Our Approach in Burnaby
How we work in Burnaby
A single Burnaby block can hold a 1960s rancher, a new laneway home and a mid-rise tower. Your home gets a painting plan built for its own surfaces.
Mountains to the north and the Fraser River to the south. Burnaby pulls moisture from both directions, so siding dries slowly. Paint applied over damp wood fails within a few years, which is why a moisture reading comes before any primer.
What each project includes
- 1A walkthrough of each surface before anything is scheduled
- 2Coatings matched to each surface, never one primer for everything
- 3Daily updates, end-of-day cleanup, and a final walkthrough together

Why Shape of Paint
Why Burnaby homeowners choose us
Burnaby is one of the most architecturally mixed cities in the Lower Mainland. Your home needs a team that reads the surface on site and chooses products to suit it. Redevelopment also means construction dust settles on exterior walls quickly. Cleaning before primer is what stops that dust from becoming a bonding problem later.

Common Questions
What Burnaby homeowners ask
- What painting services are available in Burnaby?
- Interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet painting, decorative finishes, deck and fence staining, and custom millwork and feature wall finishing, all in Burnaby. Each one starts with a walkthrough and a written scope.
- How much does painting cost in Burnaby?
- Interior painting in Burnaby typically ranges from $3–$8 per square foot, while exterior projects fall between $4–$12 per square foot. These are directional ranges—not fixed rates. Pricing shifts based on scope complexity: the number of substrates involved (drywall, millwork, masonry), the preparation standard required, site access, and the coating systems specified. A simple repaint and a multi-surface, prep-intensive project may share the same square footage, but they are not equivalent in cost. Accurate pricing requires a defined scope—mapped surfaces, specified products, and a clear level of finish.
- Do you handle Venetian plaster and decorative finishes in Burnaby?
- Yes. Marmorino, Venetian plaster, limewash, and layered texture are applied by hand with Metropolis, Novocolor, and MEODED materials. You approve a sample board in your own room before the wall is done.
- Can you restore outdoor wood surfaces in Burnaby?
- Yes. Outdoor wood is washed, checked for moisture, and stained with penetrating systems from Livos, C2, or Sansin, timed to the dry weather the wood needs.
- How does your process reduce project risk in Burnaby?
- We walk your home and test each surface before the quote is written. The quote names the product for each surface, the start window, and the completion date. About 60% of the project goes to surface work before paint. You get daily updates, a 12-point site check each day, and a written workmanship warranty.
