Vancouver Residential Interior Painting
A fresh coat of interior paint is one of the most effective ways to update a home in Vancouver. Whether you're refreshing a living room before listing, modernizing an older kitchen, or repainting after a renovation, the outcome depends largely on what happens before the paint roller comes out. We spend as much time on prep as we do on the actual painting — because that's what produces results that last.
How We Prepare the Room
When our crew arrives, the first thing we do is protect your space. Rosin paper goes down on hardwood and tile floors. Furniture gets grouped toward the centre of the room and covered with heavy plastic sheeting. All air vents are sealed before sanding begins so gypsum dust doesn't circulate through your HVAC system.
Drywall Repair Before Painting
We inspect every wall and ceiling before priming. Popped nails, water stains, settlement cracks, and old patch jobs all get addressed. We use fiberglass mesh tape and lightweight joint compound to repair drywall defects, then sand everything flat using vacuum-assisted sanding equipment. By the time primer goes on, the surfaces are as flat and clean as they're going to get.
Stain-Blocking Primer
Older walls often have embedded stains — cooking oils, smoke residue, water marks — that will bleed through standard paint. We use shellac-based or synthetic stain-blocking primers on problem surfaces before applying colour. This step prevents bleed-through and ensures a consistent, opaque finish across the entire wall.
Low-VOC Interior Paints
We apply Sherwin-Williams interior paints in zero-VOC or low-VOC formulations. These products provide excellent coverage, scrub resistance in high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens, and they dry without releasing harsh chemical odours. Your family can return to the room faster, and the air quality in your home stays clean throughout the process.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting
If your kitchen cabinets are structurally sound but the finish has aged, repainting them is a fraction of the cost of replacement. We remove all doors and drawer fronts, sand and prime them in a controlled environment, and apply a durable lacquer finish using an HVLP spray system. The cabinet boxes remaining in your kitchen get masked and sprayed to match. The result looks factory-finished at a realistic cost.
