Highlighting Our Client Partnerships
Explore our portfolio of clients who trust us to enhance both the aesthetics and durability of their architectural components. Our expertise consistently delivers standout results.
Each project begins with a consultation to discuss scope, colour choices, and task strategy.
We select 2-3 products, create samples, and present them to you, letting you visualize and choose the best fit.
After finalizing the product choice, we define project phases to schedule work at our shop or onsite and provide a detailed estimate.
We works closely with suppliers from the start to proactively address issues and consistently deliver exceptional finishes.
Colour matching stains & quality control is our true strength. You only get one chance to get it right. We’ve worked with wood and cedar siding for years.
Clients experience mismatches and quality control issues in the final result, affecting finish quality on wood.
1 – 2 week turnaround for the average sized painting project, depending on the number of coats and whether painting is required.
Experience potential home disruptions, no-shows, and delays, as some contractors often lack the manpower and care to finish your project on your timeline.
We use premium, modern water-based coating systems like Sansin and Renner from Italy, selecting the best option for each wood type and application.
Experience challenges as the applicator may be unable and / or unwilling to find the most appropriate wood products and techniques to suit your needs.
Our flood coating and advanced systems provide 8–10 years of protection for wood before visible degradation appears or cleaning and maintenance are needed.
Within 3-5 years, water staining, colour loss and black mold start to set in and become visible, requiring coating removal.
All sides of the shingle are perfectly coated and can be utilized – there is no good or bad side. Improves durability and protects wood long term.
Carpenters and roofers must carefully place each shingle, especially for unfinished wood, increasing costs and the risk of client disappointment.
Our Vancouver facility (32 miles from the US border) handles pre-finishing and washing of shingles, reducing contractor workload with direct delivery.
Site finishing of shingles by hand consumes an exorbitant amount of space and time in your home and interrupts the efficient flow of other trades.
We Stand By Our Service Quality
We’re so confident in the quality and durability of our process and product that we provide a craftmanship warranty of 5 years and a manufacturer’s warranty on the coating for 25 years (excl. normal wear-and-tear & wood-material movement). Our mission is to always create a no-compromise refinishing solution that would blow away professionals within the renovation industry.
