Exterior Painting

No matter what the exterior of your commercial, industrial or multi-residential buildings — whether wood, metal or concrete — proper maintenance and painting will protect them from the damaging effects of the elements. Exterior painting for larger commercial, industrial or multi-residential projects requires a unique skill set and specialized equipment. Established in 1998, Vanguard Painting has years of experience planning and executing large scale exterior painting projects in Vancouver and throughout the Lower Mainland to fit within the specific needs of our clients.

Exterior Painting in Vancouver is Important

Painting the exterior of your building is necessary to protect the surface against the damaging effects of rain, the sun’s ultraviolet rays or corrosive industrial or natural chemicals. Paint can even provide a level of insulation against extreme temperature differences.

Exterior painting is essential to preserve the exterior surfaces and even the structural integrity of your building, including:

Durable and cost-efficient, we can apply epoxy flooring to multiple surface types, making it the perfect choice for commercial and industrial applications.

  • Protection against the elements and even pests

Preparation is Essential for Exterior Painting Projects

The proper preparation for exterior painting is critical to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the paint job. 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.

Because 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!

Preparation 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.

"We recently contracted Vanguard to paint our interior offices and production facility and are extremely pleased with the results. As a marketing services company, it was critical that the finished product look spotless. Vanguard helped us choose the right paint for the job in order to get the look we wanted and stay on budget. They also made suggestions along the way and were very flexible in accommodating our requests. I would highly recommend Vanguard Painting. Quentin and his crew are not only professional – they’re great guys who cleaned up at the end of each day, were always polite, and completed the work on time."

Quentin, Michael, Josh and all the crews are true professionals… They follow proper painting practices. They look for good technical recommendations and follow through on them. Vanguard crews are much more experienced and trained then most crews I have seen. On a personal note they are honest and genuine, and are great to work with."

Everyone we dealt with was pleasant, efficient and they did exactly what they said they were going do, when they said they would do it. We would definitely recommend Vanguard as well as use them again ourselves."
