4C Painters Vancouver
Professional House Painters in Vancouver, BC
Premium interior, exterior, cabinet and condo painting across Vancouver and Metro Vancouver. Licensed, insured, WCB-covered, and obsessed with flawless finishes that last through Pacific Northwest weather.
A locally-owned Vancouver painting company
4C Painters Vancouver is a locally-owned painting company serving homeowners, condo owners, stratas and businesses across Metro Vancouver. From heritage Craftsman houses in Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant to glass-tower condos in Yaletown, Coal Harbour and the West End, our crews deliver clean, durable, magazine-quality finishes built for the West Coast climate.
As Vancouver house painters, we know the Pacific Northwest weather: 1,200+ mm of rain a year, salt air off English Bay, hard UV in late summer, and freeze-thaw cycles up the North Shore. Every project is spec'd for those conditions — premium 100% acrylic exterior coatings, low-VOC interior paints, mildew-resistant formulas in bathrooms and basements, and the prep work that makes them stick.

Frequently asked questions about painting in Vancouver
Are you the best painters in Vancouver?
We let our reviews speak for us. 4C Painters Vancouver holds a 5.0★ Google rating from over a hundred verified reviews, and we're consistently recommended for residential interior, exterior, cabinet and condo painting across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, the North Shore and the rest of Metro Vancouver.
What areas do you serve in Metro Vancouver?
We paint homes and businesses across the City of Vancouver — Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Kerrisdale, Yaletown, the West End, Point Grey, Dunbar, Commercial Drive — plus Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Moody, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Surrey and New Westminster.
How long does exterior paint last in Vancouver weather?
With proper prep and a quality 100% acrylic exterior system, exterior paint on a Vancouver home typically lasts 8–12 years on siding and 5–8 years on south- and west-facing trim that takes the brunt of UV and wind-driven rain. Cedar and stained wood may need a re-coat sooner.
What time of year is best for exterior painting in Vancouver?
May through early October is the prime exterior painting window in Vancouver — surfaces dry out, daytime humidity drops, and overnight temperatures stay above the 10°C minimum most premium acrylics need to cure properly. We monitor the forecast and reschedule if rain is moving in.
What paint brands do you use?
We use premium Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams paints across the board — low-VOC interior lines like Benjamin Moore Aura and Regal Select, durable acrylics like Aura Exterior and Sherwin-Williams Emerald for outside, and urethane-acrylic cabinet enamels for kitchens.
Do you paint condos and strata buildings?
Yes — condo and strata painting is a big part of what we do. We submit certificates of insurance to your strata, book elevators, follow building rules, protect lobbies and hallways, and use low-odour low-VOC paint so neighbours aren't disrupted. Most one-bedroom suites turn over in a single day.
Do I need a permit to paint my house in Vancouver?
No — repainting an existing single-family home, condo or rental in the City of Vancouver does not require a permit. Permits only come into play for structural changes or designated heritage properties with protective designations. We'll flag anything heritage-related during the walkthrough.
How much surface prep do you do before painting?
A lot. Prep is roughly 70–80% of a quality paint job. Interiors include patching nail pops and dings, caulking gaps, sanding glossy trim, washing kitchens and bathrooms, and stain-blocking water marks. Exteriors include pressure washing, scraping failed paint to a sound edge, replacing failed caulking, and priming bare wood.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. 4C Painters Vancouver is fully licensed in the City of Vancouver and Metro Vancouver municipalities, carries $5 million liability insurance, and is WCB-covered. We can provide proof of insurance to homeowners, stratas, property managers and commercial clients on request.
How do I get a free painting quote?
Call (604) 561-5305 or request a quote from our contact page. We'll book a free on-site walkthrough, usually within a couple of business days, and follow up with a fixed-price written quote — no obligation, no pressure.
