"We know west-side weather!"
Point Grey sits on English Bay, between Kitsilano and the University of British Columbia. Most exteriors here deal with wind-driven rain off the water, tall trees and walls that stay damp in the shade. Good results come from timing and prep more than from the paint can, so we check moisture, failed caulking and peeling edges before we price the job.
The housing mix shapes the work too. City of Vancouver data shows detached houses are the most common home type in West Point Grey, followed by duplex units and low-rise apartments, and the City notes the area keeps most of its original homes. That means wood siding, cedar shingles and trim with many old coats, next to newer infill houses.
Layers of old paint, soft spots in trim and possible oil-based coats underneath. We test adhesion and repair before priming.
Two owners, basement suites and tenants. We agree access, colours and dates with everyone who lives there.
Elevations that take the weather first get a closer look at the quote stage and extra prep where needed.
Four core services for Point Grey houses, duplexes and suites, plus specialty work. Every quote lists the surfaces, repairs and coating system in writing.
Whole-house repaints in lived-in homes and refreshes between tenants in rental suites. Rooms are protected and finished in a planned order.
Wood siding, cedar shingles, stucco and trim that face English Bay weather. We wash, scrape, repair and spot-prime, then apply two coats once the surface tests dry.
Painting the cabinets you already have is a lower-cost way to update an older kitchen. New kitchen cabinets in Vancouver can cost $15,000–$25,000.
Older houses often have plaster or textured ceilings with old water stains. We spot-prime stains, repair cracks and roll an even finish.
A mix of our interior and exterior work around Vancouver. The photos show the prep and finish standard we bring to every Point Grey job.
Point Grey has everything from wood-sided originals to new infill. We quote each home on its own surfaces and weather exposure.
Surfaces, repairs, primer and top coat are listed, so you can compare quotes line by line.

Insured, with WorkSafeBC coverage on every Point Grey project.
We walk the job together and handle touch-ups before we pack up.
Access, parking and quiet hours are agreed with every occupant before we start.
Older homes often have oil-based paint under newer coats. We test adhesion so the new finish bonds.

About
I started Coastal Painters to bring trust back into home services: clean work, honest pricing and respectful crews. On the west side that means paying attention to the weather and the age of the house, not just the colour on the wall. Let’s make your place next.

Point Grey painting prices
Most of the cost on a Point Grey exterior is prep: washing, scraping, wood repair and waiting for dry weather. These are the ranges we start from.
Exterior repainting
Wood siding and shingle homes that need heavy scraping and spot-priming sit higher in the range than sound stucco.
Interior & specialty
From the first visit to the final walkthrough, this is the order we work in on Point Grey houses, duplexes and suites.
We walk every surface, check damp areas and note repairs, then send you a written quote.
Exterior dates are set for dry spells. For duplexes and suites we confirm access with everyone living there.
Mildew is cleaned off, loose paint is scraped, failed caulking is replaced and bare wood is primed.
Clean cut lines on trim and siding, with even coverage on every elevation.
We check the work with you and finish touch-ups on the spot.

A detached exterior repaint usually starts in our $3,500-$8,500 range. Wood siding with heavy scraping or repairs sits at the higher end. Interior rooms usually run $400-$900.
Late spring to early fall, when walls can dry fully between rain. Shaded or north-facing walls under big trees may need extra drying days, so we confirm moisture before we start.
If the cedar has only ever been stained, re-staining keeps the grain and is simpler to maintain. Once cedar is painted, going back is hard. We look at the current finish before recommending either.
Yes. We plan the schedule and access with both owners or all occupants, and can paint a suite between tenants.
Some Point Grey buildings are listed on the Vancouver Heritage Register. If yours is a listed or protected heritage property, check with the City of Vancouver before changing exterior colours.
Yes. See our Kitsilano painters and Dunbar painters pages. For heritage homes in the First Shaughnessy conservation area, see our Shaughnessy house painting guide.
