Commercial, industrial and multi-residential properties present complex structural complexities and challenges to waterproofing and require a highly trained and experienced crew to do the job properly.

Preparation also gives the workman the opportunity to assess the condition of the surfaces to see if there are any other problems that may need to be addressed.
\n\n\n\nBecause exterior painting needs to be accomplished during dry weather — maybe 4 or 5 months in Vancouver — much of the logistical and preparatory planning for exterior painting projects is carried out in the off season. Exterior painting isn’t a spur of the moment type of project!
\n\n\n\nPreparation starts with the removal of loose paint, dirt, grease, mildew and mold from the paintable surfaces utilizing the most appropriate method whether that be pressure washing, power washing, steam cleaning, hand washing, or other methods. Tenting, masking and drop cloths ensures the paint goes only where it is supposed to and not onto neighbouring buildings or cars. In some instances, traffic may need to be re-routed.
\n\n\n\nVanguard Painting is equipped and experienced to handle all exterior painting services throughout Metro Vancouver. Our professional painters can operate and set up boom lifts, pressure washers, scaffolding, swing stages, bosun’s chairs, and more. Our crews are trained in fall protection, aerial lift operation, rope access, ladder safety, and WHMIS, and all of our work sites have at least one employee trained in first aid per WCB regulations. Our exterior painting jobs are expertly executed, and we always use the most effective methods and equipment.
\n\n\n\nOur painters utilize high-quality industrial-grade materials and paints, using the latest-generation coatings, such as oil-based and latex paints, epoxies and multi-part epoxies, direct-to-rust coatings, elastomeric, safety paints, traffic paints, high-adhesion coatings, specialty coatings, industrial enamels, urethanes and polyurethanes, drywall paints, non-slip coatings, low-emission coatings, and more.
\n\n\n\nWhether your building is an aluminum-clad high-rise tower, a shop with wood siding, a concrete block warehouse or a metal holding tank, Vanguard Painting is experienced and well-equipped to handle all commercial, industrial and multi-residential exterior painting in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

Damage often forms in heavy use areas such as driveways, floors, stairs, patios, sidewalks or retaining walls. Damaged concrete is not aesthetically pleasing and will reflect badly on your complex, but it can also have more serious consequences.
\n\n\n\nIf you let it go, or if the damage is not properly repaired, the problems can get worse. Multi-residential concrete repair should be done as early as possible to halt further damage that will only become more costly to fix.
\n\n\n\nEarly signs of damage to concrete structures that are not promptly and properly repaired can lead to serious, and dangerous problems — problems such as the penetration of aggressive substances or water leading to reduced durability, reduction in bearing capacity or corrosion of steel bars, depending on what the concrete is used for.
\n\n\n\nVanguard Painting always works with you to find the best solution to your concrete problems, first helping to identify the precise concrete problem, outlining repair options and offering a fair estimate for our services to fit your budget.
\n\n\n\nWorking with concrete is complex, requiring levels of knowledge and skill that can only be gained over years of experience of working with concrete in various applications and circumstances. We’ve been working with concrete since 1998, giving us the expertise to ensure that our concrete repairs are durable and safe as well as aesthetically pleasing.
