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.

You are not likely going to repaint an entire house because you don’t love the colour you chose. Better to get it right the first time.” This summer we were […]

So I thought instead of writing about design trends and predictions, which are in full swing on the blog circuit right now, I would share our top five interior paint products.

We are almost done with exterior painting for the year and are finishing up our last two exterior projects in New Westminster and Coquitlam. This uncharacteristically nice weather has made for a great exterior painting season. Every year, at the end of the exterior painting season, we sit down and discuss what products we liked the […]
