
Do commercial painters work after hours or on weekends?
We do. After-hours and weekend scheduling is standard for occupied commercial properties. We coordinate with your operations or property management team to keep disruption to a minimum — shift changes, tenant moves, and strata council schedules are all things we plan around.
What type of paint is best for commercial exteriors in BC?
For BC's wet climate, 100% acrylic elastomeric and premium exterior latex formulations are the right choice. Elastomeric coatings flex through freeze-thaw cycles and bridge hairline cracks. Product selection depends on substrate — stucco, wood, concrete, and metal each need a different system.
What does surface prep involve on a commercial painting job?
Proper prep includes pressure washing, scraping and sanding loose coating, caulking at joints and penetrations, patching cracks, and priming before any finish coat goes on. This is where most paint jobs fail when it gets skipped. We include full prep in every scope.
Do you paint strata buildings and deal with strata councils?
Yes. Strata and multi-family work is a large part of what we do. We provide colour samples for council review, written phased schedules, per-building progress documentation, and certificates of insurance in the format most strata corporations require.
Can commercial painters match our exact brand colours?
Yes. We use spectrophotometer matching to hit any Pantone, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, or custom brand colour spec. Retail tenants and franchisees with strict brand standards are a regular part of our work.
Are your painters certified for working at heights and swing stage work?
Yes. Our crew holds current Working at Heights certification and swing stage operator tickets for the crew members who use them. We are equipped for swing stage, boom lift, and rope access work on high-rise and multi-storey commercial buildings.
Do you do epoxy floor coatings for warehouses and industrial facilities?
Yes. We apply two- and three-part epoxy systems for warehouse floors, manufacturing facilities, and parkades. Options include anti-slip aggregate broadcast, high-gloss, and chemical-resistant formulations depending on the facility's traffic and exposure requirements.
