Local context
Dunbar homes tend to be detached, with mature landscaping, older exteriors, renovated interiors, decks, and fences that all need planning around. The job starts with the surface, not the colour. We look for failed caulking, loose paint, staining, access constraints, and the areas that need repair before a coating can go on.
Many Dunbar properties have been repainted more than once. New paint depends on the stability of what is underneath it, so we inspect adhesion, peeling edges, bare areas, and prior repairs before deciding what surface work belongs in the project. A shaded elevation can hold moisture longer than the rest of the home. Wood trim, railings, decks, and fences can weather differently from the siding beside them.
Mature gardens and trees are part of the practical plan. Shrubs can sit close to siding, and access routes may be tight. We discuss how to protect surrounding surfaces and landscaping without trapping moisture against freshly coated areas. For interior painting, we can also sequence rooms around residents, furniture, ventilation, and daily access.
The project plan should make clear what is included and what needs a conversation if the condition is different from what was visible at the visit. That gives you a useful basis for comparing a painting quote, rather than comparing one total number without knowing what it covers.
From stucco exteriors in Southlands to careful interior updates in Dunbar homes, here is the range of painting services we provide in the neighbourhood.
Walls, ceilings, trim, and doors painted clean and precise across Dunbar homes. We protect everything, prep every surface, and work around your schedule.
Dunbar’s rain is hard on exterior paint that wasn’t applied correctly. We pressure wash, scrape, caulk, prime, and apply two full coats on stucco, wood siding, trim, fascia, and soffits.
New kitchen cabinets in Dunbar can cost $15,000–$25,000. Painted cabinets with a proper enamel finish look just as good for a fraction of that.
Dunbar homes with flat or textured ceilings show age faster than most homeowners notice. We clean, prime, and paint ceilings that look bright again.

Dunbar mixes older character houses, stucco homes and newer rebuilds near Pacific Spirit Park. We plan each one differently.
No subcontractors, no third-party labour. The crew that quotes your Dunbar project is the crew that paints it.
We walk your home properly before quoting. No vague line items, no "unexpected prep" added after the fact.
Full general liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage on every Dunbar project. Proof available before we start.
Every project ends with a final walkthrough. You point out anything that needs touching up, we handle it before we leave.
Standard latex sits on top of stucco. Elastomeric coating bonds and flexes with it. It is the right product for stucco homes.
Character homes often have oil-based paint underneath. We test adhesion so we know what we’re working with before we quote.
