In order for us to be able to give clients full service, quality painting, we needed to help them understand why hiring a quality painter was worth the extra investment. Personally when I am making a big purchase, I like to feel like I am making an educated, well thought out decision. I do research. Usually […]
Last week I posted a blog that mentioned we were completely booked for exterior repaints this year and now booking for next spring. With today’s weather forecast, it is a good thing that we are not taking on any more exterior paint projects in Vancouver this year. I got quite a bit of feedback on […]
When Warren and I attended the Surrey Board of Trade’s 2011 Business Excellence Awards gala event. Warline Painting was a finalist for one of the Business Excellence Awards. The winner of our category was G3 Consulting Ltd. and we congratulate them whole-heartedly. The evening was wonderful. Dinner was great. We sat at a table with […]
I saw three absolutely great ads for painting yesterday from Seattle based, Shearer Painting. Do you know what I love about these ads? The price. One room for about $600.

I knew navy was going to be a hot colour in 2013. It was popping up in show homes we were painting. That is always an early indicator of where colour trends are heading. But exterior house colours don’t trend like interior colours do. For good reason, people move more conservatively when choosing colours for […]
Warline is not your typical painting company. That sentence has become my opening line to anyone interested in our company. We stand apart from our competition. We give our painters the best tools, the best products and the best training to help them exceed our customers expectations on every job we do. That’s a pretty […]
We are just finishing up our first interior repaint job of an entire home including ceilings, trim and walls since investing in Festool’s line of dust extractors. It has been an interesting job in that we were not only test driving our new Festool sanders and dust extractor but also Benjamin Moore’s new line of full […]
I had it all planned out. This week is Small Business Week, sponsored by Business Development Canada (BDC). I wrote a tribute to all the small businesses that we work with and the ongoing contributions they make to our economy and more importantly, our communities. I was going to discuss the challenges and the struggles […]
