Interior and Exterior Painting in Burnaby, BC
Based in Burnaby, we proudly serve clients throughout the Lower Mainland.
WHAT WE DO
Exterior coatings want surfaces between roughly 10 and 25 degrees Celsius and two to four dry days to cure, which in a region averaging 245 millimetres of rain in November and 44 in July narrows the working season sharply. RennovArea Construction ltd
schedules exterior work across Burnaby, BC
into that window and runs interiors right through the year, covering walls, ceilings, trim, doors, cabinetry, siding, fascia, railings and decks with the preparation each surface actually needs before a single brush touches it.
WHERE WE PAINT
Cedar, Stucco and Fibre Cement All Weather Very Differently Here
Burnaby, BC gives paint a hard time. West-facing cedar siding on the slopes above Burrard Inlet chalks and greys within a few seasons. Stucco on the post-war housing through Burnaby Heights holds moisture long after the rain has stopped. Fibre cement on newer builds across Langley, Surrey, Richmond and White Rock needs an entirely different primer. Interior ceilings in older suites carry textured coatings that must be tested before any sanding starts. Each substrate sets its own preparation, its own primer and its own timing.
Painting Services We Provide
Preparation, product and timing together decide how long a finish lasts. Each service below is quoted with the preparation named explicitly on the page, so that nothing important ends up quietly skipped on a wet week.
01
Interior Walls and Ceilings
Filling, sanding, spot priming and cutting in before rolling, with furniture moved out and floors fully protected. Ceilings are cut and coated in one continuous session so that no lap marks ever show up across the ceiling under afternoon light.
02
Trim, Doors and Cabinetry
Degreasing, deglossing, filling and priming before any finish coats, sprayed or brushed depending on the piece. Cabinet doors come off, get labelled and are finished lying flat, so runs and sags never form along the stiles, rails and panel edges.
03
Exterior Siding and Cladding
Washing, scraping, sanding, spot priming and caulking, with failed sections cut out and replaced before coating begins. Cedar, stucco, fibre cement and vinyl each receive the specific primer and coating system that particular substrate genuinely requires out on the coast.
04
Fascia, Soffit and Trim Work
The details that weather first and get skipped most often on a fast quote. Working from proper access, edges are prepared and sealed so water sheds rather than sitting where two materials meet and then wicking in behind the coating.
05
Deck and Railing Refinishing
Stripping or sanding back failed coatings, replacing rotten boards, then applying a stain or solid coating suited to horizontal exposure. Horizontal surfaces take far more punishment than walls do and need rebuilding accordingly before any new stain or coating is applied.
06
Colour Consultation and Sampling
Large sample boards viewed on your own walls in your own light, morning and evening, well before any order is placed. Undertones behave completely differently under coastal overcast than they ever do under showroom lighting or on a paint chip.

What Our Customers Say
The Preparation That Decides How Long Your Paint Actually Lasts
Two identical coatings can last three years or twelve, and the difference is almost entirely preparation and timing. These are the steps that quietly separate one of those outcomes from the other on a coastal house.
01
Cleaning Before Anything Else
Chalk, mildew, pollen and road film all prevent adhesion, no matter how good the product is. A thorough wash and full dry time is the least glamorous step, and the one most often shortened to save a day.
02
Sound Substrate Before Coating
Rot removed down to sound wood, loose material scraped away, and failing edges feathered smooth. Paint is a coating rather than a repair, and applying it over compromised material simply hides the problem until it reappears a season or two later, considerably larger.
03
The Right Primer for the Surface
Bare cedar bleeds tannin, stucco is alkaline, fibre cement arrives factory primed and glossy trim needs a bonding coat. Matching the primer to the substrate is what stops staining, peeling and adhesion failure from appearing a year or two later.
04
Caulking and Sealing Joints
Every junction where two materials meet is a potential route for water. Flexible sealant at the correct joints, and deliberately not across the drainage gaps, keeps moisture out while still letting the whole wall assembly dry out properly between storms.
05
Watching Dew Point, Not Just Temperature
A surface can sit above the minimum application temperature and still be far too close to the dew point to cure. Tracking both together is what prevents the dull, blotchy finish that shows up on the wall a few weeks afterwards.
06
Coating Thickness and Recoat Timing
Two properly built coats will outlast three thin rushed ones every time. Respecting the stated recoat window lets each layer cure and bond, which delivers the full film thickness the manufacturer based both its warranty and its stated service life on.
WHO WE ARE
A Delayed Start Always Beats Moisture Trapped Under Paint
Paint fails from what happens before the brush, and from painting when the weather quietly says not to. So we moisture check siding after rain, watch the dew point rather than just the forecast, and say plainly when a start date should move. 12 years of coastal exteriors has made us conservative about it, and our repaint intervals run longer for exactly that reason.

Coatings That Hold Their Colour Through Coastal Winters
A paint job is a maintenance decision as much as a cosmetic one, because the film is what keeps water out of siding, trim and deck boards. Get the preparation and the weather window right and the interval before the next repaint stretches by years. Get either one wrong, and the failure shows up during the first proper stretch of November rain. Homeowners across Burnaby, BC come to us after a fast, cheap exterior repaint let go early, and we would rather be the ones who take the extra day. Book a colour and condition assessment through our contact page, and we will walk the exterior together.
FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time of year to paint a house exterior in Metro Vancouver?
June through September is the reliable stretch, with May and early October as workable shoulder options. Rainfall drops to roughly 44 millimetres in July against 245 in November, so RennovArea construction ltd books Burnaby, BC exteriors inside that window.
How cold is too cold to paint outside?
Most exterior coatings want surfaces above roughly 10 degrees Celsius through both application and overnight cure. Below that, film formation stalls and the coating stays soft, which shows up a season later as poor adhesion, early chalking and premature coating failure.
How long should siding dry after rain before painting?
Cedar and fibre cement generally need one to two days, while stucco or masonry want two to three. Moisture meter readings rather than the calendar decide it, because shaded and north-facing elevations dry considerably more slowly than the rest.
Does old paint need to be stripped before repainting?
Not usually. Sound, well-adhered paint only needs washing, sanding and spot priming beforehand. Stripping becomes necessary where multiple layers are peeling, where the film has cracked right through, or where the surface is heavily built up with old layers.
What sheen should be used in a bathroom or a kitchen?
Satin or semi-gloss in both, since they resist moisture and clean up without burnishing the surface. Flat finishes hide wall imperfections beautifully but absorb steam and cooking residue, then mark permanently the first time you try scrubbing them clean.
How many coats does a colour change need?
Two finish coats over a tinted primer usually covers it, though deep reds, strong yellows and dark-to-light changes often want three. Primer tinted toward the topcoat reduces the number of finish coats required and evens out the colour.
What is low-VOC paint and is it worth choosing?
Low-VOC coatings release far fewer volatile compounds as they cure, so the smell dissipates quickly and rooms become usable sooner. Modern formulations match conventional paint for durability, which makes the choice fairly straightforward for interior work in an occupied house.
How long does exterior paint last in a rainy climate?
Properly prepared, a quality acrylic system typically holds seven to ten years on siding and rather less on horizontal surfaces. On the Burnaby, BC exteriors, RennovArea construction ltd repaints the south and west elevations and the decks always go first.
