Strata Painters in Squamish, Whistler & the North Shore
We paint condo and townhouse complexes across Squamish, Whistler, North Vancouver and West Vancouver for strata councils and property managers, from Whistler's townhouse complexes to apartment buildings in North Vancouver. Your written quote sets out the included surfaces, products and any exclusions, and it goes to your strata's contact to take to council. When the work needs residents home or access to units, such as doors or balconies, we give the strata a schedule so it can tell residents which days. We carry $5 million liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage, and we provide a certificate of insurance on request.
What We Paint
Strata Painting Services in Sea-to-Sky & North Shore
Building Exteriors
Siding, stucco, fascia, soffits and trim on condo and townhouse buildings. Our crews complete all surface preparation, including washing, scraping, sanding, caulking and priming, before the finish coats go on.
Unit Doors & Frames
We paint unit entry doors and frames across a building, in a colour match when needed, and schedule the work around resident access.
Stairwells & Common Areas
Stairwells, landings and other shared spaces are painted so the building stays usable while the work is underway.
Concrete Walls
Concrete walls are pressure washed, and loose or failing paint is sanded and scraped off before new coats go on.

What to Know Before a Strata Repaint in Squamish, Whistler or on the North Shore
BC's strata rules and each city's own rules both shape a building-wide repaint here. What to plan for, and what we do about each.
In Whistler, a new colour can need a permit too
In Whistler's multi-family areas, changing a building to a dissimilar colour needs a development permit from the Resort Municipality of Whistler, and the guidelines ask for muted, natural colours. If a new colour scheme is on the table, council should check with the municipality before the vote.
Townhouse complexes in Whistler and Squamish
About 1 in 4 Whistler homes and 1 in 7 Squamish homes is a townhouse. Under BC's Standard Bylaws, the strata repairs and maintains the outside of the buildings, balconies, exterior doors, and the fences and railings around patios and yards, even when one owner has the use of them, so a whole complex can be painted under one quote.
A new colour can need a 3/4 vote
Under BC's Strata Property Act, a significant change in the appearance of common property needs a 3/4 vote, and a new colour scheme can count as one. On request, we put real paint samples on the wall, so owners see each colour on the building before they decide.
How the repaint is approved and paid for
Under the Strata Property Act, the strata corporation must repair and maintain common property, so a building-wide repaint is council's decision. Paying from the contingency reserve fund takes a majority vote at a general meeting if the depreciation report recommends the work, and a 3/4 vote if it doesn't, and a special levy takes a 3/4 vote. Your written quote sets out the included surfaces, products and any exclusions.
Apartment buildings on the North Shore
About half the homes in the City of North Vancouver are strata, and more than a quarter are in buildings of five storeys or more. Where a building needs a lift, we bring one in, and the cost is in your written quote.
WorkSafeBC and insurance paperwork
WorkSafeBC suggests getting a contractor's clearance letter before the job starts and again before the final payment. We provide a certificate of insurance on request, so council has it on file before work begins.

Meet the Owner
Brad Samuels
Founder & Franchise Owner, Colour Craft Painting Sea-to-Sky & North Shore
My name is Brad Samuels, and I am the founder of Colour Craft Painting. I was born and raised in Richmond, BC, and I studied finance and marketing at the University of Northern British Columbia. In my early twenties, I developed an interest in business and home services.
During my first year of university, I was recruited by a franchise painting company. My experience with running a franchise painting division allowed me to develop core fundamental business skills and invaluable hands-on customer service experience. I proceeded to manage teams and paint 100's of houses for the next 10 years.
What I have learned is that service is about how people feel throughout the whole process. It's not just an end product. Having a brand you enjoy is a part of that experience.
