Exterior Painting North Vancouver & Greater Vancouver

At Gemstone Painting, we specialize in professional exterior painting services that not only elevate the look of your home but also provide long-term protection against the elements. Serving North Vancouver, Pemberton Heights ,West Vancouver, Burnaby, and surrounding areas, we understand the demands of the local climate and tailor our process for durability and a flawless finish.

Our exterior work includes fascia boards, soffits, window and door trims, gutters, wood siding, stucco, and more. We start by thoroughly preparing all surfaces—this includes power washing, sanding, scraping flaking paint, and applying a high-adhesion oil-based or stain-blocking primer when needed. Gaps and joints are sealed with high-quality caulking to prevent moisture intrusion and ensure a smooth surface.

We then apply two coats of premium exterior paint, most often from trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams, to ensure a crisp, weather-resistant finish. Throughout the process, we take great care to mask and protect all surrounding areas, leaving your property clean and your new paint job looking sharp.

Whether you need to refresh old trim, restore damaged fascia boards, or give your whole exterior a clean new look, we bring experience, attention to detail, and pride in our craftsmanship to every project.

Protection

  • Exterior Surface & Property Protection:Before we begin any exterior painting, we take great care to protect your home and surrounding areas. We cover windows, landscaping, walkways, and outdoor fixtures with high-quality masking materials and drop cloths to prevent overspray and paint drips. Your property stays clean, safe, and fully protected throughout the entire painting process.

Preparation of Surface

  • Cleaning & Sanding: Proper preparation is key to a lasting exterior finish. We thoroughly clean surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and loose material, then sand where needed to smooth rough areas and ensure strong paint adhesion.

  • Patch and Repair: We repair cracks, gaps, and damaged sections on siding, trim, and other exterior surfaces using high-quality fillers and sealants. This creates a smooth, even base so the final paint job looks clean, consistent, and professional.

Painting

  • Primer Application:We apply high-quality exterior primer to all properly prepared surfaces to ensure strong adhesion, even color coverage, and long-lasting durability. Primer also seals porous materials and blocks stains, creating the ideal base for a smooth, professional finish.

     

  • Paint Application:Using premium exterior paints, we apply multiple coats for full coverage and a rich, consistent color. Our team uses professional brushing and rolling techniques to achieve an even, flawless finish that stands up to weather and wear.

Cleanup and Supervision
