Painters in Vancouver
Vancouver's housing stock covers a century of building styles on the same street: Edwardian and Craftsman character homes, 1970s Vancouver Specials, laneway houses, and concrete and wood-frame condo buildings. Each one takes paint differently, and each one needs a different prep plan.
The Other Guys Painting Co has worked across the city since 2012. We handle single rooms, full repaints, smooth ceilings in older homes, and common area and exterior work for strata buildings, with fixed start and completion dates so you know when your place is yours again.

PAINTING IN VANCOUVER: WHAT TO KNOW
Vancouver's long wet season limits the exterior window, so siding and trim work is best booked for late spring through early fall, when wood can dry out properly before primer goes on. Older character homes often have multiple layers of oil-based paint and textured or stippled ceilings that need careful prep, and pre-1990 homes may have lead in older paint layers, which changes how we sand and clean up. In condo buildings, strata bylaws usually set working hours, elevator bookings, and approved exterior colours, so we confirm those with your property manager before we start.
