Painting in Kitsilano
What to Know Before Painting a Kitsilano Home
Kitsilano has many older houses, and Vancouver has a long rainy season. That is hard on exterior paint, and it shapes how we prep and schedule your job.
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.
The sunny side fades first
The south and west sides get the strongest sun, so paint there usually fades first. If your home gets a lot of sun, keep in mind that darker and brighter colours fade faster, and ask us at your estimate about a higher-end product.
Older homes often need more prep
Most Kitsilano housing was built before 1980, according to the City of Vancouver. Older siding and trim often need more scraping, patching and priming before any paint goes on, though a well-maintained home may need less. We check the condition at your estimate, and the prep is described in your written quote.
Character houses take more time
Wood siding, porches, brackets and detailed trim mean more hours of prep and careful brushwork, so character and heritage houses often land at the higher end of the price range. Your written quote shows exactly what is included for your house.
Book dry months early
Vancouver airport averages about 1,150 mm of rain a year, but only six or seven rainy days each in July and August. We paint exteriors from mid-March through October, and if you want one of the driest months, the earlier you book the better.
Why Choose Us
Why Kitsilano 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 Production Manager as your 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.
Local and Owner-Run
Vancouver is where our crews work, week in and week out. We are locally owned and operated, with our office here in Kitsilano, and the owner sets the standard every crew works to. If something needs attention after the job, we are nearby.
How It Works
From Estimate to Final Coat
01
Free Estimate
Book online or call. We visit and go through what you want painted, and most of the time you have your written quote on the spot. If not, it follows within 24 hours.
02
Schedule & Colours
We give you an expected timeframe, narrow it as your start gets closer, keep you updated along the way, and confirm your start day shortly before we begin. You don't need colours picked to book. On request, we can put test patches on the wall, and Sherwin-Williams' colour tools can help you narrow it down.
03
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.
04
Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished project together and confirm every detail, backed by the 2-year written warranty on house painting.
Our Promise
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.
