Exterior Painting Burnaby BC
Professional exterior painting that protects your property and improves curb appeal. Serving homeowners, strata, and commercial clients across Burnaby and Greater Vancouver.
Exterior Painting That Protects and Transforms Your Property
Peeling paint, faded siding, and weather-damaged surfaces are more than an eyesore. They expose your home to moisture, wood rot, and long-term structural damage. In Metro Vancouver, the wet climate makes exterior home painting one of the most important maintenance tasks a homeowner can do.
Eddy Property Services provides professional exterior painting for houses, condos, strata complexes, and commercial buildings across Burnaby and Greater Vancouver. The team handles everything from prep and priming to the final coat using high-quality, weather-resistant exterior paints that stand up to BC rain, UV exposure, and temperature changes.
According to the HomeStars Vancouver Painting Cost Guide, exterior painting in Vancouver can cost up to $20,000 depending on the scope. Proper prep and quality materials are what determine how long exterior paint lasts in Burnaby’s climate.
Most exterior painting projects begin with thorough pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, and any failing paint before scraping, sanding, and priming. That prep work is included in every full exterior repaint quote.
Exterior Painting in Burnaby Neighbourhoods
Burnaby’s wet climate creates specific challenges for exterior paint. Older homes in Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights, and North Burnaby — many with original wood siding from the 1950s through 1980s — typically need full repaints every 6 to 8 years due to constant rain exposure on west and south-facing walls. Mid-century homes near Deer Lake and Burnaby Lake often have cedar siding that requires oil-penetrating stains rather than standard latex paint. Mid-rise and low-rise strata complexes in Metrotown and Brentwood typically follow scheduled exterior repaint cycles every 8 to 12 years to maintain property value. The team works on every property type common to the area: single-family homes, townhouses, low-rise and mid-rise strata, and commercial buildings.
Signs Your Home Needs an Exterior Repaint
Most homeowners wait too long before booking an exterior painting company. By the time paint is visibly failing, moisture has often already started working into the surface underneath. Here are the signs to watch for.
- Paint is peeling, bubbling, or flaking from siding or trim
- Visible cracking or chalking on painted surfaces
- Fading colour that makes your home look dull or dated
- Mould, mildew, or dark staining on exterior walls
- Wood surfaces feel soft or show signs of moisture damage
- Caulking around windows and doors is cracked or missing
- You are preparing to sell and want to improve curb appeal before listing
- Strata council has flagged the exterior condition for maintenance
Exterior Problems the Team Fixes
Exterior painting projects in Burnaby commonly involve the following issues, all of which are addressed during prep and primer work before any topcoat goes on.
Peeling and Moisture Damage
Moisture trapped under old paint causes peeling and wood rot. Surfaces are stripped, repaired, and primed before applying a weather-resistant topcoat.
Mould and Mildew Growth
Shaded walls in Burnaby build up mould fast. Affected surfaces are treated with the right cleaners before painting to stop regrowth.
UV Fading and Chalking
Sun exposure breaks down paint pigments over time. UV-resistant exterior coatings are used to hold colour through BC summers.
Wood Siding and Trim Damage
Unpainted or poorly painted wood absorbs moisture and rots. Proper preparation and priming on all wood surfaces is non-negotiable on every job.
Stucco and Hardie Board
These surfaces need specific primers and exterior coatings. The right products are matched to your siding material for a finish that bonds correctly.
Failed Caulking and Gaps
Cracked caulking around windows and doors lets water in. All gaps are re-caulked before painting so the whole exterior is properly sealed.
