On Time & On Budget. Award-Winning Exterior Painters

Every Surface. Done Right.
Living on the coast comes with a price, especially for your home’s exterior. Vancouver’s unique mix of salt-air, rain and UV exposure, all take a toll and paint breaks down faster here than in drier parts of the province. A paint job that lasts a decade elsewhere, might only make it through a few seasons without proper prep and the right products.
That’s where we come in. At Grandview Painting, we start every exterior job with thorough surface preparation – cleaning, scraping, sanding, caulking & priming – because even the best paint fails on a poorly prepped surface. We use Sherwin-Williams products suited for this climate, whether we’re painting siding, stucco, trim, doors, gutters or railings.
The proof is in our track record: With over 1,000 completed projects and a 3-year workmanship warranty backing every job, we’ve proven that professional exterior painting doesn’t require gambling on whether your contractor will show up or whether the finish will last. It just requires a team that does things right the first time.

Every Surface. Done Right.
Most people have either had a bad experience with painters or know someone who has. Jobs that drag on for weeks. Quotes that balloon once the work starts. Finishes that peel or fade way too soon. It’s why homeowners are skeptical, and honestly, they should be.
At Grandview Painting, we’ve spent years doing things differently. We show up when scheduled, we stick to the quoted price, and we prep surfaces properly so the paint actually lasts. We use Sherwin-Williams products formulated for Vancouver’s coastal climate—rain, moisture, salt air, all of it. And we stand behind every job with a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Since 2019, we’ve completed over 1,000 exterior projects across the Lower Mainland. That growth came from referrals and repeat clients – people who finally found a painting contractor they could trust. We’d like to earn that same trust from you.
Full Exterior House Painting
Exterior painting is a big investment and you deserve to know exactly what you’re getting. That’s why every project starts with a comprehensive, line-by-line estimate covering prep work, repairs, materials and labour. We coordinate everything from pressure washing and carpentry repairs to thorough surface prep and priming. We use multiple coats of premium Sherwin-Williams paint which is built to handle Vancouver’s coastal conditions.
We treat your property like it’s our own. That means protecting your landscaping, windows and hardscaping while we work. It also means leaving the site clean at the end of every day, not just when the job is done. You’ll also never be left wondering what’s happening thanks to the daily updates our team will provide throughout the project. Before final payment, we walk through everything together to make sure you’re thrilled with the results. The outcome: a durable, stunning finish protected by our 3-year workmanship warranty, delivered on schedule, on budget, by a crew that actually keeps their word.
Stucco & Brick Painting
Greater Vancouver has tons of stucco homes and we’ve painted a lot of them. Stucco and brick need specific prep work, primers and application techniques to get paint to adhere properly and last. We’ve completed hundreds of stucco and brick exterior painting projects and know what works best.
Wood Siding & Cedar Painting
Wood siding is common in Vancouver and it takes a beating from the rain and humidity. Cracking, peeling and rot are all par for the course if it’s not properly maintained. We prep thoroughly, replace damaged sections and use premium quality exterior paints that hold up. We’ve done this on everything from heritage homes to newer builds.
Hardie Board & Composite Siding Painting
James Hardie and other fibre cement products are built to last, but professional coating still makes a real difference in how they hold up over time. Surface prep matters. Product selection matters. Our team is experienced with Hardie board and all composite siding types throughout the region.
Siding Repairs
Paint won’t fix bad siding. When we find damaged sections during prep our team takes care of small to mid-sized repairs ourselves. We’ll replace boards and fix cracks where possible. For larger jobs like full siding replacement, we have trusted contractors we’ve partnered with over the years to help coordinate the process so you’re not juggling multiple trades on your own. We always make sure the surface is ready before any paint goes on. We don’t believe in cutting corners, even if you can’t see once it’s painted over.
Gutter & Downspout painting
Gutters and downspouts fade and oxidize over time. It can make an otherwise good-looking house feel a bit neglected. Most people don’t think about them until they notice how dull they’ve gotten compared to a fresh paint job on the siding. We prep and paint them to match or complement your exterior so everything ties together. Proper prep is key since the metal surface needs to be cleaned and primed right or the paint won’t stick. It’s a small detail in the overall project, but it makes a noticeable difference in how finished and cohesive your home looks when everything’s done.
Garage Doors
Garage doors take up a lot of visual real estate on most homes and they get hit with sun, rain and temperature swings constantly. When they start fading or peeling, it drags down the whole look of the house. We prep and prime them properly, which is especially important since garage doors expand and contract a lot. We’ll then paint them to match or complement your exterior. It’s one of those things that has a big impact for relatively little effort once we’re already on site.
Doors
Your front door gets noticed. It’s the focal point of your home’s exterior. It also gets opened, closed, and exposed to weather constantly, so the finish needs to hold up. We take our time with front doors, prepping and painting them properly so you get a smooth durable finish that lasts.
Trim, Shutters & Soffits
Trim, shutters and soffits are usually the first places you’ll notice paint failing, they take the most abuse. We pay close attention to these details, using durable products that resist cracking, peeling, and fading. It’s the finishing work that makes the whole job look right.
Power Washing (Prep Work)
Every exterior job starts with a proper power wash to remove dirt, mildew and loose paint. We adjust the pressure depending on the surface. Too much and you cause damage, too little and you’re wasting time. Clean surfaces mean better adhesion and better adhesion means the paint actually lasts.
Carpentry Repairs
There’s no point painting over rotten wood because it won’t hold and the problem will get worse. We can handle any carpentry prep needed before we paint: replacing damaged boards, fixing rot and making sure everything is solid. It’s part of doing the job right.
Decks & Fences
Decks and fences take a beating from the weather and need regular protection. We offer both solid and semi-transparent stains, it’s about a 50/50 split around here. Solid stain gives more coverage and hides imperfections, while semi-transparent lets the wood grain show through and looks more natural. Either way, proper cleaning and prep is essential or the stain won’t penetrate and bond like it should. We’ll help you figure out which option makes sense for your wood and the look you’re going for.

Exterior Painting FAQs – Vancouver & The Lower Mainland
Costs vary based on the size of your home, the type of siding, the number of coats and the condition of what’s already there. Most full exterior repaints on single-family homes in Greater Vancouver fall somewhere between $3,000 and $10,000+. The best way to get an accurate number is a free on-site estimate. Schedule your estimate today.
The exterior season in the Lower Mainland typically runs from mid-April through mid-October. Booking early is always the best move because it gives you more flexibility on timing. Early summer tends to produce the best results, when temperatures are moderate and humidity is lower. That said, specialty products can be applied in near-freezing conditions when needed.
No. Wet or rainy conditions compromise paint adhesion and the final finish. Projects are planned around suitable conditions, and weather is monitored carefully throughout. Most high-quality paints become rain-resistant within 90 minutes of application, but the cautious approach always wins. If unexpected weather affects your project, you’ll hear from us promptly.
We could write a whole article on this question! Clearly, you want to avoid rainy conditions when taking on an exterior painting project. If you’re surprised by rainfall during your project, stop painting immediately; wait until the rain stops and your painting surface is dry. With most high quality paint, your project will be rain-resistant as long as the paint is applied at least 90 minutes before rainfall. Another big concern is humidity. If the humidity is too high, paint can dry improperly. In short, the industry standard is to paint on a surface whose temperature is more than 5 degrees above the dew point—the temperature at which water droplets begin to condense.
Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams and Cloverdale Paint. These are among the most trusted products available for the Lower Mainland’s climate, chosen for moisture resistance, durability and UV protection. Lower-grade products aren’t used. The quality of the paint matters as much as the quality of the work, and there’s no interest in compromising on either.
A full exterior repaint on a single-family home typically takes 3 to 7 days, depending on the size, complexity and number of coats. A trim-only job can sometimes wrap up in a day or two. A timeline estimate is included with your written quote so you know what to plan around.
Moving plants, outdoor furniture and other items away from the walls is helpful where possible. If there are shrubs or planters that can’t be moved, just mention it ahead of time — foliage and landscaping are protected during the work. All surface preparation is handled by our team.
Yes. Every project is backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty. That’s possible because of the quality of materials used and the care taken in applying them. Paint and materials are supplied directly, which keeps quality control where it belongs.
Absolutely. The office is based in Surrey, but work happens throughout the Lower Mainland – Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Delta, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Langley, White Rock and surrounding communities. If you’re not sure whether your area is covered, call 604-560-8896 and we’ll sort it out quickly.
Colour selection is one of the most important parts of the process, and it gets easier with the right guidance. Our team walks through colour considerations during the estimate — taking into account the home’s architecture, the roof colour and the neighbourhood.
Look for someone who is licensed, insured and willing to provide a detailed written estimate. Check that they’re using quality products and not just quoting low while cutting corners on materials. Also, make sure to read the reviews. A strong local reputation, earned over real projects, is the clearest indicator of what you’ll get. Grandview Painting is proud to let its awards and client reviews speak.
We ask that all plants and other foliage be trimmed back from the house as best as possible, before our team arrives. Sometimes we understand that this is not always possible, and this can most certainly be addressed for your unique project prior to painting!
Our exterior season begins in mid April and finishes mid October. (weather permitting) There are specialty products on today’s market that can be applied in near freezing temperatures. However, If booked early enough in the year, the best time is early or late summer. Not too hot, and not too cold. The less humidity in the air the better!
No two projects are the same! A trim painting job could take as little as 1 day, to a full repaint taking multiple weeks. We find most exterior painting jobs are completed in 5 days.
