Burnaby has Metro Vancouver's densest concentration of high-rises — Brentwood, Metrotown, Lougheed and Burquitlam are all stacked with 30+ storey towers. Painting a unit inside one of these buildings is more about logistics than paint. Here is how we keep Burnaby strata projects clean, fast and complaint-free.
Get the strata paperwork done before quoting
Most Burnaby buildings require a Certificate of Insurance naming the strata as additional insured, plus WCB clearance. We send both up front so concierge can approve the work order without phone tag.
Book the elevator early
Brentwood and Metrotown towers usually require 48–72 hours notice for service-elevator bookings, and there are blackout windows for move-ins on weekends. We schedule painting around the elevator slot, not the other way around.
Use low-VOC paints — your neighbours will notice
Shared HVAC means paint smell travels. We default to premium low-VOC products like Benjamin Moore Natura or Sherwin-Williams Harmony for every Burnaby condo project so the unit is back in use the same evening.
Plan for one- and two-day turnovers
Most Burnaby one-bedroom suites can be repainted in a single day; two-bedroom and den layouts in Brentwood Gate and Solo District typically take two. Cabinet refinishing adds 5–7 days because doors are sprayed off-site.
