Painters
Burnaby
BC
If you need a painter in Burnaby, whether its a Metrotown condo before listing, a family home in Edmonds, or a townhouse near Brentwood, this is for you.
Looking for a Painter in Burnaby?
Burnaby starts at Boundary Road, literally the next street east of East Vancouver. Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds, North Burnaby, Capitol Hill. SkyTrain running through the south on the Expo Line and through the north on the Millennium Line. Simon Fraser University on Burnaby Mountain. Central Park along Kingsway. Deer Lake in the middle of the city.
A condo owner in Metrotown called us last winter. 800 square feet, needed painting before selling. Three Vancouver painters said they dont go to Burnaby or wanted travel fees. We are 15 minutes from Metrotown. We painted it in four days for $3,200. It sold three weeks later.
Burnaby is not a distant suburb. It shares a border with us at Boundary Road. We work there constantly and price it exactly the same as Vancouver.
We do interior painting and exterior painting throughout Burnaby. Condos, houses, townhouses. We also handle wall and ceiling repairs and cabinet refinishing on the same visit. We cover adjacent East Vancouver and Commercial Drive on the same side of the city.
What Burnaby Painters Actually Deal With
Burnaby has more condos per capita than almost anywhere in Metro Vancouver, concentrated around the SkyTrain stations at Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, and Edmonds. But it also has a lot of family homes in North Burnaby, Capitol Hill, and the south slopes. The painter needs vary a lot by neighbourhood. Heres what comes up most:
- Condo buildings with strata requirements.Elevator bookings, insurance certificates, work hour restrictions, parking. Metrotown towers, Brentwood high-rises, Edmonds mid-rises. We know the drill and handle all of it. You tell us the building, we sort out the access.
- Pre-sale and pre-rental timelines that dont move.Burnaby real estate moves fast around SkyTrain. Listing dates are fixed. Fresh paint is one of the highest-return things you can do before listing a Burnaby condo. We schedule and deliver on time.
- 1960s to 1980s family homes in Edmonds and North Burnaby.Cedar siding and stucco exteriors, original interiors that havent changed since they were built. These homes transform well with paint. Same approach as East Van housing from the same era.
- Townhouse strata coordination.Burnaby has a lot of townhouse complexes, more than Vancouver proper. Exterior work needs strata approval and coordination with neighbours. We handle the process without making it your problem.
- Vancouver painters who wont come.The Metrotown owner we mentioned had three painters refuse or add travel fees. That is the actual painter problem in Burnaby. We are 15 minutes from Metrotown and we price it the same as Vancouver. No surcharges, no excuses.
What We Offer in Burnaby
Broadway Corridor Condo Painting
Broadway and Cambie is condo territory. Towers everywhere since SkyTrain came through, more going up every year. We have painted units all along this corridor from Main Street to Granville, in buildings old and new. We know the strata requirements, the parking challenges, and how to get in and out efficiently.
- Interior repaints: walls, ceilings, trim, doors
- Pre-sale updates: listing date does not move, we deliver on time
- Rental suite refreshes: high turnover corridor, fast turnaround
- Strata requirements handled: insurance certs, elevator booking, work hours

Colours building condo: 700 square feet, modern grays and whites, $3,400. Others quoted $4,500 to $5,200 for the same scope. Laurel Street doctor selling after residency: pre-sale paint, $3,600, sold in two weeks. See our full interior painting service for what a full repaint includes.
Heritage Home Painting South Cambie
Cedar siding on Grandview-Woodland homes varies a lot by block. Some Grant Street and Charles Street homes have well-maintained exteriors. Others have bare wood on the exposed west and south faces. Proper prep makes the difference between paint that lasts 15 years and paint that peels in three.
- Plaster wall repair using proper lime-based products, not drywall compound
- Cedar siding restoration with moisture testing and oil-based primer
- Original fir trim preservation, dont paint over what cant be replaced
- Basement suite painting, common income source in this area
- Heritage colour guidance for designated homes on Cambie Village streets
1927 bungalow on 12th Avenue: original plaster, cedar siding, basement suite. Full interior and exterior plus suite. $13,500. Cambie Village cottage on 15th: heritage restoration, kept all original character. $8,400. Our exterior painting service covers cedar prep, and our wall and ceiling repairs handles plaster before paint goes on.
VGH Area Rental and Suite Painting
Above-commercial suites along The Drive have high turnover too. Renters moving on, owners refreshing between tenants. Between-tenant repaints in this neighbourhood are common work for us. Two to three days, clean neutrals, holes patched, ready to show.
- Full suite or unit repaint in 2 to 3 days
- Patch holes and damage from previous tenants
- Flexible scheduling around medical shift work
- Clean neutrals that rent quickly to the next tenant
- Medical clinic and office painting on Oak Street corridor
Oak Street apartment: four units during resident turnover, $2,800 to $3,400 each. Property manager keeps calling us back. If drywall needs repair first, our wall and ceiling repairs service handles that on the same visit.
Townhouses and Low-Rise Buildings
More and more Drive homes have been gutted inside while keeping the heritage exterior. Contemporary drywall, open concept layouts, modern finishes. The outside still needs the traditional cedar treatment. We handle both sides of that.
- Unit interior painting for landlords and strata owners
- Common areas, hallways, and stairwells
- Building exterior painting
- False Creek townhouse complexes, we know the area
- Property managers, we know the routine, we deliver on time
Townhouse complex near 2nd Avenue and Cambie: three units during tenant turnover, $3,200 to $3,800 each. Low-rise on Fir Street: six units painted over two years for same property manager. If cabinets need updating at the same time, our cabinet refinishing service handles that on the same visit.
