The Project

This Valley Cliff home in Squamish had a warm tan/pink siding that had seen years of weather exposure from the Sea-to-Sky corridor's demanding climate — rain, UV, and temperature swings that are hard on exterior coatings. The homeowner wanted a complete transformation: a cool, modern blue-grey palette that would complement the dramatic mountain backdrop that defines Valley Cliff.

The scope covered every exterior surface: wood siding, soffits, gutters, window frames, door frames, and doors. We used Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior — our preferred product for Squamish homes because of its exceptional UV resistance, moisture protection, and long-term colour retention. Duration's self-priming formula also means better adhesion on the existing wood siding without a separate primer coat.

The in-progress photos tell the story of the transformation — you can see the new blue-grey being applied by spray alongside the original tan siding, and the dramatic difference even mid-project. By completion, the home had a completely new identity: cool, confident, and perfectly matched to the mountain setting of Valley Cliff.

The Colour Craft yard sign in front of the finished home is a detail we're proud of — this is the kind of result that gets noticed in the neighbourhood and generates calls from the neighbours.

Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior (Custom Blue-Grey) ↗— Wood Siding, Soffits, Gutters, Frames & Doors

Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior is our preferred product for Squamish homes. Its self-priming formula provides exceptional adhesion on wood siding, outstanding UV resistance for the Sea-to-Sky corridor's intense summer sun, and superior moisture protection for the region's heavy rainfall. The custom blue-grey colour was matched to the homeowner's vision and complements the mountain backdrop of Valley Cliff perfectly.

“The transformation was exactly what we envisioned. The blue-grey looks incredible against the mountains. The crew was professional, efficient, and the job site was clean every day. We couldn't be happier with the result.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Squamish's wet climate affect exterior paint?+
Squamish receives over 2,000mm of rainfall annually — one of the highest in BC. This means exterior paint must be applied to properly prepared, dry surfaces and must be a premium product with excellent moisture resistance. We use Sherwin-Williams Duration and SuperPaint lines specifically because of their advanced moisture protection. Prep work is non-negotiable in Squamish: any failing paint, gaps, or exposed wood will absorb water and cause the new coating to fail within a season.
What time of year is best to paint a home exterior in Squamish?+
Late spring through early fall (May through September) is the ideal window for exterior painting in Squamish. We need temperatures above 10°C and at least 48 hours of dry weather after application. July and August offer the most reliable conditions. We do not recommend exterior painting in November through March due to the high rainfall and temperature fluctuations that prevent proper curing.
How long will exterior paint last in the Sea-to-Sky corridor?+
With premium products and proper prep, exterior paint on a Squamish or Whistler home typically lasts 7–10 years. Homes with significant sun exposure on south-facing walls, or those with cedar siding that wasn't properly primed, may need attention at 6–8 years. Our 2-year workmanship warranty covers any adhesion or application failures within the first two years.
Do you work in Whistler, Pemberton, and Brackendale as well as Squamish?+
Yes — Colour Craft Painting's Sea-to-Sky franchise covers the entire corridor from Squamish through Brackendale, Garibaldi Highlands, Britannia Beach, Whistler, and Pemberton. We regularly work on homes throughout the Sea-to-Sky region and are familiar with the specific challenges each area presents.
How do you handle difficult access on multi-storey homes in Garibaldi Highlands?+
Many homes in Garibaldi Highlands and Brackendale are built on sloped terrain with challenging ladder placements. Our crew is trained and equipped for difficult access situations — we use 40-foot extension ladders, pump jacks, and where required, boom lifts. We assess every access challenge during the estimate and price accordingly so there are no surprises on the job.
