Painting Services in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland

Painted Spaces is a painting company for both residential and commercial service providing quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. Regardless of how large or small the job might be, proper procedures, so often forgotten by larger painting companies, are adhered to and followed by Painted Spaces. This attention to detail is what makes a paint job look great !

Quality work is not only in the workmanship but also the materials used. Painted Spaces uses quality paints that comprise the greenest and most environmentally friendly materials on the market. We use the best and most appropriate products, irrespective of the scale or budget of an undertaking. Our experienced and local suppliers (even their chemists), provide us with a high level of support and expertise.

We recycle all empties and will also recycle old or unused paint cans our clients may have sitting around from old jobs.

There are few paint problems that we have not encountered, and we have a reliable team in place to deal with those old and new. Our focus is on being able to apply paints whose colours will be vibrant for years, withstanding weather, playful children’s hands and the moving of office chairs.

Commercial Painting Services

PS has a large commercial portfolio. This includes working with project managers, engineers, architects, strata development managers, realtors, builders and renovators. It also includes commercial designers, shop owners and office managers. We have painted office buildings, apartment buildings, restaurants, cafes, store fronts, retail clothing and cosmetic stores, strata buildings, large residential projects, departments stores, bed and breakfasts, hotels, bars, liquor stores, churches and swimming pools. This work often includes exterior and interior components.

We understand that on commercial projects honoring time schedules becomes additionally important. We also know that flexible hours of work are often a necessity. PS projects sometimes require working evenings, nights and weekends. Finishing on time is one of our specialties (even when schedules are tight).

In our work we occasionally encounter toxic elements. We have carried out asbestos encapsulation and removal and have effectively dealt with mercury contamination issues.

Exterior surfaces. Carefully protecting plants, shrubs, trees, special stone work sidewalks and driveways, roof tiles and carrying out fall safety procedures for our painters to limit on-the-job risks. PS maintains a high attention to surface preparation. Bringing surfaces to the right level of preparation will ensure primers and top coats can be applied safely, which then will adhere and last for years. Gaps, holes and cracks that make surfaces and interior areas of structures vulnerable to weather are filled and repaired with the best fillers and caulking. PS is familiar working on historical projects, and historical designated buildings, utilizing historical pallets. PS is recommended by the True Colours program of Vancouver.

For advice on historical renovations or repairs we have a historical architect, specializing in the history of Vancouver buildings, available for consultations. PS is also experienced at carrying out a variety of carpentry repairs prior to painting: replacing shingle siding, replacing portions or complete sections of fascia board etc. For larger scope repairs PS is partnered with reputable and qualified renovators and builders.

Interior

Painted Spaces uses a variety of cover-off materials including clean interior drop-clothes, an assortment of tapes, papers and polys. We only use tapes that are surface and job appropriate; it could be less aggressive tapes for delicate surfaces or ones that contain paint activated gel to prevent bleed-through where contrasting colours may come together*. Prior to painting we move furniture carefully, quietly and efficiently. Our covering drops are applied so that they don’t slip and floors can be walked on without tripping or tracking paint during the course of a job. In addition to wall repairs, all walls are pole sanded to remove old roller lint and minor impurities from old paint jobs. Most trim surfaces are hand brushed out, to support a wood grain reveal and avoid roller stipple (unsuitable for woodwork). PS is always ready to carry out a variety of repairs necessary before painting commences. Replacing sections of trim, installing new pieces of drywall, or repairing and matching existing textured ceilings are all tasks that PS is qualified to carry out. PS have three design consultants available to offer professional consultations on paint colours and complete interior makeovers.
