Painting Services in Kitsilano
Kitsilano is one of Vancouver's most sought-after neighbourhoods — bounded by English Bay to the north, with Craftsman heritage homes, converted duplexes, character apartments, and newer strata buildings spread throughout. We paint homes and commercial properties across all of Kitsilano, from the beach-facing homes on Point Grey Road to the infill townhomes and walk-ups south of Broadway.
Exterior Painting for Kitsilano Craftsman Homes
The heritage Craftsman and character homes that define much of Kitsilano's residential stock have specific exterior painting challenges. Cedar siding, wide timber columns, exposed rafter tails, and multi-gabled rooflines all require careful masking, priming, and detailed brush work around complex trim profiles. Homes along the north end of the neighbourhood near the water are also exposed to more direct Pacific weather, which accelerates paint degradation on north and west-facing surfaces.
We start every Kitsilano exterior with a full pressure wash, mildewcide treatment on any affected surfaces, and detailed scraping and spot-priming of bare wood before topcoats go on. We use elastomeric exterior coatings for siding that needs flexibility through seasons of heavy rain and dry summer heat.
Duplex, Multiplex & Strata Painting
A large portion of Kitsilano's housing stock has been stratified — old character homes converted to duplexes or triplexes, and apartment buildings from the 1960s through 80s. We paint individual suites during ownership changeovers, whole buildings for strata corporations, and common areas including stairwells, foyers, and parkades. We coordinate with strata councils on scheduling, noise compliance, and advance notice to residents.
Interior Painting & Popcorn Removal
Inside Kitsilano homes and apartments, one of the most common requests we get is popcorn ceiling removal. Many of the suites in older Kitsilano buildings still have original acoustic ceilings from the 1970s and 80s — removing them and finishing with a smooth skim coat makes a visible difference in how the space looks and feels. We also handle full suite repaints, kitchen cabinet refinishing, and drywall repair in connection with interior painting projects throughout the neighbourhood.
