Painters Marpole Vancouver – Professional Painting Services
A family on Hudson Street near 70th called us last spring. Their 1964 rancher needed painting inside badly, outside eventually. Three kids, tight budget, hoping to space out the work.
Other painters wanted $13,000 minimum for both. Family couldn’t swing that all at once.
We did interior first for $5,800. They’ll do exterior next year when budget allows. No pressure, no minimums.
Marpole gets overlooked. It’s South Vancouver, not trendy, not expensive. Just working families in modest homes near the airport. Some painters skip it “too far south,” “jobs too small.” We don’t skip it. We’re 25-30 minutes from Marpole, we’ve painted there for years Hudson Street, Angus Drive, Granville corridor, near Marpole Loop, all over. We also cover South Vancouver and Kerrisdale on the same run.
Why Marpole Homeowners Choose Us

- Stucco on 1970s-1980s homes
- Basement suites everywhere lots of rental property work
