Strata Painting Services in South Surrey & White Rock

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 South Surrey or White Rock

BC's strata rules and the two cities' own rules both shape a building-wide repaint here. What to plan for, and what we do about each.

White Rock buildings and the City's design guidelines

About 4 in 10 White Rock homes are strata, mostly in low-rise apartment buildings. The City's town centre, waterfront and multi-family areas are development permit areas, and its design guidelines for new buildings there favour natural tones, with brighter colours as accents. If a new colour scheme changes how the building looks, council should check with the City before the vote.

Townhouse complexes in South Surrey

About 1 in 5 South Surrey 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.

Older and newer buildings

About half of White Rock's homes were built between 1961 and 1990, while about half of South Surrey's were built since 2001. An older building has usually been painted several times, so siding, trim and railings often need more scraping, patching and priming, and a newer one often needs less. We check the condition at your estimate, and the prep is described in your written quote.

Lifts, scaffolding and sidewalks

Where a building needs a lift or scaffolding, we arrange it, and the cost is in your written quote. Closing a sidewalk, lane or road for it needs a permit from the City of Surrey or the City of White Rock.

Common Questions About Strata Painting in South Surrey & White Rock

Do you paint condo and townhouse complexes in South Surrey and White Rock?
Yes. We paint condo and townhouse buildings across South Surrey and White Rock, outside and in common areas, for strata councils and property managers.
How does the quote work for a strata council?
We visit and go through what the strata wants painted. Your written quote sets out the included surfaces, products and any exclusions, and it goes to your strata's contact, who takes it to council.
Can you work while residents are living in the building?
Yes. Stairwells and common areas stay usable while the work is underway.
Can an owner repaint their own door or balcony?
Not without the strata's written approval. Under BC's Standard Bylaws, an owner needs the strata corporation's written approval to alter the exterior of a building, balconies and other things attached to it, and doors that front on common property, and a building-wide repaint is run by the strata itself. A strata can file its own bylaws, so check yours.
How much does a strata repaint cost?
Every strata job is priced from its own scope: the size of the buildings, the surfaces and how much prep they need, how easy they are to reach, and whether a lift or scaffolding is needed. Your written quote sets out the included surfaces, products and any exclusions.
What paint products do you use?
We use Sherwin-Williams most often, and we have relationships with all the main paint stores, so if you have a brand you prefer, we can use it. The exact products for your building are listed in your written quote.
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.
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.
