Painting in Mount Pleasant

What to Know Before Painting a Mount Pleasant Home

Mount Pleasant mixes older houses with newer buildings, and Vancouver has a long rainy season. That 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.

Old and new, side by side

About 4 in 10 Mount Pleasant homes were built before 1981, and about 4 in 10 since 2006, 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.

More than the walls

On one Mount Pleasant Craftsman house, we repainted the stucco, fascia, soffits, deck, windows and doors and restored the cedar stairs. A full exterior usually covers far more than the walls, so make sure every surface is listed in your written quote.

Rain sets the schedule

Vancouver airport gets about 1,150 mm of rain a year, most of it outside summer. We paint exteriors from mid-March through October, and we never paint in the rain or on wet surfaces, so spring and fall jobs move around the weather.

Why Choose Us

Why Mount Pleasant 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, 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Painting in Mount Pleasant

How much does exterior painting cost in Mount Pleasant?
Most exterior jobs in Mount Pleasant fall between $4,000 and $25,000+. Smaller jobs, like simple trim work, a partial repaint, or a deck or fence, start at about $1,200, 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 Mount Pleasant?
A full exterior repaint on a typical detached house in Mount Pleasant usually runs $8,000 to $15,000. Smaller, simpler homes sit at the lower end, and larger homes and heritage houses 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.
What have Mount Pleasant paint jobs cost?
A Mount Pleasant stucco repaint with cedar stairs came in at $11,000 to $15,000. Nearby in East Vancouver, a large heritage home with a porch, stairs, decks and railings ran $21,000 to $27,000. You can see both in our recent projects.
How often should you repaint the outside of a house?
Most homeowners repaint every 7 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 home in Mount Pleasant?
Our exterior painting season runs mid-March through October. July and August are the most reliable months, with about six or seven rainy days each at Vancouver airport, while April and October have about 15, so spring and fall jobs move around the weather more.
Do I need a permit to repaint a heritage house in Mount Pleasant?
Repainting in the same colours does not need a heritage alteration permit under the City of Vancouver's heritage by-law. If your house is protected heritage property, changing its colours can need one, so check with the City before you choose new colours.
Do you handle lead paint on older homes?
Yes. Older houses can have lead paint under the newer coats. Our crews test for it and handle it safely, and if it affects your job, your written quote will say so.
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. We can repair small areas and replace a few split or soft boards so the paint goes onto sound wood. If the damage runs wider than that, we will tell you and recommend bringing in a carpenter.
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.
Do you paint strata buildings and businesses in Mount Pleasant?
Yes. We paint storefronts, offices and strata exteriors. Every job starts with a written scope, and we schedule the work around your business hours and your tenants.
Which parts of Mount Pleasant do you paint in?
All through the neighbourhood, around Main Street, Broadway, Kingsway and Brewery Creek, and nearby in Fairview, Riley Park and Grandview-Woodland. Every estimate is done at your home or business, so tell us your address and we will come to you.
