Interior Painting Tips

Use low-VOC paints suited for Vancouver's ventilation needs. Prep thoroughly — fill, sand, prime. Use moisture-resistant paints in bathrooms and kitchens. Satin and eggshell finishes are practical for high-traffic areas.

Exterior Painting in BC

Paint between May and September for best results. Use premium acrylic latex paint rated for Pacific Northwest weather. Pressure wash and scrape before painting. Pay special attention to south and west-facing walls.
