Painters
Downtown
Vancouver
Downtown painting is building painting. The strata rules, the elevator and the loading bay decide the schedule, so we sort those before we talk colours.
Painting on the Downtown Peninsula
Downtown runs from Burrard Inlet on the north to False Creek on the south, with the West End and Stanley Park on one side and Strathcona on the other. Coal Harbour is high-rise condos, Gastown mixes apartments, condos and lofts, and Crosstown has heritage loft conversions next to newer towers.
The City's heritage list counts 409 heritage buildings Downtown, second only to Kitsilano. So a job can be a tower suite one week and a converted heritage building the next.
We do condo interiors, strata and multi-family work and commercial painting across the peninsula. We also cover Yaletown and the West End.
What Downtown Jobs Look Like
A condo job goes well or badly on planning. The brushwork is the predictable part, so we put our effort into the planning.
- Strata rules and work hours.Most buildings set quiet hours and ask for notice. We read the rules and work inside them.
- Elevators and loading bays.Materials go up in the window the building gives us. Floors, hallways and the elevator stay protected.
- Loft conversions.Gastown and Crosstown have converted loft buildings. If yours has original brick or beams, we mask them and paint only what is meant to be painted.
- Suites that turn over.Between owners or tenants, walls get patched and primed and the suite goes back to a clean, even colour.
