What to Know Before Painting a South Surrey Home

South Surrey runs from the shoreline at Crescent Beach and Ocean Park inland to Morgan Creek and Grandview Heights. Here is what the coastal weather, the age of your home and strata rules mean for your paint job.

A newer home often needs less prep

About half of South Surrey's homes were built since 2001, and only about 1 in 6 before 1981. A newer home often needs less scraping, patching and priming than an older one. We check the condition at your estimate, and the prep is described in your written quote.

Townhouse or condo? Your strata decides

About 1 in 3 South Surrey homes is a townhouse or other attached home, and about 1 in 4 is strata. In a strata, the outside is usually common property, so the council decides when it is repainted and in what colours. We paint strata exteriors as well as single homes.

More dry painting days by the coast

Ocean Park gets about 1,090 mm of rain a year, compared with about 1,190 mm at Vancouver airport and 1,560 mm in north Surrey. Between April and October that means more dry days for exterior work, and fewer start dates pushed back for rain.

Homes near the water

Salt from the sea settles mostly close to the shore, so a house at sea level in Crescent Beach or on the Ocean Park bluffs wears differently from one inland in Grandview Heights. For homes right on the water, we usually recommend a higher-end product, and every exterior starts with a wash as part of the prep, so salt and grime come off before any paint goes on.

Moisture is the main enemy

Rain from fall through spring and damp mornings year-round mean moisture gets into bare wood and open joints, and mildew grows on shaded walls. Paint only goes onto clean, dry surfaces.

Trim and window sills go first

Paint usually fails first where water sits or soaks in: window sills, the ends and edges of trim boards, and the joints between them. Caulking gaps and spot-priming bare wood are part of the prep on every exterior quote.

Why South Surrey Homeowners Choose Colour Craft

Experienced, Respectful Crews

The people in your home are experienced, respectful and accountable. They arrive on time, introduce themselves and take care with your property.

Fixed Written Price

Your quote is itemized and in writing before we start. The price only changes if the scope changes.

Thorough Prep, Built to Last

Our crews complete all surface preparation, including washing, scraping, sanding, caulking and priming, before the finish coats go on. We use Sherwin-Williams paints, and we never paint in the rain or on wet surfaces.

Proactive Communication

We keep you updated from the day you book to the final walkthrough, with one main point of contact. You should never have to follow up to find out what is happening with your own project.

Clean, Organised Job Site

Your home stays functional while we work. Drop cloths go down before brushes come out, and cleanup happens at the end of every workday.

One Standard, Every Project

Colour Craft Painting serves South Surrey and White Rock with a consistent professional standard on every project, and every job is backed in writing.

    Prep & Paint

    Our crews protect your property and complete all surface preparation before the finish coats go on. The site is left clean at the end of every workday.

Your written quote is your price.

We measure your home and run it through the same estimating system on every job, so your price comes from the surfaces, the hours and the materials, not from a gut feel on the day. The price you approve is the price you pay.

Common Questions About Painting in South Surrey

How much does exterior painting cost in South Surrey?
Most exterior jobs in South Surrey fall between $3,500 and $15,000+. Smaller jobs, like simple trim work, a partial repaint, or a deck or fence, can cost less depending on the size, and large homes with a lot of detail can cost more. The price depends on the size of the home, how much trim and detail it has, how easy it is to reach, and how much prep the surfaces need. We provide free written estimates before any work begins.
How much does it cost to paint the outside of a whole house in South Surrey?
A full exterior repaint on a typical detached house in South Surrey usually runs $8,000 to $15,000. Smaller, simpler homes sit at the lower end, and larger homes with a lot of trim and detail can cost more. Where your home lands depends on its size, the amount of trim and detail, how easy it is to reach, and how much prep it needs. Your written quote shows the exact price for your house.
How often should you repaint the outside of a house?
Most homeowners repaint every 6 to 10 years. Where your home falls in that range depends on how well the surfaces were prepped last time, the quality of the paint, and how much sun and rain your walls get.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry $5 million liability insurance, WorkSafeBC coverage, and a municipal business licence. Ask to see the documents, from anyone you hire.
When is the best time to paint the outside of a South Surrey home?
Our exterior painting season runs April through October, and we schedule around the forecast. In Ocean Park, July and August average about six rainy days each, while April and October have about 13 and 15, so spring and fall jobs move around the weather more.
Do I need a permit to repaint a house in South Surrey?
Not usually. The City of Surrey does not require a building permit for minor repairs to the outside of a home. If your home is protected under a heritage revitalization agreement with the City, the agreement can require the City's written approval of the paint colour, so check with the City first.
Do I need my strata's approval to paint?
For the outside, usually yes. Under BC's standard strata bylaws, you need the strata corporation's written approval to change the outside of your home or any common property, and a building-wide repaint is run by the strata itself.
How long does a painting job take?
Most jobs take one to five days on site, and larger homes can take up to two weeks. We give you an expected timeframe when you book, narrow it as your start gets closer, keep you updated along the way, and confirm your start day shortly before we begin.
What happens if you find rot or damaged wood?
If we find rot or damaged boards, we show you before any painting starts and refer you to a carpenter for the repair.
Do I need to pick colours before I book?
No, you don't need colours picked to book. There is no wrong way to pick a colour. Some clients arrive with a code, some take a photo of a house down the street, some want us to narrow it down with them. On request, we put real paint samples on your wall, so you see each colour in your own light before anything gets painted, and Sherwin-Williams' colour tools can help you narrow it down.
