British Columbia Transplant Society

The British Columbia Transplant Society recently contracted with Vanguard Painting to repaint our entire office, including patient exam rooms, patient waiting room and patient washrooms… We were very pleased with the Vanguard team. 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.

Vanguard Painting was hired as the successful contractor for painting the exterior of our strata complex. One of the key factors for us when choosing them was knowing that they wouldn’t broker the work to a smaller company that we knew nothing about. A Vanguard sales representative delivered a well-written comprehensive estimate and spent a great deal of time in consultation with us regarding the process… they showed up on time with a very large crew of polite guys who stayed and worked until the job was completed… After dealing with so many different contractors it was a breath of fresh air having guys like these around and I am more than happy to recommend Vanguard Painting.

Strata Corporation 2180

When asked, I had no reservations whatsoever in writing this letter of recommendation for Vanguard Painting. They recently completed all of the hallways, ceilings, four stairwells, and common doors in our 66-unit complex, Hambry Court… We were quite pleased with the quality and professionalism of the painting, the courtesy of the crew, and the manner in which the disruption to strata members was kept to a minimum. Quentin and Michael were regularly on site and any concerns were quickly dealt with. The deficiencies detected during our final walk-through were quickly touched-up and the strata has since decided to keep Vanguard on for regular maintenance of high traffic areas. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

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.

General Paint

I have had the pleasure of knowing Vanguard Painting for several years… I feel very confident in recommending Vanguard Painting for any job, big or small, in new construction or repainting, interior or exterior. 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.

This is a letter of recommendation for Vanguard Painting Ltd, which completed the external re-painting of my waterfront house in 2009. The work performed by Vanguard foreman, Ken Dodge, and his crew was excellent. Vanguard restored the siding, trim, windows and doors to a “better than new” condition at a cost significantly below that of the unsatisfactory and incomplete work of the original paint contractor… It was a pleasure to deal with Vanguard’s plain speaking President, Quentin Miller, who devised a unique contract for the completion work. I also appreciate Vanguard’s commitment and willingness to maintain their paint work throughout the warranty period.

Bower Property Management Inc.

As management agent for Strata Plan NW 2821, Tiffany Gardens, I have been requested by the strata council to send a letter of thanks to you for the recent work that your firm did painting the interior hallways. The strata council was particularly impressed that the start date was arranged early in December and the work began promptly. During this busy time of the year, the fellows worked professionally and in fact went out of their way to accommodate residents with requests. I would personally like to thank Quentin and Michael for organizing the work so well and ask that you pass along thanks to all those involved.

Many of our properties have used Vanguard on an ongoing basis as they have been very satisfied
with doing business with Biaggio and his crew.

I would recommend Vanguard Painting without hesitation as a reputable, top quality painting

This is a letter of recommendation for Vanguard Painting Ltd. This company recently painted the exterior of GM Place… During the bidding process, we were looking for a company that could deliver a long-lasting commercial/industrial paint job and also provide the beautiful finished product that a high profile building like ours require… On a personal note, dealing with Quentin, Josh, and their hard working staff was a pleasure. I have every confidence that they will maintain this paint job throughout the warranty period, as they have followed through on everything promised so far.
